If you want to work out measurements, Google will usually tell you. Type in the search box 'ml in cups' or '500ml in cups' etc and it'll tell you.

It iiis possible at first. It'll DEFINITELY slow down but perhaps the change in calorie intake has really jolted something! Have you been exercising more, as well?

Well done for signing up and chosing to get back on track. If you keep reminding yourself of the times you tried and gained back, I don't hold high hopes for your future success. This is a new page! A new chapter! MFP is all about living a healthier lifestyle and being aware of what you're doing to your body, not a quick…

Yay! I'm happy for you :) And damn your will power - I wish I could say no to the drink that easily (I have set myself a target though so I'm testing myself there - inspired by you). I met my boyfriend in Freshers Week in Custard Factory when I was near 200lbs. He was interested in me then and he's even more interested in…

How odd. In the UK it's just normal sizing like trousers.

All it does is gives you a bit more of an appetite, it doesn't make you put on weight if you don't let it. I lost half a stone when I was on the pill last time so I know I can get over that hurdle. It's gonna be all good :)

Wow, that's harsh. I think you're beautiful and would do some pretty illegal things to get your figure! Are those guys an active part of your life? If they are, why? What value do they give you? Have you tried a quiet chat with your ex-boyf to at least make him aware of how idiotic and childish they're being? And if you…

I try and burn about 300 calories a day with walking (even round the house, if it comes to that) so I have that safety net if I go over 1200 calories in food. When I was struggling to get to 1200 per day, my typical food day was like this: Breakfast - if cereal, 30g with soya milk or semi-skimmed. if not cereal, a banana…

If it's really so difficult, which I can understand, perhaps concentrate on portion sizes? If you have ice cream, perhaps have two scoops rather than a full sundae. That kind of thing :) Its quite hard to get friends/relatives to understand and be compassionate about your quest to lose weight (i've heard 'one won't hurt'…

I've got Salters. They're the best brand of scale i've found :) My boyfriend told me that when he was on his health kick he tried a variety of brands. The weight watchers ones were the worst, I think. Argos's brand were bad. Salters were the best. He gave me his glass one which looks a little like this:

Well done. I'm proud that you've come here. MFP is a really good tool to help you lose the weight and feel much better about yourself. Do remember that even if you don't reach your goal weight, a healthy lifestyle will always sort your body out and make you fitter and happier.

I reckon it really depends on how far you want to take the high calorie day. Think of it like binge drinking. It's not healthy to 'save up' your drinking units then have them all in one night so it's the same thing with calories. Plus, if you undereat on a few days by a substantial amount, your metabolism might be a bit…

I'm a student and have finished this year so I have a ton of time on my hands, too. I usually write a to do list and get through it. Going shopping, doing the washing, making a dinner or lunch with effort (i.e. something that needs various steps or takes at least half an hour to prepare), washing my hair (I have to wash…

Got the pictures to show up for you. The img tag needs to be in lower case :) Well done, I'm proud of you :D

Few extra stats: Level 1 total calorie burn: 2648 Level 2 total calorie burn: 2756 Level 3 total calorie burn: 2825 30 day total calorie burn: 8229 Average burn: 275 calories.

Oops, misread that... Waist - 35 inches // 33.5 inches (lost 1.5 inches) Total inches lost: 6.8

Here's my before and after: Weight - 196.2lbs // 193.8lbs (lost 2.4lbs) Waist - 35 inches // 33.5 inches (lost 0.5 inches) Hips - 43.5 inches // 42.5 inches (lost 1 inch) Bust - 40 inches // 40 inches (lost nothing, phew!) Neck - 13.5 inches // 13 inches (lost 0.5 inches) Left Arm - 14 inches // 12.6 inches (lost 1.4…

It seems I'm the only one left! It's my final shred tomorrow morning then I'll take measurements (and then again the morning after so it's accurate) and report back.

Hi :D 5kg by September is definitely do-able, especially with MFP. My brother does Jiu Jitsu at Uni (or did, he's left now) and that made him exceptionally fit and toned so that's a fantastic idea. It's also quite useful - he was on holday in Greece (I think) and someone grabbed his arm and without thinking he did a simple…

I like your attitude. Because of MFP, I've kept on track for longer than usual. I used to just diet with my Mum and not last a week. MFP has definitely contributed to my determination. :D Welcome to the team, so to speak. I'm also liking your mini goals. Got some good rewards there.

Circuit training. And it's 27 minutes, not 20.

Hey Well done for taking the first step :) Once you get on track and your life changes, I promise your husband will crank out the support. Don't worry. My boyfriend is a bit iffy on the support because he doesn't quite know what to say that wouldn't offend me in any way (i.e. go for the weight loss, you'll look amazing -…

I'm on Day 27 and have noticed that I went down an inch in my waist then back up so it balanced out (though if I squeeze I could get it back.. but you know thats not accurate :P). I think it's because the muscle is really building up there. I assume the fat will go eventually because muscle hates sitting next to fat. At…

C'mon peeps, we still at it? Just about to go to bed and when I wake up it'll be Day 27. Nearly there!!

Ah, my thoughts exactly. Tomorrow morning I'll be onto Day 24. I can see the end in sight! Been getting more frequent compliments from my boyfriend. He's really seeing a difference so that's definitely good. I haven't missed a day yet. My workouts have been wavering away from the early morning ones that I did for the first…

1 cup = 250ml (25cl) so your bottle would be 2 cups. Aim for four bottles, spread out, in a day.

Natalie - I'm so glad you're healing so quickly. Yay! You can credit that to healthy food and the workouts you did before that woke up your body.

Eeeeevery morning! Even when I feel awful and I want to pack it in. Only a week left for me, I'm on Day 23, so I can't give in now.
