Thanks for the kind words it helps keep me focused! Ready to be very good all weekend and hope for the best come Monday. I WILL not get back into bad habits! I am just starting to feel more comfortable with myself again!! Will power WILL be restored and I will dance like a maniac on sat morning at Zumba!!!! A bit…

I found taking colpermin tablets which you get in supermarkets really good.

I have been using this app properly now for 3 weeks and I feel exactly the same! My pie chart will say I am over fat and carbs etc but then list says I am ok? Not really sure how to take this? Also no matter what I do I am always over sugar! 2 pieces of fruit a day and veg puts me over....surely I shouldn't stop eating…

Ooohhh will have to remember magic stars. Aero bubbles have been in fridge since Xmas and havent touched them. Will weigh out and only eat grams I am allowed. Think I will go for it. At least I can test my self control cause that is my big problem!

Do you know if she adds any extras? When I counted calories of just meals, milk and some fruit and veg I still had 200ish calories left before exercise so I have added things like nuts, fat free jelly, yoghurts and an occasional treat. Do you think this is ok?

I would def start measuring yourself. I had a good loss first week but that is to be expected when you stop eating junk. Last week calorie counted everything, worked out 6 days out of 7 (some light workouts but better than before) felt great couldn't wait til weigh in and lost.....1lb!!!! Was gutted!! But this week I…

Ok now calculated food for tomorrow adding in nuts and quorn and I'm over my fat allowance!!!! No win here!!! Think I will stick to calories and hope for the best!

On back of all the comments today I went and bought almonds, cashews and quorn slices to up protein and down sugar. Fingers crossed!!

It's a marshmallow sweet. 30 calories no fat.....although reading posts above think the days of meringue and flump snacking are over :(

I am following diet chef at the moment so the meals are all through that therefore can't really change carb level at the moment. I am adding two portions fruit and veg, yoghurt and jelly and a few treats. Will maybe try to cut out meringues and add nuts or cheese or something. Maybe some quorum slices to add protein. Got a…

I go to the gym in the evening so eat most calories when I come back. Sugar is always high....even without meringues (which are my sweet treat!!) is this going to stop weight loss?? Wish this was easier....trying so hard!!

Sorry thought it was!! Public now! X

Thanks guys that makes me feel better! Ur right....it could hav been worse!! Avoided the crisps and the choc that my man was munching for the first time in ages!!!

I followed this for 2 and half months during the summer. It worked well and at first was fine but found i got very bored and sick of the foods allowed. For me i ended up bingeing on foods because i had deprived myself so much. I think long term its pretty hard going even when u can introduce foods. If u can be really…

When i go out for lunch i often have a baked potato with a yummy filling. Nice and filling and if you are treating urself u could choose a slightly heavier filling. Also i love a burger so often hav one but ask for extra salad or veg instead of chips and depending how good u want to be u can take the top off the bun! Enjoy…

I realise this isnt the worst in the world and there will prob be worst to cone just disappointed i did it in my first week :(

Thank u guys. Think this forum is really going to help me get through this....hopefully with a positive outcome!

I am really curious to see if I have lost anything in my first few days but also know I will be totally deflated if I haven't or if it looks good tomorrow then rubbish on Monday. sneaky peak tomorrow or hold out til Monday?????

I find that I like to eat lots of things rather than just 1 bigger thing. I still like to snack and knew when I started this I needed to find things that were reletavily low calories that I could fill up on. For my lunch I usually have a salad or soup, a yoghurt, a jelly and a bag or rice cakes, one bigger item wouldn't…

Thanks guys! Feeling a lot more positive....long may it continue! :)

ok am slightly confused by answers..............I take it from some of them that it is a yes too much sugar but by a lot or not? I assume this is better than eating chocolate bars etc?

I have only just started with my fitness pal so cant speak directly forthis diet however with others i have found that when extreme changes are made the body tries to hold onto weight then all of a sudden a lot of lbs will come off when ur body finally!! Also muscles weighs more than fat so doing a lot of exercise might be…

I eat constantly and eat when i am not hungry!! So i still find i need to find something i can snack on guilt free. Low fat jelly v.low calories, meringues 50 cals each for a sugar fix, raw veg and beetroot....i tend to eat a lot of these between meals as they are low cal snacks. If u can find something low cal u like u…

Thanks guys :) as i am 155lbs and tend to give it my all and really let loose and sweat heaps i have put it at 400. Think i need to buy one of those machines that tell u!! I try not to eat my exercise cals but kind of nosey to know x

Ok may be a silly question But how do u know how intense it is? I get my heart rate up and sweat a lot!!!! Cheers forthe web site

Pretzels are good for being less cals. Or weight watchers do quite nice spicy tortilla chips x

Meringues and pink and whites...only 50 calories each!!!
