The motivation decreases as time goes on. Luckily I have my holiday to Spain in 2 months -thats gunna motivate me

Survey closed sorry.

I've been stuck with tummy fat 50lbs down... I know how you feel!

I'm doing CIZE and I've tried Insanity. Insanity IS really insane though. Good burn all round

salad vegetables - spinach, lettuce, watercress, tomatoes cucumber peppers etc etc alpen light bars low fat yoghurt quorn products peanut butter veggie pizzas bananas, berries, avocados, any fruit hartleys 10 cal jelly pots curly wurlys rice cakes eggs

You are welcome to view my diary :)

That's why I put it in quotation marks.............................................

Put snacks in separate ziplock or sandwich bags or wrap in clingfilm. for example, I get a big back of popcorn and weigh out portion sizes so I'll stick to it. If I prelog it I can see how many calories it is before eating it. Seeing a calorific value really helps if it's a "bad" food.

Also fitness youtubers will often have like a 6 week, 30 day, 1 week etc challenge - which is great for motivation. I stalled for an entire month on 143lbs and I was dieting quite well. Stuck with it and finally under 140lbs. Dont lose faith

Use youtube and do workouts from home - Blogilates has some great ones to strengthen and tone. There's plenty of ones for cardio - POPSUGAR is good for this.

Same here! Went in to Primary yesterday and for the first time in my entire life I was able to get up a size 10. I used to be an 16-18. Good luck with your goals.

I wish you the very best of luck :)

well done all

I ate 1200 cal per day and still often do but have upped my exercise so have a few cheat meals per week. Have lost 47lbs so far add me if u want :)

I have a firbit charge 2 and I love it - cost just over a £100 on amazon. I wear it daily (first time in my life I've worn a watch) and it can even track your sleep. It gives you an estimate of calories burned and I like its style. Its also got a good community on it so u might be able to have friends you can challenge…

Eggs are full of protein, good fats and lots of vitamins, minerals and omega 3 fatty acids

I'd have 3 maybe - eggs raise HDL (good type of) cholesterol.

I have the same issue sometimes. Some of us are too human, even if we are adults. And yes it's better not to cheat/binge/ but s**t happens. I read this and it gave me a different outlook. A bit weird of a writing style but it helped me. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Never-Binge-Again-Permanently-Overeating/dp/151516294X/ The…

Spanish

Same here! I eat carbs but cut out bread, pasta (the pure baddies) and under 1200 cals and down 45lbs. Have started yoga and strength training now, but if u have the energy HIIT does work wonders

Calorie deficit is all that matters to me and a cheat day every now and then

Porridge (oatmeal) is v cheap and nutritious, eggs ditto, rice, curry (u can make a batch and reheat), pasta and sauce also. Tuna pasta with mayo and sweetcorn (this was a college staple), fish fingers and beans (also v cheap). Just a few to try if you're not a massive fan of veg. Keep portions low - weigh everything.

I found a low carb diet too restrictive. I was bored. In saying that I eat what I want, calorie restricted and naturally have low-ish carbs compared to before (I cut out bread for example). But I still have small pleasures like chocolate, waffles or mash potato when I want them. I lost more weight on calorie and portion…

http://www.livestrong.com/article/296783-will-eating-1000-calories-a-day-cause-weight-loss/ I'm unsure I always end up around the 1000 - 1100 kcal myself, but maybe I should eat more. I've bought some protein powder to help with this.

I usually try not to eat back calories earned unless I'm hungry, but that's just me.

Good series but first two series of Black Mirror on Channel 4 is better Also I second Orphan Black Humans is also v good

MR. ROBOT, Legion, The Originals, The Path, The Get Down, Prison Break, PLL, Narcos, Skins (UK), This is England (UK), The 100.

Are you weighing everything? sometimes we think we're eating less than we are. I weigh everything and log before I eat. Also if your losing inches,, u cud be building muscle

How long have you been doing this for? It can take some time, especially since your not overweight to begin with.
