Spent 6 months training in the gym with a pt, never lost 1 lb and I had 30 of them spare! However my shape did change and I got much stronger.

Congratulations and well done you should be very proud.

Me too! 5'3" Cw 162 Gw 137. Would love some company :)

Yep, I can't wait to buy new clothes and not feel like a frump anymore!

Same here @leejoyce31 I wouldn't eat chocolate any other time of the month but in the days up to my period I could eat my body weight in the stuff!

Yep, I've been hungry all week so I knew my period was on its way. I had some biscuits the other night and last night I has some chocolate, funnily enough I felt full much sooner than I would have before so was able to stop and put them away once I felt satisfied. My weigh in was this morning and I'm up 500g I'm…

Yep, life has a habit of kicking your *kitten* now and again. I had been trying to lose the same 30lbs for 5 years. In hindsight I had a lot going on during those 5 years so I just couldn't commit, Focus, follow through etc. The recession, losing a business, owing the banks money, setting up a new business, working 70 hour…

I echo the other posters and add why not eat real food that will satisfy you more and be nutrionally better? You could have eggs, mushroom, spinach on 1 slice brown toast for the same value as the bran. And that's just breakfast! Protein and salad for lunch. Protein like fish, chicken or turkey, stirfry veggies for dinner.…

This is a good idea!

5'3" This is my second week using mfp. Sw: 75.3kg Cw: 73.9kg Gw: 65/63kg I'm quite curvy and carry muscle as I have exercised all of my life in some form or another. It doesn't actually suit me to be at the lower end of my recommended weight so will see when I get to 65kgs if I want to lose anymore.

After dinner brush your teeth, drink water. Get up and do something, set yourself 1 hour of TV watching only!

Not as carbon heavy as pasta and bread!

@confused about what??

Sorry lost half my post. Anyway... I've weighed and measured everything. I have measuring spoons and cups and a little digital scale. I eat the same food but stay within my daily goal. I cook from scratch and eat fairly healthily anyway but I was still eating too many calories per day. I've lost 1.4kg first week and am…

I restarted mfp last week. I've done none of the things you have done. No exercise other than walking the dog for the obligatory 30 mins daily. No water, it's too cold at the moment I can only drink water when it's warm. I've still eaten bread, pasta, chocolate and biscuits, I've had wine

You need to bulk out your meals with more veg/salad. For me the more carbs I eat the more carbs I grave, same with sugar. Are you prepping, cooking your own food? If you are relying on packaged foods they are loaded with sugar, salt and a pile of other nasties. Fresh healthy foods is the only way to get the cravings and…

Foo yung is good, or prawn chop suey with boiled rice. Half portions of your favourite is also a good way to enjoy Chinese treat.

Hi I'm skinnymam as above. I log on my phone so it's this name I use! As I said not much of a poster but my diary is there for ideas etc. Lost 1.4kg first week. Hoping for 1kg this week.
