I used to be absolutely dependant on the scale but ditched it in the end, i havent weighed myself in months and just go by how i feel and look. its okay to weigh yourself once a month if you want to see how much youve lost but for some people it becomes something obsessive and then you end up stressing for no reason. the…

I love Popcorn, its a great snack. especially skinny popcorn. i have one bag and it only has 50 calories and has great flavours.. to be honest it depends what kind of popcorn you having, obviously the tofee caramel flavour would be high calories and high in sugar

get some blackcurant dehydration tablets and put them in water, hopefully there will recharge your electroyltes in your body.

it dont help you lose weight but its good for cleaning toxins out your body. i just have a warm glass of lemon and honey water when i wake up in the morning before breakfast but during the day i drink just normal water. some people dont like the taste of water and tend to infuse fruits so it has some flavour to it.

Heyy. Im from London. it would be nice to have some friends from the Uk so we within the same time.

Well done on starting your Journey. your definitely on the right page and congrats on losing those 8lbs this month . you can do it ! good luck .. p.s hope you enjoy your cheat day today, you definitely deserve it.

Good luck and well done for starting your journey.. we all a big family on here. you can do it when you put your mind in it, anything is possible !

wow this is some long thread haha .. would be nice to have some Uk buddies in my friends list too.. im from london .

coconut oil is my go to oil i use it to cook my chicken on a griddle and sometimes fish too. i also use butter occasionally in my eggs.

i take the yolks out of two of my eggs and one whole egg to make scrambled eggs. egg whites work better for me. and i have it with a slice of toast sometimes otherwise just with avocados for breakfast usually..

Drink lots of water, take care of your dental health and also opt for natural products instead of mouthwash, i would suggest swishing a spoon of coconut oil in your mouth for a couple of minutes. it basically an "oil pulling method" and gets rid of bad breathe.

i used to be a green tea fan and would go through cups of it during the day, this was many years ago.i remember losing quite a bit of weight, i dont know whether that was because i was in a calorie defecit or the green tea helped rev my metabolism up but now it really has no effect on my body. i dont think teas help in any…

WATER.. i cant live without it. and it helps you flush all the toxins out.. i drink lots of it !

Hello Welcome to MFP and Good luck !

Good luck !

Aww Congratulations on the birth of your Baby Girl and Welcome back B) Good luck you definitely can do it !

I love Avocados <3 i usually have half a day. mostly for breakfast on a slice of rye bread with eggs and plenty of black pepper but sometimes with my chicken salad for lunch. no one else eats avocados in the family so im happy haha

Good luck Hun. your not alone, we all a big family on here. start with baby steps. change your diet to clean eating and nothing bad and then slowly incorporate some light exercise, it can just be 20 mins of walking a day to start of with and once youve lost some weight you can slowly move on to intense cardio and strength…

Fitbits or the Xiaomi Mi band which is relatively cheaper compared to the fitbit.

i first started of with running on an incline, now i dont bother, i still sweat running without an incline. incline is just for running on a hill rather than a flat surface lol. i guess everyone has there own preferences .

you either love running or you dont lol. im developing a love for it slowly, i wouldnt say addiction just yet, i used to run every single day till i burnt my immune system out with over training then i reduced my running days to 3 times a week .. some weeks i tend to fit in 5 days of running, depends how i feel really.…

Butters good depending on how much you use. i would stick with the real thing rather then low fat options. margarine gives you a different taste lol. i only use butter to cook my morning scrambled eggs and then coconut oil for fish and meat and other thing foods.

good luck on your journey.. you can do it !

Hello.. Congrats on having a baby :) good luck on your journey.. you can do it !

Good luck Hun :) You can do it !

Good Luck on your Journey Emilie :)

Well done girl. you can do it. that sounds about right but most likely its water weight, weigh yourself once a week in the morning or however you prefer it, some people weigh themselves everyday but that only effects you mentally. to be honest ive stop looking at the scales now and just see if the clothes fit me better

is this joe wicks book/ plan? i hear hes good but i wouldnt really pay for the plan as its all about knowledge and you can do everything yourself. i do follow some of his workouts every now and again and his recipes are good too.

you definitely can do it. im from london, please do add me.

as long as you are eating the right amount of calories its fine. the less weight you have to lose, the slowly it comes off. ive hit a plateau for months as im closer to my goal. and believe me it took me just over 5 months to lose 15lbs so its normal. the longer it takes the better we will be able to maintain it. good luck…
