I follow this too. My husband exercises a lot and can eat his favourite chocolates without putting on weight but he knows he must keep them at work on on top of the cupboard where I can't see or reach!

I did something similar last week and ate a buffet plate of varied party food. I logged it as generic Christmas plate at 1000 calories, ate a 300 calorie dinner and didn't worry too much. Days like these are always going to come along, we can't avoid them for ever, so no point dwelling.

I meant to quote this one!

LOL! That's exactly what I thought today when I saw so many chocs and flowers at the supermarket!

Slices of red pepper take a while to munch through and feel more than 50 cals but aren't. Oat cakes are under 50 and quite filling. Snack a jacks. Raisins Crab sticks Bread sticks Sugar free jelly

Cake! I took my little girl to Costa Coffee for a treat. She chose caramel shortbread and wanted me to have a cake too so I picked what I hoped was the least bad - raspberry and almond bake. It tasted nice, not extra nice and was just 4 small bites. When I got home and put into MFP, it was 450 odd calories! I was…

I got a one week offer through groupon and was really impressed so have signed up for 15 weeks which totals £585. For that, I get breakfast, lunch, dinner and 1 snack per day to which I add some skimmed milk, 2 portions of fruit, at least 3 portions of veg and the odd ryvita or other snack. I'm finding the food tasty,…

I started out with just exercise, no changes to food in the first week and lost 3 lbs. Second week, stuck to 1300 cals per day and exercised and lost 4 lbs Pushed exercise harder in week 3 and stuck to 1200 cals and lost 2 lbs. Week 4 lost zero Week 5 lost 1 lb. Now week 6 and because of cold and flu have done no exercise…

Yes and veg. With fruit it's good to see just how much sugars they contain. I know it's natural sugar, but it can build up fast. I try to stick to 2 portions per day max. With veg it's great to see just how little calories most have! I like to have a veg snack, a salad/ veg side at lunch and half a plate of veg at dinner…

I have this too, always down on carbs and fat, but because I eat lots of chicken and vegetables I'm always over on protein. Hope someone can advise

I buy every veggie in the supermarket! One thing I find really good and easy are packs of stirfrys - at Asda, 3 packs for £2.50. It's a good mix of chopped veggies, but instead of stir frying them, I steam them for 3 minutes. Goes with everything!

A cup of tea. Assam with skimmed milk is how I like it. Oo, think I'll go and make one now ...

I think the rotation is a great idea. I'm currently alternating between level 1 and 2 having done 10 level 1's first a few more like this then I will try level 3!

It's a great all over body workout and at 20 minutes should be possible to fit into anyone's day. The style suits me - I get so bored with running or the gym, and I need the structure to keep going. I also love Jillian!

Hi, I'm Suzanne. I'm 38 with two kids aged 5 and 2. I've been doing the shred 3 or 4 times a week since Christmas, but I'd like to join you in doing it every day for 30 days. I've had some good success so far, so know it works. I'm in the UK and am 8 pounds down so far with about 40 to go.

After 4 30 day shred and low calorie days, I could feel my hip bones, which felt great. By 1 week I could notice in the mirror. By 3 weeks / 8 lbs lost, I could fit into clothes that haven't fitted for ages. That when friends and family started to notice.

Good luck. It's great fun and once you get over the day 3 and 4 ache, it gets much easier. I'm doing it on the days I don't do something else, so about 4 times per week. I've done level 1 about 15 times and can run through it easily now. I've done level 2 about 5 times and I'm still finding some bits a bit hard going.…

Really? Omg, that can't be good for you, your BMI would be off the scale - wouldn't it be better to weigh a bit more but be strong, fit and healthy?

I'm 32.5 and so first target is 30 to get back into overweight rather than obese. Ultimately I'd be delighted to get to 25, but if I'm in the zone with exercise and healthy eating by then, then I would be happy to get to 22.5. Below that I think I would look to skinny for my age!

I've done it 5 times over two weeks, now stepped it up with 3 days consecutive and rested today, but ready to get back on to it tomorrow. I tried level 2 last week and although I got through it, I'm definitely not ready for that. I'm thinking of doing about 30 level 1's before moving up to level 2. I'm amazed at the…

Hi, I'm on day 4. Going well, I'm not too hungry, but am peckish. Try veg snacks like carrots, peppers or tomatoes, or ryvita! And drink plenty of water. I've also been drinking fruit tea which stays off feeling hungry a bit. Good luck!

I'm on day 4 of a one week trial offer which was £29. I am really impressed. I haven't weighed in yet so can't confirm results but the average daily calories from the food provided is about 750. You add to this with fruit, lots of veg and in my case a few ryvita. The food is really delicious, so easy to prepare and the…

I've done level 1 about 5 time across 2 weeks and this week started to step it up with 3 days on the run. I'm aiming for 5 or 6 times per week. I'm really pleased with the progress though, I have about 40 lbs to lose but have felt my hip bones and definition around the edges of my stomach coming back already! I used 1.5 kg…
