  • Always happy to support and share. I've been fixing my weight for around 18 months now and am about 1.5Kg/3lbs off my target, so I would love to share/receive advice/encouragement about exercising and increasing calorie intake to a maintenance level. I am UK based and 51 (for the next few weeks - eek) Add me if you like,…
  • Thanks scubagirl - really helpful website and I'm glad to hear you are finding your Fitbit useful. Girls lunch was delicious and I didn't fall too far off the wagon.

  • Hello all on this thread What a brilliant, inspirational bunch you are - thank you for sharing all your stuff. In this month my goals are: Keep logging in food diary Keep walking my puppy every day (15weeks old, Cockapoo, my first dog, gorgeous!) for one hour. Add other regular exercise - rowing machine in corner of room…
  • Brilliant - well done. Great NSV. Get rid of all that big-size clothing and know you'll never need it again. Good luck with the 5K too. Congratulations.

Use skimmed or semi-skimmed to keep fat content down. I think a decent rule of thumb for eating is "breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and supper…
  • Porridge is good choice for cereal. 50grams cooked up with 300mls of semi-skimmed milk and 150mls of water takes 10minutes to cook and it's a slow-burn carb so will keep you energised all morning. I don't take sugar, but some do - or a little fruit compote on top is nice - maybe blueberries or pomegranate and raspberry.…
  • No, don't give up - it will all come right again if you stick at it. Maybe go back to basics and re-examine what you were doing differently when you were meeting your goals. Cold weather is harder too. Good luck.
