Like others I would buy online closer to the time. It's way too hard to predict two months out. Good luck :)

Thanks :) I've upped to 1600 calories but I must admit on some days I really do struggle to reach 1600 calories. I find on days I wake up really early it's hard for me to stick to 1600 calories and on days I wake up late it's far too easy to stick to even 1000 calories. I'm' having way, way...

Well done to everyone so far!

I'm already on the slinky santa challenge so I'm going to join in on this one too. I've already lost 19lbs so I'll use that a starting point. JoeyJoJo - (53lbs to lose - 51 to go!) shanny - ( 19 lbs to lose- 16 to go to maintain) Last_Attempt - (Need to lose 33lb to reach goal-5lb gone 28lb...

Looking great Jim, seems your enjoying yourself traveling around the world :)

There's this bread called ROY Bread Lite. It's a type of Lebanese bread, it only has 80 calories in each wrap! Compared to standard Lebanese bread wrap which has 280 calories. Huge difference, I can have 2 of them wrapped over eachother and still end up 120 calories under. Highly recommended.

Yeah I agree. Fat seems an immature term.

I'm surprised how many people weigh themselves in almost daily. I think I would quit dieting if I got my results daily. A week does seem like a long time but I enjoy seeing one bigger number then lots of small numbers.

I boosted my calories up my calories this week to 1600 had one day where I hit 2000 but I otherwise average ~calories/per day for the week. I lost 1.1KG/2.42LB's this week and that caps off week 5 :) Is it a healthy weight loss rate at 1kg a week at my weight?

That clocks off July for me. 11lb's lost during July :)

It's good to know, I guess the plateau is inevitable just have to learn to deal with it.

This is one of the funniest yet coolest NSV's in this thread.

Today my sister told me I had lost a lot of weight and it's very noticeable.

I personally weigh myself once a week. I've seen a few people on this forum who say they weigh themselves daily. I would be very discouraged if I weighed myself daily I think. So how often do you weigh yourself? Do you try to weigh yourself under the same conditions each week? I weigh myself...

I wouldn't go for a book. They're a bit too labourious for such things. I personally use loseit(google for the link). It's great, has calroies for almost everything. When I don't find something I simply google it, e.g "How many calories in X FOOD" X being what ever food/drink you're trying to...

6 stones already. Very impressive, keep it up! When I lose 6 stones I would have reached my first goal :)

I hope so, I really do. I'm sick of being obese. Do you know why you hit a plateau and what did you do to get past it? How late into your weight loss did you plateau?

Interesting list though I can't see Broccoli satisfying my sweet craving, lol.

Go for it! The more people in the challenge the more exciting it is :D Would be great to see everyone in the list slowly shrinking as Christmas comes along :)

:8855: Here I was thinking poor young girl only to find out she's 23 LOL.

Still winter here in Australia. I hope I can have a very different summer for next year as well! Congratulations on your loss.

You were very good looking before and you're even better looking now. Awesome effort to get there.

What an amazing achievement. Inspiring transformation Jim.

Words cannot explain how inspirational you are. Such an amazing achievement.

I have now been calorie counting for 34 days! I have never stuck to a diet for this long in my life. I feel like this time it will be for real. I feel like I can go all the way this time. Some amazing achievements in this thread. Kernow Jo, 117lbs is absolutely phenomenal. Fantastic work!!

Congratulations, an awesome effort. I yearn for the day that I am no longer obese and just over weight. If things stay on target, 6-8 months from now I could be joining you in the overweight category :D

This is a thread which I thought would be interesting. There's no doubt that some people treat people differently based on their looks/weight so I was interested to see what people thought about this. For those who have lost weight, have you been treated differently after your weight loss...

Hey nice to meet you :) I have in fact started a diary. I use loseit to track everything I eat and to stick to a calorie budget. It's working well so far and it's very nice to go back days or weeks and see how I went.

Being able to play sport competitively. When I do 8 hour shifts to not have sore feet by the end of it. Being happy and confident! Last but most importantly, being healthy :)

Thank you very much. I am truly, very determined. I have never had such a clear determination or goal that I have wanted to achieve in my life. With every passing day of "dieting"(healthy eating I prefer to say) my determination just grows stronger. This seems like such a supportive and...

Hey Minimins members :) I'm kimlo(not my real name) and I've been overweight my whole life. Through out all of primary school and most of highschool I was bullied about my weight. I've never had complete confidence in my self and always had a low self esteem until I got older. I don't want to...

I love this thread. For me it's an average housecat and a chihuahua

Funnily enough Brisbane haha. CC'ing is definitely a challenge in AUS because besides the big chains pretty much no restaurautns have any calorie information so it's a lot of guessing. I simply stay away from any food which I don't know the calories for. Anything that's packaged always has...

Well I don't really go the supermarkets so I don't see many :P Every pizza calories I've looked at is 2000+ the thin bases are around the 1500 mark which is a lot better. I might go the shops and see what they have, might be able to have pizza again haha.

That's some very useful advice. A lot of friends always eat take away when we go out but these days I just say I ate before I came or I stop by a servo and buy a sandwhich(rather than KFC or Maccas) and so far so good. I'm not restricting my diet so much anymore, I'm not stressing if I go over...

I want to ask for some advice. What's the best way to recover from a bad day? What do people here do to help them get on track after a bad day? Do you just put it behind you, pretend it never happened and get on with your diet? Do you punish yourself my making yourself do some exercise(or...

My goal at the start of July was to lose 10 pounds during July. START - July 1st = 131.7KG/290lb Week 1 - July 8th - LOSS - 1.4 KG = 130.3KG/287lb Week 2 - July 15th - LOSS - 0.6 KG = 129.7KG/285lb Week 3 - July 22nd - LOSS - 1.7 KG = 128.0KG/282lb If I can lose 2 lbs this week I will reach my...

Yes it all does make sense and I thank you so much for putting in so much effort into your information filled reply. It's extremely helpful for someone like me at the begining of my journey to be getting support(like this forum) and advice on what I can do to improve. I will try to...

I've had a really up and down week so some days I haven't been able to eat enough and then some days I've had too much to eat. Not a planned thing just the way it panned out. I dread going to gym :( I'm doing all my excercise on a treadmill at home, maybe I should go to gym to do weights. Is...

Thank you again Caroline for answering my questions in such details. I currently use loseit and have been for about 5 days so I'm tracking all my calories and exercise :) I assume that's pretty similar to MFP. I also got my HRM in the mail today so can't wait to see how that goes during my...

You guys are seriously amazing!!! I can't thank you enough for all the awesome advice you have given me!!! Special thank you to you Caroline, some awesome advice and information. I'm going to buy a HRM as soon as practically possible and make use of it. I've currently budgeted 1500 calories a...

I stopped eating pizza all together once I started my diet(I dread that word). Every pizza has 2000+ calories! That's more than my entire day of food in one pizza. I don't think there's any of this pizzas in Australia but I'm not missing pizza at all, if I really feel like one I use lebanese...

I'm aiming to lose at least 50lbs by christmas, hopefully closer to 60-70. WE CAN DO IT!!! My goal when I started CC 3 weeks ago was to get under 110kgs by christmas(sorry guys I'm Australian so I tend to think in KG's not lbs :P) which is 25kgs/55 pounds. First goal is 15kg/33 pounds, so by...

You guys are seriously amazing!!! I can't thank you enough for all the awesome advice you have given me!!! Special thank you to you Caroline, some awesome advice and information. I'm using loseit.com to track my calories from now on and I'm putting everything in 100% honestly otherwise there...

No I haven't. Is it worth investing in one? Is that the best way to know how many calories I have burnt accurately? According to the treadmill a one hour session at 6k's(which is 6k's walked) it's only like 150 calories according to lose it, it's 550 or so. I wasn't aware that I should be...

Thank you so much for an awesome reply. Very detailed and it really has made me a lot more positive. I guess what you're saying makes sense because even though it doesn't reflect all that much on the scales I definitely can feel my clothes are a lot looser than before. The pants that were a...

Hello guys and girls. To start I'll give a little bit of information about myself and then discuss my problem. I'm a 20 year old male who started at 135.3KG(298lb) and am now at 129.7KG(285lb). My BMI was 42.6 now at 40.9. My basal metabolic rate is 4030(@ x1.55 or 2601) THE PROBLEM - My...
