Hey. This is a problem for me too. Once the day is over and I have been good all day... 8 or 9pm rolls round and I find myself searching for carbs. I like the idea of @biddysaurus and trying to eat more during the day. I also find I'm not hungry for breakfast and have read that my night time snacks may be the cause. I try…

@CSARdiver so I put in goals to lose 1lb a week. Sedentary lifestyle. And it gave me 1350 cals My watch activity app I have set to try and burn 500 cals a day. Easier on gym days than the weekend though. Only done 127 cals today. Mowing lawn. But it hasn't added anything to calories on mfp.

May I ask then. If I earn calories through exercise is it ok to eat these extras as exercising can make me hungry (as does concentrating.) Or should I just eat the 1200 and that's that.

@cross2bear I don't use my thyroid as an excuse but I do believe it's making it harder for me. Up until I was early 20s I was very small. Size 8 or 10. Within a year of being diagnosed shot to 16. I'm at 14 now but sometimes they feel tighter than normal. Only time I've been smaller these last 19 years is after my…

I've found the bar codes to be mostly accurate. I'm in the uk and seems to be ok. Except I scanned in something this week and it came up as raspberries. I will indeed dust off the scales

Thanks @rainbowbow it's good to hear it can be done. I've won other battles. But this weight thing seems to be the hardest.

@pinuplove. Hi. Yeah I have considered that. I don't drink to excess, don't binge. I don't smoke or take recreational drugs. (I did smoke. Gave up when I was 18- now 44) hubby likes a little drink at the end of the day when everything is done. And it's nice to join in too. I have maybe 1/2 a bottle left of a nice red. Then…

Thank you. I have about a stone and a half I'd like to lose and to those that have more to lose I suppose my problem may seem petty. But it's important to me. I always feel so proud when I see someone very large either at the gym or out walking. They may be feeling horrific but I think they look great.

Hi. So in the past I did lose weight on the south beach diet. That was in about 2006 but that was very strict. Recently (last 4 years) I have used a Fitbit and tracked calories on here. (Didn't always stay in track) but managed to get down to 145) but then lost motivation and crept back up to 158. I now have an Apple Watch…
