Day 3 of 2000cals. 1lb up so far but I won't judge yet :)

I've all my holiday weight lost now - only took 5 days! Amazing what dehydration and pizza will make your body do :blush: I kept to my cals though, didn't panic starve myself and my body did it's own thing. I've had a few distractions over the last few weeks so I'm back in the game now :smile: if I can keep the food…

Thank you for the response :smile: I've been doing the increases every 4 weeks, so after a week or two, my stomach gets used to the changes alright. My goal now is to eat enough and properly. I do strength training to keep muscle, but I will aim to do more strength training in August. I have been doing 3*45mins training a…

I went to Spain for the weekend too, put on so much water weight which is nearly all gone now! Maybe the potential dehydration makes our body hold onto more water.

I'm originally from Meath but I live in Dubin :)

My bf is a tattoo artist - I'd be fecked if I didn't love them! I only have 4 but I love them all. Currently planning my leg piece so I can show it off during the summer :smile:

I find The Path to Totality is a great one for me to get up and going. Gojira's The Way of All Flesh is great for doing an angry run to :laugh:

I lost a shoe size too. Used to be a UK10, now I'm a UK 9 in most places. Feckin' delighted cos I have giant feet for a girl!

I'm half Kerry, so I won't hold it against ye :D

That's what I'm doing at the moment - just upped my cals yesterday so feel free to add :)

Thanks peeps! Good to get a few new people on board :)

I'm Irish but don't hold it against me. I've added some of you already, but feel free to add me too. It's nice having people talking about the same food :D

I love my slow cooker! The thing I love about them most is that there's no recipe needed as such. I usually just lash in everything and cook for 3+ hours on high. I also do meats like whole chicken or joint of ham, they come out so succulent. Stews are lovely from a slow cooker: 450g diced steak 2 carrots (optional…

Howiye! I'm Irish :D

You look great, well done! I love your dress too :D

Good jaysis you look great! Well done to ye!

I think education and culture has so much to do with this "epidemic" too. I get so sad because I see parents stock up on chicken nuggets and wedges for their kids, instead of educating themselves about how to feed their kids. There is a perception that healthy food is more expensive, but that's BS. The german overlords…

I've taken the last 3 or so weeks off, due to being completely run down. I've kept well within my calories and I've lost weight so it can be done but I don't feel as healthy as I could be.

Vodka and diet coke (or any diet beverage) does the job for me :smile:

I'm from Meeeeed but I've lived in Dublin for nearly 10 years now. Still have a whopper bogger accent but I do come out with some Dub words... like whopper :D I used to live with a fella from Cork and another from SoCo Dublin (loike, y'know!). We had an American girl live with us also for a few months and she just couldn't…

I do enjoy a good accent I must admit. A nice nordie accent (Northern Ireland) is lubbly, as are some Scottish accents (as long as I can understand them) I have a bogger Irish accent - I think it's horrendous :laugh:

I missed this earlier, thank you! My friend was a Polar Bear for Halloween :laugh:

There's a few of us knockin' about alright! I'm a culchie but I live in Dublin :smile:

Thank you :happy:

First time posting comparison pics...

I love going running late at around 10pm - it's really peaceful yet you'd be surprised how many others are out doing the same thing. I find that I am more awake when I get back, but if I really push it and tire myself out, then I can sleep with no problems after a lovely long hot shower.

You Americans and yer cars - they're a rare site over in this part of the world. This is my car! Mazda RX8 Exclusive. Tis all stock at the moment but I do hope to fit a decat and maybe get some plastidip at the wheels. I <3 it :D

Photobucket is acting up - it's not meant to be today! Well done to you all though :laugh:

I have a few tattoos already - but my goal one will be on my side/ribs/hips. One big mofo of one, and I can't wait to have the body to go with it. It'll also motivate me to keep the weight off :smile: I'll also be buying lots and lots of cool skinny jeans and nice fitted dresses. I WILL get there :happy:

I'm just as bad! We have free cakes and doughnuts in work quite often, and tomorrow night I'm going on a work evening out which will have free finger food and maybe a drink or two too. I'll log on here tomorrow, give myself an allowance and if I feel like I'm going to go over, I might just have to leave :cry: :laugh:
