Just seen the . Before the 5 thanks ! :)

Thanks im eating around 1380 a day sometimes in defecit with excersise though

Amazing loss ! I would like to know this too if I shld change my weight loss goal p/wk ?? Still at 2lb a wk. And eat accordingly?

Wahmx3 im assuming u mean 5oz a wk as no way can I achieve 5lbs a wk lol ...:)

Maybe it's water retention from your new weight lifting routine [/quote] Maybe ... also im so much hungrier so thats making it hard ! :/

Im now 165.5lbs 175cm tall haven't really done any tracking of inches etc or body fat. My aim is 150-155 depending on how happy I am with my body.. ive been losing around 3lb a week with a goal of 2lb a wk . Started weights in the last month n a bit to tone up more. Actually finding this harder now than when I first…

I no but was curious to see how many I would eat lol too much hassle by the sounds of it

I no but there doesnt seem to be any entries that you can do it by weight! Its a pain in the butt! How do I post pics on here so can copy diary over ... so you can see ? Kung po chicken 1 portion 452 cals Chicken chow mein 1 cointainer 515 cals And no alternatives listed in mfp foods ....

Ive been sticking to around 1200 cals but todays will be 1500 odd so not drastic but over normal! :) looking forward to it now !

Let us no how you do ! :)

Starting weight was 226... plus a few pounds didn't start using mfp until few weeks into weight loss . Joined mfp at around 213lbs so v pleased determined to shift this weight n be fit by September. :)

Lol... well I wont be giving up anytime soon! :)

Avonbell need a uk version of these!

Omg thank goodness its not just out scales ! Was beginning to get severely p***d off! :) average n tape great ideas!

Before I had my boys and we had lots of time I used to love doing weights stiff leg deadlifts weighted squats etc loved the shape it gave me now we have no time no space for gym equipmnt and no money for gym membership. We have some free weights but where ive been outta shape for 3yrs nearly just doing squats n excercise…

hubby is watching my form making sure I do it right! :) altho I find it hard to let him watch me I get really self conscious ...! Needs must tho!

definitely keeping up a good healthy diet just worried about being left with my baby sack once lost fat .. so looks like planking n core exercise is the way to go.

Another question.. obviously im monitoring my cals weighing all my food etc but are people saying its a bad idea to do sit ups whilst losing body fay. My theory is if I do both then as the fat goes will be replaced by muscle so no saggy skin in the stomach region?

Wahooo definitely was the broken scales! Just got my new ones n have lost a 1.8lbs :) thank you for all your advice!

Thanks might have worked out the issue the foot on the scales where all the electrics are has come loose ... so im blaming that lol... be buying new scales today! Did start planking too not got much experience with core exercises like that tho will get googling

Let it go ! From frozen followed by les miserables.. love an afternoon sing!

this is confusing lol but I get it eat whenever but obviously controlled calories ... :) thanks everyone

Try to have all my carbs early normally but today everything went pear shaped and have jusr eaten dinner now. 7pm Wont go to bed till about 9 30 ish so might do a bit extra cardio :) as feeling guilty but glad its a myth tho !

Thanks! :) gonna up my cardio to twice a day as only get time to do half hr at a time so could do with burning more :):happy:

Thank you for all ur replies. Peanut butter is s no no for me as it upsets my stomach. But all the other suggestions will help :) ,definitely don't want to be losing my hair:)

Im having a protien shake in the morning with a banana lunch is usually rice cakes and fish / meat dinner is meat/ fish and veg or salad with slow releasing carbs . Im pretty sure I dont have any mental issues lol but will keep an eye on it. Just trying to not eat fatty high sodium wheat or dairy... :/ intolerant to dairy…

Im 28 this yr so I figured im close enough my starting weight was 226 but I didn't start using my fitness right off. Started eating healthy and wheat n dairy free 5.5 wks ago now and am down to 207lbs ... determined to be fit by the end of the year sick of being a jelly belly with no self esteem..:)
