@amaggio2 thats amazing! Your doing so well, the hard part to leading a healthier lifestyle for me were the first few weeks but once I got into a routine of everything I was ok, I find logging my food intake a day or so in advance helps me so much :)

I have found little changes I can eat more, I can understand its hard having children around, I used to look after my little brother a lot and its so hard not to eat what he left etc but I found just switching my bread to weight watchers danish (4 slices 201 cals), snacking on small amounts of homemade popcorn (I crave…

Hey @amaggio2 doing well here, a little frustrated still as I'm still limited to what I can eat due to my gallbladder issues but getting on as best as I can, I put on a few pounds of water weight 2 weeks ago due to "womanly problems" but lost that last week and lost 2 lb this week so now 233 lbs yay! how are you getting…

For me it was laziness, giving up is it seemed like too much work, didn't have the right knowledge, depression and just plain denial thinking and telling myself I was happy with how I was and always making the joke "the only diet I am on is a seefood diet, I see food and I eat it" and the other joke "I'm allergic to…

Love this discussion already, I joined so many cat groups on facebook so my feed is full of pictures of cats instead of day to day drama :) it helps me so much! here is a pic of my cat Charlie and my mum's cat Poppy who I look after sometimes :)

Hey, my first 2 months I lost about 2st (14lbs) most of that was water weight, also I tend to but on between 1lb -5lb around T.O.M which is water weight and it does suck but can't be helped :) also 1200 with the exercise and not eating at least some back seems very low, it would make your Net 600.... your net needs to be…

In my mid - late teens I was suicidal, it has a lot to do with the stresses of fitting in, being bullied etc plus the whole hormonal imbalance in most teens, I remember having a group of friends that were very clicky and back stabby, one minute they were nice the other minute just nasty but yeah speaking from my own…

Mines because of my gaming style, when I use to game with a good group of people they would laugh and call me Rambette and a close friend within that group started calling me Rambokitty, 5 years later that close friend still calls me it and its just stuck ever since :) Plus forgot to mention I love cats :smiley:

That is true when I first started dieting I lost just over 2st in a month and a half, a lot is water weight though. I was just trying to warn the OP is all, as I thought the same way so I pushed myself more and more and well in 6 months I have lost 73lbs but I also have issues with my gallbladder because of it, I meant no…

I'm on a low fat diet due to gallbladder issues so my go to for protein is quark (40g = 0 fat 4g protein) and cottage cheese (40g 0 fat, 4g protein) , tuna in spring water (112 drained = 1g fat, 30g protein), grilled chicken breast (50g 1g fat 18g protein) Weight watchers bread (4 slices 1g fat 10g protein) also beans &…

A long time ago I used to spread mustard or marmite on potato waffles and melt cheese on top, I sometimes used to eat coco pop and banana sandwiches erm... mash potato sandwiches with left over mash from sunday dinner.... these days I just add cottage cheese and quark to lunchtime and dinnertime meals which my partner and…

I can't edit so have to quote myself lol, when I said I told everyone... the only people I talk to IRL are my partner, my mum and 2 brothers, my nana, uncle and his wife, my brothers wife, my partner's family, I only have 1 online friend I talk to on a regular basis, so apart from them, people on this website and sometimes…
-
No offence but its just a fad diet, I am shocked it's still a thing, basically do what others have suggested 1lb = 3500 calories so if you take out 500 per day you'll lose 1lb per week, if you burn 500 a day on top that's a 2lb loss per week. if you're confused with your starting calories before cutting look here:…
-
I never use to in the past as I would never make it past 2 months but this time around as I am more motivated and dedicated I told everyone I could so that way It would keep me at it, that way when anyone asked how I was doing I could say well I lost this amount last week/fortnight/month, I have lasted 6 months now and…
-
Weighing helped me a lot, I never thought to weigh my bananas thinking they were all about 70g, decided to weigh and I was so shocked, over 1 week 1 bag of bananas ranged from 60g to 120g It was such an eye opener, plus food scales are super cheap, I purchased one off amazon for £2 and it takes AAA batteries which are…
-
I replaced butter/spread, mayo/salad cream and cheeses with quark and cottage cheese, my mum and my partner find this really weird and gross but I most likely wouldn't still be continuing my healthy lifestyle without those 2 items, I was a huge cheese monster before my lifestyle change, my fave food before was cheese…

Hey first pic was taken 2 weeks before christmas 2016 the 2nd was taken 1 month ago when I noticed my face looking thinner, they say noticeable weight kinda comes in whooshes lol 1 month your face the next your butt, next thighs etc etc I think this month has been my hips and forearms as I have noticed them look and feel…

Hey I'm no expert, still a noob to this healthy lifestyle... but your body is clearly telling you something isn't right, try and up your calories a little or up your protein? if you're tired have a rest day? also possibly go see a doctor as dehydration and tiredness is a symptom of diabetes, great advice from previous…
-
Yeah I can understand people trying to help and may be a blunt as they have more than likely given that same advice to lots of people asking the same questions and also making the same mistakes, it would be like having a stain on your white top that really stands out and walking down the street and everyone seems to keep…
-
Hey, basically use this website: https://tdeecalculator.net/ then either take away 500 calories per day or burn 500 per day or even both as 500 calories per day = 3500 per week which equals 1lb per fat so if your burning 500 per day and eating 500 less thats a 2lb loss per week but don't under eat and listen to your body,…
-
Hey :) my lunch these days is half a tin of tuna in spring water with leafy green salad and quark mixed in which I either eat just like that or smear onto ryvita, followed by a plum and sometimes cherries. snacks I sometimes make my own popcorn in the microwave with 1 cal no fat spray and then sprinkle on some garlic and…
-
I read whilst I use my exercise bike, it's the only time except at night in bed that I let myself read my books that way I am more likely to keep reading, I use an app on my mobile called Wattpad so many good stories on there to keep myself entertained and exercise :)
-
@DamieBird I Did post once asking for people's input as I was unsure how many calories I should intake and how many I should burn etc, I told them my calories in and calories out to which I pretty much got attacked and called a liar, I was very new to this and still am, I ended up in tears, deleting the discussion and…

I was one of them and now I have gallstones and I'm in pain quite often even after lowering my total daily fat to 10g :neutral: a lot of people out there seem to think the less they eat and the more they exercise the more weight they will lose which is true and the proof of their success is going to bed starving but this…
-
Hey its great you're losing weight but try not to lose too much too fast, I did that and 6 months later I am 73lbs lighter but I have gallbladder issues that are causing me so much pain that its not even worth it, gallstones / gallbladder issues can be life threatening and I need surgery now to remove my gallbladder all…
-
Some months it doesn't affect me and other months like this month I am bloated, I have put on 2lb which I know isn't fat as I feel a little slimmer in places, I rarely ever crave chocolate but this month I am but I can't have as every chocolate bar I have come across has too much fat in it which sucks but I'm eating fruit…
-
Oats and barley porridge with a scoop of strawberry protein powder and 125ml Skimmed milk topped with water, 1 banana, weight watchers yogurt, cup of tea with a dash of skimmed milk and sometimes a lemon and ginger herbal tea. it equals out to 340 cals, 55g carbs, 3g fat, 17g protein, 245g sodium and 9g fibre and keeps me…

Hey, belated congratulations on your marriage, I'm really no expert when it comes to weight loss, I am still at the new stage if I am honest but I have read and have been told that weight gain and lose is a way of life, plus you was on your honeymoon your bound to indulge a little I mean most would, even going on vacation…

@tinkerbellang83 I hope so, I would not wish this sort of pain on anyone, I forgot to add I may be a bad example but my diary is open to public if anyone wants ideas on making the most of having to lead a restricted diet lol
