Eating food you enjoy and not restricting anything is the way I chose to go. You have to do what works for you. The phrase clean eating is nonsense to me. Food is food, food is fuel. I kept to my alloted calories and ate what ever I liked. 8 stone lost and been at maintenance for about 9 months now...still eating what I…

Each to thier own I suppose. But for someone querying "why?" you must have watched quite a few to have seen all these couples so you are part of the audience encouraging them to do it are you not?

Rasputin...Boney M

Monday as it keeps me focused over the weekend, and makes me think twice about any weekend treats.

I have done short trips away to visit family and friends as we no longer live in the country we are originally from. My hubby isnt a beach/pool person and needs to sit in the shade, and would much rather my daughter and I enjoy two weeks somewhere hot and beachy while he stays at home and potters about. My mother in law is…

I have coffee syrups to add to my black coffee or low cal hot choc drinks on hand, which I find really helps with the cravings especially if I'm feeling cold and ughhhh with it too. They don't eat too much into my calorie allowance either.

I use the Map my walk app which I have linked to MFP, in my opinion it gives a fair estimation of calories burnt for each walk. It tracks the time and distance not steps. I do the same exact walk each school day and it certainly shows the difference between the walk to school (just me) and the walk home with an 11 year old…

It might be time to take a step back for a day or so and breath...you have lost a lot of weight so far WELL DONE TO YOU :-) You followed the WW plan and it worked, now it doesn't maybe commit fully to CICO and follow it and see what happens for a few months. In my view you are over complicating with all the questioning and…

Unfortunatly I haven't really found anything that eases this, I suffer from Raynauds and other circulatory issues aswell snd the dr couldn't prescribe anything to help. My one saving grace (fingers crossed) is that my mum also suffered with this, and after she turned 50, it seemed to lessen in severity with age. Thats only…

If it's a 750gm packet, then I would read that as frozen weight. 125gms is 173 cals (1 of 6 servings of 125gms) then 1gm is equal to 1.384, 138cals for 100gms frozen weight. Added to that, how would you know how many to cook, if you only weigh them afterwards.

I was not being rude in anyway shape or form. It was a genuine question. In my view, using diet chef for a period of time is one approach to calorie counting. Stopping that and having to plan and cook your own calorie counted meals is something different which you will take time and effort to get right. Why not do that…

It's NOT pancake day!!! It's Shrove Tuesday, a religious day either make them and enjoy them or don't bother...ash wednesday the day after!

Just curious, but do you plan to be catered for by diet chef for the rest of your days? How much alcohol affects your weight loss will be the least of your problems if you have to start all over again managing your own meals, if catered meals ever have to stop for whatever reason.

Been using map my walk for almost 12 months, never had any issues. Always posts an update on to my news feed. It was an eye opener to me as I walk much fastet than I knew! Make sure though to keep updateing your changing weight in the profile section of MMW as weight updates on MFP arn't synced with the walk app for some…

We eat the same meals, food and snacks. I just eat less than hubby does. Thats the way it has to be to keep me at my maintenance. If I want it I eat it, I just count the calories and never deny myself any thing, just because it might be high calorie or unhealthy if it fits my daily goal I have it.

I did SW many times over the years, back when it was red and green days. So I can't comment on the current plan. But I lost weight and got to target every time, but I was never able to maintain it. For me trying to fit the SW plan around family meals became downright miserable and I ended up even bigger. I can't stomach…

Boots the Chemist have them, usually ones that print out the weigh in result.

My MMW adds on a calories burned adjustment after my first walk of the day, but it only shows the actual walking calories burned in the info on the top of the page goal - food + exercise = remaining. The extra is only displayed in the diary s4ction. However after my second walk of the day (school run home) the added…

Choose which ever way works best for you, just stick to that going forward.

5'8 SW was 256 GW 147... Achieved GW about 4 months ago and maintained since on about 1650 cals daily. Went from UK size 22/24 to a UK size 10 and I feel fabulous :) so to everyone at the start of thier journey, good luck, you will not regret making this change to your life.

Don't forget the free wheeling on a real cycle, coasting along down a slope. Not an option on an indoor bike.

Harsh perhaps BUT you do have control, it's you who puts the food into your mouth, clean eating is nonesense, food is food, calories are calories regardless. Good luck to you when you do get your own place, but will your excuse then be struggling with a mortgage payment can't buy "clean food" cheaper stuff makes me gain…

Handing my young daughter her christmas gift, an outfit much to small for her, and saying if it doesn't fit you can give it to your cousin (her other grand daughter) christmas spirit my *kitten*!!

Looks fun, might give it a whirl :) :)

As most have said eating the way I do now is how I will eat for the rest of my life. No food is off the menu, I just eat to my calorie allowance. Little things that keep me focused, motivated if you want to call it that...being able to move more, do more, feeling so much healthier, a whole new world of clothes for the…

Over 80lbs down and from a Uk 22 to a size 12 ( even that size starting to feel loose now) but when ever I get something new in my new size I always sort of tug at it and need reasurrance that it doesn't look too tight. It's a good job my hubbys patient and understanding and keeps telling me how it is..."no its not too…

I have tried to join by clicking the link, but keep getting an ...unable to load, unknown error message :/

Add me please 5'9 46 years old CW 149 GW 147...almost there, but still need acountability and general chatter to keep me motivated

Thanks everyone, I did just add a small amount of apple juice calories in the end. I think sometimes I over complicate things when I don't need too.

Using my elliptical helped me to tone my body as it got smaller as I calorie counted, and it helped me achieve a nicer leaner shape, but muscles, no.
