Thanks..still seems to give me !,200 cals whatever I put in!

I have got bad stomach cramps tonight and constipated. Today had lot of veggies that are on the bad list actually. I had slim fast shake for breakfast.. pork & vegetable casserole for sunday dinner veggies were cauli, broccoli, carrot, swede, onion, celery, peas. I had about half the pan and other half has tomato & chilli…

I've been losing weight for a while now adn had reached my goal weight but even then my tummy was out of proportion to rest of me. I have got underactive thyroid and seen mentioned the 'doughy abdomen' which it fluctuates to been like dough to rock hard and bloated. It's embarrassing I have to either get bigger jeans that…

i have mushrooms and onions alot in curry's, shepherds pie etc... are mushrooms bad for bloat? I thought I'd heard they were and wondered if there was a list of foods to avoid anywhere?

Hi Thanks to everyone who answered... it should have said 'could' near end where it says 'cold'..missed the U! I was doing well with pedals as it gave me a way to burn an extra 500-1,000cals a day, but haven't been able to use it for a week and really feeling it. I've been awake since early hours for last few nights with…

ok thanks. I won't bother then. :flowerforyou:

no depression meds cause weight gain as side effect.

oh.. hadn't seen these replies when I put my last comment I thought only my question was still on! I have been trying to eat healthy and I had previously been exercising. I do weigh first thing in morning with no clothes on. I have had high sugar cravings lately only thing I'm thinking is diabetes or someone mentioned…

Ocado have Complan, Atkins, Maxitone or Bio-synergy skinny protein liquid diet plans that could be delivered tomorrow which is best?

I have hypothyroidism since birth and have been in wheelchair since age 35. so I can't do much physically but have managed to lose most of the weight I put on. I was always around 9st 7 when I was young and fit then went up to 16st in 2002. I lost weight very slowly over a few years and got to about 12st 7 when I joined…

lol..love some of your answers!... banana's are one of the few fruits I like. Usually I have banana for breakfast, an apple for lunch with carrot sticks..sometimes I have one small babybel as some diary is meant to help bind the fat so it passes through? dinner is fish or chicken with veg or salad..and sometimes a rice…

I didn't know gluten free food could causes sugar spikes? my craving so seem to have got more intense. i put it down to menopause as sometimes I was having 2 periods in a month, other times skipping a month and thought they were goning irregular due to peri-menopause. I did have fibroids too. several years ago I was…

Hi Thanks for answering..I forgot to say I been on T4 thyroxone since 23 months old as I was born with my thyroid not working. I was slim as a child after them getting medication right though was a very chubby baby for a while and bit behind developmentally they didn't find it until 23 months when i was not walking,…

I had lot of weight around my middle. I found I was actually gluten intolerant and just dropping wheat loads of the water came off. It then didn't take me as long to tone up the rest. I used kettlebell exercises floor and from chair (as wheelchair user) and my tummy is alot flatter now. I stay off wheat..if eat it…

I used these when I first started a d was 12st 7. I thought they were an exercise aid and originally only took them before I exercise to give me energy to do a workout as without them I struggled to do 20 mins with them I was doing 2 hour workouts from 5-7am. I exercised on empty tummy but I did eat rest of day but if…

I had 'pregnant belly' I cut wheat and went gluten free.. actually cut all carbs at first then slowly re-introduced them but using gluten free bread instead of regular, brown rice instead of white etc and have kept the weight off. I've lost 4st and gone from 12st 7to 9st 7 and have underactive thyroid and mobility problems…

I do pick up my dogs poo thanks very much!

I have been using canderel for years as I can't drink tea without sugar. I have recently switched to half spoon just for my sugar in tea and only have a tea in morning and before bed I try and drink water the rest of the day. It is easier to stick to water and salads when weather is hot but I'm in Yorkshire, UK and we tend…

They're rubbish I got one..it doesn't even wrap around your whole body just a wet paper thing that goes over tummy area you have to put cling film round to keep it in place. I even had one of those gym belts that make you sweat more around middle on top of it too and it didn't even stay on all day..after few hours I had to…

I knew I'd seen 5HTP before in a slimming pill or something!..I just looked up Capsiplex again and it's in that! ..thought it rung a bell! I do wonder if my sudden mood swings are to do with fact I switched to regular bread cos it was cheaper like 80p for a loaf versus £2.50 for a GF one which usually has much less slices!…

I'm gonna try switching to dark chocolate instead of milk as I do remember liking the Fry's chocolate cream bars.. ones with orange inside. My family often get my some brandy liquers for xmas present which are usually dark chocolate too but that's the only time I really eat it. what percentage is good to not make you NOT…

Thanks guys. Re my puppy he has allergies since i got him at 9 weeks his food has to completely grain free and fish based with occasional chicken and turkey. I did try him on a lamb and duck based diet but he found it too rich for his little tummy. He's currently on a fish and veg based kibble as I won a years supply of…

I tried low carb and when I do have carbs I have them morning then got all day to burn them off. I also found I lost more weight when I got up early and did work out before breakfast on empty stomach.

I don't eat red meat and use Quorn instead and lower in fat. I looked at Vegan stuff but they tend to use lot of nuts which I'm allergic to and soy which is bad when have under active thyroid as it blocks absorption of meds. What other alternative things are they? not sure what tofu is made of, or TVP?

I was born with mine not working so have always been on medication since a baby. I was plump baby but lost weight as got more active toddler and stayed slim through teens and early twenties. It wasn't until I had mobility problems in early thirties and my thyroid had gone into reverse T3 and was not converting my…

I'm already low carb and was managing fine with just one week of PMT cravings but with them been almost constant it's really hard and I'm constantly hungry and cravings carbs or chocolate. Just need something to STOP the cravings so I didn't want them then it be much easier to stick to diet. I tried slim fast chocolate for…

Thank you both! I seem to be finding it easier to keep weight off on Gluten free so will stick with it as now found replacements for my favourites. It's even harder finding gluten free dog food, but my puppy is also intolerant to grains! ..costing me a fortune with us both on special diets! :ohwell:

yes, I was looking for personal recommendations as I tried the Warbutons bread rolls but they are so crumbly they just fall apart and it's impossible to have a sandwich with them. The currant teacakes and sliced brown bread isn't too bad though but you can't always tell by looking at them. I was just looking for some brand…

There was a program in Uk about it and it's to do with your NEAT, how much you move about naturally (fidgeting etc). I have under active thyroid which I was born with. When I was young and active I was not overweight. When my thyroid went wrong in my 30's causing mobility problems I piled weight on. (reached 16st in 2003)…
