yep all good stuff here

Lori McKenna ...make every word hurt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwAhESotRz4

just to add... lots of measurements and lots of photos for when the scales are telling porkies good luck and ... don't let it scare you :P

Yeah haven't banned anything, merely reduced the amounts that I can have

Much like a person going thru a breakup .. pretty soon your friends are tired of hearing about it and you are left to fend for yourself. There will come a time where you will be left to your own devices and have nobody to rely on use the people here to be your sounding boards... we're here because we have a lot in common…

I found quest bars on amazon in the uk. Am pretty sure if they do it, others will I get my powder from myprotein and they do all sorts of other stuff too

when you are up to your neck in shi* .. keep your mouth shut

in for recipes for later

8 weeks.... great progress...

weekly on a monday morning, keeps me in check over the weekend :P

mfp helps , you will do the work though :)

heavy weights...? If not then that is what I would do If they are already heavy , wait for an expert to turn up :P good luck

Would have been a nice post without the clean.... Never mind..

If you haven't already.. as has been mentioned... measurements are essential. It could be, as happens to many of us , the weight doesn't just fall off the areas we want it to. patience is needed though , hang in there

yep it definitely counts counts ... been in the news a fair bit recently , much like the 5 a day

heart rate monitor ... useful for steady state cardio

8 days in the alps , by train with rail card to travel anywhere for those 8 days that was for giving up smoking for a year... 3 months to go weight is under control , fat is being replaced slowly but surely rewards are a great way to help motivate .. some will need more help than others

you're burning calories doing anything... breathing .. lying their dreaming about chips... however I would not be putting calories burned using weights .. or standing up.... or sitting down or stretching doing yoga I would for cardio, but I would half whatever you or your HRM says you are burning. Net calories burned are…

great stuff.... good for you and all those who need the motivation too

Did you take other measurements, these imho are essential when I started extra exercise , the body took a while to get used to it and took on extra water to repair the muscles that hadn't been used for a while stick with it but it seems that any time you change up a routine, the body seems to play a few tricks on us…

From what I have read , it's perfectly normal. Many people seem to undershoot the weight they aim for, knowing they will add a little back on as the body adapts to the new situations So , I think any changes you make , extra exercise, less or more calories... will all cause a little extra weight to appear but it's unlikely…

My sister ( same ages as us ) has turned into one of these too ... me being the uncle who gets them all into trouble had to explain their little bit of sun burn :/

I am only confused by coffee... when I don't get a couple of cups first thing in the morning.. with sugar... and proper milk... my only vice

Super job..keep it up

yeah ,I'd agree... give it a real go , get out of your comfort zone. Most advice handed out here would be been exactly the same good luck

As somebody who was in a large age gap relationship for a year, it only truly matters what you and the other half really think. However you will both be judged by all and sundry and how you react to other peoples views etc will help or hinder Everybody will have an opinion but as others have pointed out it's your life and…

great job

Weigh yourself less , watch the trend .. adjust consumption / add extra exercise if you notice the trend change direction. weekly weigh ins seem to work for me but loads of us understand the frustration from short term fluctuations
