  • Core- I store it right under my bra strap to just above my hip bones and it doesn't budge. If I gain or lose, it goes on or comes off my boobs or arms.

  • I swear if I did not eat chocolate every day, I would have never lost weight! I crave chocolate and a cup of tea after my dinner. I either leave room for it or wait an hour after dinner when I'm not stuffed then sit down and enjoy 4 squares of dark chocolate or a small bar of milk that's about 120 Cals. If I didn't do this…
  • I don't remember an aha moment as I was always fat and never liked it and often thought about or intended to lose it. I lost a few pounds without trying just walking too and from college. I felt better about myself and was cocking for myself as I had moved out and decided that it felt so good I'd make a conscious effort to…
  • Half a stone is just what I want to lose, count me in :)
  • Mine is usually Bell peppers Brown rice Chicken breasts or quorn chicken pieces Frozen prawns Carrots Mushrooms Garlic Broccoli Sugar snap peas Bananas Milk (for tea) Eggs Half loaf of brown bread Porridge oats Dark chocolate Humus Crackers Then there's stuff that's always in the cabinet such as soy sauce, spices, sweet…
  • If you don't get enough sleep you definitely won't lose weight and your grades and mental health will suffer IMHO. If I were you I'd focus on food for the remainder of the school yeah and take up working out when the summer holidays come.

  • I was always a chubby child and was heaviest at 16 (probably over 13 stone), I started losing weight at 18 and now at 21 I'm under 10 stone and 3 sizes smaller. What nobody told me is that my parents won't recognise me from a distance or in large crowds
  • Yes, give or take 100 calories or so. Sometimes I was 100 over, others 100 under. I eat the exercise calories if I was hungry or there was a particular treat I wanted, I didn't make myself eat them. I followed calories purely as a guideline on portion control. In my diary I was often not sticking to the calories as I…
  • pics aren't great as I have very few photos of my body thanks to too many selfies! first pic is aged 18 when I was approximately 13 stone (not sure as I would not weigh myself). Second is at age 19 weighing roughly 12 stone. Lastly is me at 21 weighing 9st 9 pounds. Hard to tell in these pics but I'm a UK size 18 in the…
  • I totally agree on working some chocolate in every day! I get a serious craving for chocolate every day after my dinner. I wait a while and have a cup of tea either with 29 grams dark chocolate (about 120 cals) or a purple snack (110 cals but higher in sugar). During the day when I think about having something sweet, I…

  • Getting enough sleep and not getting up early when I don't need to. Having a shorter day made me eat less. Cut down from two sugars in my tea to just one. Making lunch my largest meal of the day instead of dinner. That meant I burned off what I ate at work. Also letting myself have more carbs any day I was working. I tried…
  • I'm in the same boat as you. I was on mfp and low carb last year, I was 10stone 10 pounds in September and went up to 11st 5 in Jan. Since starting back on MFP I've gone down to 11st 2 and I've just began trying to cut carbs (although I had bread with my breakfast this morning
