Hi, I joined almost three weeks ago (today is my 20th day) and have lost 5lb so far.
I have been trying to lsoe weight for so many years and have tried so many "diets" but I find that this is the only one that is working for me, maybe because I am in control? I write food plans for the week each Monday, then I shop every Tuesday and rarely stray from my plans. I am still struggling to believe that it has been over three weeks since my last chocolate bar!

I have noticed that I feel much more full off far less food now than ever in my life, but I think this is my issue - I have noticed many people on here saying it can be dangerous to eat below your calorie suggestions. However, I rarely meet my calorie requirements. Today is a great example of this. I exercised this morning, burning off around 400 calories and my allowance is 1540. I did not eat breakfast, simply because I struggle to eat before the gym and when I got home it was time to prepare my lunch. This means that my net calories for today is only 512 and I am stuck in work until midnight with no way of getting food, bar crisps or chocolate from the vending machine. I feel full enough, but I understand this could be quite dangerous.

Apart from that, I couldn't be happier with the website/app and have been suggesting it to everyone!!

So, hi everyone. Feel free to add me, and thanks inm advance for any help you may be able to provide!

You don't want to lose it too quickly or it will go sfraight back on if you over indulge one day.... you are doing fine... keep it up !
