keep an eye on other boards popping up. I'll make a weekly weigh in board. Feel free to add any board of your own or make any suggestions for competitions and challenges etc :)

Hi everyone. This is so fantastic to be together in this. thank you all for sharing. I was diagnosed last week and all of a sudden everything makes sense, and I am terrified. I've always had weight problems and put it down to my sweet tooth, despite the fact that everyone around me eating and exercising the same were not…

I've just been diagnosed with pcos and feel really low about it but at least I now have an answer for my symptoms. Definitely think we should set up a support group on here for it. Feel free to add me :) I comment a lot!

Feels like this came along at the exact right moment. I'm 213.5 trying to get to 140. Been struggling with this for 2 years on MFP and not getting anywhere. I have trouble being consistent and really need a support group to keep me going. When I'm motivated and happy I am SO GOOD but then when I have a bad day it all goes…

I don't really understand TDEE but I'd say with all that exercise you are much more than moderately active!

amazing results! I bet you feel fantastic now :)

I would say yes, but count the calories. I drink the sugar free stuff which has barely any calories and try to make it as weak as I can, but it is the only way I can drink enough water each day as its easy to drink quickly if you don't like the taste of water :)

Hi 123janea! Let us know how you get on :) My weight loss has been very slow but I'm seeing changes on the inches front and I just need to focus more on eating clean during my non fast days. Progress so far. 7th Aug - 9.1 lbs lost 17th Aug - 9.8lbs lost 10th Sept - 6.1lbs lost 22nd Sept - 2.8lbs lost 29th Sept - 7lbs lost…

Whether you go to a salon or use the bottled stuff, if you are going to fake tan you need to do a couple of things to avoid the orange streaky look. exfoliate thoroughly, especially knees, ankles, elbows. Don't bother with an exfoliating cream, just use a loofah or rough flannel. moisturise and moisturise again. The fake…

Well done for losing so much weight! I'm 5, 7 and 208lbs and have a similar goal to you and I know how hard it can be. I don't know what exercise you are doing but how about trying Body Revolution by Jillian Michaels? it is 3 months long and gives you fantastic focus. I'm on week 3 and I'm finding that I naturally cut back…

This is a great article, thanks! And definitely one to read rather than just chase through for the photographs. Although I'd still much rather look like the 'bad' photos than I do now!

So proud of you and all your hard work and dedication :)

You've got to do what feels right for you. You obviously feel happier as you are, not to mention it is wonderful for your health and to be honest he is being pretty selfish. How our loved ones react to us has a serious effect on our health and specifically matters of weight. Don't let him bring you down and cause you to…

Running total lost since challenge start: 7th Aug - 9.1 lbs lost 17th Aug - 9.8lbs lost 10th Sept - 6.1lbs lost 22nd Sept - 2.8lbs lost 29th Sept - 7lbs lost So in total over the challenge I've gained 2lbs, but I haven't been fasting as often or as well as the plan outlines, so I'm only relieved it isn't more. Here's…

well done for maintaining that loss :) even though you were ill! that is very impressive. glad you are better now! and best of luck with it! I forgot to add my weigh in from Thursday. Lost 4lbs, but I'd gained weight, so I don't think I've lost anything since I started this challenge, but I'll get there eventually :)

It always gets to this point and gradually people start disappearing and stop commenting. Stay with me people! We can do this! x

I'm so proud of you all! You're really inspiring and helping me to keep going.

Okay so I know this is fairly pathetic, but one of my friends has moved to Qatar for a year or 2 and has teamed up with a PE teacher and is going crazy on the protein and workouts, aiming to be super toned when she comes back for christmas. This girl is already absolutely stunning, so this motivation of hers has really…

wonderful idea, lonypony. Thank you. Let's all try some new things and add our favourite recipe to the forum each week. Hopefully this will keep us excited about our fast days and not dreading them :)

Gained 3lbs :(

The end date of the 12 week challenge is 27th October. So we are nearly halfway through. Who fancies kicking it up a notch when we meet the halfway point at the end of the week? Any thoughts for how we can do this? I didn't fit in a fast day last week so going to do 3 this week to make up for it, and might try the no…

That is a really good idea actually because if you let yourself down you are also letting your friend down. Will try this, thanks :)

I failed at my fast today, but I'm completely drowning in work and stress so it's no big surprise. I will try to have one tomorrow and on Sunday, but might only manage 1 this week. Feels like I haven't weighed in ages so I'm nervous about that but determined to wait til after time of the month. Blogilates is a site made by…

Day 2 and looking good :) Hope I can keep this up all week as I'm feeling full and happy!

So proud of everyone's progress :) Currently I have time of the month so I'm waiting for that to go before I weigh...but my portions are smaller, I'm logging everything and I'm cutting back on non-fast day calories so feeling good. Plus I've started doing blogilates workouts, so toning away :) Fasting on Weds/ Thurs and…

I know the feeling. I treat myself to coffee with sugar in the morning and try to have it just with milk for the rest of the day and that works most of the time (although when I'm sad or tired I have to have that extra kick) This week's challenge is to aim for 1200 net cals for the week. I have trouble with this but…

Of course! Take care and I'll be here if and when you need me. Or you can email me: lawrighte@gmail.com if you need a friendly ear :) xxx

How are you doing? I'm walking as much as I can. Will work out how many steps I've done tomorrow and report back :) xxx

Ooh you're doing amazingly. I'm hoping that the extra exercise and fewer calories will help a loss is week, but still waiting for time of the month and still eating too much really. Hopefully being back at home and logging will cut back the calories. What does everyone eat on a nonfast day? I'm aiming for 1700 but seem to…

Sorry I've not been commenting as much. In Ireland with my grandma so not had much time. How is everyone doing? I've been eating lots of veg and walking more. Logging everything but still struggling with too many calories. How much are you all eating on non fast days?
