Hi there, I also have a question along the same lines - do I have to lose weight before starting to lift heavy? I've been doing a similar circuit with resistance type programme but want to get skinny strong eventually. Should I continue what I'm doing until I'm at my goal weight? Thanks for the advice! Hx

Thanks really helpful! I definitely didn't realise about eating back the cals your burn with the mfp, maybe if i'd known that I wouldn't have had so many issues, now I know about TDEE though I think I'm going to give it a try. X

Thanks guys, I don't know why there's so much confusion out there but there definitely is! I'm going to play around and see what happens. x

Oh man, I meant to put that. EDITED! Thanks

This is also true for me.. all the skinny girls are now unattractive women... KARMA baby. just keep doing what you're doing and know you're doing a fantastic job. It take balls to go out and exercise, don't let ignorant idiots stop you. x

This is AWESOME! I am so in! Keep me posted too!

I recently started getting up to exercise which used to go against every bone in my body! The best piece of advice I read was to not let yourself think about it. As soon as the alarm goes off just get up. If you lie there it'll seem far worse. Once you're up you're up. Don't snooze. If it helps I also read that you could…

Congratulations! What a mega achievement. You should be very proud of yourself. :)

Hey I'm pushing it at 28 :) but feel free to add my peeps. The more support we have the better! Good luck! Harri x

Hey, feel free to add me, I've been a similar journey and now this is the final push that's really going to get me down to a healthy weight. Good luck! Harri x

Hi! I lost weight with WW about 8 years ago and managed to keep it off, then last year moved to Slimming World and lost almost a stone but it wasn't sustainable. I briefly went back to WW this year but was totally sick of having to count points and not knowing how much anything was.. it just didn't feel realistic anymore.…

Wow, I can't believe how low some of everyone's goals are.. I'm 5'9 and my goal is 160. I really can't imagine begin as low as 130 something. I guess everyone is different. What's everyone's else's calorie intake? I've been set 1200 but then in other forums people are saying this is quite low!? I'm new on here so still…

Hi, I think you're so brave to open up about your binge eating but how brilliant that every who has commented on here is supporting each other. I also used to binge and purge regularly, especially when I was in Uni. I still could easily - I don't know why, I feel that I don't have a pull switch the same as everyone else…

Wow you look amazing! Well done! Super inspirational! Harri x

Thanks for your motivational messages guys. I had no idea there was such a great community on here! I feel much more confident I can do it now! x
