I’ve followed Slimming World for about 18 months and I lost 4 stone during that time. I really enjoyed following the plan. However, my weight loss grind to a halt and I was not losing anymore, despite cutting down carbohydrates. I began to study about nutrition and to be honest, I can see why Slimming World is not a long…

Thank you! I am not a very active person so I have no idea what the terms mean! I want to start doing it however :) I am still trying to learn how to create a calorie deficit using MFP! I feel like I am going to starve though :o

Thank you. I will check it out :)

Thank you for the link! I will give it a read now

That’s a good idea. I am going to slowly introduce virgin olive oil as well as I have noticed my gall bladder plays up if I eat food that’s too oily :( again, I used to pour it like there was no tomorrow when I was at my biggest! I know my limit after using frylight over the past year up until now.

Thank you. I have food scales as I do weigh out my carbs and fats, so I will continue with that. I’m quite good at eye balling it after a year of experience lol I know my limit of the amount of cheese I can eat, for instance!

I do not see how you are able to burn 1000 calories unless you are doing a HIIT constantly for approx 2-3 hours. You need to eat back your calories to ensure you are getting the right nutrition and food intake. I do not even burn over 200 calories and I am still losing weight with healthy eating. As long as you do high…

Don't beat yourself up about it. Pick yourself up, brush yourself off and work harder than ever before! :D

I have one and it's great :) well worth the money!

I've lost 3lb so far :)

Thanks all. I think I need to change my diet then! Definitely need to lose weight all this hard work will be for nothing otherwise. So its More fruit and veggies on my shopping list.

I Know that I don't eat a lot. I lost weight before so I kind of know what to eat and what not to eat. I think perhaps I need a more intensive exercise regime and really need to see what else I can incooperate in my diet :/ so frustrating.

I am on 1,420 calories a day. Same here, I actually have to eat LOADS of healthy food to reach my calorie goal, including calories earned by exercise.

I know that is why I am ashamed lol

Thank you everyone :)

Thank you. I do weigh myself every Sunday and tonight I am eating at 10 but hopefully it won't make a massive impact.

Wow, you look great!! :)

Fabulous x

I have swapped whole fat milk for almond milk. Fruits instead of crisp (unless they are light crackers, like Kellogs do low fat light crisp crackers. Quite nice actually!) Honey or sweetener instead of sugar Brown bread/pita instead of white Napolina grated cheese instead of mature cheddar Freshly roasted chicken bits…

Thanks everyone :smile: I am really bad with excuses, but it is time to stop it now! and Ready2Rock206 I like that idea of getting my gym bag ready so that I can go straight to the gym afterwards!

I am 4'11''.. Hopefully I will get to post on here soon :) Well done to everyone!
