Not all fat people are unhealthy (have you not seen Russias 'big ballet'?) and if people are unhealthy...why does it matter? Many people enjoy being fat. If it is not your body, why should you care anyway? Their body - healthy or not, fat or slim or able bodied or not or redhead, brunette or blonde has NO bearing on YOU.…

You are all so lovely and I wish I could give you all a massive hug! I think my insecurities are just deeply embedded from being overweight pretty much such infancy but I'll get there in the end! And it's taken me a little over a year with a 4 month plateau I'm coming out of! Thank you all again <3

You look amazing! And that bikini is wonderful! <3

Leg Press: 220lbs Lat Pulldowns: 77lbs Standing Bicep Cable Curl: 35lbs Chest Press: 45lbs Shoulder Press (Dumbbells): 15lbs Bicep Curls (Dumbbells): 22lbs Low Row: 110lbs Think that's it! My gym doesn't have barbells or smith machines, not amused.

Thank you all for your suggestions, but I'm still stumped with the conflicting advice. in terms of exercise, I run 3-4 miles 5/6 days a week and strength train with 5kg dumbells 3x a week. I calculated the following on fattofit: BMR: 1490 TDEE: 2223 The thing is, if I'm gaining on a net of 1300-1400, surely logic tells me…

I say go to your doctor, you have nothing to lose by doing it. But the pain in your left leg sounds like shin splints. Have you been trying to increase your mileage too quickly/been running too fast?

You are over your sodium and carbs every day, so you'll be retaining water weight. So long as you keep up your water intake, it should drop off!

5'8 and 20.5, down from 25. Still don't like them :(

Thank you all guys. These forums are so very supportive and after a good rest I do feel a little brighter. As I said, I've been trying to raise my calories and if you look at my profile, you'll see that I suffer from EDNos. I'm trying and this is why I've been struggling so much.

Lost 70lbs went from a 36E to a ruined set of 32C's.

Bath, Somerset!

Thank you so much for this, and all of you for your input. I think I'm going to increase 200 calories a week, slowly and gradually to maintenance level so I'm not feeling as uncomfortable as I am now (the bloating that has come with upping 300-400 calories a day has been making me feel awful) and I'm going to try as hard…

Thank you for the responses guys! I'm just frustrated. I don't have access to nutritionists/doctors etc to ask about this, no. Does anybody have any guesses about how long before this weight comes back off? Any personal experiences?

I've read that article but it doesn't really seem relevant to my issue! PLEASE help guys?

70lbs and went from a 36E to a 32C, not that you can really call them boobs anymore...droopy as hell.

bump!

I've opened up my diary for people to see because this morning I woke up and have apparently GAINED 1.6lbs. I am so frustrated. I've been the same weight for 2 months now and need some help, PLEASE?? In terms of exercise I run 2-3 miles 5/6 days a week and do strength 3 times a week. I know eating more will help me lose…

Just finished Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. It is now my second favorite book (after Nineteen Eighty-Four) but be warned, it'll depress you like nothing else. Besides that, it is absolutely astonishing.

I'm 5'8 and currently 132 (having come from around 220) and am looking at 125.

I eat Porridge (so oats with milk rather than water) and I used to have a tsp of cinnamon, brown sugar and raisins every day but am trying to wean myself of so now it's only a treat! I now have blackberries and cinnamon.

I'm 5'8 for the person that asked and thank you guys but I am not stretch mark/lose skin free AT ALL! The first picture was taken on a portable camera, the second on a webcam. Quality difference and the fact that my stretchmarks have faded means that you can't see them that clearly but here you go ladies, proof that they…

Start weight, before MFP somewhere around 220. Current Weight 132, aiming for 125!

5'8 133 4-6 Goal: 125, and a solid 4?

Anybody?

I have my hair about to my chin with bangs so I take a hairtye to tie up as much as I can then I use bobby pins to get the rest! Those 'non-slip headbands' don't work for me.

Ah, I'm 18...but from the UK and 5'8, SW: 220+, CW: 133, GW: 125

I think they're all attractive. Body-shaming on the other hand, isn't.

I'm a size 4-6 and could never fathom wearing a bikini due to confidence issues. I think everybody, size 40+ should wear a bikini if that's what they want to do and they feel good about themselves in it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with somebody having confidence in themselves and wearing an outfit with pride, is…

40g of porridge oats, a splash of skim milk to cover them up (about 150ml) when it's cooked add 1/2 a tsp of brown sugar, a handful of raisins and 1/2 a teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Absolutely delicious!
