Thank you! Purely down to calorie counting!

Wow you look awesome! I've nearly lost 60lb too, how tall are you?

Definitely patience, I thought it wasn't working but after 2 weeks it started to come off and it makes you carry on. Don't give up!!

Thank you everyone on your replies!! Very helpful, I am going to buy some equipment tomorrow and research stronglifts! Thank you!

I can now cut my toenails properly!

I'm a nurse and I find eating a big breakfast before work and then fast for my shift (I never get a break anyway) and then eat healthy dinner when I get home.

Just seen, fitbit one! Thank you!

No I work on the wards and we are not allowed anything below elbow, I have a fob watch with a second hand etc. What is the fitbit called which can be attached to the bra so I can search for it online? Thanks for all your replies.

I just had a 4 week plateau after losing 34lbs. I know how frustrating this feels. I stuck to my usual calories, however I had a night out (drank alcohol) and went over my calories which seemed to have busted me through it and I lost 5lbs over the course of the next week. I truly believe having a day where you eat more…

I literally said OMG when I saw the before and afters. Amazing achievement you should be so so proud of yourself. I am 5ft 1in also and I am halfway through my own journey!

192 pounds down to 160 (now I am 153)

This is so true, I beat myself up when I compare myself to other peoples weight losses. I've lost 2 and a half stone (as of this morning) since May 2014. Seeing that pound come off this morning after 3-4 weeks of staying the same makes me one happy girl! (I'm 5 foot 1)

Wow 50lbs! congratulations! how long did it take you? I had to start losing weight after being too heavy to sky dive...mortifying!

Good advice thanks galprincess, however I feel I have more fat to lose before I start toning - or should I start toning now? I have no idea what to do for the best. Have you any advice how I go about starting to tone (is it possible to do in the house as due to my shift work going to the gym would take a lot of effort). I…

Thanks for the reply and the congratulations :) I have just recalculated and my BMR is 1380 and my TDEE is 1910. I am basically eating at my BMR and have done all the way through this process. If I eat any more than this I know I will put on weight. Should I lower my calories? I've no idea how to kickstart this weight loss…

Thanks everyone, can't believe I can notice the difference in the pics but in real life I still feel the same! The mind is a powerful thing!

I stopped snoring!!! It is now a gentle purr according to my family....good luck!! x

Thanks for the replies, I'm not actually doing this, it was purely for hypothetical purposes wondering if the weight loss would be affected by eating the same amount if calories in fast food (fried, fat).

Thanks guys, I put on 10lb when I was away for a week, didn't even think that was possible!! I have lost 7lbs of that in 2 weeks, just another 3 to go but been stuck on same number for afew days. Frustrationnnnnnn!

I snack in the evening too. I leave enough calories to do this but I find low calorie crisps the best (crisps are my weakness!) so I just sit there sucking on some quavers for 88 calories!

I fitted into a zip up dress which was too tight 4 weeks ago, there was more than enough wiggle room this time!

I weigh every day, so since yesterday 3lb loss. If it is because of dehydration, will I see it go back on tomorrow? I'm not sure whether to log it on my ticker....

Thank you for the replies. This is definitely a rare thing for me but last time I did it (I drank over my calories) I put on 3lb which took me 2 weeks to get off again. I'm dreading that will happen again.......but sometimes you have to go out and have fun because what is the point in living.........DILEMMA.

Two separate people in work commented my face looks thinner :) !!

Wow fantastic achievement you should be so proud of yourself! At what height are you? as you look similar to me!!

Totally been here. I don't like people noticing. It makes me feel really paranoid and I don't know what to say back especially when it is my family. I know they mean well but I am so embarrassed by how fat I had got it brings it all back with every compliment.

Fantastic, thanks for all the advice!

Thanks for the replies. So if I continue to eat 500 calories below my TDEE I should lose weight?

2 lb was the damage, thanks for all your replies x
