:SW 243lbs CW 236lb GW 220lbs Lost 2lbs this week. happy:

I'm 31 and having the time of my life since I've been in my 30's! Anyone feel free to add me :smile:

86 cals for 30g serving! YUM I have it on a choc chip snack a jack, or salted rice cake or just spread on banana!

Wow 9.5 marathons, thats AMAZING, what an inspiration, and to be 1lb away from your target must be such a fab feeling. Sometimes people have to critisize to make themselves feel better, its easier for people to moan than congratulate! Just let their comments slide off you.....water off a ducks back! My family follow a…

Oh that is a good one! Brilliant, hope you don't mind but when I start personal training I will be using that analogy!

Forgot to post on Monday :grumble: SW 243lbs CW 238lbs (yeah stayed the same last week, so a 5lb loss for me this week!!) :happy: GW 220lbs

And apparently people are panic buying because David Cameron suggested we all top up our petrol! :angry: :grumble:

Best thread ever!! Any single UK guys, north west (if I am going to be picky!! Petrol is expensive now a days :wink: )

Hello from Bolton :-)

Hello, Feel free to look in my food diary, I try and keep Carbs to 40%. In my first 2 weeks (27/02/12 - 11/03/12) I lost 11.5lbs. I try to eat 6 small meals a day, this stops me feeling hungry and snacking and also regulates my blood sugar. I drank caffeine but didn't drink any alcohol. I also keep off nuts just because…

Sw 243lbs Weigh in 19/03/12 243lbs Didn't lose this week, but its that time of the month, which will explain it, hopefully I will have a big lose come this monday!

I plan and log most of my stuff before I eat it, that way I know what i can and can't eat. Sticking to 6 small meals helps me with snacking, I used to be bad for it in the evenings and at the weekend, now I sticked to what I have planned and it fills me up! Good luck, feel free to add me!

Well said, I have started to see food like this, suddenly the thought of binging on sweet sugary food seems pointless, and snacking on chicken breasts and tuna becomes normal :-)

What a fab idea, I will do this tomorrow afternoon!

Well you can sort a problem unless you are 100% honest can you! I didn't realise how amazing life was until I stood at the top of Ben Nevis last July and was literally on top of the UK and from that point I knew anything was POSSIBLE!!! I cannot wait to change my life for good this time, and I have the support of people on…

My mum and dad used to tell us when we were little to eat all of our dinner and then we could have desert, so I used to eat fast and cram it in. I also used to save the "best" part of the meal till last and then I would be sure to eat whats on the plate. I still eat like this now.......... I am a big comfort eater also, I…

Weekends and evenings are the worst for me too! On a Sat night I love to watch a film or TV with a massive bowl of chicken wings and sour cream, and I didn't realise how many calories were in them until about 6 weeks ago when I logged them on here.....oopps! I have been really good for the past 3 weeks though and found…

I tried a snack a jack, spread with cadbury philly last night, it was a taste sensation and will be my new "treat" snack from now on!!

I had goat the other week, it does taste good!!

Hi My name is Jaqui and my biggest temptation is sweet food and portion size! But I want to be healthy and also can't afford to keep buying clothes in bigger sizes!! I have whole wardrobes of clothes in size 12, 14, 16 and 18, and by the end of the year I want to be back in the 12/14 size! This site helps me be accountable…

I gain/stay the same the week before and then straight after I have a big loss. Also the week before I am always so hungry, I am experiencing this now and will have to eat up to my daily allowance of calories when normally I would strugle! Normally though I would comfort it, I haven't this month!!!

I always keep tins of tuna in my desk at work, low in fat and carbs but high in protein. Also Omlettes, I normally have 1 full egg and 2 whites, that why you keep the protein but reduce the fat! :-)

I need some snack ideas, I will be trying some of these out :-)

I go to the most fabulous gym studio and the people there are brilliant and motivational, we have all pledged to lose 1 stone by Easter and if we don't there is a forfeit, mine is a 3 mile run (I cannot yet run!!), I am 2.5 lbs off target and got 4 weeks left! Also if I don't go for a few days or I am ill or anything like…

I'm 31 and still start things with the phrase "when I grow up" I buy my mum cards from her little princess I love Pink! Having craft time with my godson is the best and I enjoy it more than him!!

I have noticed and its really bad, I have to stop myself saying stuff all the time. I have always bought fresh food though and I get quite preachy about always cooking fresh food rather than having processed stuff.

Start Weight 243.5lbs 12 Week Goal 220lbs By then I will be able to fit in all the clothes that I did 3 years ago....Yeah!!

My target is 1600 a day, although I find without exercise I can be satisfied on 1300 ish and 1600 with exercise. It is working at the moment but I will need to change it after a few months! Feel free to look in my diary! Also, it may just be extra water you have gained, weight fluctuates like that. Don't let it get you…

Hi There, I would suggest more protein if you are going to the gym. I like to keep carbs and protein balanced at 40% each. Feel free to look at my diary (i think its public!) I am not saying that it is perfect or anything by any stretch of the imagination! Good luck and well done for planning!

I've changed my percenages too, 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fat, it works for me, I do a lot of workouts though which is why I have a lot of protein.
