I'm aiming for 160 and I am 5'8, currently 215lbs. I was 135lbs before I put on all my weight and I was very ribby and hippy and my butt hurt if I sat down for too long as there was no padding! So I think 160 is about right for me :)

I did well until 10 minutes ago then ate a whole Milkybar cow. At 385 cals I could have been more naughty though I guess, and it is Easter, so I'm relatively happy with the damage!

I went from big after having my daughter to a UK size 8, when I got a lot of 'Have you been ill\oh no is it cancer\wow how do you stand on those stick legs? To then getting bigger and getting 'wow you looked way better small\what a shame you got fat again\did you have to throw away all your nice clothes? Now I'm going back…

I do indeed, even if the packet or whatever has the weight on and I'm eating the whole pack, I use digi scales for everything except occasionally not for cucumber or lettuce or celery

I officially weigh in on Thursdays, but weigh every day morning and night so I can see the patterns in my weight fluctuations.

I've now set my cals to 1400 a day, 200 above what MFP set me to, and 270 below what my TDEE- 20% is. This works out to 1.6lbs a week estimated loss. I'm going to try this for 2 weeks and see how my body reacts to it. I haven't felt tired or hungry on 1200, but don't want to stall my loss by undereating
