Fresh crunchy bread , wine gums and any sort of fruit crumble with custard are my addictions !

I did the whole foods not touching thing with some things like a desert and custard had to be in separate bowls but at the same time other meals like a roast had to be mashed up togeater and yet other meals I wasn't fussed about and could eat however . This was when I was a teenager and I don't know when it stopped but I…

Iv set my phone PIN number as my current weight and update it once a week so every time I use it I see how I'm doing both good and bad!

You need kids that mash/ cover the food in sauce so it's so horrible looking you don't want to touch it!

Thanks for the guesses guys I ended up logging it as 1000 although I was standing up and walking so should be minus calories surly?! Yes I had already eaten it so can't weigh it and tbh it looked ( and tasted) so good even if it was 2000 calories I would of still eaten it! Fortunately for the diet im a useless cook so…

It was! Fortunately after eating it I went back pat the stall and the queue was too long to buy more for another day( I was tempted though it was NICE. !)

Oh dear my allowance is 1200! Never mind 2 late now I guess today can be a cheat day! Thanks for the estimate x

I am also 5'2 ft and my goal weight is 10 stone which is a pound or so over healthy in the BMI index so if your goal is to be 8'9 stone then that has got to be at the lower end of the BMI healthy or. Even under weight. It's got to be much harder to get there . Sorry I can't be much help but just thought I'd point this out .

Good luck x

I still have 4 stone 6 pounds to lose and hopeing to get rid of the 6 pounds for jan 1st

How many for shaking 2 reluctant children out of bed every morning? That's enough to break a sweat so must burn something

I must have rubbish taste buds as I can't tell the difference between diet Pepsi or diet coke!

How about not changeling your eating habits but starting to log everything. Seeing how much you eat on a daily basis can be a shock and having to see the numbers on a screen may encourage you to not eat as much even if you haven't started trying to lose yet.

The standard reply is eat your 1200 sedentary calories and half your exersise ones so 300 - 350 making a total of 1500 -1550. Would depend on how accurate your workout calculations are but this would be a good starting place

What happens if/ when kids happen? Would you want him to do this in front of them or even to them? Good luck in what ever you decide, no one can choose for you.x

I think having 0 as a minimum is a good thing, everyone knows it's not ever going to happen so don't try to reach it. If you put it at 50 , 100 or any number that is low how many people would use it as a target with out taking into account height sex ect? The best option would be to personalise it ie your weight now as the…

One of my wrists I can overlap my fingers the other iv got half inch gap! Same sort of difference on elbows so not sure what's going on here! X

I've worked nights for 10 years now and get an avarage of 30 hours sleep per week. It causes me to be over tired and get head aches but I've gone from20 stone to14 stone in the 2 years I've been trying. My main problem is I eat more food and a lot of it includes unhealthy choices to help keep me awake. These last couple of…

Every one has to take the first step so good on you and enjoy your journey to a fitter life. Good luck x

If you would like to cut down on the diet coke how about trying flavored fizzy water? For me it doesn't taste like water that I also hate and I get my bubble fix! Most are no calorie or 2-3 calories per cup but they tend to have less additives than coke and no caffeine . Worth looking at your local supermarket and trying…

About to take the dogs for a walk but the kids want to come on their bikes turning a plesent hour into a big hassle from start to finish :(

Thanks all x nice to know a bit about the " c" word thats slowly becoming a part of my life! Xx

I also work nights and then have the kids during the day so only get about 24 hours proper in bed sleep a week and a couple of cat naps :( I'm always hungry unless I eat 6 meals(3 for each 12hr cycle) so finding it hard to lose any more weight, good news is it means I'm moving around a lot so my activity is high! any help…

silly question but has your personal trainer seen the pictures? only asking as I know sometimes if you wear bulky clothes to work out it can make you look bigger than you are. also surely your personal trainer should be recommend bulking not weight loss? is there other trainers you can use? if its part of a bigish gym I…

so if you were to do 1 of these how do you decide ratios? ie 20;4 , 16:8 ect? are these the only ratios? and is one better that the other? can you make up your own ratio ect? this is just curiosity if anyone can enlighten me :)

just say its only because you are so used to me being fat, simple, to the point and the word fat seems to help people relise that they are being rude!

if you set it for the dog to trot not run then it will need to be a minimum of the length of their tip of nose to tip of tail lengh , have used a standard home human one for my large dogs before (dobberman ) . better option may be to hire a dog walker to take him out for mental stimulation as well as the physical run of…

I count mine as it is a couple of hours fast walking with dogs off lead so they can sniff while I keep going! if I walk 10 mins to the local field and play ball while slowly walking laps for an hour I don't count it same as I don't count the 20 min school run I do 4-6 times a day instead I put my daily activity to mildly…

mindless snacking is also my problem so a few things that work for me most the time :) i know you said cleaning isn't a high priority for you but could you use it as a displacement activity instead of eating? so if your about to snack set yourself a goal to do x amount of hevy cleaning first, best case scenario it will…

figured out a way to do it! had 1 slice of toast and an egg for lunch then rushed out the door to the stables so I had no access to food! leaves me a decent amount for a meal now x
