This is what works for me. Use the same scale, the same day of every week and roughly under the same conditions (sounds like an experiment, I know). My same conditions I mean: on an empty stomach? n a full stomach, BM? No BM? Hope this helps :-)

Sure, I'll send and invite x

We are identical! :-) sending you a friend's request :-).

Very similar stats! If you ignore the fact that I'm 1/2 inch shorter :-).

We're close. I'll add you :-)

Oh, one other thing... drink plenty of water this good for general health and weight loss. I drink more that two litres per day. Unfortunately, aspects of nutrition is not a exact science so Id never claim to have the last word. I have heard that potassium helps with belly fat; I'm not sure how scientific this is. Bananas…

I'm trying harder with my vitamins these days - I stocked up yesterday actually. At the moment I aim for just a good multivitamins to help fill the gap in my diet.

I'm 5ft 1/2". At my heaviest I was around 230lbs. I'm currently 151 lbs hoping to get to 120 :-(. A girl can dream, right? lol. Feel free to add me.

That's brilliant! It's always great to hear about successes.

Fantastic thread! It's nice having UK friends... easier to pinch meal ideas ;-) as items can usually be purchased locally. I'm in Yorkshire and I've just started having friends on here so would really like it if you add me!

Sure! I've sent you a request.

Silly me... I had a mango today and freaked out at the amount of calories. I watched it, weighed it and got 490 grams, then peeled, sliced and of course discarded the pit. I had bit more wiggle room calorie wise than I thought I had!

I'm in the same boat as you. I have been going it alone but would welcome a few friends to make the journey lighter :-).

Runkeeper! Thanks for that - will check it out :smile:

Hello! Thanks for the challenge. Just what I need. I'm in!
