I use Zipvit for vitamin type supplements and MyProtein for sports nutrition. :)

My favourite is beef jerky/Biltong, Low calorie, High Protein. Just expensive lol.

99 calorie Muller Light Yogurt's

I had a binge weekend, an alcohol fuelled junk food weekend. I got back, Weighed myself as usual on the Monday, and got on with it. I think you need to not focus on what you did but what you are going to do. As @joejward95 said "You need to use that guilt to motivate you onwards"

Turn the negative to a positive. You fell off, had a bad day, put on xxx lb... Use it to motivate you to re-lose it and more.

I kicked a shark in the face (Midnight Beast Lyrics for those who may not know)

Congratulations :) I can't remember being in the healthy BMI range, Have been in the Obese/Overweight even when I lost alot of weight last time so a healthy BMI is one of my goals this time round (as it tends to fit in with my goal weight also) :)

I wish I had learned about CICO (Including TDEE, NEAT etc) but at the end of the day I gained the weight for a reason, and that was becoming content after getting engaged. I now am in a place where I want lose the weight to better myself, be more healthy etc. I'd rather be starting now, than not at all. and in my younger…

-4.4lb :) Not quite sure how as actually had a bad week! I've recently changed from st to lb so possible conversion changes in MFP were abit off, or water weight. Either way. I'm 4.4lb lighter than I was logged at last monday so all good :) Brings my Total Challenge Loss to -9.6lb :) Half way there! Good luck all.

I have only cut out one food, and my misses bought me it during my diet and i still ate it. If you want it, make it fit your calories. Look at making pizza rather than store bought pizza, look at eating a smaller portion etc. I Lost 9lb last time I dieted and I cut out alcohol and fatty foods. I then put 7lb back on as I…

I log mine daily, first thing in the morning after my morning whizz for consistency. log it on MFP which forwards to Fitbit.

I bought the Fitbit Charge, I do wish i got the Charge HR but wasn't sure how much i'd actually use / rely on it. I think the social aspect of the App helps to hold you accountable which for me drives me. It also showed me I was doing alot less than I thought I was before i got it!

I try and avoid, but that's not always possible. Last night I had a pudding that I couldn't find any nutritional breakdown for, I deconstructed it and added calories for the individual pieces (as a quick add)

I log my bad days. I even log my weight gains (weigh daily if I'm at home). Keeps me motivated. Last night I had a meal out and an approximated 700kcal pudding. I know its bad so was up at 6am doing 5.62miles!

I got a fitbit and it has definitely helped me. I was previously walking and assuming I did a lot more than I actually did! Now I'm walking at least 7.5k steps a day.

I'm going for a lads night away, but I know my diet will take a hit. My plan: Go away, Enjoy myself, drink what a I like. When i come back? Get straight back on and carry on. I feel you need to enjoy yourself otherwise you will end up binging one day anyway.

To feel better about myself and more comfortable in myself.

I focus more on the parts of the meal I dont like! but generally I've just finished dinner or pudding by then so not really hungry!

I'm in the UK but ordered MyProtein's unflavoured Whey, and also ordered 2 x FlavDrops. 1) Chocolate peanut butter 2) Mocha Mixed with Cravendale Skimmed Milk the Mocha tastes delicious (but i have a weakness for iced coffee which is why i ordered this one).

I spend about £50 a week for two of us. Still finding our feet and trying new things. So not always 1 strict weeks food sometimes get bits for the second week also.

I've lost 2.4lb since starting the challenge, very happy with my progress. Just to keep up the good work!

Yeah, I've seen people say about eating 50-80% of the exercise calories to cover any overestimation in calorie burn though.

Congratulations, Today I hit the under 13stone mark too! I need to lose another couple of stone also but atleast im on the way!

I'm 26 and started with 50lb to lose :)

I will only walk around where I live if I need to go somewhere, however I get to work early and walk around near work. Much nicer area, I think it's about knowing the area you're in.

I have cut back drinking alot, I used to have 2 pints at lunch + a couple of bottles at home, I now have 1 pint at lunch OR a bottle at home. and not everyday either. It is hard to completely cut it out, and with the other things from my previous diet - I tried to cut it out and ended up binging. Moderation for me is key.

I recently got the Fitbit Charge, whilst it is my first tracker I find it very easy to use. There are a few confusing bits on the dashboard e.g. Weight in stone shows as Stone / Pounds but on the Dashboard Weight Loss Progress is shown as % of a Stone lost = 5.7lb being .4st, which was abit confusing at first. but it syncs…

I received mine today! Not yet used, will set it up when I get home however feel free to add me :smile: https://www.fitbit.com/user/3BZT6D

http://www.fitbit.com/user/3BZT6D - I get my Fitbit tonight but i've registered ready for when I get it, so new friends on there would be great :)

If using the Android App it's in the "Progress" part of the navigation menu.
