I don’t have kids but I do have a crazy-busy job and can empathize that sometimes quick and easy is what you need most. I try to manage busy days by making sure I always have low calorie ready meals in my freezer. I’m a vegan so I opt for Amy’s kitchen, but check out the freezer section in your grocery store and you’ll…

I don’t know what celebrities are eating, but I try to avoid bread. I try not to have it in the house as I have zero self control where bread is concerned! I love it. If bread is in the cupboard I eat whole loaf, yum! If it’s not there I don’t want it and I don’t eat it. So I can totally understand the decision not to eat…

Eating out is really hard, when I am trying to eat healthily I try to avoid it -easier said than done! When I have to eat out I go to Seasons 52, Panera Bread is a good lunch option too it’s probably not very accurate but the calorie content is on the menu which helps me to feel more confident in my choices, I also go to…

I’ve just started eating healthily again. Target 1200 calories a day. Filling up on veggies - I like to feel full so that works for me. I also know the first 2 weeks I’ll feel really fat and bloated. And I know if I just stick with it that in 2 or 3 weeks I’ll notice a difference and I’ll feel slimmer and see the change in…

Oatmeal! Most hotel buffets offer it and it’s usually just oats and water. I’m vegan and travel every week with work, so I spend a lot of time asking what I can eat on the breakfast buffet. Oatmeal is a great low calorie, healthy and filling choice. Add a banana if you like sweet, pineapple is a great option too.

I eat oatmeal everyday too! People think I’m crazy at work, but I love it! 27g of oats made with 3/4 cup of water is 100 calories and fills me up until lunch - can’t go wrong with that! It’s such an easy meal and you can keep a packet of oats in your desk, purse etc. All you need is hot water and you’re set with a quick,…

If you’re a short female (like me!) I think 1200 is reasonable. I aim for this and it usually breaks down as: Breakfast - 100 kcal - packet porridge oats cooked with water Lunch - 300 kcal - tinned soup Snacks - 200 kcal - 2 x 100kcal snacks usually pretzels and popcorn Dinner - 600 kcal- usually protein and mountains of…

I just turned 40 (eek) and have 15ib to lose. Was very happy with my weight for several years then I started a new job and put 15ib on working late and eating rubbish. Starting a new job in a couple of weeks and determined to lose weight not gain it this time!

I’ve been vegan for 20 years. Trying to get back on the healthy eating bandwagon! Always glad to connect.

Because it is better to understand why then just see a number on a screen. If the person posting wants to take control of their weight loss. I believe understanding the basic process will help, and they don't seem to, but you're welcome to disagree!

Work out your TDEE (google it) then start logging everything you consume. Use a scale. Don't guess. Do that for a week or two and you'll soon see that you are consuming more calories than you use each day- that is the only way to gain weight. It doesn't matter how "healthy" the food is you'll still gain weight if you eat…

Check you're weighing and logging everything. Loosing weight is just maths, take in fewer calories than you burn and you will loose weight. When you start doing lots of excercise it is really easy to get lax about watching what you eat. You maybe don't log everything so carefully or you have a treat because you feel you…

I'm 5'2 and also aiming for 1200 a day. I lost c25Ib that way. I'm happy when I'm between 110 and 115Ib, things crept up a bit recently because I changed jobs and was just eating badly with all the changes so now I'm back being very focused til i get to my goal. I excercise 3x a week (spinning) but don't eat back the…

Yes. Always. They have calories too. I don't log herbs and spices, but everything else gets logged.

I've been vegan for 20 years, always love to have new friends :-)

Try to change your lifestyle instead of going on a diet. Any diet you cant do forever will fail. You might loose weight more slowly with a healthy lifestyle but you'll find it easier to maintain than a restrictive "diet", so you win in the long term. Good luck.

My diary is open, though my calorie goal is 1200 (I'm short). I cook almost every thing from scratch.

I travel 5 days a week, every week. My trick is to always have snacks in my bag in portions so I have no excuse to make poor choices. I have nuts in 100 calorie portions (buy them pre-portioned or bag yourself before you travel) and raisins in 80 calorie boxes. I like "that's it" bars too and you can often get them in an…

I eat 1200 a day and never eat back exercise calories. Provided I'm thinking about what I'm eating I don't find it hard. I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon snack and desert everyday. If you're finding it hard to stick to your calorie goal think about what you're eating and what foods satisfy you longest. Focus your…

Everyone is different, listen to your body and do what works best for you. Eating 3 meals a day is just what fits round a day job, not how humans evolved. I know someone who eats one meal a day, and another who grazes all day. Neither would work for me but it works for them. I also find breakfast makes me hungry all day. I…

I do exercise but not for weightloss. For me weightloss is all about diet, I'll never spend enough time in the gym to have a meaningful long term impact on the calories I need. Portion control is where my diet goes wrong, if I'm not thinking about it I fill up on oversized portions of carbs. When I'm trying to loose…

The Fenix 5X is more than I want to spend- it would have to be the perfect device for me to spend $600 on it. I wish Microsoft hadn't stopped making the band - its great!

Thanks for the recomendations: -) the VAHR looks great features wise, but it also looks gigantic. Its hard because in the shop you can't try anything on. I am a small woman and just think something with a screen wider than my wrist is going to be annoying- any women out there using the VAHR?

Does it have built in GPS?

Also thinking about the TomTom Spark 3 Cardio - looks like it has the features Im looking for. Has any used TomTom? I didn't know they made wearables!

Im not sure if the VivioSmart hr+ will track my cycle.

VivioSmart 3 looks like its perfect, except it has no GPS which I really want. I went to check out the Fitbit surge again last night and I just can't buy it. It is so big in sure id find it too bulky. So now I am thinking about the Garmin Viviosmart hr+. Does any one here use one? I especially want GpS built in, heart rate…

Thanks for the recommendations, I hadn't considered Polar. The M430 looks really great, but it only seems to cover running and I want something for cycling too. Shame because I like the look of it, especially in orange.

I'm really tempted by the Apple watch, but I don't have an iPhone. Getting a new phone so I can buy the Apple watch feels a but OTT, but size wise it is perfect - so I have thought about it! :-)

I went to a different class this morning and the instructor said i should stop wearing trainers to zumba because they are designed to be nonslip and in zumba you do lots of twisting so you want a bit of movement on the floor. she said I'd damage my knees if I keep wearing nonslip shoes. This makes lots if sense to me now…
