How should I approach the next phase of this journey?
So I've lost about 54kg to date through calorie deficits and cardio. I think I have a further 8 to 10kg of fat to lose but probably only want to be around 4 or 5kg lighter. I've added weights to my exercise routine three to four times a week about a month ago and am starting to see some definition forming. I haven't done…

NSV
I took my son to see a specialist doctor this morning for an initial consultation. The doc mentioned in passing that my son was 90th percentile for height and 20th percentile for weight.

I'm slowly increasing my calorie count and expect the remaining 14kg to take as long as the previous 48kg, if not longer. Having…

Mindset change - NSV
My first post, but thought I had something worth sharing. I've lost almost 40kg to date and still have a way to go before I'm where I need to be. And that's even before I start long term maintenance. I started tracking calories via MFP several months ago and it's really helped me to feel like I'm no longer dieting. I'm…
