I never measure and I never log on here. But I do count my calories on some days. I eat a very similar diet the majority of the time so I tend to know my general calorie intake without bothering to count.

Leicester, England :smile: I didn't realise there was so many Americans on here, I love American accents :blushing:

I admire women who have the confidence to do this.

:huh:

I don't have any scary pictures but this scenario always gives me the creeps: 'You are up in your bedroom when you hear your partner calling you downstairs. You are halfway down the staircase when all of a sudden, you see your partner in front of her bedroom door, terrified, she whispers, ‘Don’t go downstairs. I heard her,…

The one you have now :smile:

I personally started to notice after about 14-21lbs (baggier clothes and a slight difference in the pictures taken) but othes didn't start making comments until I'd lost over 28lbs. Definitely keep taking pictures and you will notice a difference soon. 14lbs is a lot of weight and it must have come from somewhere! :smile:

Myself. When I have those (luckily rare) days when I cannot find the motivation to exercise.

This keeps happening to me. I've had family, friends and colleagues all say it on seperate occasions and I tend to just laugh it off. I've heard 'you're wasting away', 'don't lose any more, you'll look too skinny', 'if you lose any more you will look like a lollipop head on your wedding day', 'you're too skinny, put some…

I've never watched it. It's bad enough seeing the adverts. I'm not really sure who she actually is.

Mine is usually 200-300 calories but I tend to snack at 11am so I'm happy with a smaller breakfast.

We don't have AC in the UK :sad: and none of us can cope at the moment because it's so hot! I have a tiny little fan whirring away in my apartment. It's pathetic :laugh:

:huh: Lies.

Really? Because I lost 32lbs through the power of my imagination. :wink: I think the post was intended to be a light-hearted and uplifting topic that could motivate people. I don't think it's meant to be taken literally. It's stating the obvious to say 'imagination won't make you slim' and it wasn't the point of the topic.…

If it was me then I would appreciate the advice but some people can get defensive if they feel like they're being criticised. They might feel embarrassed or think 'mind your own business'. If you do then be careful how you approach it.

No, I don't understand this either. I always count everything I eat into my daily calories, including fruits and vegetables. Every little bit adds up!

No, I am definitely not a breakfast person. It's the timing of it rather than the typical foods. I never have a big appetite in the morning. But I love cereal and I used to love a full English any other time of the day :tongue: Saying that, I always try to have something.

Excuse me? I made it perfectly clear in my post that I disagree with judging others and being harsh on anyone who chooses to eat that way. Evidently you didn't read my post properly. You cannot criticise someone for feeling that way. A heightened awareness of others eating habits (as I stated in my previous post) is…

Incorrect, but thanks for the wild assumption. I have been the person on both ends. I have had to inform a friend that her other half was cheating (we're still close friends and he's gone) and I have also been the one cheated on. Unfortunately no-one thought to tell me and I found out 9 months later. Perhaps I have friends…

I stuck to 1200 calories a day at the beginning of my diet but I stopped losing and I was so hungry. I upped it to 1400-1500 (ignoring mfp) and have found that not only easier to maintain but I have been losing every week since :bigsmile:

I'm amazed that so many people wouldn't tell their friends :noway:. Isn't that what friends are for? I would rather tell my friend that I had reasons to believe/evidence that her partner was cheating and risk our friendship being damaged. Rather than her finding out later that not only was her partner having an affair but…

Yes, I wouldn't hesitate in telling my friend if I had reason to believe their partner was cheating. Even if I wasnt 100% sure I would probably say something.

Ooh I'm 5ft 4 and 137lbs (and our names are both Bee...weird! :tongue:) I would also agree with the above poster and suggest eating more, especially for breakfast.

Wow. Some people on here are just shining their little halo's, aren't they?! :grumble: No, I don't think it sounds like you're developing an eating disorder as some people have suggested. Yes, I think it is very normal to have a heightened awareness of others eating habits now that you are being healthier and it can be an…

I would be interested to see results from RI30 too. I'm on day 3 at the moment. I took pictures with 30DS and was really pleased with the results so here's hoping it will be the same for RI30 :happy:

I have quite a small frame and when I reached my lightest a few years ago I'm pretty sure I didn't have a thigh gap. As everyone else has said, some people never get one. Try and focus on other 'physical' goals, like your clothes becoming looser. I love dropping through the dress sizes :bigsmile:

I'm 5ft 4 and the shortest man I've ever dated was 5ft 10, I prefer taller men. My fiance is 6ft 3 :love:

People can be so cynical and downbeat on here. :grumble: I love your post. I personally use this to motivate me with my diet. Focusing on who and what I want to be is enough for me to avoid all of the crap I used to eat. :smile:
