If that's your weak time then eat then. Don't fight it but allow for it. Fighting gets so frustrating then a vicious circle. Take some calories from the rest of your day, use them when your weakest. Try to eat something protein as it does fill you up more but if it's a boredom thing or depression thing go with whatever…

Nice to see others are doing the same thing. Thanks for the company.

If by safe you mean, will it get ruined, then I'd probably think the chlorine would damage it. Maybe look into a better supporting swimwear.

You people are fantastic, thanks for the help. I'm starting to get my head around it now and wow, has my walking improved!

Thank you for the responses. Some great information there. I had a look and it says in MFP exercise section that it is a FitBit calorie adjustment. I also checked FitBit and I do have my profile filled in. I'm going to start recording exercise in FB and see if that helps but will definately try looking into the information…

one of the most moving things I've read for a while, thanks and congratulations. I'm so happy for you. People have no idea the amount of energy And thought overweight people spend on even the smallest things.

I can't see the photos. Any clues anyone? I am seeing the photo bucket square asking if they are my photos. Congratulations on your huge life change, well done.

All of the above and BEETROOT. It's amazing how it works. On one of my regular BP checks my BP had dropped considerably so I went through the things I had done differently that week. I realized I had eaten a lot of fresh beetroot that week. I researched and sure enough, it is known to reduce blood pressure. Try it. I roast…

okay, so I'm guessing a fitbit isn't the way to go.

Hi, it is really confusing when you first start isn't it? If you really are eating only 900 calories a day you probably will gain at first then it will settle down and you will lose. This is totally dependent on all the correct information being entered. The most important thing is to establish whether you have entered all…

Integration Aide here. ( Education support ). one thing I know, is teachers love to have special morning teas. I constantly find myself saying " those who indulge bulge". It helps most of the time but we are emotional eaters, mostly, I think. Add me if you like and good luck.

Gaining 8 pounds in 2 weeks is most likely not muscle weight. I use the WII board weekly to weigh and I find it the most reliable of the various scales I've tried. Make sure your batteries are not going flat, always put the board on a hard floor not carpet and weigh the same time of day wearing the same clothes. I agree…

Try to not think about the weight you need to be by that date but the clothes size. You can be losing inches but not weight. That's happened to me plenty of times. Your body changes and adjusts as you continue. The worst thing to do is give up. I know it can be confusing and frustrating but keep doing what you've been…

That was amazing to read, bought a tear. I can imagine how you felt sitting in that car. I'm so glad you went for it. What a fantastic result. Best NSV I've heard for a long time. Well done.

What are you talking about, that's a huge difference. Well done, you've done a great job. It's hard for us to see how well we are really doing, we're so critical of ourselves but believe it, your well on your way.

Hi, first let me say congratulations on choosing to change your life style. That is the first, and most important step. Try to forget the word exercise, concentrating on your food and logging. This is the most important part of weight loss. What you eat. For now, until you feel ready just think ' move' not' exercise'. I…

CONGRATULATIONS That's fantastic. I used to be a 22 and now I'm starting to buy some 16's so hang in there. One size at a time down it goes.

Rumour no 1there's a guy who lost 166 lbs Rumour no 2he's on steroids. My opinion ---- wait till they announce the winner, it may be you . If it is this , maybe fictional, guy make sure you know for sure he's on steroids before you start even more rumours. I think it's near impossible to lose that much and certainly not…

It's strange to feel so proud of someone I don't even know but I am so proud of your achievement. How exciting for you. Well done.

Plus and I love it.

If it's the difference between me eating pizza etc with hubby or throwing a frozen dinner in the microwave, I'll take the dinner. You'll see them pop up on my diary occasionally. I buy. Aldi international cuisine and try to have a couple in the freezer for when there is no healthy left overs and emergencies. They are high…

Hi, I'm an Aussie. Feel free to add me and check my diary for food ideas and calorie content. I mostly shop at Aldi and woolies. I rarely have to work out calories, most things are in the data base. When shopping I just do a quick divide by 4 to get a rough idea before buying. Bread , be careful, don't overdo it but by all…

Thank you for sharing just doesn't seem enough. Feel proud , you deserve it.

I love my Lorna Jean pants. They were a pressie from daughter as an incentive and it works. I just wear $4 singlets from KMart, perfect, good bra and Asics runners. I've tried a few other brands on, they look nice on the hanger but don't feel like my LJ's on. I need more clothes but not sure what to get myself now. Might…

Loving some of these,thanks. I love the idea of the crockpot but struggle to know what to cook in it. This w ill help.

Well, I'm changing weigh day to Monday. Let's see if that helps. I'm also going to try find an exercise buddy & try to mix things up a bit. Can't give into old habits, need to go forward. Thanks

Thanks Jenny. Great idea, I have a couple of ideas. Time to really mix it up now I think.

Wow you look amazing. I'm so confused to see you still weigh the same yet look like you have lost stones upon stones. How is that possible? Even in the second photo of the the five kilos you lost with no exercise you look like you lost 4 times that. I can't get my head around this one. Great job, keep doing whatever you're…

Thanks for the suggestions, will take them on board. Exercise more & changing weigh day sound good. I'm just annoyed with myself at the moment, feel like I'm losing momentum. Thanks.
