(Also to add) it’s hard to know what your child is thinking or how it develops, so although she might act as if she’s using it maturely keep an eye on her usage and make sure it doesn’t become an obsession. (Link accounts?)

Knowing myself as a child, and knowing I have mental problems when it comes to calories etc I would say no steer away from a Fitbit. I like the suggestion of a pedometer which just shows steps and not calories etc! I think she’s too early to be obsessing over stuff like that. I think if you’re teaching her how to prepare…

I never trust my Apple Watch, phone or machines for how many calories are burnt. Short answer: yes it’s fine to eat back your calories. Your recommended calories already take into account deficit for losing weight. But As it’s not always correct I usually steer away from using them all, usually try and eat back half

I had this problem too and had people going crazy at me saying how I must be logging things incorrectly etc! What it came down to is everything, yes calories matter but look at the breakdown, are you getting the nutrients you need? Are you logging drinks? I don’t eat much, but I drank a lot of calories, cutting them out…

I think you misunderstood me and looked more at terminology. Simply trying to lose weight without losing muscle that I have and without resulting in ‘flappiness’ as I’ve seen many lose weight but as they haven’t been doing the right exercises end up with saggy skin, simply want to avoid that. I have my routine in the gym…

Thank you for the links!

The example that I gave was Iceland sausages which are listed as syn free. Everyone has different taste buds and I'm sure there's people who think these taste great and they could eat 10. But that would be at least 700 calories. Over half of the daily allowance for some!

It seems more of the fact it's not encouraging a healthy lifestyle. It's not teaching you what you should be eating when you leave the program

I get panic attacks a lot - I've never had one on a treadmill, I can imagine that's scary. Try counting down from 100 or if you listen to music concentrate on the words and try and repeat them as then it should try occupy your mind. Or if you can go to the gym showers ? I find I'm close to asthma attacks on treadmill but I…

I've been craving Taco Bell so much today why did I come on here! Haha. Probably currently my Zillionaire cheesecakes from GU! So good but about 375 calorie wise and a hell of a lot of sugar!

My friend has one and although when he remembers to drink water he drinks it it's more of a 'drink until the 4pm line at 1pm so I'm beyond my target and then not drink any until 7pm' rather than regular drinking water, so honestly it's a waste of money especially considering some are very expensive

Also to add; may be down to if you're also weight training while trying to lose weight. I'd suggest to go on measurements instead of weight and see where you get that way?

Try and calculate calories a bit better, it's likely if you are counting that you're not counting correctly (weighing food) or not counting little things that add up (like oil, butter and sauses). It may also be if you're eating back your calories from working out. I find when my machines at the gym tell me I've burnt 100…

By your comment I believe you haven't had a dominos pizza. Even with cheese pizza lift up your pizza and there will be grease. Because cheese has natural moisture, grease. And all takeaway pizzas are rubbed with either oil or butter therefore resulting to more grease.

What I've been doing recently is; I have these 'healthier' protein, meal replacement type chocolate bars, and although they taste really powdery and so bad they satisfy my need for chocolate as they in a way put me off wanting chocolate ? Usually 20 cals most as I only have like 1/8 of the bar

Maybe it's due to what's happening in your life? Try make a plan or booking where it's important that you look or feel your best - be it a night out or going out swimming, or a holiday. That way when you have a motivation and a time period where you want to reach or maintain. It may help you keep your motivation when…

It is really who you know, if you know the people use them, that's the only real way anywhere these days. I'm currently in university applying for placements and it's infuriating, applying to every one I can, but it is a shame when you get your hopes up for a job (or in my case placement) and they don't even interview you!

I'm personally not a fan of sweeteners, there's a lot of 'bad' in them and a lot I don't think has been studied or found. Use sugar, slowly start to use less. Say you use two teaspoons then in each tea use: Two, Then two smaller heaps Then one and a half Then at least get it down to one!

Again that's not healthy, to say you can eat all of that, plus more isn't healthy, isn't incouraging a lifestyle you can continue.

While reducing your chocolate is a good thing, the fact that you can have sausages and bacon syn free is NOT healthy. According to slimming world you could have 10 slices of bacon (minus fat) 10 Iceland sausages and 10 eggs and still be able to eat more as all that's syn free. That's not healthy.

It's a 'diet' where you get something like 20 'syns' a day. Foods like home made cake can actually be 'syn free' meaning you can eat as much of it as you like! Some of their 'syn free' foods are ones I would try my hardest to stay away from because they're unhealthy, but to them it's okay. It seems to be an easy diet cause…

I'm not sure about you, but I would prefer to have a larger more filling home made pizza over a quarter of a dominos pizza which is mostly grease. Home made pizzas can be just as nice if not nicer than dominos.

You've pretty much summed up my feelings about the whole slimming world program. I see many boasting about the weight loss but then I see what they're eating and it pains me as it's not healthy. Even when it comes to simple things. We have a George Forman but my sister on slimming world still uses a frying pan as there's…

I totally understand that, have you tried to tell him that? Tell him it's the lie that's the problem, not that he went!

Honestly, there isn't any. Even the low calorie pizzas have a large amount of calories for how little they fill you etc. It's very easy to make your own pizza, and actually know what's going in it. It usually only takes me 10 minutes and I'm sure you could make a batch of them and freeze them for later dates ?

If it still bothers you and are still effecting your life with him then I suggest explaining to him that the truth is very important and it's the lie that is really bothering you (which I think it is righg?) and tell him you know the truth you just want to hear the truth and that's what's important

Simply, 2 years ago - its in the past. Yes I'd 'let' mine go, no I wouldn't be the happiest about it but it's not as if I don't trust him not to cheat. However The lying is not okay with me. Do something I won't like, that's forgivable and 'okay', lie about it and that's not okay.

Thank you for your advice. When I binge, especially in the evenings I always find myself thinking 'I'm full, even feeling a bit sick of sugar, but ah! One more!' And when I'm not eating as much I know it's unhealthy but then I see the numbers on the scale and it's equally as hard to stop doing that. I just can't seem to…

I think that may be a very good option for me - thank you for sharing that. Cooking from scratch is a very good way to actually know what you're putting in your body which I think is the most important. But by interest what do you do about any sugary cravings or are they mostly helped by therapy?

To clarify by the words I mean Binging: 2000-3000calories Starving: Usually under 1000, mostly around the 500 mark of food with 300-600 calories burned from working out.
