It is a daily struggle, and appears to be one we are all fighting in our own special way. I tend to start a particular diet, WOE etc and make it about 3 or 4 days at the most. I then read about another way of eating, see some success stories and think, yes I'll start that one tomorrow. Then I just go in an all out binge…

LOLOLOLOL - you are a fan of your MIL then hey? :)

Loving all these ideas! I am normally pretty boring. Today... B: ham and cheese scrambled egg( was meant to be an omelette but didnt flip it right) S: spoonful of peanut butter D: Bacon and 2 fried eggs I'll be back on the BPC for brekky tomorrow, love it!

Cold fathead pizza, meatballs, cheese slices, turkey, and kind of meats, stromboli. The list is endless! Or you could just eat breakfast and fast through the day until dinner time :) Have fun, I love being on the water!

Thats great weightloss.... did you follow any particular eating plan or just count calories?

Nice quote. The thing that gets me is what is health eating? Thats where my confusion comes from. "CICO, keto, low fat, don't eat this, eat that, no don't eat that, eat this". It's certainly a confusing world... I'm still trying to find my way :)

I emptied my cupboard too... unfortunately it was into my mouth o_o

Nice work. Family life and stresses do get involved but I wouldnt change it. I am back on train to get healthy, not fit into a pair of denim shorts lol All power to you Soibhan. Add me if you like

I want to lost 40lbs too Mate, add me if you like. Starting today

Seems to be everyone agreeing. I have always wondered this too. I think you just feel better/clearer/more healthy eating real food, as opposed to processed rubbish like Maccas/KFC etc etc. I would much rather a nice healthy Subway... unless I have had a few drinks, then its dirty junk food time! :D

LOL, thats what I did with my puppy and he now has diabetes :(

I have to say I don't really agree with this "Eat like you always have" is the reason why I am here. :)

Aussie here also mate, feel free to add me to keep each other motivated.

Hi - started today, hoping I can stick to it this time. I forgot how good these shakes taste! Coffee OF is awesome!

I read the title and thought I must have written this as I am also a Mark! Add me mate, I have dabbled quite a lot in Keto/LCHF, but found it too restrictive for my lifestyle. I am back on just CICO. I have requested you as a friend. Good luck

I added you, I am done with "diets", This time I'm changing my life!! :)

I have just gone back to android from iPhone, and I'm not sure if it is my phone or not but the app is painfully slow in comparison... and no other apps lag as much as MFP. Its a shame.

You have already lost 42lbs, stick with what you are doing. You look good! As far as workouts with no access to gyms, use nature. Walking, running, bodyweight resistance (ie push ups, sit ups, dips). You will find heaps of resources on youtube. Amazing how relaxing it is to walk/run along the beach, in a park etc. Good…

What they said ^^ :)

At risk of sounding sleazy...you are stunning :o

Parm crusted Parm - sounds like it would be as good as Bacon wrapped bacon :wink:

I found it took a little while to get used to it (maybe two or three cups), especially if you are used to milky type coffees, but Sunny Bunny is right, it is delish, and normally keeps me going up until about 1pm for lunch. :)

Mark from Australia - Aussie Aussie Aussie!....

I lost just over 50lbs (26kg) about 10 years ago and need to lose the same amount again. It's a great way of eating.

Great ideas all, thank you. I still love eggs (fried, scrambled, bacon cups) but when I don't have eggs, I normally just have a Bulletproof coffee - keeps me satiated for hours

Yes Mate, but only started very recently. Feel free to add me, I'm in Australia :)
