It's funny how after a month of logging it's impossible to stop. It's imprinted in my head to estimate roughly my cals as I consume meals, such as when I'm out and about. Somehow, the odd day out didn't make a difference to my weight, but I think a lot is to do with the fact that guilt overtakes any joy if I go overboard,…

Walnuts with organic honey sprinkled over the top. Takes the craving off

That is so true! Some days I feel like I'm getting on the nerves of my partner as I weigh most things. Some times I am so accurate without weighing food it's scary, I guess it comes with practice. However most of the time I'm told I'm doing a great job :) It does make me wonder to a degree, when I've lost the weight, will…

I don't have to constantly rearrange the clothes I have on, top or pants. It was exhausting constantly doing that when getting off a seated position or after bending. It's great to squeeze into a parking spot and not worry about whether I have enough room to get out of the door, or go past past some chairs in a packed…

That's brave!

very true. I sometimes get a sweet out and leave it sitting on the bench. By the time I look up what it contains nutrients etc on this site, the urge has gone and I put it back :) the temptation is not worth it. It's always about thinking twice with me, and avoiding impulse eating

lol I find if I set myself a no snacking goal after a certain hour it's all I can think about... In all honesty I have a healthy snack any hour of the day or night if I feel peckish and it has not interfered with my goal :) I figure it's better than hearing my stomach growl hehe

Sounds great. I joined almost a month ago. I'm a stay at home mum too, with nobody to work out with. The motivation would be fantastic in a group...

I don't weigh myself everyday, just once a week. I find it too distracting if I do and it used to stress me out, the last time I was on a diet. In particular as soon as I gained a few grams I was getting disappointed and lost focus on my goal. Now I weight myself once a week and I get a nice surprise, which I find is…

Personally I buy all kinds of sweets because I have kids. However I put everything in a not see through bag and kept to one side of the pantry. I know it's there, but it's not the first thing I see when I open the door to get a snack. That for me alone worked. It was too tempting to see it. Also, somehow knowing it's there…

Well, I find it best with photos. You can' t see detail but with great loss it is incredible, before and after. I also think keeping a log of measurements speaks quite loudly and it's something you can be proud of. Starting with being proud of yourself for your achievement is definitely a big step. No matter what others…
