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!
