in Health and Weight Loss
I have plateaued for.... about a year now I think. Can't seem to get below 11.5 - 11.10 stone. My goal is to lose about a stone, anymore will be a bonus. I exercise 5 times a week, weights and cardio and I know what I need to do... I need to eat slightly less and a lot better, drink more water and pull my socks up. Feel free to tell me to man the f up and any advice or motivation will be much appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem. I have started to make myself log EVERYTHING, like my coffee creamer. I hate to see the calories in the red so that helps me. Maybe hang a bikini you want to get into or some short-shorts you want to wear this summer or a picture of yourself at your thinnest on the fridge to remind you every time you get something to eat? I like to jiggle my belly when I feel like going over my calories and telling myself that will never come off if you keep eating ha ha.

    Just do it. :)

    No really.

    Just start already. Once you start it will come naturally.

    I'm sure you know already, but you can't workout a bad diet (or one of many calories).

    What works for me is to do a good grocery shop. Then pre-plan days according to what you have in. If I have the food, I eat it. I don't go find it elsewhere. If I'm left to my own devices (especially if I've had a crappy work day) WATCH OUT, crazy lady coming through.

    Agree with above. Start pre-planning/logging your meals and stick with the menu.

    I usually eat the same stuff mostly weekly (you don't have to of course, add some variation if you fancy it). I only keep those foods in the house. That way there's nothing else to eat except the food I'm supposed to be eating anyway.

    Thank you... I'm so bad at cooking. I work from home so I am constantly near my kitchen and a bit of a fridge picker to say the least. I am going to start logging everything from tomorrow. I need to eat a lot cleaner. I am a vegetarian and a lot of my protein comes from Quorn which isn't the best but I find when I am being good, I just eat that and a pile of vegetables for a balanced meal.
