I have lost weight due to walking and calorie counting using my fitness pal too! A day at work for me I could do 15,000 steps a day :) Good luck with your weight loss journey xx

I agree with the above comment I work as a healthcare assistant so I put my lifestyle as lightly active I’m 5ft 6 and weight 10.11 I only want to get to 10 stone so 11lbs off I put to lose 0.5-1lb per week :) and it’s given me 1490 calories per day The slower you lose it the more you are likely to stick to it :smile: It…

What is your height and weight? And how much do you want to lose per week? I’ve set mine to 1lb a week loss and I can have 1450.I find that suitable for me so I can keep up with it.:) slow loss is good as it’s maintainable :) Good luck with your weight loss journey xx

Thank you grace :) I wasn’t expecting a loss this week anyway :) Hope your weight loss journey is going well :) xx

Thank you hani! I’m feeling better about myself though not overloading myself with chocolate :) I might have a freddo treat today as they are only 95 calories :) xx

Thank you syrum :) Compared to the carbs I was having before it’s a massive difference :) I love carbs though! They are my favourite haha!

Thank you Ann :) Usually on my work days I don’t have a lot of protein as it’s very expensive for the meals at the cafe, so I take in them calorie counted meals xx I usually do something when I get home to up that :) And then on my days off I’m all about making fresh foods as I love making and baking from scratch! I might…

Thank you Suzy :) I just did it for a few days Maybe for research purposes :) I weigh myself once a week now :) I have lost already I can feel my trousers getting less tighter :) Every bit of advice of grateful and appreciated thank you xx

Thank you maxxitt So should I not pay much attention to the macros, just so the calorie counting as long as I have between 50-150g of carbs a day I’ll lose the belly flab? :D xx

I love pasta!! So I tend to just have that as a treat (lasagne) Birds eye do a bag of frozen vegetable rice 184 calories u could do that with some meatballs and tomato passata :) it’s lovely xx but again only a treat

Your not alone! Although I don’t drink wine During lockdown due to the anxiety and stress of it all, I have put on weight due to drinking ciders.330 calories per bottle!! And this is why I’m here You can however have beer or wine in your calorie deficit just not a whole 2-3 bottles hehehe xx

I have crisps the 72 calorie ones like squares or skips :) I love crisps so I can’t not have a packet! :P I had a fry up the other day but used the bacon medallions that are low calorie and low fat :D As for a burger I had a slimming world one on pitta bread with some homemade chips and salad.Now I would usually eat two…

Great stuff thank you! Someone told me I wouldn’t loss the weight on my belly! I know it won’t come off in one specific area but a few years back I didn’t eat for 6 weeks and I lost loads of weight and I had a flattish tummy (grief it was naughty I know) so it just didn’t make sense As I said I’m not expecting abs I’m just…

Thank you moosie So if I continue with the calorie deficit and lose the fat, I should see a bit of my tummy shrinking? Xx

I did my BMI and I was 25.9 I am now 24.9 so I have lost weight but I don’t know whether I have lost any fat Saying that I brought a scale the other day that measures body fat I think I was 33 or 34 and now I’m 30.8 so I don’t know if that makes a difference x

Hi Ann How do I know if I have enough total body fat? Xx

The first few days were the hardest for me doing 1500 calories...but then It got easier I divided my calories into 3/4 meals so that would be 350-400 calories per meal In Aldi they do Danish bread 51 calories per slice.2 slices with 2 eggs is about 200-250 calories... You can buy alpen cereal bars for 67 calories....apple…

I’ll look out for these thank you! Xx

I wasn’t keen on halo too I brought the cookies and cream and it just wasn’t that nice :(

I am so sorry! I couldn’t get on for ages...the community thing is playing up! It’s in Aldi it’s called giannis and they do a mint choc chip and salted caramel :) yummie!!

I wasn’t keen on the halo top...I brought the cookies and cream tub and it wasn’t very nice xx

That’s weird! When I did the IF I felt hungry after 8pm and wanted to snack with a film with some crisps or peanuts but doing the calorie counting I don’t feel like snacking.I fancied an ice cream last night due to the hot weather but then after a bit I didn’t fancy it. Isn’t that funny how we are opposite! I guess what…

I tried this...I lost 3lb in the first week The second week I lost nothing and I did the same thing as the week before so I started calorie counting instead and I’ve lost a 1lb a week.The quicker you lose it, the more likely you will gain as everyone says xx I don’t think it’s sustainable...Doing the calorie counting has…

I forgot to add some stuff 🤣🤣🤣 so yes ur right but I am looking forward to this lasagna 😛😛😛

Hi strudders!! Thank you for your advice :) I just found that I can go to + recipe and scan all the items individually.Then I created it and it’s come up as 159 calories per serving I hope that is correct haha! I only have 1 slice anyway and have some salad with it Yummie! I didn’t even know you could do this so both thank…

Thank you :) I didn’t know I could make the recipe I just thought you add each ingredient :) I make my own stuff from fresh! It’s all Italian/Mexican in this house I love pasta,lasagna,meatballs and enchiladas,fajitas and in particular I’ve gone mad on the nandos rubs so I rub that in the chicken yummiiieee I’ll do that…

Thank you Lorr xx I didn’t have my pizza in the end xx I didn’t fancy it in the end so I had a fry up instead yesterday but I brought low calorie/low fat bacon and sausages and it was lovely 😛😛 and I’ve stayed the same weight so all good :D I will try to eat more though whilst at work xx

Thank you pav xx I will try my best to have something more when I get home to up the calorie intake a bit... As you know we have to wear masks for the whole 12 hour shifts now and they are making me feel quite sick.Its very hard to want to feel like eating when you feel sick and hot But I will try my best xx thank you for…

Thank you Suzy xx :) It’s so hot at work and obviously now we have to wear the masks all day I just don’t feel like eating! It’s terrible xx Thank you xx stay safe :) xx

One day eating too much protein won’t hurt...but just don’t do it for a few days in a row xx I did that by accident and I had the worst stomach ache ever! Sorry for the info but I couldn’t wait to have my bowels open! Haha! But then again I have IBS so maybe that contributed to the pain x
