Birmingham here too (well just outside). You look HUGE in your profile pic and I don't mean fat. If you cut 18kg your going to look well ripped! I'm intrigued to see how you progress - good luck!
-
Right then - I'll give it a go!

What's this obsession with peanut butter and apple? It seems to be on everyone's guilty pleasure list! Am I missing something special?!

A calorie is a calorie whether it's from salad or a burger. It's purely a measurement of energy or heat. The nutrients may be very different but that's a not the discussion. We are talking about energy from food.

You've done so well - 15 pounds is a cracking amount to lose and it looks like you've done it sensibly over a reasonable amount of time. You've probably just hit a wall and you need to change things up again to shock your metabolism into action. Add me pal - not only am I in the same boat - I'm in the room next door!

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realise I could add a past entry to change my starting weight. I joined MFP a month after starting my fitness regime and have lost 13 pounds up to this point. The ticker was annoying me just showing a measly 2lbs! Hiker - that's an awesome transformation in your profile picture. Well…

Your target calories already has a healthy deficit calculated into it. You should try to get close to your target calories as this ensures your getting the nutrients your body needs to work efficiently.

It can be quite lonely this health and fitness lark. Add me if you would like some company!

Hi David - I'm 37 and trying to work my way down to a decent base weight (around 13st) before starting a clean bulk to build muscle and strength. I've got 33lbs to go. I joined a gym 1 month ago and the cost of that alone is motivation enough for me to stick with it! At present I go 5 days a week doing a mixture of cardio…

Feel free to add me! 30 something male from Birmingham UK. 33lbs to lose.

I wish you all the best with your journey - I'll be here to try and offer support when you need it! Friendship accepted! (I'll also get a profile picture sorted asap!)

It really is a mental battle isn't it! Now I've done a bit more research I understand the logic and hopefully if I follow editorgrrls advice I will be able to maintain the weight loss rather than putting it all back on later!

Thanks for the advice and it makes perfect sense! I just need to remember its a long term thing and that I shouldn't get too down hearted if the scales don't show big changes week on week.
