You look amazing, well done! She may be jealous, but even if she's not I've noticed that people -especially slightly heavier people- often misjudge weight. If I lost a lb every time someone told me I was "too skinny to lose" when I was a good 20lbs overweight, or estimated me to be lighter by a vast amount! Just keep…

I will possibly give myself a night "off" and eat some nice dinner and a yummy dessert or something... WHILE 1)having a thorough look at diary to see if my meals are becoming same/boring, or if I have been eating less protein/fat/carbs than usual -if it's my food that's got me down. 2)If I am just in general feeling low I…

If you're just looking to have healthier choices - maybe choose whole grains or seeded breads, or maybe try having meat and potatoes with your veg! Baked potatoes with filling, plus side salad can be really good on the go because nice big uncooked potatoes microwave in about 8-12 mins! Lasagna is great bc it has carbs, but…

I agree with majority - she seemed to be trying to be kind, just trying not to assume. I mean not only does it show she might be concerned, but also imagine you were perfectly happy then got sick...only to have everyone compliment you! Wouldn't be nice at all!

Against popular opinion... I don't weigh everything. I overestimate unless it's a calorie-dense food (e.g. estimate - carrot, weigh - cheese). This is because I can't handle it - I end up constantly doing the numbers in my head due to my anxiety disorder. ...and I am another believer that junk food exists/it matters what…

Took a look at your diary and everything seems to be in cups and tbsp type measures - these are terribly inaccurate and you could easily be eating 100's of calories above what you think you are. You need to weigh foods or buy things that are in packages that clearly state the exact calories to know for sure how much you…

@moya_bleh so sorry to hear that. I remember going through a similar situation and I haven't been in a relationship for years due to the same reasons - it's lonely at times, but I do feel more internally validated and don't take as much note on what others might think. Hope you find the same and then end up in a stronger…

Am on my phone atm so I can't, but diary won't tell me what I need to know... Basically 1) do you have your MFP height, weight etc put in correctly? 2) what activity level did you choose, and are you sure it's accurate? 3) do you log exercise calories? If you do MFP adds more to your "allowance" - do you eat these? 4) do…

I am moving to a new city and I guess I decided I would like my first impression when I start college and meet flat mates etc to not include "a bit chubby".

Maybe check to make sure you are eating at a deficit - it can help to use a few different BMR calculators in case one is inaccurate! Generally there is not a noticeable change in metabolism just from the times of day you eat, it would be over a very long period of time that your metabolism took on effects. If you pop your…

I suffer too, though I don't take meds - just talk therapy. Don't have much advice on the matter, but you're not alone!

Chicken and carrots! I have a running joke with friends that I'm doing a self-experiment to try to turn orange from eating carrots (seen in a House episode) because I love them so much!

Is 2000-1300 below maintenance calories? And is this how much you eat every day or do you fast longer than a day?

Hey, just out of curiousity - were you eating 1/3 speed foods at every meal on slimming world? Do you eat a lot of similar meals from day to day or get a lot of variety? If you do tend to eat the same things, could you maybe give an idea? When you say you're a big sweet tooth is it like a binge at night, lots of snacks in…

OP I have never tried WW, but I did join SW when I wanted that first boost of motivation to eat better. Not the same, but similar, I guess especially because I am gluten intolerant and pretty much never bother with pasta or rice even if it's free. I think it can be great as an encouragement to eat more healthy food choices…

Everything you've said is how I feel - I needed it to kick me up the butt and now that I've got the momentum I'd rather just apply the plan without paying a fiver every week to get weighed... Once you've been to a few weeks of group it's all just the same anyway!

I'm 5'2 (and a bit), or I am pretty much 159cm exactly!
