Your net calories are the calories you've eaten minus the calories you've burned while exercising. If you eat 1200 and burn 400 then your net calories are 800.

My first week was pretty good, I lost about as much weight as I predicted I would and started some new exercises too. I've decided to be stricter about doing Yoga every day from now on, I've been lazy with it and it's such a simple thing to add to my exercise schedule since it's only 20 minutes of work :smile:

I make scrambled eggs in advance, usually 4 servings at the time and just keep it in the fridge. I put one serving on a slice of dark rye bread, heat for 30-60 seconds in the microwave, top with 2 slices of ham and half an avocado sprinkled with lemon juice. 300 kcal and takes 2 minutes to make when the eggs only need to…

I don't mind my stretch marks, I have them on my belly, lower back, underboobs, inner thighs and upper arms. The reason I don't mind them is that these are scars from something I've been struggling with my entire life, in a way they're like battle scars. When I reach my goal weight they will be proof of how much I've had…

They are super cute!

I'll post mine too then! I'm posting them through imgur as well since I'm not a fan of the huge photos in the forums. imgur.com/a/EzdWg These are actually progress pictures for me, about 14.5 lbs down from my SW but I took the pictures just a couple of days after the start of this challenge so they will be my before…

Hey! My name is Ylva and I'm a Purple Parrot. I'm 20F and my stats are 5'5" SW:228, CW:213, GW:130. I've been logging for about a month and now I'm also exercising daily, doing Yoga every day, C25K every other day and Zumba and Bodyweight exercises once a week each. I weigh in daily and use a weight graph to see my…

I drink mostly water and tea, the occasional soda and milk, and my skin has cleared up a lot. I feel hydrated and I get less cravings when I drink 8-15 cups of water a day and I have more energy.

Västerbotten, Sweden.

Low fat vanilla yogurt or fruit salad.

My diary is also open, I log every day :smile:

Hey! I'm 20 years old and I live in Sweden, and I have about 40kg to lose, from 103 to 60 and I'm down to 100 this week, I love having lots of friends so anyone is free to add me! :smiley:

Hey! I'm constantly online and checking my newsfeed, I post daily and I have an open diary. :smile:

I lost about 20 lbs my first time around before anyone noticed. Then I got comments from everyone at once.

Hi! I'm Ylva, I live in Sweden and I have about 90lbs to lose. Anyone can add me, I don't care if you're male or female, have 10 or 200 lbs to lose, or if you're 18 or 80 :)

I love avocados! I really like them mashed with a teaspoon of greek yogurt or creme fraiche per half avocado (or a bit of lemon juice) and a bit of salt, then spread on dark rye bread with some sliced ham. Yummy and filling :smiley:

You can add me too if you want :smiley:

Hey! I "only" have about 90 lbs to lose but if you want to add me feel free to! Anyone can add me :smile: I also live in Sweden.

I drink between 2 and 5 liters of water a day, depending on how thirsty I am and how often I'm craving food while I'm not actually hungry. I try to have a pint of water next to me whenever possible so I can sip on it during the day, and I have a cup of black tea after every meal since it works as an appetite suppressant…

Hey! You can add me too if you want. I'm just starting over, I lost 9kg / 20lbs last autumn but I had a rough time with depression during the winter so I gained it all back. Currently at roughly 103kg / 227lbs with a goal weight of 65kg / 143lbs. My diary is open (I also eat the same thing often, and some items are in…

5'5.5" and I eat about 1000-1200 calories a day depending on how hungry I am and what is served at work. Sometimes I eat my exercise calories back, sometimes I don't. Just depends on what kind of day I'm having.

Definitely common. My last TOM my weight was 97.3kg the day before it started, then it went 97.8, 97.9, 97.9, 97.6, 97.3 and then 96.9 on the last day with 96.2 the day after that, and I'm on the pill. Some women lose a few pounds during TOM, other women gain a few pounds. Just hormones messing with us as usual.

I'm 20 years old, and I've always been big. I'm trying to lose 35kg or 77 lbs. I've been going for just over a month and I've lost 6 kg or 13 lbs. SW 220 lbs / 100.5 kg. CW 207 lbs / 94 kg. GW 143 lbs / 65 kg.

Well for me I've had the occasional "free" day, maybe once a month, where I eat some kind of junk food and going way over my 1200 allowance, up to maybe 1800-2000. All it does is stop the scale moving for a couple of days. Even if you go a couple of hundred over 1200 you're still eating at a deficit so you won't gain…

I remove people who disappear for 30 days or more with no notice. It's not because I don't want to be friends with them but when I look through my friends list it's demotivating for me to see friends who seem to have given up, and it makes it more difficult for me to continue logging in every day myself.

Add me too if you like! You can never have too many friends on this site, I'm online every day and read everything that is posted :)

Anyone can add me too! I've just started again but I really want to lose weight and more friends would make it much easier. I'm currently at 220lbs with a goal weight of 140-145lbs. I'm 5'5" ish.
