That's a great loss! Do you use an app like happy scale which balances out the fluctuations in weight?

Im exactly the same as you and same goal. How is it going so far? I'm losing incredibly slowly (well at least it feels slow) 5.8 lbs since January 9th, but at least I'm losing.

34 hips 29 waist 37 bust Not sure what shape that is 5 3 and 130lb

Ok so 1.5 litres extra weighs 3.3lbs, maybe your body just isn't used to having so much water in and is retaining it. 3 litres of water would be 6.6lbs

Eaten something salty yesterday? Not been to the toilet in a while?

I got up and weighed. Then went out and went to dr and got weighed so about an hour inbetween (and actually I didn't eat anything and um got rid if some stuff after weighing myself at home). I'm not worried about it but it puts me back in the overweight category when I was comfortably in normal!

I can see a difference on your belly and around your waist at the back. I'm almost the same height as you (maybe half an inch taller) and am down around 13lbs and still don't see a difference yet, I think it jsut takes time

I weigh myself every day when I wake up - I have an app called Happy Scales which draws a smooth line graph of all my weights so it's not really demoralising or anythign when I gain a few pounds seemingly overnight

Just thought I'd come back and say the race atmosphere meant I did a lot better than I thought I would and finished under 2.20! Good luck everyone else with theirs :)

My longest training session so far has been 11.5miles and that was at around 5mph. The cut off time is 3.5 hours so I hope I get in before then!!! I don't really mind being slow I just don't want to be the very last... As this is my first half I am going to work on speed after this, firstly with shorter distances though.…

Count how much oil or whatever ou're using to cook it in. I tend to just count it all, if I use one tbsp of oil to fry i'll count it all

Nice recipes. Do you have the calories for it?

Thanks for this! I find if you just put it in a bowl/jug and use a stick blender it's perfectly lump free and smooth!

You don't even need oil for these. I just spread mine out on a plate and microwave them for 10 minutes and they come out nice and crispy. You can obviously put whatever toppings as usual that you like. I make mine sweet with some stevia

1 TBSP flour 1 TBSP sugar 1 TBSP unsweetened cocoa a pinch of baking soda a pinch of salt 1 TBSP of low fat yoghurt There ya go, I think this actually is low cal. Comes out about 100ish cals depending on your ingredients.

I thought that 1 cup = 236.58 grams was only correct for water? That might be why it's different?

You wear your HRM on the couch a few times to test

Yes, if you're lighter you have less mass to move therefore need to expend less energy to move your body, therefore burn less.

I am going to join this thread if that's ok. I'm having an awful time and maybe if coming on here knowing I'm accountable might help. I've had 2 nights of full on late night snacking, permantnyl, all through the night every 2 hours. It's awful. What do you do to combat it. The problem is I can't drink because that is the…

it's a 3% gain so far and my clothes are getting tighter. Yes, I have measurements, they are getting larger. I am definitely putting on weight. It's not water weight or anything, it feels like fat to be honest.

I never eat anything processed at all. the only reason I'm asking is because it's been weeks and I'm gaining! It's not a plateau, it's a gain. It's clearly not sodium etc. because I drink tons and watch my salt intake. That's why I'm flummoxed

Heya, Just wanted to see if I could gain anymore insight on this. I am STILL gaining weight. Eating around 1200 a day and still exercising. Tried eating some more to see if it was that issue but i gained weight even quicker! Please help!!!

What's more amusing is that one day I burnt loads like tons and it said in 5 weeks I'd weight negative weight...

Definitely family!!! I'm not saying yous hould always go see family but this situation definitely!

no way! What machine was this one and were you putting in your weight?

corn cakes (like rice cakes but made out of corn) - 16 cals alpro soya yoghurt - 46 cals for 100g!! woohoo calorie bargain! pink and whites - 50 cals options hot choc - under 40 cals and a multitude of yummy flavours I'll think of more and come back

No I don't do weights everyday, I am definitely aiming for 3 times a week, it depends howo much time I have after cardio before I have to go out. For my weights I'm aiming to increase resistance/weight I'm 20 years old, does it make a difference?

This is my workout schedule last week anything without a label is a run/jog 36 mins treadmill intesrvals. Warm up / 20 seconds at 15 then 40 at 6.5 all incline 2/ warmdown 2 minutes at incline 2, 4 mins at incline 8, 2 at incline 6, 2 at incline 4, cool down 2 minutes 5.35 miles (60 mins) REST 20 minutes x trainer, weights…

thanks for this advice, I very very rarely feel hungry during the day, only after about 5/6 plus I have very little time in the day, I'll try and prepare lunch before I go out though
