Thank you all for your input. This proves that the whole metabolism thing is INVALID and the importance of accurately tracking everything.

Thank you to all who have offered actual help. I don't appreciate being told '100 calories is not a meal'. I am on here for advise on the topic of conversation, did not ask for a lecture (so much for support). I have found a few great ideas to help me stay full when i am on a fast day, so thank you.

It is actually. But sometimes I'm trying to type soo quick that words and letters end up being jumbled up. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the suggestions!! Will try when i get the chance :)

Haha if i allow myself another whole month of such i may end up adding a significant amount to.. but am changing it all now. My body is aching for a break from it all. I should listen or my rear end wont be happy struggling in my jeans :p

Haha hardly a miracle, well it may be just that my lack of food scale meaning i may be overestimating at time. While i have a friend who misses out food, I would write EVERYTHING down but maybe selecting the largest calories that i can find on here- as i dont know the exact weight of things. Someone did mention a 'worm' or…

LOVE your response, it's soo positive. It is true, I have recently been inspired by the founders of 5:2 (interpret fasting) which already increases longevity and their main focus is NUTRITION over calories. So take all the nutrition you can without the heavy calories, appears effective as once can look younger and if…

Thank you for the suggestion. I am starting to get serious. Even IF i maintained at that (do now think dependencies on actual calorie counts) I wouldn't want to be that, I want to be slimmer, feel better... and go to the gym more by choice. I appreciate your advice, thank you for taking your time.

Semorable item! a Double Cheese burger!!! It was a lot of meat, hours later i could feel it in my tummy as it was heavy (12 Oz)... Very well enjoyed! Craved one for a long time, eventually gave in. This was a few days back. Fond memories!

Will baby carrots to be pretty filling When needed :) Thanks for the suggestion. Like i mentioned before i cannot do things steady, so say I would eat 20% of my 'normal' intake (to easy into less calories) I would feel like I'm not doing things differently so lose patience fast.

What's TDEE? And thanks for the Suggestions. Just feels like say i had a light breakfast or lunch, have a few calories left, what to eat, if i open a packet of something its going to get finished :p lol

Don't realise I am only restricted to one thread? I was eating a lot (tracked for the last month) and want to change, should i justify this to you? I don't want to maintain or gain, I want to lose weight. The way i want to do it is the healthier but steady way averaging average daily intake from 1,200 to 1,500 calories…

If you lose more than one pound a week it's like to be gained quicker, also think water weight, but above all, don't allow the scales to dictate how you feel. Do you feel lighter, better? Are your clothes feeling better? Sleeping better too?

Well if not meal, but the most substantial thing than a piece of chocolate. i have done soup a few times with various veg no oil and one portion was about 100 very happy as I had other things later... :)

I think there is a little in all that's been mentioned. I may be on my way to gaining. Only really 'tracked' for like a month so maybe if i keep going i won't be able to sustain. As for logging, I try and put everything on there, but it's hard, if i have like a large fruit of any kind, e.g. orange, i say LARGE ORANGE; the…

ps. If i work out I don't tend to count them, because going to the gym say doing 6 press ups, 10 minutes on the cross training, some stretching and some other random stuff is not too significant so i do it for just feeling better (accomplishing activity). But haven't been to the gym for over 2 weeks so... it's at the back…

I only wish I were an athlete, but this weight is not small by the way, im a UK size 12-14 (US size: 10), so I'm not tiny. I don't weight everything exact (it would be too tiring), but i keep eating a lot- starting over every day then failing- get me in a buffet and I'm likely to end up ill from overeating. Over-eating is…

Inspiring! Well done .. keep us updated

I think people on here are a bit jumpy. Remember not everyone is the same, not only are our bodies different but so is our minds, in fact if changes from year to year to week to week. I think her version of the 5:2 diet sounds plausible as it is keeping her on the bare essentials and if she doesn't seem to MIND or is…
