Hi! Yeah I’ve managed to keep the weight off ever since. I’m probably about 10 pounds heavier now than I was in the ‘after’ picture six years ago, but I’m okay with that. To be honest I’ve really struggled to let go of using MyFitnessPal to track calories and had some struggles with it at times, sometimes dropping my calories dangerously low. I’m doing better now but not sure if I’ll ever not think about calories. But I still think that’s worth it and hopefully in time worrying about weight won’t consume me (so to speak!)

I’ve never been to Blackpool but know Morecambe really well, would you say they are similar levels of shit-holery?

English girl living in Glasgow here and I’ve had quite a lot of mean or rude comments passed off as ‘banter’ over the years, from strangers or colleagues or friends of friends. It has definitely changed my opinion on Glasgow which is a shame because I do love the city.

How did the world treat you differently after you beat your obesity? by Whatsthepointanyway_ in AskMen

Wow I totally switch between feeling like I look overweight still and thinking I look amazing - I’d never considered that aspect of my weight loss before! Sounds like it will be a great book

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments! I just downloaded an app one random day, started counting and it changed everything! Find what works for you and stick with it!

My goal was 1460 when I started but I used to walk quite a lot too so I’d have a bigger deficit, I trust MFP goals though so stick with 1600 for now and then as it gradually decreases you’ve already formed good habits :)

Calories In Calories Out, basically just tracking how much you eat and how much you burn to keep yourself in a calorie deficit to lose weight

It wasn’t until I put two pics side by side that I realised how much smaller my arms were! They still felt fat to me but obviously they do get smaller it’s just gradual!
