  • What's confusing? Is it the use of the , rather than the . in the numbers? It's common in parts of mainland Europe but confuses the rest of us that use the decimal point!!! This carton does say values per 100ml at the top. Then gives kcals, fat, carbs etc. Just like any other label just with many languages. And your peanut…

    in Lost 40 lbs, look the same, feeling hopeless and discouraged Comment by granite_peapod June 2018
  • I've lost approx 70lbs and although I've been buying smaller clothes throughout and feeling great, it's only in the past month that I can really 'see' the difference in myself when I look in the mirror. It was some holiday photos that brought it home. I was truly surprised how happy and 'normal' I looked! So stick at it.…

  • Im the same height as you and roughly the same age. Desk job and commute by car so I've set MFP to sedentary and it gives me 1570. If I hit over 8000`steps' on my fit it I eat back about half the extra calories, sometimes more. I started heavier than you and did 1200 for a while and dropped 1lb plus a week but felt awful…

This week I randomly bought Hovis protein bread and it was 66 cals a slice but tiny slices (kept thinking I should have triple decked my sarnies hehe) and overall,…

  • Ditch them! I've sold a lot of nice dresses on eBay and used the money to buy new clothes, mostly in sales, eBay and supermarkets with the occasional more pricey item. There comes a point when you just can't wear clothes that are two or three sizes too big and I WIll NOT be needing them again,! Having clothes that fit me…

  • There is a lot of 'friendly moments' happening at my work right now and mostly involving shop bought cakes and I deal with it by feeling proud of myself for not stuffing my mouth with all that fat and sugar cos in the past I would have been first in line and back for seconds! These days I'd rather save the calories for…

  • I feel you! Yesterday someone at my work complimented me in my weight loss, asked me how I did it, agreed enthusiastically with CICO and said it was the best way to do it, then told me they had gained 2stone because they ate too many Strawberries over the summer cos they are full of sugar and sugar makes you fat. I suspect…
