@Fatimahasnain Hey I from what I have read if you manage to reduce calories by 500 per day or burn 500 calories per day or even both thats 2lb per week should be anyway as there is 3500 calories in 1lb of fat but then again your already at a healthy weight so you could always just try and tone up a little bit? I wish you…

@Tasha12004 exactly plus it also depends on salt intake as that can retain water plus weather can make a difference also grrr lol I never actually used to feel bloating caused by T.O.M or by eating before I starting losing weight which is really strange haha

I'm a good example why you shouldn't under eat... Between January 16th and July 24th (6 months) I have lost 73 lbs (5st 3lbs)... I started at 308 lbs and now down to 236 lbs. I ate don't get me wrong but I burned a lot of calories also, my daily total net calories was pretty low and now for the past month or two I have…

I am not grateful for having gallbladder problems, no matter how much I reduce my daily fat intake I can still get attacks which are so painful and leave me feeling weak, achy and frustrated.

I really dislike this low carb high fat diet stuff.... Yes I know it's helped a lot of people but it annoys me as I need to keep my fat low due to gallbladder issues and when searching for low fat recipes/fb groups etc all I keep getting is low carb high fat information because its so popular, plus all these fad diets that…

Hey, yeah mother nature called me too... I decided not to weigh myself Saturday just passed due to it hehe I feel like I have lost weight and by what I've eaten and burned I should have but I know the scale will tell me differently due to the water retention T.O.M brings so I feel ya there :)

Hey all, I'm really not sure whether I have commented in the past or not, I have looked but can't see... I have bookmarked this discussion anyways, I'm Sara I'm 5"4 and from the UK, I started this journey after turning 30 in January this year after years and years of eating what I wanted when I wanted and not doing any…

Hey what I was told was look at your Maintenance then cut 500 from that, mine at the moment is 2,131 per day so my daily intake would be 1,631 to lose 1lb per week, I'm 236 lbs at the moment, my starting weight was 308 lbs back in January this year, I'm 5"4. On this website it tells me I need to eat 1250 per day to lose…

@OliveGirl128 Oh wow thats awesome, I live a 10 min walk from Lidl which is owned by the brother of the owner of Aldi.... basically they co-shared Aldi but had a falling out.... so the stories say haha it may all be total BS but I like that story... they are both pretty much identical and they compete with their prices…

@OliveGirl128 Aldi as the cheap supermarket in the UK? OMG I hope so... if thats the case I will be dragging my partner down there with me soon as he finishes work haha!

@Rachel0778 Hey, thank you, yeah it sucks, yeah I was told that more protein intake the better. I am always looking into new things to try, I have actually been looking into getting some lentils and possibly some barely, yes I love fruit and veg, quark is like the best thing I have discovered having no fat, it goes great…

@OliveGirl128 Hey what is this herb popcorn, it sounds very interesting and what is the fat like? I'm looking for a popcorn type snack that's satisfying and low in calories and fat, if you can point me in the right direction of a recipe I would be very grateful :)

My daily calories were 1250 losing 2lb per week but I decided to put it to 1.5lb per week so my goal is 1500, but due to gallbladder issues I am having to reduce my fat intake which has also reduced my calories so I am trying to keep between 1200 and 1300 calories per day now. I'm 5"4 my starting weight on Jan 16th was 308…

There is always some sort of issues with this website, last week I was having issues logging, editing and removing exercise and this week it seems that I have to refresh several times for that exercise to take effect with completing my day as it keeps forgetting to count it which is annoying, sometimes it freezes whilst I…

@jklwq123 Hey thanks for the tips, I have cut back so much, the only meats I do have now are chicken and tuna in spring water, I also added tofu too which I fry up a little with that 1 cal no fat spray, my diary is open with what little food I do eat these days, I will admit I got a little confident and added snack a jacks…

I usually have the same thing everyday, cup of tea with a splash of milk, porridge made up with water, a banana and a yogurt, pretty low in everything and filling, sometimes I add a ginger and lemon teabag to my usual cup of tea, my diary is open to public if you want to look :)

Hey all, thank you all for your input, I had a ultrasound Wednesday 26th and had a phone call Friday morning confirming it is indeed gallstones, it was a receptionist so they was unable to give me any more information than that, I am going to make an appointment with my doctors this Wednesday coming as I have anxiety and…

Hey, yeah I get bored sometimes, I watch tv or play a game, I find sucking a sugar free polo helps with unwanted hunger pangs, I have finally got rid of an irritating habit I used to do whilst bored and that was I kept walking over to my fridge and looking in... I hated that habit lol whenever I had the urge to do that I…

I hear you @amaggio2 I was 308 lbs January of this year, my target weight is to be between 120 lbs and 140 lbs, my current weight is 236 lbs so just over 70 lbs down, 100 lbs to go, my motivation is that I am sick of missing out on living, I am sick of letting my anxiety over my weight putting my life on hold, I have been…

Hey all, since January this year I have never been so determined and motivated in all my life, I think hitting 30 was a huge wake up call, growing up I was an active kid I was thin with maybe a little "puppy fat" as they call it hitting puberty I was then chubby then into my late teens - 20s I was just getting more and…

I actually came across porridge sachets recently oat and barley, I make it up with water half a banana sliced and added to it and eat with a weight watchers yogurt and a cup of tea with a splash of milk in it, I can confirm the sugar intake is low also being 13g in total, 5g from the banana, 7g from the yogurt and 1g from…

Wow congrats, you look amazing, I am bookmarking this to look at when I need some motivation, thanks for sharing your journey :) P.S I am a numbers person would it be possible to share your starting weight, current weight and goal weight please? I am kinda a nerd when it comes to stats I have already tried to figure out…

Could have gained muscle? as muscle weighs more than fat, if you're already an ideal weight and you feel slimmer it must be muscle you have gained, don't get too disheartened, I know your a number person but just bear in mind about muscle or possible water retention, we often throughout the day gain and lose a few lbs, you…

I disagree, My mum did all she could to get me to eat better, I would buy sweets etc from the shop without her knowing, plus my dad's side of the family are all big so that did not help me there but I am not about to blame my weight on my dad's side, I know I did wrong, I would sneak food whenever I could, have double…

Mine has been somewhat accurate but then again I do estimate a few months in advance to see what I will weigh per week etc, I love little stats like that, if I'm not what I estimated then I don't really get upset, I find it all very motivating and interesting to me.

Hey, UK here also, Leicestershire to be precise :)

Ok after having 3 attacks today I rang the NHS helpline which was really no help, after answering soooo many invasive and infuriating questions which I know they have to ask I got a call back from an on-call nurse who demanded I get myself to the hospital that is 10 -15 miles away, I have no transport nor do I know anyone…

@pennygm72 when my attacks happen I get the pain which intensifies on touching that area, can't lay on my back, can barely sit down or lay on my left side, can't stand without pain, raised temperature and I shiver also, I basically get most of the symptoms except the jaundice, my urine is also brown when the attacks…

@rdmitch Hey, there are natural remedies where you drink apple juice everyday for about a week then on the last day you drink epsom salt, let me find the link or there is drinking apple cider vinegar but I am not going to attempt either until I am 100% positive it is gallstones. 1st link:…

@carlyp79 Yeah I keep getting them stuck I think or perhaps bile.... I'm not sure.... they often dislodge pretty quickly within a few hours, I feel nauseous but I often have to make myself sick and most of the time the pain subsides so maybe with my retching and vomiting I actually dislodge it... I'm not sure I guess I…
