-60lbs(ish)

You look superb!! Well done you

FitBit's are great - but they don't monitor your heart rate - You'll need a HRM (heart rate monitor) to do that. I LOVE my FitBit, but the sole purpose I use that for is for calculating my steps & it encourages me to get up and move around much more when I'm at work sat in the office. FitBits are great, but it really is…

Between £80 - £110 per week (Depends whether I need cleaning products etc.) But typical food shop would look something like... Veg & fruit (depends what I've planned to make for the week, but typical things are: Lettuce, greens, Stir fry veg pack, onions, garlic, bag of mixed peppers, new potatoes, green beans, cucumber,…

Hi! My diary is open & I log in daily! Just back from holiday & struggling to get back on track so could do with some more friends with open diaries for some new ideas & the additional support would be appreciated! Feel free to add :)

I love 'The Hairy Dieters' books. They have a whole section dedicated to 'Fakeaways!'. The books are about £10 - would highly recommend having a look at them. You may be able to find some of their fakeaway recipes online for free!

I wouldn't worry yourself over 0.4lbs. As most have said, could be due to many things - probably water retention. To be honest, I wouldn't even be concerned if the number was must higher. I've been on holiday for almost 3 weeks & 'gained' 7lbs. I knew the majority would be water due to the amount of crap that I drank/ate &…

Sounds good! What section are they found in? Are they fresh in the fridge?

I used to have this often if I was in a rush, but annoyingly my local Tesco has stopped selling it?! (if it's the one I think you mean with the black turtle beans & mixed peppers in?!). M&S do a similar one but a little higher in calories & price - SOOOO good though!

I log my spices as I use quite a lot in most of my meals. Even though it might only be 2-3 calories for a tbsp for most of the spices I use, it soon mounts up when you use a fair bit daily!

I agree! The South Korean diet looked yummy!

I think Ireland was 33 or 32! I know it came in just before England.

Whoops - Correct! Thanks for pointing that out! :flowerforyou:

It was on Channel 4 - so you'll be able to catch it on 4OD

Yes! My Mother is Italian so I've been very lucky growing up. As you say, I think the key with the Italian diet is their attitude towards food & how much emphasis is put on sitting down & enjoying our meals as a family. We always spent a minimum of an hour at the dinner table in the evening when I was growing up (much…

Nice one!! You looked awesome before, but even more awesome now!! Go you!!

Awesome thanks for all your suggestions! I've been shopping and stocked up on lots of high calorie dense foods!

Thank you for all your suggestions so far :) he is doing research & reading up online, but thought I would post here to see if I could get any suggestions as there are a lot of knowledgable people on this site! Just been to the butchers & bought lots of chicken & steak. Think packing plenty of calories into shakes will be…

Thanks! Ahh yeah, full fat milk! He just uses skimmed because that's what I have. Simple swap but didn't even think of that! Will make sure I buy some full fat for him. Ta!

Honey!!

How about buying some of that low calorie pop corn? Sugar free jelly pots? Dried fruit? Nuts/Seeds?

Keep at it & you'll soon reach your goal. Can really see the difference that 36lbs has made - bet you're dead proud of yourself - well done :flowerforyou:

I often cook my chicken with skin on as it does keep it moist! I remove the skin before eating & count it as 'skinless chicken breast'.

Awesome - you look great!! I'm just about to finish week 2 of T25, so got a bit of a way to go - but will post results once complete! Keep going you look amazing!

Congratulations on your loss so far - that is AMAZING! Doing something you enjoy is really important, so if you enjoy swimming - then swim! Anything that gets you moving is a good place to start. I agree with Gypsy, home videos are a great way to start. Not only can you do them in the comfort of your own home, but they're…

My first reaction was 'BLOODY HELL'! Well done!! You look AMAZING! I've just started T25 but looking to invest is in P90X3 after completing T25!

You look brilliant! Well done on your progress so far & good luck with the rest of your journey!

I eat a lot of fruit & it's never impacted on my goals, however, I still eat a good amount of proteins & fats along with the carbs!

Amazing, well done!
