  • Everyone’s food looks delish 😋 Mine: Banana and egg pancakes with grapes and f/f natural yog with cinnamon on for breakfast Homemade chickpea burger with cottage cheese stuffed baked potato skins and a big salad. The burgers were gross though- will not make again! 😂🙈
    in What do your meals look like (show me pictures).... Comment by Seraxil September 2018
  • If you’re looking for something quite intense I enjoy the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels. I have the dvd but I believe it’s also on YouTube. It only takes 20 mins and we can nearly always fit that it! Plus no matter how beat you feel, it will be over soon! If you have access to a pool, swimming’s also great. Enjoyable…

  • Glad I saw this thread. Recently got back in to swimming and really enjoying it. I’ve only managed to go twice due to a child who gets very upset if I go without him! And a hubby who works evenings so once son’s in bed- I can’t go!! First time I was testing the waters, so to speak XD. Had a little swim and a feel for…

  • How can I get this ice cream?! I’ve had a google search and it’s only in Wales? :( Edit: just found halo top that debtay123 mentioned is available at my local Tesco. How have I not seen this before?!!! 320 cals PER TUB?!me and hubby could binge eat a tub of ice cream together for 160 cals?!
    in Tips for low calorie snacks for the evenings Comment by Seraxil August 2018
  • I second that! I’ve only been counting cals for about 11 days ish and for the first 6 I was fine. Now I’m starving!! Luckily, I was ‘doing fine’ and not eating all my cals so now this extra hunger can be solved with my remaining calories that I wasn’t eating before. Also, as people have said, weighing is important. I…
    in Having hard time eating calorie intake Comment by Seraxil August 2018
  • Thanks! Guess another item on my ‘to buy’ list is a tape measure :) As for HIT training, I’ve been doing the 30 day shred a few times a week along with a couple of long, moderately paced walls with the dog and a long swim. Although I’m still only on level 1, will that workout give me the HIT benefits? Thanks 🙏

  • I didn’t realise I was craving this much food hahah.
    in If it didn't have calories, right now I would eat... Comment by Seraxil August 2018
  • Confession- I’m yet to buy digital scales for weighing myself! :0 we have normal scales that I took from my parents when we moved out. That’s next on my to buy list! Then I’ll weigh myself more regularly as you say and maybe get an average once per week instead of just weighing once a week. I can’t wait to notice when I…

  • I actually think I set it to lightly active as I’m a teacher (but on summer hols at the moment!!) so that’s something I could change! Thanks you. Vonny198334: I’m so glad you said this. I’m currently in my ovulation ‘week’ atm and had no idea I could be retaining water due to that. I’ve felt really bloated the last couple…

  • Spliner1969- thanks for that. And I wouldn’t have even thought to make sure my cals reduce as I lose weight (duh!) thanks! Hesn92 and kdbulger - thanks a lot for the encouragement :smiley: Middlehaitch- I suppose I kind of just though exercise cals were a bonus so wasn’t too specific with them, but you’re right. Just like…

  • This thread’s great! I’m a teacher and am the fat one in my department (of course no ones said it!). I want to be the one with the great body! And the kids have no filter so i wouldn’t hate it if they also noticed- so I’m my longer the fat teacher! 👩‍🏫
    in What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight? Comment by Seraxil August 2018
  • ^ thanks for that really detailed info! 😁 and I don’t think time of month should be affecting me atm but that’s a good thing to look out for. Over the next few months I’ll keep an eye on any patterns- thanks for the heads up!
    in Maybe a little impatient? Comment by Seraxil August 2018
  • I was wondering the same thing! Although I don’t think I’m nearly as busy as you, I’m a teacher here in the UK so currently have a week of summer hols left. Not sure how I’m going to keep this up when I return what with having a 6 yr old too- if you don’t mind, I’ll add you as a friend and we can keep each other motivated…
    in How do you manage to eat well, sleep well and exercise when your life is insanely busy? Comment by Seraxil August 2018
  • I’ll add you if you don’t mind! I have about 60-70lbs to lose- we can do this! 😊

  • ^ thanks for that! I’ll keep going and will hopefully see the results to keep me going soon. Great support like this on these forums will hopefully get through frustrating times 👍🏻

  • Thanks for the support! So you think the rest of the week when I was guesstimating and not weighing it could have caused the weight gain? I ate so terribly before and didn’t exercise at all, so I find it hard to get my head round that even if I was going over my cals a little, I’m still gaining weight quicker than when I…
