I'm 24 and looking to lose 30 lbs... just came back from travelling which was an amazing experience but think I enjoyed the local cuisine a little too much! My big problem is exercising, joining the local gym on tuesday so fingers crossed I get my bum into gear!

By far the best post I have ever seen on this forum. thanks!

I would also like to know this - i love sushi but the rolls are alot bigger than what we'd get in england! x

twit twoo! you look great!

Hi all!! I've just tried this recipe: 1 banana 1 egg nob of marge for the pan and although it tasted great, the pancake struggled to hold its shape. I'm not sure whether i did the batch too large (one large pancake rather than a few little ones) but does anyone have any suggestions? xx

Hello tomorrows breakfast..... sounds yummy!

wow thanks for all your great suggestions!! great stuff :)

Sushi! I also have a lot of the weight watcher meal on fast days just because they have a reasonable 250-350 calorie range. xx

me too! :)

bump i would like to know too! x

i had to google what angel food cake mix was... sounds delish! gonna try and order some off amazon as apparently you cant buy it in the UK?? xx

hehehe!

what a great post, thanks!

I am currently doing my own modified version of the 5:2 diet:- 2-3 x a week i reduce my calorie intake to 500 calories. I read this as net calories, so I often do 30 minutes of the elliptical trainer to burns extra calories so that i can eat more. The days of the week I try and stay sensible on my calories, aim 1200-1500,…

bump!

thanks! :)

You defintely need to lose some weight........ about 180lbs called your "boyfriend". what a *kitten*........dump himxxxxx

Soudns great! Weight 165 lbs Height 5"6 Age 23 Leicester, UK Happy for VDC requests!

Hi, i follow the 5:2 diet but on a alternative or 4:3 basis. On fast days i try and stay round the 500 cal mark and bump it up the next day to my usual 1200 or so. on fast days i tend to eat my allowance during work hours then skip dinner at night, but i know alot of people do the opposite, it really depends on what suits…

Yeah i dont really like the idea of logging it at all as i've alway thought of it as cheating and not "real" exercise! xx

I have massive issues with sugar... I've started eating alot of fruit and other "healthier" low calorie choices but obviously these are absolutely chocca in sugar! xx

thanks, i was wondering about that too!x

I lost around 2 stone last year from something similar e.g. introducing spike and fast days to my calorie counting. But I've recently come across the 5:2 diet and on my first fast day today!

Added! :)

my work computer is full of quotes... this just made it on there :) x
