Cutting out my carbs seems to be the only thing that works for me. Not only does it make me lose weight, it makes me feel fantastic too. However, cutting out carbs is not just a diet, it's a life style. Opposed to what other may think, I believe you can easily live a healthy life without bread, pasta, rice and other food…

I swear by my GHD! I have very curly and frizzy hair and the GHD straighteners are the only ones which manages to get all the kinks out. Love it. :happy:

It is good for you but you have to make sure you rinse your mouth with water straight after to get rid of any residue on your teeth.

Fantastic, well done! Reading your post made me smile, awesome reference!!:flowerforyou:

Thanks so much guys, this certainly helps! :happy:

So i've been at this for a month now, haven't lost much weight but I feel amazing. :happy: However, I have a question about how to make up the calories. I'm very precise when it comes to tracking my food and calculating its calories but I find that I'm always left with about 600 calories at the end of the day (after…

Don't despair!! I've been at this for almost a month now and have only managed to lose very little weight. But I know my wall will come crumbling down at some point, just keep at it and remember that at least you're being very healthy! :wink:

Well done! This sure gives me hope as i've been at this for about two and a half weeks now, the pounds ain't dropping off. I do feel a lot better though and I have lost some inches, especially around the waist that even my colleagues have commented on..so I keep going and hoping that one day my scale will tell me I am…

You're not alone! I've been counting my calories for over two weeks now, seem to do everything right but my scale isn't budging. HOWEVER, I do seem to have lost weight around my middle and in my face too, my clothes are fitting better and I feel amazing so I must be doing something right! :happy: Don't lose the faith!

14lbs in three weeks, WELL DONE!! :flowerforyou: I take my inspiration from people like you so thank you for sharing your story. I've started almost two weeks ago, I haven't weighed in but I am already starting to notice little differences, I simply feel great! Losing weight is never easy but like you, I keep reminding…

From one UK citizen to another: WELL DONE!!! I only joined this site last week and am totally addicted. Am really happy I found this as it's made me more motivated to lose weight then ever before. Keep up the good work!! :flowerforyou:

Weight Watchers Chocolate cake bars, 85 Calories per bar :laugh:

I started out reducing my portions but I found that what I was eating was still killing my calorie intake, so i've started swapping certain foods for healthier ingredients and have upped my vegetables. I am staying away from chocolate and chips and if I do have a craving, I go for weight watchers chips. I agree that it can…

I found this great Black Bean and Corn Chilli recipe today which i'm going to try out. Only 100 Calories per serving so I will probably add some chicken to it and eat it with brown rice or a corn tortilla. Ingredients (makes 6 servings) 1 clove garlic or 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 cup onion 15 ounce can black beans, drained,…

WHOOT!!! Well done! :drinker:

Great ideas, thanks for those! :flowerforyou:

Great post, just what I needed!! Thank you! :flowerforyou:

So, Breakfast I've got sorted, Special K is a staple in my diet now and I usually have some yoghurt with fruit for lunch. I'm just struggling to find healthy options for dinner. My main issue is that I live with my boyfriend, a healthy bloke who can eat a horse for dinner, so how do I keep him happy without giving myself…

Hey, welcome to this site! I only signed up myself last week and absolutely love it. I too want to lose at least 50 pounds, so good luck!! :flowerforyou:

Well done on the weight loss, keep up the great work!! :drinker: I'm not much of a sweet craving kind of person, I am addicted to crisps however (chips to the Americans) but I found Weight Watchers crips the other day, around 75/80 calories per small bag which is awesome! If I do have a sweet craving, I drink a Pepsi Max…

Thanks so much for the ideas guys, this really helps! As for the work out dvd's, which ones are really good? I downloaded Billy Blanks's boot camp dvd once but got bored with it really quickly. Unfortunately I don't have the room at home for big gym equipment such as an exercise bike or a treadmill, my boyfriend and I live…

I'd love to sign up with a gym but because of the current financial crisis, I simply can't afford it. :grumble: So I've invested in some home gym accesories like a fitness ball, some weights etc..These are great to work out with but I was just wondering what other people use at home, or how everybody else works out as I…

well done! That gives me hope! :wink:

Welcome! I only just signed up myself, we can do it!! :wink:

Welcome Australia! I lived in Melbourne last year (my partner is an Aussie) and miss it terribly!! Good luck with the weight loss :happy:

Go you!! Keep it up :bigsmile:

Howdy everyone, so i've been on myfitnesspal for about a week now and I am SO glad i've discovered it. I've been struggling with my weight for about two years now, I gained about 20kg two years ago and haven't been able to lose it, worse even, i've gained another 10kg! yikes! But I think determination and support from…

I love snacking on rice crackers with just a little hummus spread on top...

Good job!! :drinker:
