73lb in 8 months

Counting calories and lots of exercise. Most of all dedication and will power. I'm 1/2 way through my weight loss journey. 5 stone left to lose. Thank you everyone :)

Thank you everyone

I was diagnosed with T2 after i had gestational diabetes 4 years ago, i weighed 22 stone 8lb i plodded along taking loads of pills for diabetes and blood pressure for 3 years. Last september i started my weigh loss journey and today i have lost 60lb. I exercise 4 - 5x a week and eat healthy and as of last month my diabetes…

thank you

I'm Huddersfield also :)

Yes me and the OH are on MFP and we both joined the gym. We go together its our version to date night. Ha ha

I have around 100lb to lose. :)

With my weight (currently 266lbs) i'd drown drinking half my body weight...ooops lol

Its just a touch of dilute squash in, no added sugar of course i do track those calories

Really, every 4 weeks? I have just cancelled ww and they tell us to do it weekly! might try that saying that though, i'd end up sneak peaking ha ha

I just wondered really, just waned to reduce the chance of a gain, through it being water. When you say drink water not juice, does water with a splash of dilute it count? i can't drink just plain water (well i can but its vile lol)

Lol oops yeah :p Right i see, so i have to try to keep the %'s .....ah ok. Thank you

Mine is open, and would like to see what other people are eating, for meal ideas and for healthier food choices. :)

Ha ha the engagement has been a looooooooong one! :) I don't know how to add people :O

Hi my name is Claire I'm 34, mummy to 6, Joshua who is 17, Luci who is 15, Amy who is 12, Bethany who is 10, Jessica who was born sleeping in 05 and then Keeley who is 5. (my hands full, right? lol) I have been with my fiancé 20 years (yes you read that right ha ha) and recently decided the time was right to get married!.…

I'm 5ft 8'', 267lbs and 34 (female) i eat 1710 a day. i usually eat around that on non exercise days (usually 1 or 2 days a week) on exercise days i eat around 1850 to keep my body fuelled. Trying to make healthy choices also.

I need to lose 100+ its daunting but if i don't do it now i never will! i need to do this so i am. :)

I'm currently diabetic i take metformin and glimperide as well as blood pressure pills. This is why I'm losing weight and shaping up to be a ''controlled'' diabetic.

Thank you x

I take Metformin daily 4x a day, i take mine for diabetes. As for the side effects do you take the slow release ones? i was taking the normal ones and was really ill, my stomach was aching all day and bad #3's i asked for the slow release ones and have been fine since. I have lost 3 stone on the Metformin with no problems…

Omg what an awesome story! how long has it taken you to lose all the weight??? dedication or what!!!

Hi i'm claire, from huddersfield, in Yorkshire. You can add me if you want my diary is open. I am aiming to eat 2000 calories at present. My MFP calorie goal is 2100. I'm netting at around 1800 - 2000 with 200 300+ exercise 4x a week. Just starting out thou so i'm a MFP virgin lol and just trying the eat more calorie to…

Ok so now I'm confused, i'm reading different things about calories. I weigh 267lbs and MFP have given me 2100 calories a day at a 2lb a week loss. I'm 5ft 7''. i was told to eat my calorie goal for the day and sometimes ''could'' eat 1/2 my calories back i earn in exercise. But now i'm confused about wether i should aim…

Thank you for your reply. I will try and eat at least 2000 a day i aim to drink more water also. i am averaging 6 cups of diluted squash a day. Is 8 cups the recommended daily water intake?

So based on my daily calorie intake of 2140 i should eat 1140? even with my exercise or should i just ignore the exercise and concentrate on 1/2ing the daily intake? Thanks Not ignore it as in not doing it thou lol

Forgot to add my height 5ft 7''

I have just bought a polar ft4 for accurate calories burnt.
