Thanks that's helpful. I'll try to eat more in the day instead of at night. Yeah it kinda sucks, if I'm honest I'd be happy at 135, but I get why it needs to be done.

I'm losing it to go to racing school. I want to be able to apply for an interview at the latest of january but will also need to get more racing experience before then.

Actually its 750 calories. You do notice I said it was before dinner didn’t you?

7lb in a month is SOOO good! Its fact that the weight loss will slow down as you get slimmer. There is nothing you can really do its just how things work. I started losing 2lb a week. I’m now losing 1 but I went through a period of time when I didn’t lose anything for 6 weeks. When you stop losing I say have a 2 week brake…

Yep I’m from the UK and have 12lb to got (out of 44) I’m also losing for my job because I want to ride racehorses and you have to be skinny and VERY fit to do this. Good luck with your goal I’ll send a request.

for dinner

Porridge is SO good. It’s really nice with honey (plus it’s a natural sweetener) and fills you up so well. I weigh it at about 30g then make it with mainly water and a little bit of skimmed milk. Plus some honey 5/10g of honey. This works out at about 145 calories. I by packs that say 150 calories (dry) they sometimes say…

God no (and you are losing really fast) a few weeks ago I ate 2 not 1 but 2 chip shop meals which included a cheese donna meat and tomato toasted beget 2 helpings of chips, a battered cod and a whole (small) pizza. I lost a lb that week (just so you know I’m female and only 21% body fat with 12lb to go so 1lb after 6 weeks…

I don’t have a problem with guys looking at me (some women might) I actually am quite flattered when I guy obviously likes how I look. I look at guys I find attractive and I’m no hypocrite. However when you get the shouting in the street and gazing at nothing but your boobs and legs its really uncomfortable. I’m sick of…

Compactly depends on the person, your metabolism, how big you are already. I was 12 stone (172lb to be specific) when I started and I lost 18lb in about 10 weeks. However it is taking me longer now. I started losing end of may 2013, dieted until 12th august (I had to have knee surgery and couldn’t diet during the start of…

Everyone loses weight for different reasons. Some for health, some to make them look sexy, some for confidence. Even if society is making us think that skinny is pretty, and that may be wrong, but it does give people more confidence. At first I wanted to lose weight for my health/I wanted to look better. I went from 172 to…

Good for you, my mums doing the same and she’s only a few years younger than you. What I’ve done is make a meal plan chart. I have a 2 week chart of what meal I will eat on each day, so its not too restrictive I put about 3 meal option (all about the dame calorie) and choose which one I’ll have for this day, that means I…

Don’t worry, I’m pretty stressed atm and I had a binge day (like chips, pizza, baguettes, chocolate binge, so pretty bad. I don’t make a habit of it) I had about 2800 calories that day. Next day felt really guilty and ended up eating only 600 cals the (not sure if that’s a recommendation or not but oh well) anyway, checked…

I strongly suggest swimming. Really works, maybe 3 times a week? It works your body and tones really affectively depending on what stroke you do you can tone different muscles. Plus doesn’t put as much strain on your body so you’re less likely to have an injury and you can last longer. I don’t get why more don’t do it. It…

Thank You! I weigh my food/count very carefully. i'm not always on the food diary as i dont have the app and cant get on my laptop for it everyday. I only really eat 1200 or less (i know i shouldn't eat less but sometimes i just cant help myself) sometimes 1300. Although yesterday i had a very guilty binge but i haven't…

Its not exactly 1100 I base it on a week. E.g. 1200 one day 1050 the next 1300 the next, it means my body doesn’t adjust to the intake and I stop losing. I see what you mean tho (and yes it alarms me too, I know what I eat is healthy but I still cant get it out of my head) Looking into what you said I may look and see what…

Once a day or once every two days when I wake up, I always do it with noting on and then with clothes on to see the difference. I do it regularly to see how much my weight fluctuates throughout the day, week or month. However I only log my weight once a week on a Monday morning, this way I can see if I’m actually losing or…

Okay well when i say eat what i want i mean maintenance, 2000 is A LOT for me. 4000 would be completely insane, i dont know what you can eat in a day to have 4000 calories.

When i say eat what i want i mean just stay at my maintenance, because its christmas. also if you had bothered to count the period between Christmas and new years day, you would realize that this enormous period of time is in fact a total of 6 days. Hardly a long time. And by the time I'm at 126 it wont be a problem…

It can be really hard to 'get in the zone' i tried for almost 2 years before i actually stuck at it and lost something. oddly enough i lost my first pound unintentionally. i was away with friends for my bday and even tho i drank about 100 cocktails and ate a lot because i moved around so much i lost weight. just that 1lb…
