Ooh, my turn now! PROGRESS so far! ^_^
Before we begin, let me introduce you to Emma from 4 years ago. At 19, I accepted that I wouldn't be a good looking young lady. I blamed genetics and didn't really care about health. I didn't care about exercise but LOOOVED having a good drinking session! (come on, tell me I don't look like a sweaty Meat Loaf!) During my…

Not much progress with body recomposition?
Strength training lovelies, I need your help. The good news is, I got to my GW of 55kgs almost two months ago :drinker: The "egh" news is, I went on holiday for 2 1/2 weeks and ate at a surplus for a while! As soon as I got back I got myself back on track and back at my goal weight :bigsmile: The bad news is, I started a…

Hi everyone! :) I'm having a bit of conflict with myself about my goal weight. I've spent the last 6 months losing at an average of 0.4 / 0.5kgs a week (1 / 1.3lbs). A few weeks ago I hit my initial goal weight of 58kg. Not being happy with that, I lowered it to 57kg... then 56kg... and now I'm almost at my new goal weight…

OMG, I'm OVER my calories (epic rant coming up)
... by FOUR calories. I'm over by FOUR calories and my home page is ridden with this huge, negative red line. Had I not eaten that extra cherry tomato, or that extra almond, I'd be warmly welcomed by a green line that says "Hey Emma, you're AWESOME!" http://i62.tinypic.com/25srlev.jpg Nope, this is NOT the post you guys…

Support me in getting rid of my T2 diabetes for good!
Hi everyone :) I'm looking for friends on MFP to support me in the long term - I've recently been told by my doctor that if I keep up the good work on losing weight and getting healthy I can finally get rid of my medication! My last fasting blood test was lower than the (non diabetic) nurse's - she was shocked AND amazed…

Have I been netting too few calories? If so, fix me!
Hello all :) I've got some good and no so good news about my weight loss... I think I've been doing it wrong and don't know how to fix myself! The good news is that, over the last 10 weeks, I have lost about 22lbs through calorie restriction and 4 cardio sessions a week (burning about 500 a time). I'm type 2 diabetic and…
