Thanks, Accepted and responded! I really need to get in the habit of weighing and logging again, as well as drinking more water, I've just fallen back into the old bad habits. :(

@snaps27 @mamainthekitchen @flumi_f Thank you all :blush: I'm very pleased :smiley: I'll probably get photos on at somepoint :smile: Well done everyone :smiley:

I've lost 12.3kg (27lb) since october 17th 2015. I stick to a deficit on the other days though but find this easy to maintain started at 87.9kg currently at 75.6kg, Aiming for 58kg.

I'm using this, I find it quite effective, Its a good test of willpower I feel I could stick to it long term everything Emily says is on point with my experiences.

change is good generally provided you are in the right mindset for it. If your mind isnt in the right place then its 10x harder to stick to any dietary changes for the longterm and you are more likely to give up if you dont see the change as quick as you would expect, It takes dedication and endurance to change for the…

I use salter scales, Both for weighing food and my weight, Never had an issue with them and they come with a guarantee!, I weigh daily, first thing in the morning and at night because I want to learn my natural flucatuations inside out by the time I hit maintenance.

This. Weigh and log everything, Also I look at it as I can have that small chocolate bar or a full meal of broccoli and grilled skinless chicken breast which will keep me fuller longer, Its a lot about choices as well.

Welcome to MFP! I find it a really easy app to use, You log every meal into your food diary and change your food choices to keep in your deficit, I weigh all my food and non water drinks and log them all, Its important to drink plenty water, Eat clean and remember its a marathon not a sprint so you wont see results…

I didnt fall to candy but had a bottle of crabies ruby orange, I budgeted for it though so was still within maintenance :)

Thank you :)

I'm responsible for the homebaking and people enjoy it, I find it therapeutic as well. I've made a earl grey lemon raw & vegan cheesecake before, Its not excatly something I can get out of now as it always goes down well and a good bit of revenue is raised from it, Thank you for your suggestions, I never thought about…

I said I bake for events, Events where numerous people come together including those that have health issues and dietary requirements, I dont see what is hard to understand about that? Its not limited to 25-30 females with no health issues or Children only If you have any clue of what an event is you should at least…

You know I dont see why you are being so difficult, If you have nothing useful to add then you dont add to the thread. I bake regularly for my family, My LO I dont exactly want to give cakes full of sugar to because there are no positives to this. At events that I am asked to bake for you have people that also have dietary…

Because my family do? and wheres the harm in having a healthy option to try? people generally like trying new things, is it such a sin in your opinion to try your hand at making something healthier? At the end of the day it doesn't harm anyone.

Oh wow! Thats lovely! I think I'll make one of those as well for a change, Any tips?

I dont generally eat sweet things and dont really enjoy eating sweet things (yes I'm one of those strange people), If thats what you likes to do then kudos to you but not for me sorry, I dont see why I should force myself to eat something when I enjoy a piece of fruit more, Just to fall in with the cake and "I have a sweet…

Oh I'll give these a try! I dont eat cake really tbh not when a banana can give the same sugar boost without the same amount of junk, I dont see bleached flour as unprocessed just like I dont see refined sugar as unprocessed and when I say processed those are the terms I mean. Unfortunately indulging in cake every 2 to…

And me :)
