well done, you should feel justifyably proud of yourself. arent you amazed how strong you are?

ps. i'm not being facetious, except in saying I'm not there yet. it is great that you've made a transformation & I really salute you on that. re; calories. I have insufficient expertise myself to comment on that except to say good luck. smart job checking w/a professional.

yeah, thats not my problem ;) but i'm happy for you. what a great thing for a professional to tell you that you arent Ms chubby anymore, but an athlete. If I ever get here, I know I"ll have a hard time seeing myself as an athlete too.

Vino

flavored decaf (good quality) I've tried soem liquid, flavored stevia sweetener, none of that skanky artificial sweetener. I found some at spouts & got the chocolate. yum in hot coffee, they have also other flavors. Iw ant to try the orange in plain soda water. I have to be top heavy in protein or I get hungry. I also…

what a sweetie! now to fill it :)

greatjob. congrats on your commitment & achievements to date!

great attitude & great work!

well. having to move for work is certainly stressful. heres what helped me. I had to go for a blood test early in the morning, and was in the testing office with about 20 folks in their 60s & slightly more (I'm 53) and only 3 of them WERENT in walkers. and they werent steady on their feet. I go to a small gym with a bunch…

great work !

are you hoping to do better or trying to leave a bad situation? better question identify why you want to leave. .

look for circuit training gyms to do at lunch. an example is Curves here in the US & they have some UK facilities. its not the best work out, but its not a bad work out & its better than nothing & some people are very successful with their program alone. I can do their circuit & come back to work within an hour at lunch.…

wonderful inspiration for you... and for us! THANKS

so, if I quit eatign now & put it off til next week, I'll lose weight this week?

that IS cool. great going!

and sadly... its easy to fall in love. whats hard is falling in love with the right person. and then staying in love with that person .

damn straight.

no one who loves you makes you look bad to his friends & family. someone who loves you makes sure you look good to them just saying. sorry, it sucks when you love someone & its one sided.

odds are theres gonna be some bloat but try to keep the sodium down a few days before, and activity up the good news is when i'm reducing my sugar intake & exercising more my cramps are less severe as is the bloating.

at your height I cant believe you got 1200n calories. I'm just under 5' 0" & am at 1200 & even when I'm doing good I often hit 1300 or 1400 & lose

fabulous & now what a great change in focus, "its not the numbers its the healthy lifestyle" congrats on making a healthier, better, happier life

fantastic! you looked good before but now you look absolutely great. & healthy. i'm so happy for you!

good work! you can absoltuely do this!

totally great! congrats on finding a healthier way to be happy.

just checked our your profile. you're 27? I think you're going ot have problems at 1200 calories. i'm 53, not quite 5'0" and 1200 works for me (when I do it) and if i'm exercising a lot (more than 2 hrs a week in 1/2 increments) I lose better at 1350 or 1400 calories, within the parameters of more exercise & logging…

1200 calories at 5'7" sounds REALLY low. I have that but then I dont even scratch 5'0" so I get that. also experiment i'f i'm exercising a bit I dont lose at 1200 but more like 1300-1450 calories. remember if you eat too little, you wont lose at all. and 1200 for your height is not going to work I dont think. you can try…

toes? do share!

great work! great inspiration!
