Hi all sorry to hear struggles too especially mamainthekitchen x I've not been on a light day today and just crave food i've been controlled just hitting the itch you have with a new way of eating. Light day for me tomorrow, hope everyone has a good day x

Hi all, thank you like you say it's down and down is good. We all will have easier days and others feel hopeless. Hopefully still logging what you are eating even if not how you desired will help get back on track and you always have this board for motivation x

Hi all i lost 1llb this week still in the right direction but i thought i resisted quite a lot to hope for 2llb. I have lost 12llb so far and i can feel it and pulled out some jeans from long ago :-) I've had a day of craving sugar and had extra snacks today but stayed within my cals so all is good. I've had a hectic day…

Jknight i didn't know you switch to 5:1 so thanks for that. I'm not there yet but at least i know how to step down. So my daily cals on a normal day are 1300-1600 but my TDEE is 1600-1800 so does this mean i can technically have more cals to play with? I would use that loosely with my mind set as i'm eating enough to be…

Hi all this board is busy this week...yeay... so forgive me if i lose track. We (hubby and i) had a low day today as he is working 3 days away so was panicking about fitting it in lol so i was the supportive wife ha ha. I've taken a liking to dutch rye bread for breakfast, which is soft in texture and sweeter i top it with…

Hi all good day here as i've tried lo dough (a bread alternative that is only 39 cals about the size of a wrap) We made pizza loaded with light mozerella, parma ham, pineapple, mushrooms, spinach, onion, sweetcorn, it was really good and came in around 260cals. Half a pizza is typically 450 and i had a whole one. Which…

Hi all a few busy days. I sorted my problem and devided by poirtons. This diet has made me think about how low you can go and not feel hungry. I had 500 cals today in 3 meals. This will help me rein it in in future. It kinda makes me think about what i am prepared to waste my calories on and what is worth it! Good to hear…

Thanks for the link ryenday i will take a look :-) Sounds likr you are having a good week Meghan and have your wkd sorted. I've had a good day still decorating. Tomorrow is my 2nd fast but glad for it to not fall on a wkd as that is a whole new level of hard for me! What i could do with help with is logging cals in a…

I survived the restaurant without a dessert and my meal came in approx 700 cals. What was hard they put the chips in the middle of the table to serve yourself...noooo! But i was good and i didn't have a starter or pud and my they looked good a whole cabinet full of fresh cakes!!! With an avacado and chicken salad for tea…

I'm 1.5llb down happy but not as much as other weeks but to be fair it's a realistic amount whereas wk1 and 2 were surprising! Total loss 11lbs. Fast day today went well. Poached eggs and low cal protein bread for breakfast then sweet potato, chicken salad for tea. I was proper hungry and moody though before i ate my…

Hi everyone, weigh day for me tomorrow and a fast day so that may go one way or the other lol especially after my wkd. I need to try a few new receipes so shall pop on the other posts.

Hi all, i'm having a super busy wkd helping family move into their new house clocking up almost 20k steps per day cleaning and shifting boxes for 18hrs both days. With routines disrupted and their house upside down i've tried my best to stick to low cal options however both days have resulted in takeaways! I had breakfast…

Yes i thought that jknight. Lovely picture x Yes i actually feel it now meghan and so is my hubby and we feel great because of it. The most change is to my stomach...yeay! Welcome back to feeling human Ryenday! Today has been a fast day and i've been ok. I've found a new style of rye bread that 1 slice keeps me full.

Ha ha true. What do you do if only got to 1100 cals for one of 5 days? Does there need to be a bigger difference for the science to work? Deficit is deficit right? I don't see the point of eating for the sake of it...plus wine is on the cards for the wkd so a 'bank' would be good. I'm limiting to 2 glasses and no party…

Good day here had rye bread with peanut butter and banana, cauliflower pizza and then veg loaded mince beef chilli with caulirice for tea. I've eaten a lot for my cals today so can enjoy a snack tonight. The most annoying thing today has been that my trousers can not hold on...which is great feeling the 10llb loss but need…

Morning...uk here there's a bit of a time differenece. I've just been shopping to reload my fridge with colour. It's wet and miserable which is less of a motivator but i'm decorating our kitchen so still productive. Anyone used the samsung health app? It's a little crazy on it's reccomended calorie intake and activity…

Whoop whoop 3.5llbs lost happy happy as i had wine this week too! Just had a mini wrap with scrambled egg, shredded potato, skinny sausage and cheese 322 cals and a skinny latte 50cals as a treat! I love that weigh day follows being able to allow more choice. Your pup will provide a good distraction and get you out walking…

Happy Monday! Today is a good day as it's my last day before i weigh myself after a weeks effort and i get to eat semi normally tomorrow. See how i turned my day into a positive!? I've been hungry today and it's been tough. I had eggs tomato and spinach for breakfast nothing for lunch and x2 veg chorizo sausages for tea,…

I love an odd glass of wine so weigh up what i want food treat or wine. The trouble is when i drink wine my lips feel the need for a snack so it will be a once a month treat for me as i struggle with the burst of appetite and the more wine i have the less willpower i have!!!!

Thanks Meghan

I had a naughty day yesterday which overall isn't a 'fail' as i eat under most days but i didn't plan it in so didn't feel great so today i've had a low day to compensate 700 cals. I usually fast mon or Tue but unsure which day i should choose. My guilty pleasure was wine and a good catch up with a friend so it was worth…

I've set it to sedentary as i don't exercise but rarely have a chance to put my feet up either! I set it to 2llb loss per week. I'm enjoying it so far and hoping to stick to longterm changes once i've achieved my goal as that's the hard part!

Sorry i wrote a lot more but my phone didn't post...

Hi Kate yes i have done that thank you

Hi all, happy friday! I had a golden syrup porridge for (skimmed milk) breakfast and a skinny latte yum. I made a big batch of soup which was nice and filling but it's 'my off' day so i had a slice of bread. Then we were unexpedly busy so i felt no need to fill the gap til dinner. Then tea was soya mince cottage pie with…

Normal day here phew...not for me but for thr husband as he was well cranky last night (he's doing it too) i nearly force fed him he was so irritable. So my challenge for today is to avoid the danish biscuits i have less distractions today so hope i don't feel super hungry/bored!

Some days because i'm trying to overall improve the amount of veg we eat my total is 1,100 cals at the end of the day and weirdly i've not felt i needed more food so haven't ate for the sake of it but then a wkd its more like 1550. I have 2 low days couldn't do 3 plus i lost 7llb in 1 week so feeling good (christ knows how…

Hi everyone, mamainthekitchen that salad sounds lush! I have had a fast day today which actually went well as i've not felt hungry. My fast day should be tomorrow but today i was busy so i knew it would help. Scrambled egg, spinach and mushrooms for breakfast. Mustard baked Chicken spiralized courgette and grated carrot…

Kate what do you mean change your cals? And Ryenday what is TDEE newbie here x

I'm just coming into wk 2 with a successful weigh so keep breakfast under 150 usually 2 eggs mushroom and spinach then miss lunch and have dinner around 300cal. My evening cup of tea is a must so i save cals for that. I remember why i'm doing it and my goals. Feeding children only slightly adapted version to ours (hubby…
