Is it indigestion?

A tomato sauce. The tomato sauce you put on chips is 'tomato sauce', not 'a tomato sauce'.

My partner bought home one of those 150g of crisps on Friday night. I didnt know until I came down to the kitchen on saturday morning. Half the bag was left and left on the side. I threw them in the bin. I cannot have crisps in the house, I dont even like them but I will sit there and eat them. I was a bit cross about it.

And not listening to it. I see

A couple of weeks ago I wasnt well due to migraine and I ate something along the lines of 500 cals for the day, I got 'told off' when I tried to complete my entries for the day, it told me I had eaten too little. How come OP is not getting this warning up when they complete their entries?

Well when it comes to it I will need a lot of research I think, we're in the UK so although obviously people do have cosmetic surgery I think we still have to have a referral from our own GP before we approach a company or whatever. I think its a minefield.

What is it about the body that means that fat loss can cause this problem?

Yes significant illness is always a good weight shifter. I lost a stone in one week while in hospital many years ago. It wasnt due to the illness itself (kidney stone) it was the fact that most days I was labelled nil by mouth because I was due to have a stent put in, but EVERY DAY the decision was changed, or I was…

Ah I nearly made that joke last night! Good to see it

That idea frightens me a lot, I think I would have a breakdown, how can water make up that much?

If I ever get to the end of my goal, I will have dreadful dreadful skin. I am covered in stretchmarked, ripped skin, which is very very thin. Its going to be a car crash. I am preparing for this mentally, I think I might need to invest in some corset type underwear to hold it all in Then Im going to get a loan out to have…

Surely its not possible to only eat 500 cals a day and NOT lose weight, you must be a medical miracle.

Just picking up on the IBS and joint pain, it might be that grains or wheat were simply the problem for you, rather than carbs per se. So when you cut out the grains/wheat whatever by default you help those issues? I dont eat a lot of wheaty products, I dont eat a lot of bread and when I do I find my joints hurt and my IBS…

Theres no way you've put on 2lbs after 3 days. I log everything but if I know I have gone over my allowance for a sustained length of time like a few days, a week while away, I just ignore the scale when I get back for a week or so. And then once Im back I just get back to the calorie allowance and carry on like nothing…

I feel differently to the advice given here by others. I would just get right back to what you were doing and weigh yourself next week or even the week after.

Im not someone who particularly craves sweet foods, savoury is my thing but sometimes I do want chocolate or something, so I have quite a chocolaty hot chocolate drink that I make up with milk. Its hot which means it takes time to drink it, its sweet and chocolately too, so it sort of manages all the criteria for managing…

I did this once, put peanut butter on toast, grated cheese on that, then chilli flakes on that and put it under the grill. Cheese on toast on top of peanut butter, it was fantastic

I always need tons of butter with it. Its very salty and always gives me mouth ulcers. I like it though

I cant really see the pictures properly because theres a pattern on the mirror, but even with that, they dont look too much different

I like the way they advertise 'beat scams' even though what they put on the front cover is virtually a diet scam

I certainly do sit around a lot but that thread you posted is quite interesting. I am an absolute terrible fidgeting, my legs are always jiggling, foot tapping, hand clenching, putting hair up, putting hair down, then back again and so on. Its awful, its sort of involuntary. My feet are banging into each other now and Ive…

Oh ok, so you changed your activity level from sedentary to the next one, to the next one and so on and so on? I suppose that means I have to start moving around more! I think I might do that once I get lighter. Things are still hard work at the moment. Knackered after just doing a bit of hoovering.

Whats neat?

That seems an awful lot. I went from 266 to 265 on Wednesday and the calorie allowance didnt reduce Then today I lost another lb (despite saying I wasnt going to weigh myself for a couple of weeks!) and only then did it take 10lbs off. So around 5 cals per lb?

Well I find this really interesting (Im a bit nerdy). I went into another website to play around with the figures as I didnt want to change my weight on this site as I keep getting glitches where its changing my weight without me knowing My BMR is about 1600ish,, just to keep me alive. Im sedentary so when I add that in,…

Oh ok, I think I get it. Im just nosy and wondering how it works, its quite interesting I think. And if Im really honest I trying to mentally prepare for eating less. I think I would struggle to eat much less than around 1500 per day. Still mustnt think of the negatives. Im quite pleased with how things are going and want…

Hold on, Im trying to work this out now and feel I have misunderstood So it works out like this? 264lbs x 4.5 = 1188 1188 x 5.62 = BMR or is it 264lb x 4.5 = 1188 264 x 5.62 = 1483 1188+1483 = BMR That doesnt seem to equate with my stats on MFP (by the way Im asking this just out of interest in how it works)

Thanks yes I know the concept, I was looking for the ratio. Yes as time goes on I would change the rate of loss. It is currently set for 1lb per week as I want it slow and steady. At present it is coming off 2lbs per week. I am coming to the end of the 9th week and have lost 18lbs. I suspect this will slow down as time…

Ah this is what I was looking for, thank you.

I know that? Thats not what I asked. My stats are already in the programme hence why I know what its reduced for me. Your calorie allowance goes down as you lose weight as you know. Im interested in how many lbs it takes to go down 100 calories per day as time goes on. At my current weight, its gone down 100 calories after…
