And stolen/borrowed chocolate tastes better.

I'm sure your sis wouldn't mind. Do you love her enough to give her your last rolo though? Ha ha! I get the feeling this thread is being taken a bit too seriously. Whats wrong with having the odd treat, even if it was your sisters. Share and share alike hey.

I've had to get my wedding and engagement rings resized twice. Better than losing them off my finger though.

My unintentional exercise activity is when there is a wasp buzzing near your face ha ha 🐝

Yes I agree it is more noticable now I am slimmer. Sometimes my tummy will stick out more than usual and feel a bit more flabby. Thanks for your replies x

Doner meat and chips. Normal size portion around 1500 cals with garlic sauce mmmm

What I do is look at the calories on the packaging for 100g say it's 176 cal. Then weigh what I'm having, say 29g and work it out from there. So 176 x 0.29 = the total will be the correct calories and you can either quick add the calories or make the product you scan to the correct cals.

I have lost cats also. They're like family members. Especially as we have no children. We had 4 at one point. Now we have one left, she's such a character and I treat her like my baby and she adores the attention. I feel your pain. The cat on my picture is the most recent one we lost. She was so beautiful and I miss her…

What has kept me sane in this process of losing and maintaining weight has been not restricting or eliminating any food items I enjoy eating from my diet. Something I didn't know until I joined this site. I always used to think as many others do that you have to eat healthy to lose weight. It's so not true. I eat healthily…

I was really craving something sweet yesterday so I had a large piece of cake with homemade cream cheese frosting. Mmmm so satisfying and I am happy now I have had my treat. I logged it as my dinner as it was a calorie bomb and it was very filling. Its no big issue to me as I was within my calorie goal. Why don't you allow…

Could be from the extra exercise your doing. It will balance out just be patient.

Same stats as you except I'm 13 lb heavier. Strange eh? I do have a largish frame though.

Or fries if your American

Sometimes I have rice and chips with curry. It's lovely what's wrong with that? I also have the whole packet but my point was it's a tiny portion for 2 people so I bulk it out with some chips 😁

Wow the judgypants are back. Thats ridiculous. Nothing to do with them. It's YOUR body.

I carry my extra weight mostly on my thighs. I had a lot of cellulite and rather large 'saddle bags' at the top of my thighs. Since losing 65lb and trying to get my 10000 steps a day my legs are not toned but they look much better. I still have a bit of cellulite and the saddle bags (which I inherited from my Mum) but the…

Meet Mohawk. She never judges me for what I eat. Probably because she's a cat and she wants a bit.

You can wear a Dress of Disapproval. [/quote] Or sanctimonious slacks.

I hate the phrase 'on a diet'. It has so many negative connotations for me. When I was 'on a diet' in the past before I found out about CICO I used to restrict myself foods I enjoyed such as chocolate, crisps etc and thought that I couldn't eat those foods because it would ruin my progress. After restricting myself I would…

Calorie deficit is the only thing that works for weight loss.

Wow impressive! Keep it up fella :)

Ive heard eating oats regularly *can* lower blood pressure. I have hypertention and was on 2 types of meds for 10 years. Since I have lost weight (my diet hasn't changed and still eat some processed food) my blood pressure has come down and I am on only 1 med for hypertension now. Simply losing weight and being a bit more…

Same here (not the vegan part). My hubby is desperately trying to put weight on whereas I am trying to lose the last few pounds (65 pounds up to now lost). Eat smaller portions than your husband. Fill your plate with veggies so you get fuller quicker. He could have protein shakes with or between meals. Give him a beer with…

Thanks for this. I think it will help a lot of people. It took me a while to get used to the fluctuations. It is still frustating seeing the scale jump up but I've found that weighing daily gets you used to those jumps. Taking measurements and how your clothes fit is a better indication of fat loss. B)

So it's been 12 days since I posted my question. I have lost 8lb of the water weight so I am only 2lb up from my original weight. I thought I would post an update in case it helps someone else.

MY food for the day.... I will be cooking it late r..yum :p

Thanks for your reply. Yes I thought that might be the case. Small price to pay since my blood pressure is more normal now.

Microwave rice is meant to be 2 portions a packet @ around 200 cals per portion. Seems quite low in calories but its a tiny portion for one person. Ok if your having chips with it though or a tonne of veg.

I'm from the uk also. I used to take what the nutritional label said but wasn't losing as expected so I started weighing *most* of the pre packaged food I ate. I had a shock a couple of weeks ago. Bought some burgers from iceland. The label said 170 ish per burger but when I weighed them they were more like 280 each. Huge…

Thanks for this. It's a *little* bit reassuring that they are aware and fixing the issue. Just expecting it to happen again next weekend and the weekend after.....
