I’d ask more why the binges happen. Are you eating enough cals? Emotions? Habit?

Apologies, just seen another one of your posts re anorexia

If you were eating such low cals (800-1000) AND exercising every day then really you could have been around 4/500-700 cals a day. Or even less if you were exercising vigorously. Sorry to be blunt but this screams ED. Especially the part where you say you would ‘binge at 1200 cals’ then do an hour aerobic exercise after.…

Sorry but even just googling cocoa vs cacao - there are literally thousands of sites explaining the difference. I just posted one of the first sites that popped up. It is roasted vs cold pressed. Cold pressing preserves more vitamins. We can agree to disagree though! I understand a calorie deficit is how to lose weight.…

@appulum I’m UK based and a lot of the companies here use Cocao as spelling. But I see it should be CACAO. So apologies for my spelling. I’ve found lots of brands on Amazon. But I’m looking for the lowest calorie/lowest carb & most don’t display the nutritions. They’re quite expensive so id like recommendations from people…

Hi, I have a 5 month old and have only just started the weight loss journey. I was too sleep deprived before to stay motivated! Plus I wanted to just chill & enjoy my baby. Good luck!

I’m doing it but only twice per week. I ache too much to do it daily I don’t know how anyone can do it every day! She’s a great motivator. Feel free to add me! I’m on level 2, will progress to level 3 when my fitness has improved/lost more weight.

Add me, I log daily and will check your diary too for motivation!

Please add me I log every day but only have 1 friend currently!

Thanks for the suggestions! I’m having Trouble finding how to add or accept friends on here? I love avocado, dark choc & nuts which are all quite calorie dense. I don’t exercise much which I guess means I can’t earn many extra calories. What foods would you recommend as really low calories? Things I’ve found to be quite…

Thanks, what do you mean do by my own numbers? I’m saying yikes to the 1230 calories :neutral: I’m at 1350ish a day at the moment & struggle with that. Not sure how to cut more. So many different calculators give me different ratios, but all around the same calories

Nearly 9 months, no BF. Been tracking for 3 months. Had a junk food/sugary diet previously. Tried a few more online calculators, averaging at: 1230 calories, or 1420 on exercise days. Yikes! 35 carb/35 protein/30 fat macro %

Thanks Panini - that is music to my ears! I used to gag at dark chocolate so I’ve come a long way too ;) but I still can’t have biscuits & kinder bueno in the cupboard - I can’t be trusted! With a diet break, do you just eat healthily? Or just add treats? Don’t want to undo it! I eat 2 x fish or meat every day, but only…

Thanks! Pre logging is a good idea :) I think getting up with the baby during the night has some affect on my appetite too? As I’m tired & crave sugar. Second time baby weight is really hard to shift! I lost it all without even thinking after my first baby. Do you think it’s ok to keep the chocolate in? How could I get…

Thanks for the responses! Yes I use electronic scales & weigh in grams. I enter everything truthfully. I find that by dinner time I’m ‘running out’ of calories. Problem is I seem to crave sugar, I’ve cut a lot of chocolate out, and now have got my taste buds used to a 25g of 85% dark chocolate. If I eat say fruit & yoghurt…
