I have to do this long term too even when I reach target, I believe sugars and grains made me ill! I don't feel deprived like I did on other diets. I am slowly getting into exercise, walking every day! I have joint pain too Twibbly and digestive issues are a total nightmare for me (I have Ulcerative Colitis and IBS)

I am following low carb high fat too, watch youtube videos butter makes your pants fall off. Feel free to add me, I have been following this for 43 days now and love it, I feel so committed!

ooh get back in the knife drawer mr sharp! I gave up on the shakes and the hypnotherapy, I do like to try everything before quitting completely, I now do Slimming World and exercise and have more success! How about a nice snide remark now!

I have just joined Slimming World Online (U.K) I was wondering if I can log all my foods on MFP and do all my sins too? If so can somebody please buddy me and help me out? I have 5 stone to lose! :blushing:

lots of negative comments! those who go bingeing after this plan are silly, you need to make the lifestyle choice not to get back into the bad habits :grumble:

Hi, I am a newbie too, my PT dropped 2 by last night so I am going to try tomorrow. I am using them as a meal replacement because of a bowel disease, there isn't much choice out there and due to different meds I have gained weight again so I am going to give Herbalife a go. I will have to stick to a real basic meal of…

yes I have it set at 30 min. too, with long sitting periods of up to 17 hours a day at the computer then it's reasonable to get up every 30 min. I hate numb bum :bigsmile:

HI, I have had my UP since April and I love it! Today I walked for 22km (30.000 steps) I only walk, don't do any other fitness due to a medical condition but feel free to add me Helen Smith blue green picture

Hello, I want to speak up for this too, I bought the iPad app Virtual Gastric Band and I listen to it every night before bed and so far I have lost 7kg in 3 weeks. I don't diet but eat healthy and all home cooked meals, I drink lots more water than I used to and I am exercising. I know it is each to their own but if it…

Hello Daphs, I have added you and sent you a message, lot's in common and started today. I used Champix too and I am now 4 years smoke free, that stuff works! Well done! Helen

I have added you too, you can never have too much support with this.

I always start with a 15 min cross trainer warm up followed by: Day 1 20 min. top half weight machines, 20 min. core exercises then 45 min. interval on the bike (3 min. reg. 1 min. speed) Day 2: 20 min. bottom half on weight machines and squats, lunges, 20 min. core exercises then 45 min. 45 min. interval on bike. swap…

LOL! I love doing planks but only do them at the gym, I do two in total one I can hold for 1 min. the second one I do on a powerplate for 45 sec. (wobble wobble)

My favourite is sandwich Burgen soya and linseed bread with chicken breast and a side salad

I weigh in at a chemist every week and they have a scale which does the weight, height and bmi but you need to pay extra for the fat measurement, I think I will try it tomorrow, out of curiosity. :happy:

Hi, Great topic and very interesting feedback from everybody. I have a personal trainer and my session with him I burn between 700 and 800 calories in an hour but when I train on my own I go for 2 hours 45 min. cross trainer 30 min. core and resistance training and then 45 min. bike and burn 1200 cals. I work out 5 to 6…

Today I had a cup of raspberries, a cup of blueberries and an apple. Fruit is good for you and it's a sweet treat for when you need that energy boost. :smile: Enjoy!

Lemon, garlic and rosemary chicken whole chicken - remove insides and stuff with quartered apple and quartered lemon shallots chopped sprinkle over chicken and rub chicken with dried rosemary chopped garlic sprinkled over and add a small amount of water cook on high for an hour then slow cook for 6/7 hours basting several…

Hello all losers and all newbies :flowerforyou: I will be joining this week again, I start my nightshift tonight so food is going to be all over the place but I will log everything, I promise :happy: I haven't been to the gym yet and have to weigh in and take measurements, I am curious to what 'damage' I have done over…

Hello all, sorry I have had a naughty 7 days, no exercise and very bad diet that I thought best not to log due to the calories. I am putting it down to the stress I have at the moment. :ohwell: I have started logging today and I will be going to the gym to weigh myself and do a 'little' work-out. It is such lovely weather…

I make a smoothie with soy milk, 2 bananas and oat bran (good for bm) :wink: :laugh:

Hey Katie :smile: I love the beginning of the month, start again where failed before. I have tried many things previously and got lost so hoping this month will be better. I have a fitness goal for August: 1 hr cycling to add to my target of 5000 km by my birthday. Plus I am toning my muscles, 1 hr of circuits and free…

Hello Girls, I see you are all flying the flag so fancy all things bad. This is extremely difficult but you can do it. My last time was buy Lindt dark 85% put it in freezer in seperate bags with two squares, those two squares are just 100 cals. but because it is frozen it will take a while to melt in your mouth. :tongue:…

you can even count housework as exercise :wink: Yesterday I did an hour on the bike and an hour on circuit training, no housework :happy: I am still on nightshift, last one tonight, my body clock is all over the place :grumble:

Katie you have done well, I lost 1 kg which is 2.2lbs :happy: Do you have a set programme at the gym? Would love to know. I have been working nights and I am absolutely knackered, my food is a bit weird because of my sleeping times. Last one tonight, going to treat myself with either a grilled tuna steak or a grilled steak…

LOL Erika :laugh: Welcome Purplestar, a stone is a start. By setting yourself a fitness goal that stone will fly off :bigsmile: I started my weightloss journey in May and started the gym at the same time, I could only manage half hour a day but now I could stay there for hours but my trainer said because I train every day…

50 grams of soya yogurt 100 ml soya milk (I prefer the unsweetened one) 1 cup of blueberries 2 medium bananas 11 grams protein 6 grams fat 56 grams carbs 11 grams fibre roughly 300 cals for two glasses excellent for after a work out, filling too :happy:

Hey Snorker, welcome to the group :flowerforyou: I think I made wrong choices today, I didn't go to the gym, had naughty lunch and had a thick slice of carrot cake :tongue: Did make some gingered pumpkin soup for dinner tonight which is low cal. and I will have a strawberry and banana smoothie later tonight as a treat. If…
