You'll never lose any weight if you eat donoughts.

I eat 3 meals a day and generally have a snack [not necessarily a healthy one] after dinner, which is usually my biggest calorie meal. If I grazed on snacks all day I know I'd eat far too many calories...that's just me.

Ah youth <3 Hopefully you'll last a lot longer than 55 OP and when you get there you will again hopefully realise that you want to be get even older. I'm 70 and know that to 'let go' as you put it is not a good idea as I want to be as fit an octogenarian, nonagenarian or even centenarian as I can .......NB....I come from a…

Hi @ChriS_51 welcome back :) I've read your success story post...which is very inspirational. I lost 50lbs and kept it off for well over a year and then gave up smoking so it all came back with a vengeance lol.....here we go again! I find this particular thread very friendly and I would be happy to give and receive help…

I only buy mini bananas for kids [about 60/70g] and eat a whole one. I leave the avocado stone in and put in the fridge for the next day.........the brown bits don't show when the avo is smashed on toast.

I'm glad people have been able to give you information. I know nothing about practising Yoga but would just like to say I hope it brings you positives both mentally and physically. :)

Better than the 2 jam doughnuts I ate yesterday...which put me over my calorie allowance...ouch :'(

I was brought up C of E [Church of England] then became a born again Christian Baptist but now do not like any form of organised religion so I feel if I gave anything up for Lent I'd be hypocritical.

My doctor said my high cholesterol was genetic and so I am on daily medication for the rest of my life.

OP ....I'm on 1200 calories and am tracking calories, carbs, fat, fibre and sugar. MFP have set fat at 40g and fibre at 20g and I have been following this for 2 months now and am as 'regular as clockwork' movement wise. If I were you I'd pop to the doc and see what she/he says. Edit: Just like to add that I drink a lot of…

I remember a work colleague who wanted to lose a few pounds and said she'd heard of a fabulous new diet where you could eat as much fatty food as you wanted and you'd lose weight, as long as you didn't eat vegetables because they would make you put weight on.......well, she did just that and in no time at all she'd gained…

So OP what did you choose?

Ultimate Start Weight 180lbs Challenge Start Weight 171lbs Easter goal 161lbs

If MFP has given you 1200 calories a day it will not go down at all because this is the minimum amount.

@mph323 wrote.... Oh, and I wanted to add - does anyone else remember back in the 70's (and maybe later) every single diet in every single woman's magazine started off with a 1200 calorie goal for everyone? Except for the one's that out at 900 and you worked your way up. No wonder no one ever kept off any weight they…

Taller & younger people can reduce their calories as they lose weight but someone like me [aged 70 and 5ft] start on the lowest calorie allowance = 1200 with nowhere lower to go. I do have a strategy to overcome this though.....as I lose weight [10lbs lost and 40lbs to go] I will be able to do more and more exercise to…

Congrats and happy maintaining :)

^I do this, it is so simple yet so effective

OP...If you have to ask what to drink you are not a 'drinker' and I have the feeling that you will enjoy yourself whatever alcoholic drink you choose....you certainly deserve to :)

Yes to all this :)

I'm 5ft [aged 70] and have 50lbs to lose altogether. So far I have lost 10lbs in 7 weeks [weighed in today] ....... 4lbs first week with water weight included and then 1lb a week. I am consuming 1200 calories a day. I am obese though so when I get nearer my goal the weight loss will slow down...probably to 1/2lb a week or…

Well Albert Einstein didn't waste away :#

My Weightwatchers digital scale is set to stones and lbs. It also shows fractions in 1/8ths. Last weeks weigh in read 12 stone 4 3/8th lbs. I have no idea about the eighths........does anyone?

Glad you had a good time and thanks for the recommendation.

I do hope your mouth is hurting less today :) ....I'd be worn out from that let alone having a late night

Ah we are next week for half-term and I am looking after my granddaughter for a couple of days....can't wait!! What films are good for a 6 year old?
