I've had to stick to 1.5lbs a week even though I have 20lbs left to lose as if I go any higher on my calories I just don't lose weight.

It's good to take it seriously, not to the point of making yourself ill, but if you're doing it properly then you have to be serious about it.

I'd be judging them that they are standing around talking crap about people rather than sorting themselves out. Then again you can lose the weight, they'll always be b!tches!

@arian10daddy #5 looks badass haha

* My Ah-Ha moment was at the beginning of 2014 when I was lying in bed, heart killing me and I said to myself: "If I don't lose this weight I will definitely die this year". Quite depressing really! * This was my first real attempt. It was certainly helped by going on anti-depressants at the same time, got my head in the…

Do this ^ If you have trouble sticking to diets then an "elimination" diet will be even harder.

Just eat within your calorie allowance and you will lose weight. Simples.

As unpopular as it is here I weighed myself every day for a year. Obviously there are fluctuations but it allowed me to keep track of everything. And like as others said, don't use cups to measure solids, food scales are where to go.

Treat it like the big lifestyle change it is and adapt. That's how I did it, it becomes second nature after a while. Just don't do any fad diets or anything like cutting out 100% carbs etc, that always leads to failure.

You're looking fantastic in both, but great job!

More Cowbell!

If they do Salter in your country go for that, very good scales.

Not minding as standing there being very impressed!

stare off

Fantastic!

Incredible!

Amazing, you look incredible and that's such a great story! So happy for you :smile:

When I started at 19st I started running too quickly into my diet and my ankles still play up as a result. Start walking until the feel confident to jog, don't rush it.

You look incredible, great job!

Great going man! I'm hoping to emulate this, before I couldn't walk up the stairs without getting hopelessly out of breath and now I'll be doing the Color Vibe 5K like you in June!

I only use my exercise calories to have a protein shake that I didn't want to use up my normal calorie allowance or to cover a slight surplus from the day.

Keep strong, every day that passes it will get steadily easier. I kept a tally of how many days I went without the sugary foods that caused me to binge and it helped me keep going.

Besides the OP seems to have bolted because the thread wasn't going in the direction she wanted.

Normally they use the term "haters" when they want to rubbish the opinion of anyone who doesn't agree with them!
