I would if I thought it would help, but can that trim the ribcage? I'd want my flab pushed downwards rather than over the top of the dress 🤣
-
Yes I guess you're right and I probably shouldn't risk it! Maybe I could just lower my carbs a bit rather than cutting them out! Thanks!
-
Thank you, but could it be both? I'm not sure I can cut out carbs as we'll be having a hard few days decorating the venue etc and existing on sandwiches!
-
No, definitely not happy m
-
Thank you all so much! I'm going to take a good read of these and get started!
-
Thank you all! It's partly because my dress just about fits but won't be comfortable, and partly because I want to like how my face looks in pictures (I lose weight from my face first). I definitely get your points, though!
-
A pound would be considered a normal fluctuation - don't sweat it!
-
Oh brilliant, thanks so much both of you - will check those out!
-
Thanks so much, but I think I'm looking for something easier and dancier!
-
It doesn't matter as long as your urine stays a pale colour. If it's bright or dark coloured you're dehydrated.
-
You'll need to plug your stats into this site and it'll tell you!
-
Wow! That's incredible! If you don't mind me asking, how much do you have to lose?
-
People vary quite a bit - some go several times a day, some 2-3 times a week. They're all normal. I've never been an every day girl!
-
I wouldn't worry at all - nothing to be concerned about in your first week. Just enjoy it! No need to ditch WW.
-
Thankyou - that's helpful!
-
Thanks both. Yes I agree that 400 is too many, but the first reply seems to suggest that 150 might be better :(
-
That's some incredible progress! Thank you for the motivation!!
-
This is not helpful at all! The OP was requesting recipes - probably low calorie - for her IP. This is a recipe board, and therefore is a completely reasonable request. Sorry OP - I don't have any recipes for you, but hopefully others will 😁
-
Thanks! Have subscribed now!
-
Could be a troll?
-
Ah right - thank you both!
-
Your calories seem absurdly low for your stats!! Can you just decrease your rate of loss and up them?
-
Thank you all so much! Lots of food for thought (ha!) there! X
-
Oh good idea, thanks!
-
Um, yes. Are you the kind of person who tells people who are depressed to just 'cheer up'? Just because you can do it, doesn't mean everyone else can.
-
Oh thanks - I'll check it out! Good stuff.
-
Yes I see your point. Definitely not unrealistic - right now my BMI is about 28/9, and calorie goal about 1800. Not much exercise except walking, and constant access to treats at work.
-
Thanks - no I hadn't heard of it - will check it out!
-
Yes, I agree, but I think I need motivation to become committed. I can't separate them. That's kind of like saying 'you're not motivated? Do it anyway!'
-
Thanks, but it did work the first time, enough to get almost to my goal weight and keep it off for a year! That's a good idea, thanks! My family has a bad heart history, and although I'm not overweight enough to really have to worry about that, it's maybe worth bearing in mind!
