Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what does 'NS' stand for?

I find generally that announcing my goals to other people doesn't help motivate me much. To be honest, no-one really cares. To me it's my own private goal and I'm happy just keeping it to myself. Plus I think I'd end up feeling more ashamed if I slipped up or would feel judged by others if I wasn't progressing as well as I…

5'6" Current weight: 120lbs Goal range: 112-116

I'm 5' 6.5", 120lbs and a comfortable UK size 8.

Late afternoon as well for me! I usually make a coffee and chew gum and just remember that it's not long until dinner. :)

I really want to look noticeably slimmer when I go back to uni after the christmas holidays.

I think I lose it off my thighs and neck/shoulders first. Tummy seems to be the last to go!

If there isn't an online nutritional information menu, then I just make a conservative estimate and leave it at that. I usually try to make my other meals in the day smaller to compensate. But a day slightly over doesn't do any harm anyway, as long as it's not a regular thing. :)

Buffets of any kind haha.

What's that supposed to mean?

For me, I completely stopped buying multi-pack or 'share' packets of junk food. I used to convince myself that I'd buy a big pack and then spread it out over the week or whatever, but I'd always end up eating the whole thing in a day or two. So now, if I really fancy a 'treat' I'll buy a small, normal-sized portion of it.…

20 years old, living in London. :) Feel free to add me.

I'm going to just enjoy myself on Christmas day and New Year's Eve and accept that worst case scenario, it just extends the amount of time it'll take to get to goal by about a week. :)

Not offensive at all. :) I think I gained weight because of the lifestyle change I underwent following university... eating too much junk food and starting to drink alcohol, combined with a lack of bathrooms scales meant my weight crept up. Sounds like you've been through a lot! Your loss of 60 pounds is very impressive…

Obviously I can't speak for all women, but I can speak for me. I'm not under the delusion that it would make me bulky or anything, it's more the fact that I have no idea how to go about it, I feel like I'd end up injuring myself, I feel like I'd feel quite intimidated by other guys using the weights, and it really just…

I think it was around 50 (woop for being the lowest on the thread to far haha)

To hit 119 pounds before Christmas and sustain that until new year!

I know this isn't really answering your question, but when I feel hungry despite eating enough calories over the whole day I just ride it out. Hunger pangs only last for about 15 minutes and then you're good to go until your next meal (for me personally, anyway). I just always remind myself that hunger isn't urgent.

Once a week. I used to try to weigh daily but got too obsessive about fluctuations so stopped.

The self-confidence I feel from being slim.

Be consistent. It doesn't matter if you screw up today, as long as you recommit you will get there eventually. :)

Hey, I'm Jess, 20 years old in my final year of uni. Looking to lose 10-12lbs :)

I lost my mum unexpectedly ~6 years ago. It's the hardest thing I've ever been through. I can only recommend remembering that it does get better and easier to cope with as time goes on. Make sure you don't bottle up your feelings and emotions. Talking with other people helps a lot. And feel free to feel how you feel -…

I'm 5' 6.5", my goal is 115lbs, and I'm currently 126lbs.

I'm in a similar boat. Already in a healthy BMI range but feel much happier about myself when I'm further towards the lower end of it (12 more pounds to go!)

Consistency. It doesn't matter if you're a bit above your goal today. As long as you are consistent and continue committing to your goals each day, you'll get there.

For me it takes about 5-10 lbs to see a proper difference. But I immediately feel better after a few days of restricting my calorie intake. It reduces my bloating and just makes me feel so much flatter which is a great confidence boost to get you going :)
