Starting Weight - 87Kg Current Weight - 75Kg Goal Weight - 60 to 65Kg I had a couple of comments about a month ago - so at around 78 Kg (9Kg lost) but the comments have been coming much more frequently over the last week or so (12Kg lost) Previously I had lost a similar amount, and nobody truly noticed - or didn't comment.…

Thank you all for the replies, I really appreciate it. These last two weeks I've been staying mostly in my calorie allowance (sometimes closer to maintenance than I'd like - but that was due to birthday parties) and have kept mostly to the exercise program. However weightloss has stalled at 75Kg since I hit it the 19th. I…

This is a very interesting topic for me, as I currently live in a large city in South Africa, but grew up in one of the smaller rural towns (farming community). Growing up we ate mostly "healthy" whole foods - vegetables, rice, good quality meat - but had no idea about portion sizes [and you did not dare not finish your…

During the last two weeks I have had a number of people noticing/commenting. I didn't mind telling them how much I've lost thus far, but I made the mistake of telling one of these people that I still have as much left to lose as I've lost thus far (about 12Kg) and got the inevitable comments about where I think that weight…

Agreed with this. My feeling is if you focus more on fitness goals than weightloss goals (whilst still maintaining a manageable deficit) you will be able to impress your coach by the end of April much more than a loss of 15 pounds (with a very likely loss of lean muscle and energy levels) would do...

All of this!!!

Myth: Some people just cannot physically lose weight, even though there is no medical reason for this phenomenon. A friend of mine has had multiple blood tests performed (BG and Thyroid levels are fine), but she just CANNOT lose weight... This being said as she is eating an extra large plate of rice, meat and veggies -…

Haha, had to consult a conversion chart as well and my current size is the same as yours. Would love to be in a South African 34(UK10/US6) by June but would be happy with 36(12/8). By Summer here (November) I would love to fit in 32 (UK8/US4).

So, I'm still going strong with the change in lifestyle. I think the thing that has surprised me most about this time's "diet" is how smoothly thing are progressing! Cravings have been minimal, I've been able to hit close to my desired macros on most days, exercise is going good (except for current plantar fasciitis) and…

I'm 29 and 167.5 cm (around 5'5 - so slightly shorter than you guys). Started in January at approximately 87 Kg (192lb). Currently down to exactly 75 Kg (165.3lb) today. Goal weight is around 60 Kg (132.2lb). Waist measurement currently is around 79cm (31inch). Would love to get down to around 66cm (26inch) - but will see…

Height: 5ft5 (167cm) SW this Jan: 190lb (86 Kg) Have been over 200lb (90Kg) before. CW: 168lb (76.5 Kg) GW: was 143lb (65 Kg) initially but am now thinking I would love to go down to 132lb (60Kg) Have previously lost weight to where I currently am, but would then return to bad habits - was always just so happy to be closer…

I only started January this year and am not quite a third of the way to my goal, but a few things I have noticed: The boobs are the first to go :neutral: And as someone who didn't have a lot of it to begin with, that's not good news... You need a lot more washing powder and soap. I'm doing cardio in the morning and weights…

7Kg left to get to healthy/normal BMI. I understand the issues some have with the system, but I feel very strongly about getting into the healthy range and staying there. Haven't been under 25BMI in my adult life, so it is a huge goal for myself. Closest I came was at 27, and that was where I fell off the wagon the…

I'm 5'6 (167cm). Starting Weight - ~90Kg (200lb) (Started on MFP at 85) Current Weight - 78Kg (172lb) Goal Weight - 65Kg(143lb) but would like to go down to 60Kg (133lb) if possible... I'm probably medium build, but haven't weighed anything close to GW since I was about 15 years old...

I was going through some University photos today and found this one, (cropped my friends out for their privacy) and was shocked at the size I was. I never wanted to go close to a scale at that time (last year of uni (2012) - May at the Comrades marathon where we were working that year) but had to weigh in excess of 90…

Definitely just stick with it. I'm just over 5'5 (167cm) and currently weighed 79.0 Kg yesterday morning.. But according to the scale last night it was 81.2 Kg and this morning it was 79.1Kg. (About a 3 pound "play"). It is all normal weight fluctuations. According to the trend app I downloaded my trend weight is 80Kg.…

My 2 cents for what it is worth. I got my fitbit mid January, mostly for the HR monitor and sleep tracking features. Found that my Resting Heart Rate is actually pretty good (thought it would be in the mid 70s, but turned out it was early to mid 60s) - though it does go into the 80s and 90s with very little physical…

I log on MFP once or twice per week, usually when there is a loss, but sometimes even when there was a small gain, as I know these things are not linear. I usually weigh in the mornings, in the same basic clothes. Tend to see fluctuations of up to 2kg, but it usually evens out by the third day. If somebody were to ask I…

Thought it was time to update and share some small victories (and minor setbacks). I recorded my lowest weight a couple of days ago (79.4Kg) - down 3.3kg in approximately 3 weeks. Yay out of the 80's! :wink: However the scale reported an increase back into the 80's this morning. But that was most likely due to waterweight…

We very rarely get temp below 0C so it's never too cold to work out for me, but when it reaches 38 - 45 C as it has the past month, I only exercise very early mornings, as the heat is just too much to bear...

I started adding a 10 minute taebo express workout to my regular 50 minute morning walk, and I love it. I may start to lessen my walk to 40 minutes to fit in 2 sessions. It's a fun and highly active way of spending 10 minutes so keep at it! (Ps. I do some basic bodyweight exercises and a session on the elliptical or…

I am very positive at the moment. Topped 25000 steps today for the first time according to my fitbit, and am averaging 20000 steps daily. Also bought a body composition scale today so will have more clear goals to strive for. As for NSV's, walking has definitely become easier and I was able to walk approximately 6 km in 55…

Details please

This, pretty much...

As somebody who also suffers from hypotension I concur, it shouldn't affect your weightloss. Make you feel like crap at times - sure, but shouldn't effect weightloss except as said in the sense that with energy levels lower you don't do as much as otherwise possible at the gym. Also with the decreased energy you may be…
