Hi! I did the 5:2 between November and February and loved it! I lost a lot of weight whilst doing it and like someone else said, felt surprisingly energised! I then went on Holiday in February and could not get back into it HOWEVER, despite calorie counting since February I have lost very little weight since stopping the…

His 'very sensitive area' will heal. This ladies memories of verbal assault will stay with her forever. My ex boyfriend shouted verbal abuse at me in the middle of the street (granted, it wasn't about my weight) so I slapt him around the face and walked off. He DID go to the police, two weeks later. I was cautioned for…

I think you are beautiful.

The only way you can know if this is correct is if you eat the exact same foods every day for 5 weeks. When I read this back I realised how much of a douche I sounded - sorry!

I said to eat more based on the figures you gave in the original post.. not based on the figures in your diary.. The two appear to be quite different :)

I dont necassarily agree with this comment, I have lost 28lb's doing exactly the same as what i am doing now but I havent lost any weight in almost a month.. I eat a deficit almost everyday (and the days I go over even out by the end of the week..) my body has just adjusted to my new eating/exercise regime so I need to…

This ^ Your BMR is the amount of calories burned when you do NOTHING. So your body needs at least that number of calories to function properly. Yes, you may have lost a lot when you first started but you were 20lb's heavier then and your new way of eating/exercising was all new to your body. Try mixing up your exercise…

Oh my goodness - you must be the willpower Queen!

I do not log a single thing when I am on holiday - holidays for me are all about eating as much as I possibly can!! (and yes, I know - MFP is supposed to be about a 'lifestyle' change as opposed to a diet BUT that is a section of my lifestyle I am not willing to sacrifice!) I never gain too much when I am away anyway, just…

I would say going from running 3 miles to 7.5 miles is quite a success would you not?

I have two email addresses so used the second email - It is a bit annoying as you have to log in and out of each time so sometimes I post to the wrong account.. I only started @cheeriochubster last week as I thought people on my normal account would get fed up of seeing my MFP screenshots etc!

Hey :) I have two Instagrams - one for everyday stuff (@rachielous) and one for fitness and weight loss progress, follow me at @cheeriochubster, I will follow you back :) I always find it helps seeing other peoples progress!

This just made my LIFE!

The treadmills at the gym I use are lined up along a mirrored wall so when you are running you can watch yourself. When running a few days ago there were 2 scrawny lads (could not have been older than 15) there. As they were leaving one of them caught site of themselves in the mirror (just behind my treadmill) and started…

Hello - yes, this is normal. People generally 'lose' quite a lot in the frist week or so.. the liklihood is that this is water weight however a loss is a loss so well done you!

Please let me be your grandchild!

Oh my gosh that is so annoying right! It is ok if you are cooking for more than just yourself as you can weigh it after but if you are just making one portion how do you know how much to cook?!!? Such a bizar idea not to put the uncooked amount on the pack..

Look's like someone missed the joke....

I don't think you have quite understood the game.....

People do that?!?!?!

I started Week 6 yesterday - On week 1 day 1 I struggled with running 60 seconds so to have got this far is a huge achievement for me! I would strongly recommend this program to anyone, no matter how fit/unfit you are - it IS possible :)

Cross Trainer (I think that is the same as an Eliptical in America) burns quite a bit as does running and cycling - remember that the heavier you are the more calories you burn so someone who is say 250lb's and does 30 minutes of biking will burn far more than someone who is 150lb's doing 30 minutes of biking...

Oh gosh - that was a far more dramatic response than what I was expecting!! Thank you for your advice though however in England you have to be referred by your GP to see anyone remotely specialist (i.e. a Dermatologist) and I wouldn't get a referral for a few spots..

I usually go on my way home from work - unfortunatly my gym is only open from 5pm - 10pm on a weekday and 10am - 4pm at the weekend. Very annoying but it is conveniently located on my way home from work..

Somebody said this to me at work this morning when I told them I had lost 2 stone. I replied - 'I might look alright with my clothes on but YOU SHOULD SEE ME NAKED! - That is when I WANT to look good'. That bought silence to the room pretty quickly.

I look at a lot of these types of posts and they always make me say 'wow' but this one has taken the 'wow' factor to the extreme!!! Your look AMAZING.

BAHAHAHA!

Okay so I have now read your profile.. all becomes clear!

Intrigue is getting the better of me.... Care to expand?
