Drpsamin..basically the have a book where it lists all the foods and their syns value against them. Also they have a book that advises how you should eat your meals. .eg.breakfast u can pick a healthy a and a healthy b option but if u have one of those options say it was rolled oats again in ur day then it counts as a syn.…

This might sound like a silly question, but what does an accountability buddy do? Do they cheer you on, praise you when you are good??

Ah okay, cool. I'm in Scotland too...near Turriff :) Documenting the whole experience would be a good idea and I think it would be great for others on here to read about it.

I haven't ever done a boot camp but it sounds great. Good luck :) Where about are you? How did you work out your percentage of body fat?

Looking back at this and I think now that I must have been have a bad couple of days :( My husband has now joined up to MFP and is being supportive by encouraging me to keep at it etc. I also felt better after I went for a run yesterday even though I didn't manage to run as far as I wanted...but I'm still a running newbie…

Thanks for the responses. Will look into the bulk cooking thing and will check Skinnytaste out. I have already been looking at other recipes online to try and vary my diet but didn't think about bulk cooking. I did not mean to insinuate that folks on here don't have a busy life, sorry if you felt that way...all I was…

Thanks! I attend a class once a week that includes dumbells and resistance work but other classes with this type of work is always on at wrong time/day.

Someone suggested weights in another thread, but I am not keen on doing strong lifts, dumbells I can candle but nothing like what body builders do. I have committed to a 5km run at end of May which I am looking forward to and I am enjoying running as I am getting better at it, increasing my distance in the time I am…

Thanks for replying. Ideally I would be happy at the 9st mark. I am generally trying to eat healthy and a varied diet (as much as I can anyways..sometimes easier eating what everyone else is having) and have increased my exercise and that's all I can do at the moment I think. Food logging every minute detail of my food…

I'm 5ft 3" and weight..I have no idea..I do not trust my scales, one minute it tells me I am 9st 10lbs and the next I am 9st 7.5lbs within seconds of each other. Tried changing the battery and taking readings on solid level surfaces. I am like you..my friends think I am fine, but that's because I have clothes on and I…

I try not to. I try to stick to the allocated calories..but if I'm hungry I sometimes do eat more calories than allocated which I guess would be my exercise calories?

My goal is already set at 1lb/week which takes me to 1,300 calories. To be honest, I was using another app until today which gave me a 1,600 calorie allowance which I was struggling with. So 1,300 calories a day is going to be horrific for me. I attend an aerobic class once a week which does involves some…

Thank's for the breakdown, here's my thoughts for each of your sections. I am trying to lose my mummy tummy and love handles but I can feel my motivation dwindling as it feels as if I am doing all this work for nothing. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying my workouts but I always feel hungry which isn't good as I end up…

Thanks for the link. Most of that makes sense but that TDEE-30% stuff is like a foreign language to me!

Thanks for the advice everyone. :) How long should it take before I start seeing some results?
