June 13th 2015 for me. I bought my dress in March this year - it's a UK 14 but was a good 6 inches or so from fitting. It was the first and only dress I tried on! It was super cheap as it's been discontinued for years so I decided I had to get it! I probably still need to lose another 4 inches to fit it but I have a year…

Been there, done that, ended up in hospital with an eating disorder. That was 9 years ago and I have yo-yoed from one extreme to the other and the net result was i ended up putting on over 100lb. I can't stress enough that you have to take it easy on your body or it will fight back. Mild overtraining will make you tired…

I would disagree with increasing your exercise. I was going to suggest perhaps just taking a diet break for a week, eat at TDEE and stay away from the gym - when you push your body too hard (i.e. too much exercise for too few calories) it gets stressed and the cortisol will really not help your weightloss. If you give it a…

My trigger reason was work. I travel a lot for work and could only just do the seatbelt up on the planes. And I couldn't find anything to fit me in terms of office clothing. However there were so many things that all just built up at about the same time: 1) Money - I couldn't afford more fat clothes, or all the binges that…

I lost 6lb in my first 4 days (I'm 5"10 and started at 252lb) and it was all water weight so don't worry about that. I was once 140lb (and skinny fat) and I got a lot of comments about being too thin so I think 130lb is a bad idea for you. I'm trying to aim for a size rather than a weight now as I want to have muscles and…

From Xmas eve until New Year's day, I went over my target calories by a total of 11,000!! I hate breaking my routine and so going to stay with family for 10 days was a killer and I lost the plot a bit! I was still running every day for the first week but even that went out the window. However, somehow, I've not put on any…

Hi, I'm Sarah, I got about halfway through December's challenge. Really need this challenge for January as Christmas has been awash with food! Can't wait to get home and get back to normal. I've now got a HRM to help persuade me to get moving a little bit more and I'm ready to hit this!!! 2014 is going to be my year!

Congrats to you all! I'm also newly engaged (this week!) and thinking about June 2015 (but only if we can magically find some money!). I've got 87lb to lose before then and feeling pretty tired just thinking about it!! Would be nice to have some friends with a common theme!

As for the 17th, I'm out :( No time to exercise today, not even cleaning. I'll be back in January!

In terms of what to eat, my meals usually look like this: Breakfast: Slice of toast with peanut butter (I'm never hungry first thing so my breakfast is quite small) Mid-morning: Protein bar Lunch: Wholemeal pitta bread with about 100g turkey and some salsa, apple and orange Afternoon: About 20 pistachios, maybe a couple of…

Dec. 13th Did I exercise for 20+ minutes? Yes Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes - I don't normally feel hungry enough to eat back my exercise cals but I think my recent lethargy is from under-eating so I made sure to eat some back today. I think I will from now on (particularly on spinning days!). Did I…

I used to binge constantly. And I mean tens of thousands of calories almost every day. There were several things that I started doing that helped me to control it: 1) I reduced the amount of sugar that I ate. I once tried a low carb diet and within a week, I didn't crave food at all. It was like a miracle for someone who…
