I am so cookie monster on my cheese n crackers right now! ...but I did bank calories to allow for this this week :blush:

Such a gentle happy looking wee thing, made me smile, thank you :)

I think the key for you is to identify if it is true hunger or emotional as you say. If you are truly hungry - are you eating sensibly? Are your goals setup correctly? If you have recognised that it is purely emotional or boredom (I have this but am changing my ways!!), and not a real hunger thing, then as everyone says,…

Holy cr@p! I'll message you offline...

Congratulations! Well done! I am only 7 days in but your success keeps me focussed, thanks for sharing :)

Substitute the word 'cheat' for 'treat', either way in the context of the post they are intended the same way. I think the point here is that we are all different and we all choose the methodology that appeals to us *as individuals* to achieve goals that we set for ourselves. As for any goal based process, there is likely…

I have wondered the same thing in the past and it led me to give up. really glad you asked this question so I could learn as well

Remember your friend has already worked themselves up to where they are now, and probably worked hard too. You will get there but its like climbing a ladder - you gotta work your way up. Might I suggest keeping a tracker of exercise/weight/reps in each set each time you do it. Then next time aim to do a little better - you…

Oooh hope so!

I am finding the same! Good to know I'm not backwards :)

Haha I do this because I can't be trusted! If its not in the house I can't eat it!

Eat things that are higher in protein than carbs. E.g. Eggs. A dietician made this recommendation to my workmate and the weight melted off and he never felt the hunger. Something to do with protein making you satisfied so you are far less likely to go searching for that 'something' you crave but can never find until you've…

Hey that is absolutely perfect!! Exactly what I wanted!!! Thanks so much :smiley:

Funny!

Thanks I suspected as much. I have to manually calculate this way, but all good

Funny!

Great read! Never heard of this 'Food Babe' but man she sounds like a crack-pot! While I don't have coeliacs, it is in my family and my two small nieces and Aunt do - just a fraction of wheat makes them very ill. And this was diagnosed with biopsy - rather than the prolific self-diagnosis that is very trendy at the moment.…

Heya, wanna join my support group? I am new (day 3 yay) and have usually done this off/on over the last few years with a notebook (weight watchers points) all by myself but having real trouble staying motivated this time around and most of my friends have either moved or are worse than me. I gained quite a bit in the last…

Holey moley look at you! Well done!!... Got any must-have tips?

Can add me too!! I realise being overweight is my own doing and I alone have the power to change that but would be great if I add some like minded people to the journey for motivation and to occasionally say 'hang in there until the craving passes' or 'go to the gym for 20 mins, have a glass of water etc., you will soon…
