Add me, open diary and love looking at others for inspiration ☺️

I use Pure Series Bulk Powder in vanilla, mainly because its the cheapest on amazon. I have no complaints but its the first one I've tried so I'm probably not the most discerning

Glasgow Scotland!

Same here!!

Not a silly question ^^ ill answer to the best of my knowledge (and my knowledge just comes from other things ive read) You have a basic metabolic rate, which when paired with your general activity level (not inc exercise) gives you your basic calorie need for the day to maintain (you can find this calculator online). Its…

Eat them over the Easter week! A little a day and up your exercise to compensate - this is whats so good about eating healthily and realistically, you can eat a mega varied diet and still lose if you're sensible.

You're in a dress and you look fantastic!!! A big well f@cking done to you!!! x

Pitta bread is pretty low in calories and you can really stuff them full of yummy nutritious fillings. English breakfast muffins seem pretty low in calories too - and they look pretty filling. But to be perfectly honest you should eat what you're in the mood for. I try to avoid baguettes etc but sometimes you just crave…

*Cheer!* Well done! You can certainly see that 7lb loss - I honestly would have said you'd lose more!

Hey hun, Listen to what everyone is saying on here. I know it came from a doctor but 5lbs per week is too much and realistically unsustainable. Aim for 2 lbs - some weeks you may lose more some less, but please don't starve your body. Your body needs calories to function and it's better to go over your calories slightly -…

Hi! Kinda in the same boat as you; 23 years old, 35lbs-ish to lose. Try not to completely cut out the nice things that you like, just eat them in strict moderation. If you completely cut them out then when you do get to your goal and you eat normally again your body might not have learned moderation properly. I'm a…

Needs to be stickied!

Same as a lot of the previous posters. Found I was outgrowing my clothes, feeling bigger than ever (and I am!). Realising that sitting in with my partner eating a tonne of junk food 4 nights a week IS something I love doing, but the thing I love about it was the company and I wasn't really enjoying the junk. Now we run…

Thanks for the replies! Yeah, it feels good (last night I just had one small square of very dark chocolate as a treat and it really sorted out my cravings) but I'm missing the ritual of having a coffee - the prep, the nice warm feeling and (obviously) the caffeine boost!

Accountancy student, 3rd year in scotland ^^ probably gained the freshmen 15 for every year so far!

From ages 12-17 everyone said I looked 17 (very early developer) then 18-23 everyone still says i look 17! Losing the weight will probs drop the baby face too :p

I'm a seasoned C25K-er, and while I did always take the day off in-between, since doing it my second time round I find 1-2 days off a week is fine. Just be sure not to skip any weeks/reps, need to build that stamina!

My partner has noticed the 2-3lbs i've lost so far (though he's been hearing all about my chocolate cravings for two weeks so he might be lying!) My worry is seeing my mother in a month. She notices every change in my weight. I want to lose the weight but I know whats coming: her continuously asking if I'm eating enough,…

F@ck me! The before pic looks just like my ex (who I thought was gorgeous) but the after pic.... Hellllloooo sailor! You look smouldering (and so done for making such a positive change in your life, you've done so well) ^^

Inspirational! Keep it up hun, you look so much fitter and healthier!

Mhmm chocolate, would love the chocolate mousse recipe, @rutheglen!

Just added you as a friend ^^ I'm very new here but I'd advise sticking to your 500 cal deficit and - if you have the dress - hang it somewhere you can see it or pop a picture of it up on the fridge so you can always remind yourself of what you're working for ^^

Steak! Sirloin, fat trimmed with side salad and I would have had mashed potatoes but they turned out so weird! Very very starchy, maybe forgot to clean the pan after boiling spaghetti :s delicious though!

Good on you Chezz! 16/17 is old enough to know how to behave!

Wow, I feel like smacking those who have said horrible things to everyone in this forum about their weight! It is a low blow - used when someone can't think of anything else to say. I'll try to pick the most significant, but there had been a lot! I'm the youngest of three sisters and three female cousins, all extremely…

Im still marvelling at what I've done. Always been chubby, biggish, round... Now i feel like a whale! Was 140 lbs on a 5'5 frame (slightly overweight but not major) now I'm pushing obesity (oh how i hate saying that) at 172ish. Gained 32 lbs - the weight of a child! - over 9 months. Not in pregnancy either. Quite a few…

HI! Eva, 23 and trying to get from 175 lbs to 140 lbs then I'll reassess my goals, Glasgow Area! Add away :D x

Hey! Age: 23 Height: 5'5 SW: 175 lbs GW: 140 lbs
