You can still do it, even if you don't have time to exercise (I don't either) BUT, I have to agree with the others - I was shocked at how little you ate and what you ate. You seem to have very little variety from one day to the next, as well as the "meal bars" (which aren't meals). There's plenty you can cook up that's…

You could be me! I'm around 155lbs at the moment and think I'm just coming off my 4 week plateau. For the last couple of weeks, I upped my calories a bit, so aimed for around 1550 per day and my body seems happier for it. I've lost a couple of pounds over the last week again, which takes me to just below where I was 4…

[puts hand up] I'm yet another SAHM - my daughter is coming up for 3 and my son has just turned 1. I'm almost down to my pre-pregnancy weight, which is fantastic, so only a few more kilos to go until I'm at a "me" weight! If anyone would like to be friends, please say!

I think the reason you don't feel hungry is that you're unwittingly teaching your body to not complain about the lack of calories going in. I'm also one of the people who completely plateau'd (for 4 weeks) when I ate fewer calories than my recommended (1250-odd instead of 1550) and it was only when I made an effort to…

that's really interesting you should say that, because we're the same height and I'm a size 14 and 155lbs

I've lost 10lbs and my clothes fit properly now - no drop in size, no bagginess... makes me wonder how badly I was squeezing in to them! I'm 5'6 with a curvy build and honestly can't imagine myself as a size 10... maybe a 12, but I haven't been a size 12 since my late teens!

Hi there! I've never had an eating disorder but had a bit of an epiphany 10 years ago (gosh, that long already!) when I realised that my choice of food was really quite unhealthy (never junk food, just processed) and made a big change to my diet and consequently, my lifestyle and values. I'm currently tracking my food as…

I'm not on it, but it doesn't sound brilliant for you. There are loads of other Pills out there and there's be one that suits you better. Just talk to your Doctor about it.

ach, jelly's ok - it's mainly water!

Hi! I'm from the UK too... and just a teensy bit envious of your 12lbs in 2 weeks! I've lost 10lbs in 9 weeks, but have hit a plateau for the last 3... although the scales told me this morning I had gone back down a bit, so here's hoping that the downward trend is back! Good luck!

I guess you've probably gone for the majority view here - don't do it. Bear in mind that a lack of certain nutrients - like folic acid - can cause serious problems for the developing baby, like life-threatening problems, such as spina bifida. So whilst some may say they did and all was fine, it's not something to be…

French women do get fat though...

No problem! I love cake too, as well as, well, food in general! lol I'm like you, I need to log everything, warts and all, so that I can be honest about what I'm doing. Today I had a Zinger Tower Meal that, er, didn't quite get offset by the 5.5 miles I apparently walked! When I started this whole weight loss malarkey, I…

hi there! I would eat your BMR calories tbh... after all, they are the min your body needs to survive on at rest, so seeing as you're not resting, there's bound to be a deficit. I've also taken a quick peek at your food diary (my first glimpse at someone else's - I feel a bit naughty! hehe) and you have an interesting mix…

oo, thanks for that! I'll have a look at the workout website! As for BBQs, I've found that you can pack in a good few burgers and yummy things as long as you don't have buns with them! I guess I'd far rather see the fat fall off without lifting a finger, but hey, if it were that easy, everyone would be healthy! I'm also a…

For anyone wanting to see the consequences of serious fasting, visit a Middle Eastern country during Ramadan! Concentration levels drop to such an extent that offices close in the early afternoon. There is also a noticeable increase in traffic accidents and road rage.

I was at 26.7 or something and MFP suggested 1350... I thought that was too low and moved it up to 1450. I've been sticking to it pretty much and yes, my weight loss seems to have plateau'd, sooo... I'll be bumping it up again to 1550, cos I lost 9lb at that intake over 5 weeks.
