Almonds. My local shop that sells nuts etc sells these almonds that are Cajun spiced and onces that are chilli and lime, they're absolutely lovely

You so right. I lost and kept off six stone for years, but just recently half a stone has crept back on. In reality My bmi is healthy, not over weight but I would like to lose the half a stone and get back to where I was. However, it’s so difficult! Yesterday I realised that whilst I get disappointed with half a pound…

The kilo of pick and mix I got given for my birth yesterday lol.

I wanted to shop in the 'normal' part of a clothes shop and not the larger section. Six stone off and I've kept it off for over six years

I love roasted cauliflower, roasted Brussell sprouts and butternut squash yummmmy! :-)

I literally purchased the Chocolate Mint flavour last week and it is lovely! It up's my protein and keeps me full for a lot longer in the morning. I've also purchased the Golden Syrup protein pancakes but am yet to make them.

Peanut butter and cucumber :smile: Marmite and peanut butter ::smile:

I'm having issues, it has synced my workouts since Friday and I just can't get it to sync!! I'm just about to disconnect and reconnect using the laptop to see if it makes a difference

I struggle at this time too. I try to keep around 100 calories back, but sometimes this just isn't enough. I drink a cup of tea, I have a colouring book and do cross stitch. I've also taken to having a Gobstopper, one lasts for ages plus it's takes my mind off of eating the entire contents of the kitchen cupboard :-)

I read somewhere to log fitness through Fitbit only and food through MFP, I've never had a problem :smile:

I've a work colleague who literally takes over an hour to eat her lunch everyday. I think that's excessive lol, it can't be very nice either! She literally chews like an sloth :-)

I have a magazine subscription to The Healthy Food Guide, I absolutely love the magazine and wouldn't be without it. The recipes they publish are easy to make and the portion sizes are huge! I wondered how my partner would be eating recipes from the magazine but even he comments on how big the portion sizes are. Not sure…

Hi! I joined the gym recently and this is what my routine looks like (they set this up for me): 10 run to warm up & get the heart rate up 16 reps on the following machines Leg press Chest press Shoulder press Latural pull down Rower for 500 metres, as quickly as possible (usually manage 2:15) do this twice. Back to the…

I brought some mini gobstoppers lol. I know it sounds silly but they last for ages so take my mind off going to eat something else. I limit myself to one per night, usually in the evening around 9 when I get the munchies :smile:

I'm 5ft 8.5 & 156lbs, I'm aiming for 147 :smile:

I fell the same. Overall I have lost 6 and a half stone and I can still feel fat. It's only when I look back on photos and my friends call my skinny (I don't see myself as skinny at all!) that I realise I'm not big.

Love this quote!

Love this too!!

Love this idea!!!!! I'm so going to do this! A lot of my Fitbit friends are mums who don't work and hense walk a lot during the day. Where I am sat in an office so get a little down about my step count compared to them. I run, go to spin and attend Les Milss Body Attack and Bodystep put just can't seem to get close to them!

Ditto lol

That's great thank you!

I only invested in a Charge HR on Saturday, but I go to spin class once a week so I'll be interested to see if this happens.

no thank you, no thank you, NO THANK YOU! or did you not hear me the first two times! (ok the last bit I do say in my head!) :smile:

I love snacking on Edamame beans and celery celery with hummus :smile:

I too drink tea, plus I do cross stitch and have a colouring book. I find it difficult to just sit in front of the tv, my minds always wonders to food! :-)

I've just lowered my lose to half a pound and wow I'm loving the extra calories! Mind you I'm not eating them all. I began to really struggle on the calories for a 1lb loss and found myself constantly going over, but now just having those few extra calories for a snack is great I now find I'm.not going over my daily…

Have you seen you can now subscribe to Les Mills On Demand? :-)

I lived away from home for four years, only moving back so I could save for a deposit on a house. Anyway, I had the same problem. I tried to show my mum and dad they way, they are both morbidly obese but I just can't seem to change them. So my sister and I do a food shop for ourselves and cook for ourselves, simples. On…

Trying on an old pair of trouser which are way to big and thinking 'Yeah, this is where I was, look at how far you have come'. I don't know about anyone else, but when I go down a dress size I kind of feel like I haven't lost anything as my clothes are not baggy anymore. However it's the best feeling in the world when…
