  • If you were losing weight before and you are not eating back your exercise calories it's quite possible your body has recognised additional output with no additional input and is holding on... try eating them back for a while, at least some of them!

    in NO WEIGHTLOSS FEEL LIKE QUITTING! :-( Comment by kbcara October 2011
  • I'm stunned by some of these responses.. it always used to bug me when you'd buy a magazine because it said 'I lost a stone in a month' or similar and I'd buy it, thinking, 'I'll do what they did'...well no wonder they lost so much weight when they ate such utter rubbish in the first place! I have always been frustrated by…
    in What were you eating habits before MFP? Comment by kbcara October 2011
  • How frustrating, would want to see who is on here and CHOOSE to friend them, not post a link and let them find me as not all my mates would be MFP friends i.e. not everyone good for this 'journey'! So much great about this site I'm really surprised they don't have this capability. Thanks anyway.
    in Finding friends Comment by kbcara October 2011
  • Thanks but that is just one by one. Most sites have something where you give them permission to access your list for a limited time so they can tell you if you have any known contacts on specific website.

  • I'm sure you've thought of it but DVDs are an obvious one... you can pick them up cheap at charity shops and get loads of different ones so your routine never gets boring...

  • It depends what you order and add in terms of condiments! But if you love to eat out (I do) none of them would be on my list of must eats!
    in So what takeaway/fastfood contains the most fat?? Comment by kbcara October 2011
  • I either buy rocket from the 'naked' range in UK - they last longer in the cardboard box than in the plastic bag, and I also buy spinach fresh from a store that ties it with an elastic band i.e. needs dirt washing off it, but again as it was/is dry (not damp in bag) it lasts SO much longer. I would say get it out of the…
    in How do you keep you salad fresh? Comment by kbcara October 2011
  • I watch Biggest Loser! Seriously I pre-record it and then when I need to I sit and watch an episode. I know that sounds daft, but losing weight is really bl00dy hard work, and if I don't persevere I will end up like they start out (no disrespect meant) and it will be even harder work. I want to take control now!

  • Is this about her or you? If her, she has to come to conclusion in her own time - you could help along in subtle ways like putting before/after picture of yourself on fridge door to keep your own motivation going, or having shared meals from time to time prepared by you but to suit her tastes/your diet, or logging your…
    in Non-Dieting roommate Comment by kbcara September 2011
  • Thanks for the suggestions. I've got friends doing protein shakes etc. but instead of food which I'm not keen on as I am here to ditch fads or food lifestyles I can't maintain. However, maybe using them in conjunction with is something I can consider. Yes 1200kcal is low but I have a lot to lose and actually I believe I'm…

    in Protein % Comment by kbcara September 2011
  • Ha ha, thanks for clarifying. If I was eating cookies I could figure out cutting them would be a good idea ;0) ... cockles are shellfish. No I've eaten more but they're the main sources of protein. So lunch was a chicken and vegetable soup (with barely any chicken so low protein source) and a small jar of cockles - an odd…
    in Protein % Comment by kbcara September 2011
  • Atkins - totally unrealistic and almost like a carb addiction program - when you fall off the wagon you carb load and put it all back on and more. Plus actually made me feel really unhealthy despite weight loss of almost a stone (but at a time when my lifestyle was less sedentary i.e. no desk work so possibly not all down…
    in Why did your previous weight loss program fail? Comment by kbcara September 2011
  • Yes there is no way I could wear any kind of equipment as I play competitively - don't want to halve them if I don't have to either ;0) .... must be some kind of calculation I can get from somewhere!?
