Have you tried fitting something sweet into your calorie allowance. Or is there a specific reason you want to eliminate sugar? I find that eliminating foods I enjoy never ends well. I'm forever trying that moderation thingy that some people can do 🤣 I cant eat one cookie - so I don't buy them.

Weaning yourself off of salty, fatty sugary food will take time and effort. When you eat like that healthier food isn't palatable and if you hate cooking then it's even harder. You probably will never hit your macros but doesn't fast food have a calorie count on the menu? Learn to cook - you might enjoy it! And you'll…

Breakfast - cheese omlette with a wholemeal pitta and marmite. Lunch - Costa Mocha and almonds ( again 🙄) Some fruity drink thing full of sugar. Dinner - peri peri chicken salad Protien bar.

My cycle messes with the scale too. I'm starting to think that I should bin the scales as they are demotivating me by not moving a single ounce 🙄 I have been positively saintly as well with my exercise and calorie goals. This time of the month is when I start to bloat a little and crave junk food - it's definitely not a…

This wins tge prize for the most confusing thread ever 🤣

Swap the ground beef for ground turkey ( he probably won't notice ) Just don't buy soda - he'll drink other things if its not there - a few tantrums at first will be worth it to eventually wean him off of it. Potatoes and rice are fine - so is dairy. I normally have veg instead of rice, pasta, potatoes etc.. when I make…

I got asked for ID in a supermarket to buy wine...... I'll be 47 in April 😁 Admittedly when she looked at my ID and looked back at me she did laugh and apologise. It literally made my day 😁

I want to be at least 10 lbs lighter before the weather starts getting warmer! I want to feel comfortable in jeans and a t shirt.

😍

I try not to snack because its a slippery slope for me to go over my calorie allowance - but if I'm starving I'll try and have something high in protien like a handful of almonds, greek yoghurt with a little fruit - or combine all 3 for a bigger snack. Or a little lean meat like chicken, small piece of cheese with some…

Breakfast - scrambled eggs and avocado and tomato on toast. Lunch - full fat mocha from Costa Handful almonds. Dinner - Turkey and mushroom chilli with cheese broccol and spinach. Protien bar.

Me too 😁

Thanks for the replies and advice 😊 The refeeding thread is enlightening and will definitely try that. And I have set my calories at half a pound a week loss and see if that helps with the hunger. I think an extra 200/250 calories a day will really help.

I have no marathon experience- but I got Covid pretty bad back in November. I wasn't hospitalised but the were some sketchy times trying to catch my breath. I got over the worst of it in a relatively short time - but my taste and smell hasn't recovered fully so I tend to eat different foods now. I also haven't regained my…

Breakfast - scrambled eggs with spinach, 2x seeded wholemeal toast with marmite , salted caramel chocolate bar ( I couldn't resist it! ) Lunch - greek yoghurt with cinnamon, apple and almonds. Dinner - Turkey and mushroom chilli with broccoli and spinach. Protien bar.

The secret is finding a 'Diet ' that works for you and is sustainable forever. But it may help to listen to the wise words of the posters on this thread that have successfully lost weight and are maintaining it. A low fat vegan diet is my worst nightmare! Especially the foods in the combinations you mentioned! But if it…

A 'cheat' day can wipe out my deficit for the week. And I find it hard to get back on it afterwards so I tend to just try and fit everything in my calorie goal. Obviously it doesn't always work out that way and I go way over - but I log it and move on. Planning to have days off plan gives my stupid brain permission to go…

I was out most of the day yesterday and was ravenously hungry all day. I ate a load of crap but stayed within my calories.

I started well with breakfast and it all went downhill from there lol Breakfast - greek yoghurt with cinnamon, apple and almonds. Lunch - a small piece of chicken. Dinner - 2 sausage rolls and 2 protein bars 😐 Awful! I'm going to load up on veg tomorrow lol

Healthy eating is BORING! I want cocktails and salty snacks 😁

,

Breakfast- cheese and mushroom omlette, 2x wholemeal seeded toast with marmite, pear. Lunch- protien bar Dinner- bbq chicken and spinach pitta Salted caramel bites

It really is an art form that I cannot master either 🙄 If I indulge it usually leads me to indulging for a few days.

Cheese and mushroom omlette, 2x wholemeal seeded toast with marmite and a pear.

I'm trying to find some sort of winter routine that doesn't bore me to death like the gym - now that is BORING! I enjoy hiking and cycling - but it's just so cold 🥶
