Keep in mind that slipping is not failure, it's just part of the process and happens to everyone. What happens after the slip is what matters :). Don't let it ruin your day, remind yourself of your goals and get back to it.

The previous week I was experimenting (which doesn't happen alot :D) so I figured I'd share. Came up with a few really nice versions of latte cotta: milk, gelatin powder and whatever extract you like - the calories basically comes from the milk. I really like this one I made with banana...

I'm not all that focused on numbers but I think 121 is a good weight for me. Hoping to lose a few more pounds before Christmas and after New Years I'll deal with the rest (well hopefully :D ... the holidays makes me lazy).

Thanks :) the holidays are just around the corner so might as well go hard untill then lol.

Fantastic job, you look fabulous!!! Enjoy your new body :)

Genetics determines where the fat is taken from... but lifting weights is good as it minimizes muscle loss.

It's impossible to target specific areas of fat, your genetics dictate where the fat is taken from.

2lbs = 7000 calories, so a daily calorie deficit of 1000cals should do the trick.

Certain types of food are supposed to help during PMS cravings (can't remember them off the top of my head). Might wanna look into it if you have serious issues.

Yikes, I can't believe she got that big again... just terrible. I feel esp. sorry for her after reading "at her current weight she is not expected to live past 20." Hope she gets the help to sort everything out.

^ It went pretty well, I did those 6 weeks and then took a little break (calorie balance). Starting part 2 now by trying out a version of "Intermittent Fasting" - 15 hours fasting with a 9 hour eating window.

Sunday 30min walk Porridge - 110cals 120g tuna - 120cals VLCD bar - 200cals Apple cake - 350cals Total: 780cals Second week comes to an end and my body's starting to feel a bit lighter :).

When I want something that's rich in calories I'll "save up" for it. Doesn't really matter how I spread out my calories as long as I'm burning those 7000cals a week. That's what's so great about counting; you don't have to exclude certain types of food, anything goes :).

Just follow these two steps and you'll find out how many calories you need :) Harris-Benedict equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You might wanna read this as well since you're worried about "starvation mode" The Starvation Myth

My body isn's getting enough nutrition from just 230cals a day, so I'll most likely end up feeling weak and tired. Binge eating comes to mind as well even though I've never experienced it, but nobody's immun. Becoming unhealthy and giving up is just not an option :D.

That's determination right there! :D Fantastic job on the weight loss and keeping it under control.

I've done quite alot of reading on different fitness forums and people always recommend this site - Calories Burned, BMI, BMR & RMR Calculator | CaloriesPerHour.com

Good job! :D

The idea that "not eating enough" causes the body to stop losing weight because it goes into "starvation mode" is a popular myth among dieters. The Starvation Myth (based on research).

Quark is nearly impossible to eat on its own, disgusting. I use it mainly as a creamy yoghurt, but since you don't like sweetener you could try mixing it with berries instead, still low cal. If you add water (some also use milk) into the mix it turns into a milkshake :D. If you're not too...

16st 6lb? :D. Weight fluctuates somewhat from day-to-day because of variations in food and fluid consumption. Weighing yourself in the morning, after going to the bathroom and on an empty stomach, is usually best.

Saturday & Sunday 1 hour walk Porridge - 110cals Bread - 100cals 120g tuna - 120cals 500g quark - 340cals 2 egg whites - 30cals Total: 700cals Had a good starting week, no problems at all (no cravings so far hehe) and I'm pleased to have stuck to the "-1000 rule".

I'm always up for a documentary :D. I've seen parts of this one though. Those diets weren't very clever though... eating 500-800 cals + burning off 1000 cals through exercise. No wonder they went weak and crazy. I'd never go that extreme!

Hey... Yeah, I tried the same type of diet (1000 calorie deficit) earlier this year and it worked pretty good. I ate around 900/1000 cals and burnt off 200cals by cycling & walking.

Thanks! I'm using the Harris-Benedict equation to calculate my daily calorie need; Harris-Benedict equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It gives me the number 1775 (1479 x 1.2) and drops around 5 units after each pound lost. The calculator you linked to says 1720 cals so it must be...

Walking, cycling and lifting weights.

You have a good reason and plenty of time, you can do it!

Oh it will :D... good luck!

Keep at it :)

You have probably reached a maintenance level. You need to gradually lower your intake as the weight comes off.

Here's an article that explains it: Of Whooshes and Squishy Fat | BodyRecomposition - The Home of Lyle McDonald So, no worries it'll come off soon :)

If you choose your food wisely you can live on a pretty low calorie intake and still feel good :).

Since your doing this long term I suggest you reduce your calories by at least 500 per day. After a week you've created a 3500 calorie deficit (500x7), which means you'll lose 1lb of body weight. In order to do this properly you need to find out what your current daily calorie need is (BMR x 1.2).

Fantastic job on the weight loss :D. You clearly understand this whole thing very well. It's just 6 weeks and it's all about spending the calories on the right type of food; which I am as long as I stick to my schedule. I'm having 4 regular size meals per the day which suits me fine.

I do get some fibre from the porridge and there's lots of calcium in quark :). If I do start feeling unwell I'll add more food in my diet though as I don't plan on suffering lol.

Well done!! Yeah, as long as it's just for a short period of time it's fine really :).

If I go back to my previous eating habits I'll gain it back yeah, but as long as I keep track of my calorie intake I won't gain anything.

Weight loss only stops when you reach a balance between calories in and out. Metabolism always slows down during weightloss because you don't need as much energy as before, it doesn't stop completely though. I know I should lift some weights to minimize muscle loss... but I tend to get so bored...

To maintain my current weight I should eat around 1600-1700 calories a day according to the Harris Benedict Equation. Since I want to lose around 2lbs per week (healthy pace) I need to burn 1000cals/day.

Edit: Starting part 2 now by trying out a version of "Intermittent Fasting" - 15 hours fasting with a 9 hour eating window. Will be eating around 600-1000cals a day and do a bit more exercise than before - V 2.0 Intermittent Fasting ... Got a few extra pounds to get rid of and my first goal...

"I love you, man" ...pretty boring movie though.
