A lot of the foods they had to try and bulk up like bread etc. They only had limited amount of butter, cheese etc and everything else. They were encouraged to try and grow their own veg, to at least make the family feel fuller. People were a lot more active then, than they are now. I know my grandma said here in the uk,…

I try and stick to my calorie goal, but some days I get really hungry. On days like that, I will try and do some exercise which adds up to the same amount of food. On others I might just let myself go over. I often get a sweet tooth as well, I try not to have anything, but if I really crave it, I go and have some low…

have you been measuring and counting the calories? Maybe although your eating healthy food choices, your portions might be too much which would cause no weight loss.

wow she was only asking a question. I would personally go and talk to your doctor about it. Taking the pill can affect your period anyway making you spot between periods, even miss them all together. I would see your doctor so you know the result is accurate.

mine are 17 inches. although I think genetics play a part as well, as both my mum and sister are slim but have big calves for their size. They sometimes get trouble fitting into boots etc.

wow great work :)

Yes its working for me. I try and have some treats now and again as it helps me stay on track, but they are still within my calories for the day. If I am really hungry one day, I try and exercise more to compensate. Start weight: 210 lbs Current weight: 173 lbs

Hi, I live in England and Turkey. I'm currently in England though and live in somerset so not far away :)

just had a look, and wow your doing great hun, the dress looks lovely on you. You can definitively see you've lost weight. It seems you've lost it in all the right places as well :)

I currently weigh 12 stone 5 pounds, about 173lbs. My calves: 17 inches. Thighs : 27 inches. The women in my family tend to have bigger thighs and calves, even when slim so I think genetics play a part also.

I was so hungry yesterday, I just couldn't get full. Not the best time of the month, so there is a reason but I hate to go over. I did some extra exercise, ate back those calories. I ended up being 28 calories over but considering how hungry I was, that was good going, as I could have eaten an extra 800 or so. I did drink…

I live in England and also Turkey, I'm currently in England.

I count green tea, as green tea. When I drink it, it makes me thirsty for water so I drink more water as a result anyway.

If you go to your dr, you should be able to ask for a general check up. Just say you are trying to have a healthy lifestyle so want to make sure how your doing. I know my dad went to his normal GP just asking for a general check up and they did a blood sample, blood pressure reading weight etc. I think they might have…

I don't go to the gym either, all my weight from my ticker, is what I have done through diet and exercise at home and outdoors.

wow you look like a different women. very inspiring, congratulations :)

Yes you can, although you might feel more full eating something else. I have found if I really crave something, I should just have some of it, otherwise depriving yourself can lead to indulging at a later stage. So if its within my calories I can have it, or exercise more to make up for it, then yes I do have some treats.

mine was 32.9 (obese), although It would have been higher than that but I lost some weight before I stepped on the scale. Now its 27.41 ( overweight) so gradually getting there :)

hellooooo I'm another one :)

Before, I always used to look older for my age. Now im losing weight people ask me how old I am, and when I say im 25 they really cant believe it, They thought I was about 18 maximum 20. I live in the uk, and I seem to get asked a lot for ID now when buying alcohol, I was never really asked before.

They did do this on a show here in the uk. I think it was on super size vs super skinny, a female presenter did one diet each week, also different treatments. Such as the maple syrup diet, only eating apples, eating baby food diet etc etc. She never loosed a great amount, I believe she was also feeling grumpy a lot, tired…

wow, 4 stones great you can really see the difference :) I bet you're so chuffed x

great job :)

wow well done you :)

English, I can get by in Turkish, and I know some Norwegian and basics in other languages.
