My understanding of why we need to eat these calories back is to stop our bodies going into starvation mode. Without our exercise calories, we still have a deficit which will allow us to lose weight. Mine is set to 2lb per week. So if I burn 500 cals and eat them all back, I'm still going to lose 2lb. If you don't eat your…

I've got 2 dogs.... well puppies really. One is 9 months old and the other is 6 months old. Both me and my partner work full time, however I work from home. But there are times when I have appointments outside the home and the dogs have to be left alone for a few hours at a time and they are fine. I make sure they get…

When I lost all my weight last time I did lose it on my calves as well as everywhere else. I do think the job I had at the time helped though, I was a waitress and on my feet 12 hours a day 6 days a week.

I used to be a UK size 26 and went down to a 12. about 10 years ago. I didn't have any overhanging skin, although I never got a completely flat stomach. I'm hoping the same thing happens this time

Ultimately I'd like to lose around 100. I'm going to set smaller more manageable goals to start with though. Ideally I'd like to lose about 50 this year (1lb per week)

It's the same scale, batteries are fine etc. I just dont see how I can be in the same size clothes after apparently gaining 20lbs. When I've lost weight in the past I've always gone by my clothes sizes and never weight, so I think I'll have to do that again. I went down from a UK size 26 to a 12 a few years go. I will get…
