I joined very recently and I am happy that I did. I am 21, female, vegetarian, 170cm and weigh 58.2 kgs. I used to be fit at 53 kgs when I suddenly gained weight due to stress and anxiety and also developed hypoglycemia (which is gone now). I weighed 63.4 kgs in July 2015. However, I started really watching what I eat and my activity level this year onwards. My goals for the month of March are:
1) to get my body fat % down from 23% to 21%.
2) to drink more water.
I am happy to have lost 5.2 kgs. I have already given up refined and added sugars of all sorts. The source of fructose I have now is mainly fruits. I have my mid-term exams going on after which I also plan to go for running in the morning three days a week and workout at home the other 3 days. I will most probably keep Monday as the rest day.
Well done for already losing 5.2kg, you're doing brilliantly! That badge looks great on you

Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate
