Amazing difference! Congratulations! Look at those pins! Keep going and you'll be where you want to be before too long. :happy:

Incredible, what an amazing journey and how lucky you are to have such an inspirational lady in your life! Thanks for sharing

I've just seen this post, great way of looking at it. I've worked out I've lost 17.5% so far and have another 19% to go to get to goal of 168. Will check in each week from now on. Good luck everyone!!

Congratulations on your achievement - you can see a huge difference already!

Wow - you look amazing. Congrats on your hard work!

I think I've noticed a flaw in the whole 'you should eat back your calories' argument. Your daily 'break even point' which for me is about 2200 - BMRx1.2 for me takes account of a normal, lightly active, non exercise day. To lose 2bs per week - MFP says I should be eating 1200 per day. Yesterday I spent 2 hrs exercising…

I think you should look at your profile picture about looking back! You've come so far already! I'm about 9lbs into a weightloss that seems sometimes like a mountain to climb - But I look on here and read the success stories - no magic wands, just a lot of people that have worked Really hard to achieve amazing things and…

Only working out 3 times a week.

I'm going to open up my food diary again. I've worked out my BMR is about 1850, so I've estimated break even (sedentary lifestyle) is 2200 per day. I'm hitting 1000-1200 per day, not eating back my all calories from exercise - mainly because I'm not hungry enough too.. I've lost 3-4lbs in 3 weeks now. Feels as though I…

Thanks Emma! Still struggling to lose it but going to cut down my carbs further and up my protein to see if that helps! I do however, feel better and I think look healthier (it could just be psychosomatic!) so I'm feeling some good effects! :)

Thanks for this, I will check out the page. It still doesn't seem to be coming off but I'm going to persevere..

Wow! Congratulations! What an achievement, you look fab!

Hi, my brother and sister in law have done this diet for about 3 months now. They have steadily lost and find it works for them on a Monday and Tuesday each week; However I would have to say that - they eat pretty well the rest of the week, they drink too much probably but neither of them was really overweight before, they…

It's not my baby! My nephew - so no, def not breastfeeding :) I think I'm getting a pretty good range of nutrients plus taking additional vitamins. The main thing I'm cutting down on is carbs and upping protein. So basically I'm trying to eat chicken/ fish with green veg etc. Most of the calories in the evening is a good…

Wow, what an incredible achievement, you must be so proud of yourself!! Thanks for the inspiration!

I started on the Monday before last but have only taken the weight from the Saturday so guess I could have lost some 'water weight' prior to initial weigh in. Have always seen quick results in the first couple of weeks so was hoping for that quick boost I guess. Will persevere and update next week. Thanks for all the words…

Hi, Yes, 2lbs a week which given how much I have to lose didn't seem unreasonable. I'm 37yrs old, 5'6'', 17stone 8bs. rough body fat is 38%, don't know what my BMI is. I've been trying to stick to 1260 per day as per the guidelines, I'm not consciously trying to go under and on days I don't do exercise it seems to be…

Hi Mary, I too have done many diets over the years, I did lighterlife 4 years ago and lost 3 stone, but have put on 6.... realised the only way I'm going to lose it forever is to re-educate my eating habits long term. The water thing isn't something I'm good at, I drink quite a lot of tea, but am trying to cut down on the…
