Hmm that's an odd reaction to have perhaps your allergic to it! I've bought some to try as it's very low in cals and I love carbs so it seems to be a good substitute

Kent here - can add me too x

I think from what others have said to me on here it's very much trial and error! The calorie calculators seem to give me all sorts of different daily cal amounts. I was told to gradually increase your cals by say 100 cals a week until you stabilise your weight x

Arrr how cute is he!! We are thinking about getting a puppy and names I have are; dieago, Hugo, Vader, monty and mylo. And a few others I can't remember lol x

Current weight - 123lb Goal weight - 118lb And maintain Age; 32 Height 5ft 4.5" I don't work out really - just walk kids to school/pre school. And try to do some weights

Haha love this thread! So bum is called fanny in America ?? Haha sorry I'm confused !! In U.K. Spite is a brand of lemonade with lime

Thank you ladies il give them a try too x

It's definitely a personal choice - I'm lacto intolerant but I have porridge for breakfast and slimfast for lunch so I use either lacto free semi or recently used alpro almond milk - love the taste prefer unsweetened version it's a lot less calories which I like to do I can eat something else

I aim for around 2lts a day but I'm not sure if I always have that much I prefer hot drinks much easier in summer x

Or any ideas for substituting for pasta an rice? I eat a fair bit of both but there pretty high in cals

Hey - thank you for the replies - I think the eat water ones are like microwave rice / noodles aren't they? So I don't think u wash and dry them - has anyone tried the pasta or rice versions? X

You can add me if you like I just started dieting again after a 4-5lb Xmas gain

I wish I was 5ft 6inch seems like a better height to me

I try to have just one slice - need to look into lower cal breads really! I try to use the sandwich thins as they are about 100cals they are smaller but I can still have a sandwich or use it instead of a burger/ hotdog bun x

Chocolate - erm I don't I just eat it but within my calorie goal x

See personally I think it helps - I mean having a partner that eats and eats esp high fat foods and encourages me to join in not great lol! But I'm no gym goer and wouldn't want to be in a gym all the time but it's nice to share the taking care of your appearance !

Hi - personally I try to not drink too often - but special occasions and odd nights out and bbqs this summer I've just had a day or two off and then been a bit stricter during the week and found I could still lose weight. X

I'm in uk - Kent specifically, happy to have new uk supportive friends x

I'm always hungry pretty much! I do get esp hungry mid morning after breakfast and in the evening about 2 hours after my dinner x

I'm not sure what normal fluctuations are either, I seem to go up and down a few pounds I think that's why often people set there maint to a range I think mine is 121-123 lbhopefully no more or I know I'm gaining! I'm not very good at sticking to my maint cal goal though and often go over so have some days were I'm under…

Air kiss :)

I have just lost 13lb and want to now tone up more, my legs and arms are getting there - my tummy is a different thing though! X

U.K.

Oh wow that's amazing - lovely to hear a story like this xx

Ben n jerrys cookie dough ....... Oh I'm hungry now!!

I defiantly need music for working out! I like anything from chart/dance/rap/80's x

Hi ya, I'm 5ft 4.5" and have gone from 135lb to 122lb and trying to maintain now. I'm finding it quite hard to get out of diet mode so still loose most weeks but around half a pound - my daily goal is 1510 but I have days were I'm under and then weekends I tend to go out and have meals and alcohol and go way over! I think…

Errrrrrmmmm ..... Everyday!!! I allow cals so I can have some chocolate everyday usually in the evening after dinner! I did whilst I dieted and now on maintaince
