Best of luck. Keep counting your calories accurately, and, if you stall, look at upping slightly and see how that goes. I work out 3 days a week if I can, enjoy my rest days and am currently at 1800 so similar to you. The weight is falling off slowly but I too am now receiving compliments as to how I look. When I take a…

What a transformation and you look great and much younger than your actual age. A great inspiration for the rest of us!

This!

Hee hee! Obviously drinking Diet Coke increased my irony factor today..... Love the exploding head image. Now, must post results of my diet coke in stomach plus sirloin steak experiment once I get back from the gym, and then post it over Facebook ;-)

MMMMM! Sorry OP but Avocado and Bacon are two of my favourites. Love both.....

Ps. Only lost 20 pounds over a year but down two dress sizes...

Add me if you like! Currently at 1800 daily and working for me albeit slowly!

I am drinking a dirt coke right now. Planning to have a sirloin steak tonight after my exercise session. Does this mean that the protein in the steak will dissolve before my body can benefit from it???!!

Yeah baby! You look fantastic and the dress really suits you..

Your calories do look very low although I can see from your diary that you are trying to get the protein in. With only 15 pounds to lose what setting would Mfp give for setting to lose 0.5 a week? I suspect it might be like 1400-1500 allowance. Ok, with that setting you would have to wait longer to get to your target goal…

Mahi mahi and trigger fish are my favourites when on holiday!

Yup, except not his best friend!!

ABsolutely this! You have to be doing it for yourself..........

Did somebody mention BACON! yum yum!

Personally I find this all very confusing. I do notice that, in spite of fitting into my cals, I tend to put on weight or break even on weeks when I have alcohol. I do need to cut it down at weekends!!

Sea bass Sea trout Bream Salmon I use a steamer and put the fish on lettuce. That way it does not stick. Sometimes I add soy and ginger but watch salt! Steam for 5 minutes or less. I often use a layered steamer and do potatoes first and then the fish on top for the last 5 minutes. Works a treat and energy efficient too..

I wish Mfp would give and end of week estimate rather than daily.

I agree about setting smaller targets. I am doing this in 10 pound stages. 20 pounds down over a year which is slow, but at least in the right direction! The other day I got a bit depressed when I looked in the mirror and saw how much I still had to go, particularly around the stomach. I stopped dieting for a few days and…

This! Exactly what I did. I started on the machines but felt they were restricting movement and moved to free weights. Booked 3 sessions with a lady trainer over a period of 6 weeks. Started at around 5-6 Kg with dumbells and now up to 9-10Kg. Barbell from 10KG to 20Kg. This is still not a lot compared to some of the women…

Hi Hexa.... I am doing the TDEE route with a cut too and strength train with some cardio 3x a week. I have put on some weight. - not much, about 2-3 pounds over 2 weeks. Drinking loads of water. So, thinking of cutting the 100 cals as you suggest. I presume that is per day not over a week so total cut is 700 cals over a…

PS, number 2 looks great with the waistline so, if you can go for it, maybe take in the waistline on number 4 to have a slightly more fitted look. Just a thought!

4 because it has a lower neckline and shows you off a bit... the ones with the higher neckline give a line across your boobs and make you look slightly heavier than you are imho of course. Re showing your arms, they look fab so definitely go for it. Dress 5 is also lovely so well done for keeping it. Have fun!

I can understand your worry. I started lifting seriously about 4 months ago. During that time the scales have only dropped about 5 pounds, but, I have dropped inches and a dress size. I have had a lot of compliments re how I look now and cant wait to start the next stage. If your concern is purely the scales than give up…

Peggy that is great!

BUMP

Fr also sent. I need more friends who are losing weight by eating 1800 plus!

thank you, I will try upping slightly and see how I get on...

oh bother!

Hi!
