Nope! I have a big appetite, particularly at dinner and I just don't find 2 slices cuts it. I don't buy takeaway pizza anymore as it is just so calorific, so opt for either frozen pizza or I make my own, but I'll eat the whole thing. I stick to the lower calorie ones, or if I'm making my own, limit the cheese and use…

Yep, 5'4" and I'm at my goal weight of 126, but really disappointed with how I look. I'm going to aim for 119 for now and see how I feel where I get there. Absolutely minimum I will let myself go is 114 before focusing solely on exercise, but will also introduce weights. Fairly sure the problem is I only started exercising…

Mmm, love scallops! I've only ever had them in restaurants before but have just bought some - I was planning on making a starter with a small portion of saffron risotto each in the shell, and topped with the scallop - not quite sure how ill do those yet, probably something simple like quickly cooked with squeezed lemon and…

I do the same sort of thing. I will weigh everything that goes in, and split it in half between our plates. Either I make something extra for the other half in addition or do different sides. Salad on my plate for instance, and a small salad and chips on his plate.

0.7 - 26" waist, 37.25" hips.

I started at 10st 9, currently 9st 1, and aiming for about 8st 10. Will be looking into body recomposition from there as I'm pretty happy with my size, just need to lose some fat and tone up. (I hear it's very slow so not really looking forward to that bit, haha)

Another recommendation for the Shock Absorber Ultimate Run! Really supportive. They're on sale in Debenhams at the moment too. (Oops, sorry - computer had a silly moment and this appears to have posted twice!)

Height: 5'4" Weight: 127lbs Thigh: 21.5" Calf: 15" Body Fat: 25.7% Happy to have found this post! Always been really self conscious about my chunky legs but it would seem they're much more normal than I realised having read through! :)

I've not changed size much on the top half, but have gone down a couple of sizes on the bottom half. I've been getting a couple of pairs of trousers as and when the last ones are looking too big from charity shops. You often get things in really good condition, sometimes even with the tags on at a fraction of the price new.

No, when you alter the recipe, the previous logs stay the same as they were.

Right now my favourites are cubed melon with 100g alpro coconut yoghurt and 25g trail mix (dried banana, coconut, mango and raisins). 45g granola with 100g greek yoghurt and berries. Mushrooms and tomatoes on toast.

I'm the same, I don't follow recipes, and nothing ever ends up the same. If its something totally different, I'll start fresh and create a new recipe, but for example if I were making a beef stew, I'll log it with what I put in first time, and when I next come to make a beef stew I will just edit that one - remove whatever…

It does sound like she's jealous you've gotten to the size she's struggling to get to. You're at a good weight for your height, and a size 10 is not too small. I would stick to answers that are to the point, but not rude "I'm happy with my weight as it is" "I would love to finish it off, but I'm full - I couldn't possibly…

Personally a no for me - but that's because I've never liked the food at fast food places. I do eat out at restaurants occasionally though, you've still got to enjoy yourself sometimes!

Fridge: Skimmed milk, low fat greek yoghurt, fruit yoghurts, sandwich meat including chicken chunks I can quickly throw into a salad, light dairylea, light mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, whatever greenery I fancy that week, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, often peaches or…

Starting BMI: 25.7 Current BMI: 21.9 Goal Weight BMI: 20.5

Bad: Cereal - I couldn't believe what a "serving" really was!! Good: Potatoes! I always thought you would get less for your calories so was pleasantly surprised by these. Veggies too, I have always overestimated the weight.

My waist is 27 inches and stomach is 31 inches

I just created my own exercise for it - having googled the calorie burn, its supposed to burn about 7 calories a minute. I recently got a heart rate monitor so checked with that, and that came out as 7.6 calories a minute, so hopefully not too wildly far out!

I'm 5'4", started at 149lbs mid last year - lost some of the weight but fell off track, so back on it in the last couple of months and currently down to 129lbs with a goal weight of 119. I found 1200 difficult at first thevolp, but did get used to it - I just had to be strict with myself for a while. Pre-logging really…

I generally have greek yoghurt with granola and berries, or mushrooms and tomatoes on toast. I'm planning on making some breakfast muffins as a little change.

I go between salad, homemade soup, topped Ryvita crackerbreads, a wrap, a sandwich, or leftovers from the night before. Lettuce wraps are lovely :)

5'4" SW: 149lbs CW: 131lbs GW: 119lbs (I have a very petite frame!)

I'd love to know too! I'm continuing to eat at a deficit and exercising until my weight is as low as I'm happy with on the top half (being a pear by the time my legs are slimmish just on diet i look skeletal on the top half), and then upping to maintenance and looking into body recomposition I've seen a few threads about.…

That's an amazing difference!! I'm 8 days in - must admit I've eaten pretty badly the last few days so I actually look bigger than my starting photos, but that's my fault. My skin is looking good though and definitely feeling stronger. Just need to get my eating back on track and hopefully will start to see results too!

I used to have a lot of trouble with this. Biscuits and cakes constantly on offer and they start talking to you until you cave..! I was strict with myself and kept telling myself no, and after a little while just got used to not having them - I don't even find them tempting anymore. I have my days food with me and that's…

Breakfast - 100g yoghurt, 45g granola and some berries - (around 300 calories) Snack - Pot of Fruit (about 100 calories) Lunch - Ryvita Crackerbreads topped with something like tuna mayo and cucumber / ham, dairylea & cucumber or Philadelphia and chicken. Or a salad (eg tuna & Edamane bean or chicken and avocado) or a…

Ah I'm pretty rubbish at that one too - no coordination!! Even so, it gets me moving and out of breath so must be doing some good!

My favourite is Lidl - good prices, I find the veggies last for longer and you get some different meats in there. I generally end up shopping in tesco though because its close.
