I'm 5'9" and my goal is around 145-150lbs. A trainer told me 68kg should be my goal weight. But I'm hovering around 168 - 170lbs right now, and I feel a lot better about how I look overall. I'd like to lose my squishier parts, but I no longer feel like a blob. I have a pretty big frame too, so it's all relative. Feel free…

Maybe not. I've had those kind of days as well - and by days I mean I'm eating 1200 normally, then spend 4 days at my mother in-law's eating nothing but real Egyptian food (lots of butter and carbs!) and lying around. When I came back, I hadn't gained anything. Couldn't explain it - just happened. And now the reverse -…

Congratulations on your success! Be proud of yourself and buy yourself something nice!! :smiley:

I'm in my last week of Alpha round right now. This program kicks my *kitten* (and I missed 2 days this week - the first I've missed since starting!). I'm so excited to start Beta next week, that I'm doubling down today and tomorrow to catch up. I just finished today's double session. :smile:

So true about us tall girls with lerge frames - we can lose a bunch and no one (especially not us) seems to notice! I remember one night feeling super down about myself because I wasn't getting to my goals fast enough for me. My husband went in the kitchen, threw 2 1.5litre bottles of water in a bag and handed it to me. He…

@iwearthejumper32 I'm the same way/ 175 cm and I've lost 20 lbs since January. Some people say they notice it in my face, but that's about it. I'm still wearing the same clothes and I can't see a lot of difference in the mirror. It can get so discouraging sometimes...

Amazing! Your waistline is totally enviable, and you got to keep "the girls"! You look beautiful, happy and healthy! Congratulations!

I'm also on week 4. I didn't see much movement on the scale until this week (1.5 kg) but I definitely feel stronger. I've been doing fewer modifiers as I've gone along. I also haven't been following the diet (I use MFP to keep track of my intake) but I feel good about the program overall!

On the steps of a church we were both skipping out of. He was much older. And a drug dealer. It was true love.

Feel free to add me too Kelly. I can always use more support and motivation!

I'm just getting to the end of c2 5K. It's great! I'm doing the colour run at the end of this month as my first real race, then a few fun runs while I start working towards a 10k. It's all treadmill for me at this point though - not because the weather is bad, but I like having my water and towel right there for me. I…

You are seriously one of my favourite people. I laughed out loud at this. And most of these responses actually. Thanks to everyone for their feedback. My logical mind of course didn't believe it, but my irrational side was fighting me. Your input has been very helpful. So was a nice, long run. I've decided not to let the…

Same, vodka sodas. I get into trouble when I'm the one pouring them though... :wink:

Wow! You look absolutely beautiful! And it sounds like you made the changes for the "right" reasons. You look happy, healthy and amazing. Congratulations - you are an inspiration!

I'm also restarting... bad habits got the best of me. I'm almost a month back in now and always looking for new friends and additional support. Add me :smile:

I just did my 20 minute run this week! Congratulations! C25K is awesome - I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to go from super unfit to running. To the smoking thing, I was a smoker up until 3 weeks ago. I bought an e-cigarette I use (0% nicotine) whenever I have a craving, but I've more or less stopped all…

Gotta love the KD! I don't know if anyone has suggested this, but there's a recipe for a "Mac and Cheese in a Mug". Whenever I'm craving Mac and Cheese, I make this instead. It MAKES me cut back, since there's only one portion, and uses real cheese instead of processed stuff (though, lets be honest, that's why we love KD…

I didn't read the other responses, so if someone has already suggested this, then I apologize. My husband and I were both regular smokers. Up until 2 weeks ago. We have not had a cigarette since. E-cigarettes. I know there's a stigma towards them, but believe me, I've done the research. A lot of the fears towards them are…

Well, it's just that here, not eating is considered rude, especially since my mother-in-law works really hard on making all of this food. It doesn't help that she's Egypt's best cook! I usually just try to eat a bite of two of everything, and fill up on tabbuleh. :) Skipping the evening is not an option, as we all live in…

This is a recipe I use for a "negative calorie" soup. 2.0 large (7-1/4" to 8-1/2" long), Carrots - Raw 3.0 stalk 7-8 inches long, Celery Stalk 2.0 large, Turnips - Raw 0.5 large, Squash - Zucchini, includes skin, raw 0.75 head, large (about 7" dia), Cabbage - Raw 1.0 package (10 oz), Spinach - Raw 4.0 cube, Chicken Stock…

My husband and I played a little bit of this in Lebanon and Cairo. Now that we're in Dubai, I'd love to try it again (once the weather cools down - walking outside isn't possible these days!)

Interesting. I've been having the same issue. I haven't been cutting my calories quite as drastically, but I know what you mean about the weight gain after starting to train. It's super hard - you make up, you feel good (a little sore, but still), you know you're making better choices for yourself and working hard. Then…
-
I agree. I on first look what I see is a cross between 14 and 5. You look great!
