You're doing a great job, keep at it. Fabulous!

That is totally amazing! Well done you :)

Wow, the difference is fabulous! And your hair is awesome :)

I would say you should change your setting from sedentary if you are on your feet all day. Also, I know it may be difficult when you are working shifts, but you need to try and not skip lunch - spreading the calories fairly evenly throughout the day is gonna help if you are ending up with loads left over. And that sodium…

Hi :) I would suggest trying to up your calories again. Check what your BMR is and eat more than that. The other way to do it is to set your goals to 0.5lbs a week. You've not got a lot to lose so I am afraid slow and steady is the way to go. 1450 sounds like a quite sensible number, as long as you are eating back your…

OMG, this is totally amazing! You must be so proud. Good luck with all your surgeries. :)

^^^this. Please read this :)

Absolutely amazing job! Well done. :)

Hey :) I just had a quick look at your diary, and the first thing I would suggest would be to start logging properly again, everything, even the 'bad' weekend stuff. Knowledge is power! And I don't think you've got a lot left to lose (great loss so far btw!) so I would be setting your weight loss goals to 0.5lbs a week so…

OMG, that is totally amazing! I hope you are uber proud :)

Hi :) IMO, a 'shake' diet is a terrible idea. Firstly, as you have already realised, you are not getting enough calories to fuel your body. Secondly, it is not sustainable and frankly, should not really be sustained! I appreciate you may only be planning on doing it for a long time, but these fad diet type things will only…

OMG, thats amazing! Well done. :)

Proper obvious differences, and proper fitness progress! Awesome job :)

Hey :) Good job at tackling this head on first of all. And secondly, don't beat yourself up. Its important to take time to change habits so that they stick. Everything in moderation. Don't starve yourself, that ain't gonna work in the long run, if you're hungry eat. Don't feel bad about eating, and try your best to eat…

Totally awesome! Well done!

Hi :) Firstly, kudos on hitting the exercise hard, good way to go about this. However, you need to be eating enough to fuel your body. I would suggest reading one of the many threads on tdee / bmr and have a look at the maths of it all. You burn a lot of calories a day just by 'being' (your BMR) and then you increase that…

Your pics are awesome, you should be so proud! Amazing job :)

Hi! Logging what you are currently eating may be the best place to start, so you know what you are dealing with. Knowledge and awareness is the key in terms of calories, and I'm a firm believer in everything in moderation! There's no point constantly denying yourself that ice cream, you'll just end up bingeing on it in a…

The 'top' of my range is currently 2 lbs over what my goal weight was, cause I was perfectly happy there! I've lost 8lbs since hitting my target though, so I may freak out a little earlier than that now! I'd say a 5lb range is pretty sensible.

Hi, I'm from the west coast of Scotland and love to have new buddies to support! Feel free to add me :)

^^ Gross but effective at explanation :)

hey folks, I love to be positive so feel free to add me if you need some PMA! :)

There's definitely a difference in your stomach and arms. Slow and steady wins the race!

Haha, woot :)

Hi! Congratulations on hitting your goals folks! I have been on maintenance calories (1680) since Christmas, although I have lost about 6-7 lbs since then. I do find that I rely on my exercise calories now a lot more than I used to so I can eat when I am particularly hungry, and I definitely make use of the weekly total on…

HI, I'm always open to new buddies :)

Gotta love a list! Buying a size Uk10 - I don't think this has ever happened before until this year! Having the confidence to buy new styles of clothes, and look pretty damn cool in them! Changing my hair and totally loving it. Actually enjoying exercise, this is awesome for me. Being mistaken for an actual different…

This is really what you should pay attention to. Scales are evil :)

Hey, i dunno if its the same for stationary bikes, but I bought a padded cover for my actual bike off Amazon, does wonders! And you're right, its all about doing MORE than nothing. Which is what you're doing! And you'll get stronger. :) Edit - Gel seat, that was the one!

wow, totally awesome job! You totally kicked your own butt!
