Well Done!!! Great achievement

You look so much younger, you have done an amazing job. Well done. What are you doing? Cardio/heavy lifting, macros??

Well done on your amazing loss. It is a great achievment and you should be so proud. Your other half will notice (after the initial shock of seeing you!). keep up the brilliant work.

Hairy Dieters: How to Love Food and Lose Weight Brilliant book, fab receipies and all calorie counted :) Amazon do a good range of second hand copies.

Went to IKEA last week and had the smoked salmon salad. I thought maybe 250 MAX.......... 340 excluding the side salad I had to buy with it to make the porton half way norma!!!! Should have gone for the meatballs!!

I havent had them n a while, but I had no idea they were that bad. Back in the day,I could have had a full basket of them and thought they were the 'good' option - ahhhhhhhh, bliss!!!!

Amazing work - such a transformation

What a difference - well done to you

I never did, but I really needed the extra calories yesterday. With the cleaning time i spent cleaning, I hadn't got the time to go to the gym. I cleaned for about 4 hours and logged three. I counted it as ight. I would have just sat infront of the tv otherwise, so I don't see it as really cheating to be honest. I was…

I'm in Ireland but I'm 30, so I don't know if that counts!!! I log every day and have my diary open feel free to add me :)

I log on every day and have my diary open - feel free to add me - I will do my best to support you and hope for the same!!

Well done - those situation make me rave alohol and Chinese taake-out!! The whole f*k it - whats the point is benggood when I feel like this.......... That you stayed strong, shows great will power - keep it up.

You look 20 years younger, never mind 10!! Great work - you look amazing.

I changed my desired weekly weight loss to 1lb a week and it increased my calories (im 5'5'' and about 15/18lbs to go). I have lost more than 1lb a week, so i'm happy with the progress. I often find that i'm stuffed at 1200 cals a day - I think its years of 'dieting'!! I add high protein foods and good fats (peanut…

Cogratulations - I'm nearly there myself.... well done

I was very like you before I started. I drank NO water what-so-ever. I didn't drink tea, juice, coffee - anything. The only thing I drank was diet 7-up (sprite) and maybe half a bottle a day so I totally understand where you're coming from. I now keep a 500 ml bottle on my desk in work and try to get it filled at least…

Only problem - next week will be really tough trying to maintain the false loss while still loosing more weight ;)

Congrats on being first - great motivation!! I know when I drink, I tend to be a good 2 lbs lower then what I actually am the following morning. This is due to dehydration. I am then about 2 lbs higher then I actually am the following day due to water retention after the alcohol. It takes a couple of days for me to average…

This will give you all you need to know - its brilliant. I hope Pu_239 is ok with me sharing!! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/943139-weight-loss-cheat-sheet-ipoarm Good luck with your journey :)

bump for those trouble days when all I have is 100 calories left - (or I'm starving and need to run up and down the stairs to get those 100 calories), great idea to have as stand-by

70lbs in 3 months??? Wow - how???

bump - 'm in the same boat as you. Would really love to see all the opinions.

Purplesaurus - 19?

JesuisPreest - 28?

I was also a pro points lover. To be fair to the plan, I lost in excess of 28lbs. I found it brilliant for over a year. Then I went off track for about 6 months and put on a bit. I went back, but couldn't loose anything at all. I came on here and have lost 5.5lbs in the last few weeks. I am so much more aware of what I am…

What a difference a few weeks makes - wow! :flowerforyou:

Thanks guys. Im aiming for TDEE - 20%. Im usually slightly under each day except 1 at the weekend (WINE!!!) so it evens itself out over the week. Im alo eating most of my exercise calories back, but due to study at the moment, I ain't doing much on that front. If I want something to eat and I don't have the calories, I…

Are you eating back you exercise calories? 1200 would be the lower end of the calories you need to functon. If you are doing intense exercise, you need a higher amount (in my opinion). What height are you? Might be helpful to open your diary so people can have a look for you. Regarding the weigh-in, I would avoid the scale…
