Lots of health reasons unfortunately not nessacerally carbs but need more of the other foods that I wasn't eating.

I think I have seen and read so much about cutting carbs, eat more protein and fat I thought that was what this whole healthy eating, way of life should be after being in a culinary bubble for so long. I have all my info in and I have a calorie target so I will, like you all have said, start there. Thank you all for your…

It has just been hard transitioning from being vegan when I used to eat unlimited amounts of these food and still lose weight. Its like i have had to re-educate myself about eating. I am just finding a starting place hard.

Bread is my biggest downfall. Well bread, potatoes and well I could eat fruit all day long. I am just a carbaholic and if I had my way I would be a carb munchining happy vegan again

I agree over thinking it and over complicating it. Calories are simple. I just thought I would give something new a try. Thank you

My calories are 1460 and I want to lose weight approx 2 stone/ 28 lb

A stone is a number on the scales we in the UK use, a stone is14lb, half a stone 7lb, 2 stone 28lb and so on. Op amazing job, you will drop the other 2 in no time

Yep n the UK we call a fanny pack a bum bag, a bum bag i dont know why, a fanny pack is worse we call a foo foo, lady garden, a vagina a fanny, vulgar I know there are worse names it is called.....anyway I don't know why they are not just called belly bags. To answer I don't think they are the nicest things to wear but I…

Thank you for your replies. I didn't know if it was just a silly idea but I suppose with everything give it a go and see if works which I am sure should if I stay within my weekly budgeted calories.

This is what I was thinking just a little treat at the weekend like a glass of wine or two nothing silly like gorging and starving the rest of the week.

I just finished say you're sorry by Ian C.P Irvine. Absolutely brilliant book it would make a great film.

Nearly 39, i can not wait to be naughty 40!!!

I never weigh I judge by my clothes. I have no idea how much I weigh or how much I have lost in the 6ish weeks I have been healthy eating but I do know my clothes feel so much better and I can visibly see a difference. Try something on that was feeling a little snug and maybe you will see/feel the difference ☺

My eldest was bullied at school not only by the children but a teacher!! She had an ear condition which meant her ear leaked. Her first operation was when she was 4 years old her last one was when she was 16 years old. She is now 24 and a very confident adult. She decided these bullies are the ones with the problem and…

I had a golden cocker spaniel called princess Kya, a sprocker called prince willow and a chocolate lab called lady Isabella. If I had another fur baby I would call her duchess Arabella. My mum had princess kyas sister and she was called princess Sasha, so Sasha to me is a beautiful, sweet name.

I suppose everyone is different. We all deal with things and our emotions in a different way. It was the fact that I had let myself go made me feel ashamed and disgusted not what the scales said that number has encouraged me more. I know the scales are a tool like my car and every car I have had is a tool to do a job for…
