Definitely stretching!!!! I've had sciatica & tight back muscles for over a year but just put up with it until I could no longer stand for long without fidgeting from one leg to the other (like a dancing flamingo lol). I didn't want to keep taking pills forever so I finally got an appointment with the hospital who advised…

OK so these were my past 2 statuses and I'm feeling pretty positive about the change. *OK so it's a slow start at controlling my weekends. I didn't have any wine this evening and had chicken kebab for dinner but NO CHIPS! My stomach was eating 'hey where's my chips' but my head was saying 'did you die?' *So Saturdays…

I thank everyone for their responses and for not getting too frustrated with me :-)

Thank you everyone. I just feel like a bit of a 'wet lettuce' at the moment. Everyone keeps telling me I look good and don't need to lose any more but the loss happened a couple of years ago and I so feel pathetic. I sit here now with a bloated gut making me feel conscious! I thought a UK 14 was the size I wanted to be…

I don't necessarily binge (I no you wasn't implying that) but I can tend to eat the wrong foods at weekends especially as my Mr doesn't diet or train. It's hard seeing him eat a bar of chocolate whilst I miss out, which I know is losing focus on what I want. It'd be nice to know what calories to start a fresh on including…

Thanks for all replies so far. I am 5ft6.5 (that half matters lol) at 196lb. Workout below. Yes I can be awful with weekends but with the amount of exercise I do I might I'd still lose. I've tallied all calories for the past week and divided between 7 and they work out to 1875 a day which is still a deficit. My workout…

Thanks for your input. I started a few years ago at 220lbs losing 24lbs and since been maintaining majority of the time but now want to lose a little more. I always thought once I got to a UK14 I'd be where I want to be but now I look at myself and want to lose a little more tummy or tone up my arms more. We are just never…

Ohh dark hair & blue eyes! Or asking if we should do shots :D

Hey Guys Not sure if this thread is still running but I just wanted to post my progression pics from my compound lift programme. I think I see a change but is it normal for it to be such a small change for 4 weeks? I understand I need to be lifting for a while before I see major changes AND I need to rein in my weekends a…

Oh Wow, you look awesome!! I feel I can relate to your stats etc so you are my inspiration. I originally started MFP a few years ago weighing 219lbs. I am now 196lbs and have been for around 3 years now, dropping and gaining 2-4lbs here and there but mainly maintaining. I do a hell of a lot of cardio and eat smart the…

Jalapeno dip? Please tell me more! Love jalapeno things

Only 2 stone lost but I feel much better, happier and enjoy working out now, which is the main thing.

Hey hey.. 5ft6.5 (yes the .5 matters lol) size UK 14 here weighing in at 88kg/194lb I think. Still trying to lose a little more, perhaps another 21lbs!! Originally UK 18/20 weighing in at 98kg/216lb It is fascinating how people shorter and/or lighter than me can wear the same dress size!! Weird wonders of the body!
-
I am thinking about eating at maintenance to see if that helps. The thing is I've been eating at such a low calorie that I am struggling to eat over 1500-1700. Perhaps I can have a little more in my portions now as I restricted rice, pasta etc to 50g or have a jacket potato or something with the fish and vegetables I was…
-
Sure! and sorry for the bully bob cee134 I can come our with some strange phrases from time to time, I certainly like to stick out from the crowd. You perhaps guessed that with having pink hair! I do love me these days and I can't be more grateful for this feeling of self worth! (I also like exclamation marks!!) so I think…
-
Thank you so much for all your replies and support. I really love how MFP gives us a community to depend of if needed whether we personally know each other or not <3 Everyone says different things about what my calorie deficit should be and having been on a low one for so long I think being on a higher calorie intake it…

Strut that stuff
-
Total sense!!! I have set my deficit at 1500 calories (via MFP) and will not eat any calories back as I have already set it to 'Active 3-5 workouts a week'. Why have I been so blind, stupid and greedy. As I state above I think I have been eating back calories even though I've incorporated them into my deficit!!! I will…
-
I do weight my food with electronic scales however as stated I can have a cheat Sunday which could be my demon! I have set my calorie intake now, via MFP, at an active level so I won't eat back any calories. *Lightbulb moment* Thinking about it I may of had my deficit set at active before but then ate back my workouts :s
-
Cheat MEAL on a Friday & then may mess the whole day Sunday up so yes it's possible I average and mess the week up doing it. I understand it's only Wednesday but I have started a new this week after a weeks holiday, re-focused and getting serious about losing another dress size!!
-
I'd like to lose around 25lbs to be happy and maintain from then on. You recon this is little a little amount and do 1lb? BTW I appreciate all your advice and comments

Sorry I meant refined or what ever they say not to eat. My sugars come from berries and honey but been told to cut honey out.
