Thanks for that Koldriana, very detailed which I appreciate. I will rethink my 1lb a week target, perhaps 0.5 is more realistic and I am looking long term so no need to rush it, at my age I really only want to lose half a stone then maintain it. You are right about my lunch not being high protein, usually a veg based soup…

Ahh, Jennfranklin...I wish I had your willpower!! I have no concept of 'just a little will suffice'!!! I am one of those compulsive people with no 'full button' who can eat and eat... So my day by day attempt to manage this is to say sod the volume as long as it is healthy food I am eating, that's why I am interested in…

Hi, my op has stats apart from my age 40 and calories allocated by myfitnesspal is 1200. I suppose my main concern is how these calories are being consumed. Some people believe we can eat too much fruit for example whilst others say anything which is 99% water should be unlimited, like melon!! I'm just interested in any…

Fab advice ladies!! Lets hope I hit my 1lb a week target. I'm determined slow and steady will be the way!!

Thanks for the speedy response and advice I am wary of the balance between calories and Fat content when it comes to nuts and avocados etc ... I have a big appetite so fill up with fruit and veg Rather than a little snack of nuts...which I find impossible to stop at a few!!! But oily fish is a great idea, I will build that…
