Request sent. Anyone feel free to add me too :) https://www.fitbit.com/user/2T6Q35

When I was in high school, I peaked to 180ish - at 16 and 5'3", I was pretty big. Since then, I've shrunk down from size 18 to 10, to ~135 ish. Want to lose 10 more pounds :)

Recently lost my streak of 115 days, but I log daily ^_^ Feel free to add me, anyone! :)

Drawn to thread by mention of pizza.

There are certain foods like a massive pizza that I can control, and there are others like a tub of Ben & Jerrys and cookies that I cannot. I have accepted this. I have a principle of eating junk food only when it is REALLY worth the taste and this helps. I do not buy cookies or ice cream (my two "trigger foods") very…

OMG I WANT THIS NOWWWW ...bookmarked for later :D

Sent you a friend request, always looking for new motivating friends :)

Not really a chocolate bar but Quest bars have proved to be a great substitute for when I'm craving chocolate. Double chocolate chunk actually tastes like chocolate!

You look amazing - good job on focussing on inches! All the best with ChaLean :)

During the week, I try to net just slightly under 1250 - ie eating not all of my exercise calories back, so I can eat a lot (2500ish) once a week :P

When you cut your calories, and eat at a deficit, you lose weight - some fat and some muscle. Lifting during that period helps to minimise loss of muscle. While you will not see significant changes with respect to muscle size when eating at a deficit, you'll be doing a plenty of good for your body in the long run - it's…

Choco chip cookie dough is my absolute fave, definitely curbs my sweet tooth.

Sign up for one which is few months away, and find a beginners program like couch to 5K. When I started running (not too long ago), I could hardly run 30 s, now I can run nearly 10 mins at a stretch!

I usually use this recipe - it's for 12-14, and 780ish for the whole recipe, so about 55-65.

I think it really depends on your lifestyle. For example, I am a student and I choose to walk anywhere that can be walked to in an hour instead of taking public transport and I walk at least an hour each day as part of my routine - I don't have the scope to add any more activity to my daily routine. That's the reason I do…

Since calorie burn is just an estimate, I eat only a portion of my exercise calories. However, this also depends on how hungry I am on a given day, I end up calorie cycling without consciously meaning to.

I think circuit training is a good way of logging it.

Congrats on deciding to make this change, I wish you all the best! However, I'd like to point out that 1000 kcal per day is far too less to fuel your body and also very hard to follow. Try to eat at least 1200 a day net, remember it's not just about weight loss, it's also about being healthier :)

I did Level 1 Day 3 yesterday. Trying to do it 4-5 days and do other exercises on other days to avoid boredom. You can add me as a friend if you want :) We can motivate each other.

As you said, you might be exercising too much. The 30 DS workouts are only 20 mins which may feel less but that's the point of the workout - less for more. I guess that's the reason you can do it everyday as well. Try following the plan as designed? I just started the 30 DS and I plan on combining it with 2-3 hours of…

I am the slightest bit taller but our SW and GW are so similar :D

Hi, I'm 5'3" and about 135ish. Goal weight is approximately 120, though I'm aiming for fat loss instead of weight loss so the GW is just an estimate :)

This post really put the 40ish lbs I've lost into perspective. Thanks, OP, you made my day!

Have patience, quick fixes are temporary.

1 cup is usually 8 ounces, about 225ml?

I live in Bristol, feel free to add me :)

I think I became more confident - I used to think I didn't deserve certain things like being with a man that loves me because I felt like I wasn't good enough - I've learnt better now. I'm still far away from my ideal body and have a fair bit of fat on my body, but I learnt to love myself. I also stopped feeling so guilty…

Some great ideas here, I personally LOVE Quest Bars - they are meant to be immensely healthy AND they actually taste good! Besides that, I'm too busy to cook from time to time, but I try to have something like scrambled eggs and wholemeal bread or fruits. Probably not the best option, but I've drunk protein shakes as meal…

I'm 21 & I've had a terrible week of eating - but I'm starting Jillian's 30 DS tomorrow & starting to eat clean. Anyone can add me for daily encouragement and updates :)

Hi! I'm 21 and I start at BMI of 31.64 - now I'm down to 23.9, looking to lose few more pounds. :) Feel free to add me, everybody!
