Before exercise my goal is 1500. I'm 5'6" (basically) and 119lbs. I'm getting results. Doing p90x 6 days per week. Calculate your TDEE and then go from there :)

I was a 32D before (when I was 145obs) and I'm a 30D now (119lbs).mwhen I got pregnant obviously they got bigger (32F) but the difference between before I got pregnant and now isn't that much.

You can do it! I'm 5' 5.5" and want to lose another 4lbs I think :)

5' 5.5" Starting- 145lbs US size 8/9 pants End of Pregnancy- 200lbs size medium maternity pants Current- 119lbs between size 0 and 00

Yea I don't buy the shirts. I just have one pair of jeans from there that I got last October. I'm having trouble finding stores that sell clothing that fits me over here in the UK

Ok, thank you :smile:

It actually makes your face look thinner and shows off your amazing jaw line :)

I always shopped at American eagle and love their clothing but they definitely run big and they don't have it in the UK :sad:

Lol I really didn't mean it that way but it does sound like it! I should re-read my posts before posting :blushing:

Haha I get frustrated because it's so hard to see even to pick sizes and it's really loud (I sound so old for a 23 year old! Lol but it's true) I love their clothes though and am having a hard time finding clothes that fit well.

It really depends on your body and shape. For most women weight comes off of the thighs last (or nearly last) so there's no real way if telling. Why don't you make it your goal to lose a number of inches from your lower half (like 2-3?) Edited for typos

The last little bit is the hardest to lose agree with the above^^ and you may have just hit a plateau

Oops didn't mean to post again

I have no idea and I was never 'fat'.. I gained lots of weight while pregnant so after I had the baby technically I was I suppose. Before I got pregnant I was a lot larger than I am now (wore US size 9 jeans and now I wear between a US size 0 and 00) . It's hard for me because I'm still the same shape that I didn't like…

Eggs. I get terrible stomach cramps that last at least 6 hours if I eat eggs plain (cooked into things is fine like egg fried rice or cake although I've given those up too due to calorie content). I love eggs but I can't afford to spend all day curled up into a ball :cry:

Agree with both^^^

Forget about the scale and track your niches lost, IMO it's more accurate because you can gain a bit if muscle lost a bit of fat but stay the same weight. Also fluid retention for muscle repair plays a big part like someone previously said :)

Myself. I lost all the weight I gained during my pregnancy plus 26lbs. I haven't been this weight since...idk....I was about 14 or 15! I also want to look like Kiera Knightly :) not far to go I hope- 5' 6" and down to 119lbs

That's amazing! Great job!!!!

Exactly! Same for me. I'm so much better off since that I've been logging my food and exercise for a while. It's like when you live at home you don't really understand how expensive those $50 jeans are until you start paying your own bills. Same for exercise and nutrition! Do I really want that king sized chocolate bar…

IMO they aren't effective for long term because you'll likely gain back the weight you lost plus some. That being said, I'm am tempted to use a bottle before we go on holiday lol but I probably won't in the end :)

Wow! Congrats!!! You look fab and I like the jeans :drinker: :smile:

4lbs in 6 weeks sounds like good healthy weight loss. Keep doing p90x and the inches will come off. It usually takes until at least the second phase to see bigger results. Don't give up!

That doesn't seem right. Calculate your BMR band TDEE. If you eat at your TDEE you will maintain and if you eat below you will lose weight. You shouldn't eat below your BMR. I'm 5'6" and weigh 123lbs. My BMR is 1334 calories and my TDEE is 1835 calories with my activity level (before exercise) set at lightly active. I have…

Agree. I'm doing p90x too and definitely go by inches. Tracking inches is a better sign of weight loss than the scale because you could gain a bit of muscle , lose some fat and the scale won't change. Are you following the program exactly? Which plan are you doing: classic, doubles, or lean? How much water are you…

Things that aren't traditional breakfast foods are good. An avocado, smoked/steamed fish, veggies, green juice, etc etc. I read in health and fitness it help keeps you full for longer instead of eating higher calorie/high carb cereals and toast. Porridge (oatmeal) is also good because it takes longer to digest. I not…

Agree with the above. Also, it's only been 2 weeks! You're doing a great job but it seems like you are expecting very quick results. You will get the results you want, just try to be patient even though it's super hard!

How exciting! You can do it!

Oh yea, I forgot about that part of your post sorry. Spelt flour is a relative of wheat and unprocessed do it's easier to digest. There are lots of different options for flour: almond meal/flour, corn flour, rice flour, potato flour....

Thanks. Anyone may look at my diary if they want (please look at at least 2 weeks tho to get a better feel for what I 'usually' eat and how much I exercise). I think I eat healthy food and I have lost 7 inches in each thigh over the last 2 years but have 2-3 inches to reach my goal.
