Fruit. Fruit is quite high in calories but exceedingly good for you. Try berries like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, chomp on an apple or a banana. These things are all quite high in calories, good for you and you won't feel like you're cheating. Other alternatives, try various nuts/seeds, again fairly good for…

Yeah you burn 500-800 cals per hour depending on what excersize you're doing. As for eating them back, just have a sensible meal and try to take on a little extra protein maybe. Don't stuff yourself silly but don't starve yourself you'll be fine. Edit: Don't forget in the cold your body is working a little harder in order…

How do you feel? apart from confused :) Don't worry about it, if things are moving in the right direction then there's nothing to worry about. Muscle is more dense than fat is so if you're losing fat % and gaining muscle % you're probably swapping one with the other. Don't fret it too much just look and have a think if…

Sorry but that 'trainer' if they have any qualifications needs to be reported for saying what they did. Making light of your issue and saying you don't have a problem isn't going to fix anything, there are many different types of disorder not just over-eating or under-eating, a friend of mine has a disorder where the only…

Well done dude. I started a little heavier than you and am looking forward to when I get to your size. You're doing a fantastic job!

You are an incredibly strong and positive influence. Some people would fall into depression with what you went through and go in the opposite direction, but for you to turn it around and use it to make a positive change in your life is so, well, magnificent. Congratulations on what you've done, your children are so lucky…

Warmup - Weights - Cardio

Hmm, the people we're closest to are sometimes the most cruel. To be honest it sounds like your 'friend' has real self esteem issues and makes herself feel better by picking on you, what you have to do is, put those comments out of your head, and don't bother handing out with her as much, maybe ask her how she would feel…

Soon all the small victories will results in one big arrival at where you want to be. Good work, Keep it up!

Shish Kebabs are good, it's just grilled meat, however don't eat the whole pitta bread (or get a tortilla if you can) and drop the sauce load the salad as long as it's not dressed. I DJ so I'm often out very late with nothing else open and an hours wait/ride home I do treat myself once a week. It hasn't stopped my weight…

What kind of crazy metrosexual guy uses chapstick :) No seriously I often leave chewing gum wrappers in my pockets, the wrapping makes a horrible mess sometimes. Now I always try to remember to check my pockets.

:) Isn't it funny, some people might look at that and sneer, they don't understand. Most people (all people, I don't know all of you :) ) on here do understand what that means and it's a HUGE DEAL! I'm very close to changing my first number from a 3 to a 2 and when I get there I know it'll be such a rush :) Keep it up,…

Many small victories lead to one huge success. Well done!

That's cool. Is just an odd thing to come on and advertise in one of your first posts. Bots do that which you aren't as you answered back obviously :D

What Lisalynn said. And odd that you only joined the site in June 2010. Congrats on your loss though.

Great start.

I lost almost 11 stone starving myself (600 cals a day roughly) over six months. While I lost at an incredible amount weight what I wasn't doing was getting my body ready for 'normal' so to speak, when I did stop the 600 cals a day I ended up bouncing back up with a vengeance. Also I was putting my health at risk, I was…

Well you're certainly moving in the right direction! Keep going and good luck!

Sorry I don't believe the person in the first pictures is the same as the person in the 2nd. :p Great Job

I joined the online WW program. There was no support other than generic emails and personally I didn't find it that useful in helping me and thought it was quite overpriced for what they offer. MFP has kept me more involved as there's more of a community feel which is a lot better to be honest. I prefer this one :) but no…

We're all here for the same thing :) but not everyone can be an angel.

Cut yourself a little bit of slack :) We can't all be Mr/Ms perfect all the time you'll be fine! Relax.

Got the Polar FT4 this week. So far been really happy with it, it connects with the equipment in my gym and I'm enjoying using it. Gets my vote and it's fairly cheap in comparison with some others.

Runner beans go very well with salmon, a few new potatoes (if you're not carb shy) carrots, mushrooms? The honey soy sounds amazing, might try that next time I get salmon.

Aha. You have come to the right place :) Having had lower back problems for a long time I have a few excersizes for you. Handwalk stretch. Get on your hands/knees, keep your back straight. Take your left hand put it next to your right, next move your right around in a circle to the right until it's the same distance your…

Don't push your back, it's very important. When I used to play American Football back before I was 20 I hurt my back pretty badly, although it felt like I'd done something to my hip, saw a doctor, nothing was found, soldiered on through life feeling bad but getting on with it, every six months or so I'd have a bad flare…

Just got my first HRM. Wondering what to do.... Would like to record the walk from the station... do I put it on before I leave work (Hours tube ride before I start walking) I guess strapping it on at the gym is no problem... I presume no calibration is needed as it doesn't come up in the instructions. It's a whole new…

Appreciate the story. You must be very brave to be strong enough to help so much. And I agree 100% with what you're saying, I was close to getting into a similar situation people just don't realise how dangerous not eating right can do to you both Overeating and Under eating. Get the balance right folks.

I take the tube into work, on some mornings it's like a fight to get off, and that wakes me up enough for my workout.

If you feel good don't let the scales knock you back down. Unless you are cheating, in which case do better :) If you're following your program and things are going well by all means weigh yourself but don't knock yourself down because of a gain if you're feeling great from what you are doing.
