When I switched from being vegetarian to vegan (for ethical reasons not health/diet) my weight automatically went down even though I was still eating as much - dairy, especially cheese, has a lot of fat in it so I would think that vegetarians could easily get as overweight as meat-eaters especially if they eat a lot of…

[quote= @fitchriis - Ambitious goals! So far I'm doing well to get in walks most days. @ Janet - yes ambitious but let's see how many I can achieve :smile:

Chrissy, they weren't saying I was pretty, they were saying I had a pretty FACE... its a very American, or possibly Southern way of saying, "if you would only lose some weight..., perhaps you'd actually be attractive." Similar to when someone says they want you to meet someone with a " terrific personality," it means that…

I think that's a great idea because I yo-yo a lot and it's only when I get shocked by my weight & start to diet I can go long times without eating at all sometimes it's as late as 4 in the afternoon before I realise I haven't eaten anything which is very silly of me & I should know bettr as it can be worse for your health…

Thank you :smile: That sounds good advice, you're right 10 calories here or there shouldnt make much difference especially as the calories we use is not going to be that accurate as don't put in every physical action we do (eg walking up and down stairs a lot because I've forgotten something) I started this in 2012 and…

The absolute worst was when I weighed 300+ and the never-heavies would say, "You have such a pretty face!"

Best to all...…

This is a great site but I didn't think it would be advising me to eat more! just got back home from cinema & decided too late for supper, wasn't hungry anyway but when I checked my daily log it said I had't eaten enough and could be harming my health so I ate a fruit yogurt - still under my calories for day but it's not…

Wow Heather, that's an impressive amount of weight to lose, you're a great role model.

Hi, I'm new to this site, my daughter suggested I join as both she and other daughter use it. Goals for June are: 1. to get back into habit of going to gym at least 4 times a week (I had a knee sprain so haven't been for over 2 weeks) 2. lose 4 pounds 3. at gym go to at least 2 classes a week as I mostly just do my own…

Thanks - good idea

Thanks, I have started using on my Mac, I'll download on my iphone now, that'll make it much easier :)

Thanks, I will play around with that. I just found this particular item - there was a choice of size I hadn't noticed.
