What I did to keep positive and motivated is I set small goals to reach at achievable dates, which I always smashed. Funnily, now I'm so close to my goal I'm feeling like it's a million miles away and I'm struggling not to over eat most days so I'm pretty much maintaining. I need to set a new goal ie lose 4lb by November…

If I was you I'd measure waist, chest, thighs and upper arms and just continue eating more than you used to. Any form of exercise you will end up burning more calories, meaning you would have to eat even more. I'd suggest just concentrate on eating more until you are no longer underweight then decide where to go from…

Hahaha!!! I eat loads but I think it's physically impossible to eat as much as what the food diary is implying!! And let's just say u are living in your bed, who is feeding u all this?? That's a full time job right there, supplying all that food to you on a daily basis. If this is all true then it'd be easy for you to get…

I ate nothing but chocolate birthday cake yesterday...breakfast, dinner, tea and snacks -just cake! I'm more ashamed to admit that I'm not ashamed! I liked it A LOT!

I am the same. Strangely, when I was a lot bigger I still thought of myself as average size, I never realised how big I actually was. Now I am a stone heavier than before I had my first child 11 years ago, and I can actually fit into the jeans I wore then, but tops I'm finding a lot shorter as my bra cup size is 6 sizes…

How tall are u? Because u are a male 23yr old and assuming u are not a dwarf, you are eating way too few calories. U also need to take the activity of your lifestyle into account.

Christ, I gained 3lb from yesterday's Chinese plus 1lb from the Easter eggs n sausage sarnies the day before. If your spiraling out of control over 1lb then god knows what I am doing!! A pound is seriously nothing, my 4lb is nothing too...up the training and try to be good with controlling food intake and will be gone…

Well I just looked through your food diary and most days recently u have been eating 600 calories a day! Along with the fact u think 1707 calories is a binge I think u may need to reevaluate your 'diet'.

Eat more, reduce your cardio to help with your weight gain, up your protein intake, up your training and creatine will help with that and muscle mass. I wouldn't bother with testosterone or steroids or anything else like that. Im a girl and only been training for just over a year and got good muscle gains by training hard…

58bpm in the last few months. In Jan before I started my fitness and weight loss it was between 90 and 100! Blood pressure always been perfect though, even with my 3 pregnancies.

#1 28lb and he was 9lb3oz #2 lost 16lb and he was 7lb10oz #3 lost 28lb and she was 8lb. I was slim when got pregnant on first and overweight on the second two so might be why I lost. Second pregnancy had severe sickness, and on 3rd I had no sickness at all and lost the most weight even though it was my easiest pregnancy.…

So quick to judge. My 10 year old is about a stone underweight due to his fathers genes I assume, so I do give him healthy along with 'bad' foods in his packed lunch as he needs the extra calories. If however I had an overweight child then things would be different. I believe if u ban all junk foods from children then they…

http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/hairloss/Pages/Womenandhairloss.aspx Not sure if the link is correct but it's normal after weight loss, pregnancy etc. I had it after my 3 pregnancies then recently after my weight loss. It's called telogen effluvium. The hair grows back :-) . I had my iron levels and thyroid function tested a…

On the plus side muscle burns more calories than fat, so continue as u are and u will be a fat burning machine :-) that's my goal.

No as I wasn't active so my legs never moved much. Doing many many squats and lunges built up my leg muscles since January. My legs weren't hugely fat anyway, I carried my weight around my middle so I would have noticed muscle in my legs.

All I know is that in the last 10 years of being a stay at home mum and no exercise and over eating, i lost alot of muscle, gained loads of fat and gained in total 7 stone! since January I've eaten 1200calories a day, mainly protein, trained 14hrs a week for a few months but had to cut back to 7hrs a week due to shin…

Ask friends/family if they can also smell u. I've done ketosis and not smelt any different but 2/3pregnancies I was convinced I smell different, I don't think I actually have a scent lol but was convinced I smelt when pregnant even straight after having bath but no-onee else could smell anything! If only you can smell it…

I've looked through your food diary and u are going from one extreme to another, one day 3, 500 calories then the next like 600!! This isn't healthy and u won't lose weight from doing it. I'd stick to your 1750 cals a day for a few weeks and see how u get on. If your losing then stick to it, if your maintaining then drop…

I was attention 38j and now a 36hh after losing 60lb. My bras now fit :-)

It started happening to me too after I had lost 3 1/2 stone. I'm blaming it on possible drop in bp as u stand, as low bp causes dizzy light headedness. I'm getting used to it now but bit scary when u have a bad dizzy spell where u think your going to pass out.

The girls face in the background is enough to put starved tramps off this delicacy! :sick:

I like the morals and self respect i have. I hate my judgmental, analytic, unforgiving ways lol! I think id be a better person without these traits, but i am what i am!

Haha oops! Well its highly unlikely so that's good news! Implantation bleeding happens at least a week after fertilization so if she got fertilized Thursday and spotting now, its too soon for implantation.

You should stop weight loss pills if trying to conceive. Also i have 3 children, youngest being 1 and you dont get morning sickness until at least a few weeks after conception. In most cases it starts at 9 weeks. Your hcg hormones would be too low within the first couple of weeks to give any pregnancy symptoms. You might…

Your tdee based on a sedentary lifestyle is that you should be eating 1700 calories. I would try upping your calories to at least 1200 and u might find it speeds metabolisms and your weight might go down. Try it for a few weeks and see how u go. Just make your food portions a bit bigger and maybe a healthy snack or two. I…

I was having a cheat day every time i hit a target, such as a stone. I have had many cheat days recently but i just end up re-losing the same few pounds over and over. Im hoping not to have a cheat day now until i lose another stone, now that everyone's birthdays are over with. It has always set me back and guilt kicks in.…

:laugh: thanks for the entertainment! :drinker:

Maybe if u wasn't dieting etc you may be a lot heavier now, so that's a plus that you haven't gained since Feb I guess. I was on depo and my weight shot up within the 6 months I was on it by 2 stone. I constantly looked heavily pregnant too as I kept getting a belly bloat! The coil is a better choice in my opinion. Don't…

Do this ^ every morning for an hour and the 4lb will drop off you, drink plenty of water too, but not at the same time haha! Messy!!

MAGNESIUM !!! I've suffered for 19 years (omg I just had to work that out and realise now I really am old) and I've tried all meds and painkillers. Nothing worked. Every month would get at least one 3 day migraine. Started taking magnesium and I've not had one since I started taking them. It's been months!! Loads of info…
