10kg Lost :)
Hi all, This is my 10kg (22lb) weightloss photo. I was never huge to start with, but definitely carrying too much for my frame and I was very unhappy. I am very proud to hit the 10kg mark and I am stunned looking back at how much I let it all go. I will just share one pic as I still have work to do. I am at 11kg lost now…

How much under goal should I go?
Hi all, I am pretty close to my goal weight now (yay!) but I know that as I increase my calories again, I will have a bit of a bounce back in weight. How much under my goal weight should I go so that I level out roughly where I want to be? Goal is 54kg (about 118lbs) and I am 159cm - not sure if that makes a difference.…

I suck at running :(
I have always struggled with high heart rate when I exercise. I perpetually get VERY red in the face and remain red for quite a while after my work outs. I feel a lot of heat in my head and body too. However, I am disappointed that things do not seem to be improving much. I have been doing a lot of running over the last…

I am pretty happy right now! 3 months (pics)
I have been on this (2nd time) journey for 3 months. It's really hard knowing if you are seeing results when you see yourself every day. I took photos today and compared them and wow there really is a difference! I am stoked! I am 8kg down, 2 or 3kg still to go. But this encourages me to keep the efforts up.

A bit disillusioned - help please!
Hi guys, I have been working pretty hard over the last few weeks to get my weight back under control. I don't have a huge amount to lose. I lost it this time last year and then winter hit and I put it back on. Not going to make the same mistake twice. However, after dropping for the first ten days, my weight has suddenly…

Fitbit Adjustments - Do I trust?
I lost some weight last year with just MFP. I lost pretty quickly and steadily, but gained it back because, well, I was an idiot. Trying again this year. Have got a fitbit and I notice I am getting quite a lot of extra calories allocated based on my daily routine. Are these trustworthy? I am a bit scared that they may be…

Very angry with myself.
Hi guys - I need some friends and motivation, as right now I don't really have either!! From January to April I lost about 8kg... I got within 500g of my goal weight and for a few weeks I just couldn't lose the last bit. I got frustrated, winter kicked in which halted my running (I have little kids and can't run till my…

What a difference 5kg/10lbs makes!
The photo on the left was me a couple of days into January this year. It was seeing this photo that made me realise I had to lose some weight. I am not a big girl, but I am about 15kg bigger than I was before I had kids. My goal is to lose 10kg, and I am half way there. I really didn't think much had changed, but I am so…

Post baby belly - prolapse
Hi girls, I am a small 5'3" girl. I don't have a huge amount to lose, probably about 22lbs, and I am half way there. My issue is my belly. I thought it was fat, but as I have lost the weight but none of the inches around my middle, I realise that my tummy muscles are totally shot to pieces. I had a prolapsed uterus after…

Those of you who have done 30DS - knee question
Hi guys, I would like to do 30 Day Shred. I really need to tone my body, much more so than lose weight, but motivation is low. I need to make a commitment. However, I often get sore knees when running. I have been told by a physio that it is where my hamstring attaches to the front below my knee that gets inflamed. I have…

Losing weight but not decreasing measurements.
I have lost about 3kg (sorry, not sure about lbs) and have about 5kg to go. But I haven't lost any centimetres around my tummy - if anything I have gained there! For a month I have been eating as healthy as I ever have in my life and doing quite a lot of cardio workouts and a little bit of weight training. Why would I not…

NZers & Mums trying to lose weight...
Hi all! I am keen to befriend Kiwis, Aussies and any mums with young kids (especially those who are breast feeding) who are trying to lose weight. Would really like to get a bit of a support network around me, because I struggle not to give in to my sweet tooth and eat bad food! Need some people to keep me honest. :-)…

Hi!
Hi everyone, My name is Laurie, and I am from Wellington, New Zealand. I had my second baby 14 months ago and have been at home with my kids for the last year. I am due to go back to work in 2 days. Over the last year, all my good plans for lots of exercise failed to eventuate, and I also let my sweet tooth get the better…
