Hopefully that may help!

Dont give up hope, i had the same problem, i got stuck at 13 stone, but then upped my training and started paying more attention to what i was eating and it started to come down again. I then got stuck at 12 stone lol.

Im working very hard now and the results are amazing. Im very pleased.

Christmas weight - 11 stone 6.8llb
current weight - 10 stone 12llb
Body fat is 27.4%

I only have 4llb to go to hit my target weight.

WOW Purplevamp, sounds like you have lost a lot of weight! Well done you. And with 4lbs to target, you have almost done it

Do you want to tell us how much you've lost in total?

Well the heaviest i started at a few years ago was 15 stone 8 llbs, so i was a tad large.
I have gradually but slowly lost it over the years but like some you get stuck at certain points along the way.
It all comes down to constantly having to change your diet and excersise programme to shock your body into getting working again lol.

At the moment i am excersising 6 days a week, alternating between the gym and running, Sundays is my rest day unless im doing a charity run lol.

Its hard work but very rewarding.

Chapeau girl, bravo!

Thank you hehe.
Like i said it takes a lot of hard work and determination but will happen if your seriouse about it.

Can this thread also incorporate people who are trying to replace the fat with muscle?

One tip I found while snooping around some of the millions of fitness sites on the interspaz was to not weigh yoruself that often and not get hung up on your current weight and target weight.

Instead focus more on how your appearance changes. So look in the mirror instead.

Not sure how much this applies to weight loss as I think it's more for muscle gain.

Judging by the scales at the gym I'm around 80-85kg, or I was when I last checked a couple of weeks ago.
I'm 6'1" and looking more to replace the fat with muscle than just lose fat.

I'll have a pop at that website when I get home.

I've been following Mike's calorie counting website and I've upped my milleage on the turbo trainer. I've been doing 1hr 30 minute sessions, except for last night where I only did an hour as my legs a tired.

Weighed myself this morning and I am quite pleased with the results

Start Weight = 14st 10lbs
Previous Weight = 14 st 8 3/4lbs
Previous Weight = 14st 6 1/2 lbs
Current Weight = 14st 3 3/4lbs

2.75lbs off this week.

Target weight = 13stone

Also started using that food focus site and after being stuck at 15 for ages, it seems to be falling off now.

Start Weight=14 st 10 lbs
Target Weight=13 st
Current Weight=14st 4 lbs

Seemed to have lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks, just gotta hope i can keep doing it

The only problem with all this weight loss is clothes not fitting anymore.
Me and Paul have just had a Major clear out and half our clothes are now too big and being charity shopped.
However i have some fab corsets etc that i will be selling. I will list them on here, so any of you sexy girlies can have a look to see if you are interested.

But the flip side to that is fitting into clothes that were a bit 'snug' (or downright too small!) again.
