Original mfp starting weight summer 2012 : 201lb SW (Jan 29): 150 Feb 5 - 149 Feb 12 - Feb 19- GW this month (26th Feb) 142 I've definitely lost more than 1lb this week but I'm sore all over this morning and retaining fluid in my sore muscles. Hoping next week will be 3lb to make up for it.!

I'm kitty Live in Scotland Age 32 Height 5'5" Sw 201 in 2012 Cw 151 Gw 126 I was always very slim as an adult (under 120lb) until I went on a combination of 4 horrible medications and I piled the weight on. High dose steroids for 6 months was the worst offender. Not just fat but moon face, stretch marks the lot. I got off…

Incredible work.. well done! You look gorgeous X

Oh my god I can't even imagine..! I live in Scotland and our July has been rainy and averaging about 16C. even exercising outside in our weather I overheat and my face is bright red! I even struggle in the air conditioned gym unless I'm positioned in front of the fan. I must be a very hot blooded lady! I think I would just…

Cxworx is a great class for core. There are some crunches and crunch variations, but also various planks and work with resistance tubes. I workout every day doing various weight training and cardio, and this class gets me the most in terms of feeling your abs burning!

Pretty much every day, the occasional rest day. I do 3 days of lifting, plus body balance, combat, metafit, two shbam dance classes, cxworx and running. I'm the fittest I've ever been. I'm not remotely ripped.. because I eat too much!

Shock absorber for dd plus is fantastic. I wear a 32f. As long as you get one tight enough around the ribs it's brilliant. I can jump all over the place without giving myself a black eye.

you can overdose on magnesium - and it will give you the shitters :-)

Hi I have the same monitor. I've replaced both the watch and transmitter batteries myself no problem. whatever the code was on the battery I just searched for on amazon and got it for a couple of pounds. I think they say to get manufacturer to do it to make it hundred percent water tight again for swimming, but I've got…

I have a liver and two kidneys. I'm feeling pretty cleansed! don't waste your money, it's just marketing gimmicks.

ha ha ha when people start to complain that you smell of cabbage fart lol I know what you mean - we had cabbage last night, it looked tiny but i only cooked up half of it and we had a mountain each and still threw some out. it's just one of those foods that seems to reappear on your plate every mouthful you take. its…

wow. I admire you for sharing your story, thank you. I can't imagine what life has been like for you, you are simply amazing and i wish you every success and happiness for the future x

ha ha fairly big cotton comfy PANTS oh yeah so sexy :D

you beat me to it!

yeah sounds about right. if your instructor weighs twenty stone.

THIS exercise and aim for a healthy weight

A very interesting read thanks for posting. This definitely applies to me. I need body acceptance, not if I am this size/weight I will be happier.

wow. just wow. Im not sure what shocked me the most. probably that AIDS is caused by the psychological stress of having HIV - UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry about your injury, take medical advice and hope you feel better soon! i carry a lot of tension in my upper back neck and shoulders - recently it got so bad that it threw my lower back out too. regular massage and stretching several times a day along with daily yoga and gentle walking helped get it better. Im now back…

And older people tend to be ok at the lower range of bmi given differences in body comp :)

I see! That makes more sense (you hurt my brain!) - I'm afraid I don't have much advice apart from eat at a slight kcal xs, lift heavy, maintain a good protein intake :)

You are bang in the middle of healthy BMI (21.1, range 18.5-25) so I wouldn't get yourself too worried about it just now (worrying might make you feel unable to eat!) but I agree if you keep losing this could be detrimental. I'm afraid it's simply eat more and/or exercise less - is there anything you could cut out of your…

Hmmm I don't believe your doctor's analysis - you lost 9lb right and 6lb was muscle? So that means you lost 3lb of fat/water/whatever? Then how could that cause you BF% to drop from 21 to 16%??

thanks for your replies - I admire those doing this for health reasons only - I want to be healthy too especially as Im on meds that increase risk of metabolic syndrome and diabetes. But there is a big short term vanity side of it lol ;) good luck everyone!

bumpety..

clm878 - looks like we have a lot of the same motivations including being bridesmaids!!! good luck everyone and hope you achieve your goals!

I exercise. I know the feeling - dreadful cramps, sweats, belly looks seven months pregnant -but honestly, exercise does REALLY help and you can do it. If you really just want to curl up, then no big deal. you'll be right again in a couple days :)

my mum, at least once a month (we speak about oncea week) - exercise isn't good for you. that and - you're over-doing it. uh-huh. whatever.

BISCUITS!!! the British kind - digestives, hobnobs, custard creams, chocolate fingers...
