Id love to join, im at my heaviest at the moment Start weight 171LB Goal 132Lbs 8/02 15/02 22/02

try increasing your calories, when I was eating at around 1200 I wasn't loosing any weight, I needed to be around 1400 on an average day and slightly more on work out days. hope this helps :)

personally i save some calories for supper, I normally find something like special K is satisfying or if im wanting a nibble I eat it dry, its rather nice Another one I like is low fat cheese, pickle and crackers with beetroot and pickled onions in the right quantities is low calorie and very filling x

Have you tried eating more filling food? if im hungry on a night I pick on beetroot & pickled onions, I buy low calorie crisps & wholemeal rice and bread It makes a massive difference, are you drinking plenty of water? if you could share abit more info I could try and help abit more, whats your job like, are you busy up…

I make my own Jellys, two sachets of sugar free jelly crystals with one sachet of gelatin with 500ml of boiling water once melted poor into a shallow dish, cut into small pieces and tip out not as nice as haribos but its still satisfying :) disposable take away dishes work well or line a roasting tray with clingfilm x

Today I had chicken marinated in tandori & chilli powder with pasta and mayo I make homemade soups normally in my slow cooker and I can eat alot more of that to feel full than a tinned soup Have u tried cooking extra at tea time for the next day? I normally have stiry frys, chilli, spag bol and curry and just have a very…

i DO A CHICKEN JAMABALYA TWIST chicken breasts, 2 peppers, 2 onions, garlic, chilli, passata and jerk chicken seasoning + 200g of whole grain rice does at least 4 large portions and its delicious even nice in the roasting bags throw it all in on 180 for nearly an hour x

have you tried a "treat Tin" were you can put on the front in big writing how many calories are in each treat and fill it with mini chocolate bars, lollys, sugar free sweets and low calorie treats? I found my favourite chip stick crisps for 87kcals which I was really impressed with x

I do still eat takeaway food but ive gone from around 3 times a week to 1-2 times a fortnight. Trick for me is to save the meals I really enjoy to a weekend when I would normally eat a takeaway. Mastering a lower calorie alternative helps me vastly! So I now can make a beautiful Indian curry, i have mini nan bread with…

Hi all its abit of a steep challenge but I will give it ago im currently 167lbs and I would be happy with 153 but perfect would be 146 for me. im 25 and 5 ft 5 I am loosing alot slower than most I think its due to me not liking many veggies, if anyone has any great loss's please feel free to share some tips with me! X

I dont hardly eat any veggies as I dont like them either only ones I do like are onions, potatoes, Peppers & green beans My weight is coming down but a hell of a lot slower than everyone else, one way I can get them into me is through soups Have you tried different homemade soups? I puree everything so my favorite it…

I dont weigh in on that week either, dont get demotivated though it can show around a 3lbs gain but comes straight back off a few days after its "water weight" to be polite! still stick to your calorie goal and keep excising its good for any pains x

thanks guys, Im rather fussy thats why I think I dont like alot of snacks, I dont like, mushrooms, Hummous, veggies, peanut butter or pop corn lol Ive tried adding a low calorie options hot chocolate to yogurts which turn out quite nice. Id say low calorie would be under 200 but if its filling its worth more :smiley: Il…

great thanks x

try mixing up your dieting and increasing your protein in take, the more protein I eat specially on the days I excersise seem to help me increase my loss x

IVE INCREASED MINE FROM 1200 TO 1400 AND I EXCERSISE TWICE A WEEK, I LOST 3LBS IN THE FIRST WEEK OF INCREASING IT X

track your inches its more rewarding ! I lost 10 lbs before i changed dress size now ive lost another 5lbs and im nearly back down to a 12 but I do alot of pilaties and zumba which is more toning than anything some weeks i lose nothing on scales but lose inches x

Try the recipie forums, seeing other peoples lovely meals really helps me get on track and even low calorie treats, sugar free jellies and home made crisps then u can still pick but be good. Plan your meals for tommorrow and shop for that or do an online shop so your not as tempted to buy "naughty" items You cant pig out…

I totally get this two i can be really good monday-thursday and soon as friday night hits i think TAKEAWAY! but I like the meal deals and i can eat, eat & eat. Afterwards I feel soooo bad sometimes even sick, and I just think why did I do that?? Sometimes I dont even want it. I am learning to get better though and started…

WELL WHAT RECIPIES DO YOU ALREADY DO? SO PEOPLE DONT REPEAT WHAT YOU KNOW? X

I find tracking measurements really helps give a confidence boost if the scales arent moving much but ur doing the right thing. Im excersising alot and want to get my size back down to a 12 (UK) if that means Im 12stone but a size 12 im happy and if im 10 stone and a size 12 stilll just as happy, Dont get too concered…

I weigh less in the morning than i do at night I think it can depend on if you have eaten, drank any thing and to put it polietly if you need to go to the loo or havent been yet

Helen do you have FB? in search engine type slimming world, theres also a group called low syn slimming world meals which is fab the ladies help each other Books are on sale on ebay, but you can sign up online for an online member ship id maybe recommend a month online till you get the hang of it then you can do it on ur…

I use MFP to log my food I eat on my SW plan, Sometimes is does go way over my calorie goal on a very hungry day just dont let it put you off. Stick to SW like your supposed to and if you maintain or have a gain its easier to look back over what you have been doing :) I find it great to put all my receipies and things into…

Its great that your aware of your problem!! :) I have personally found eating more often with the right foods has helped me boost my weight loss. to stay healthy we should be eating a minimum of 1200 calories. If you stick to your goal for the week and have a day off this shouldnt massively effect ur weight loss if at all.…

I find eating more helps me loose more, I have only started using this again, but the more I eat the more I lose. Obviously I mean of the right types of food not junk, get plenty of fruit, veg and protein. Try having smaller amounts of carbs I like chicken the best and go through shed loads of chicken breasts as I bulk…

^^^ I love this!! totally agree my dog is apart of my family just as much as everyone else in my eyes

I would in a heart beat if it ment mine could make a full recovery Paid for xrays and medication for mine and found out she has something wrong with her hips, if I didnt pay for it I wouldnt have found out and could have caused my pup more trauma and quickly now we no she has to take it easy or arthoritus will kick in alot…

Hi Ive had IBS for years mines more severe bloating from eating high fibre and too many carbs. Ive found eating as much fruit and veg in a day that I can and only having a small portion of carbs in a day helps, my weight loss is slow but its sure coming off!! I find if im having pasta for dinner il have something light for…

I wouldnt have thought so as I did the Ducan Diet a while a go and after the 5-7 days of just protein you do alternate days of protein only days and i lost loads of weight! X
