As my auntie would say I have a mouthful of sweet tooths so I know the feeling! Generally I allow myself to have a low cal hot choc/mocha sachet at home with a few biscuits or portion of cake every arvo and it does the trick. I could never cut these treats out and still enjoy my life

I use my TDDE, which means I dont log my exercize unless its very unusually execssive Seems to be pretty good, really about trial and error, if you lose then up and and if you gain then reduce the cals a bit Good job and good luck in the future!

Maintaining on about 1800-1900 (TDEE) Open Diary, Feel Free to add me as a friend

For me its was all about trial and error, just increased calories to a point where I didn't lose anymore and didnt gain either Enjoy this new phase :)

Yeah just stir it in almost at end of cooking, adds creamyness and a bit of tang

You're welcome, I just thought it ws very eye-opening and I am currently trialling eating 1900-2000 cals per day in the hope I can maybe 'heal' my body as it discusses

TDEE will include your activity in it's calculations so you dont really need to eat back execise cals, but when maintaining you still could. Every body is different so you just have to up cals until you stop losing The only exercise I do would be an hour brisk walking 3ish times a week

Im about 164cm and I'm maintained at between 1700-1800 cals (not very active either)

This is interesting and worth considering, definitely on my mind... http://www.youreatopia.com/blog/2011/9/14/do-i-need-2500-calories.html

Its about trial an error for me and Im currently 122lb and mainating at about 1700-1800 cals Check out your TDEE for better guidance rather than BMR

Having to wear about 5 layers and experiencing amenorrhea

1. Low cal mochas/hot choc 2. Capsicum 3. Apple 4. Oats 5. Wrap bread

You've done the hard bulk of it. like others have said allow for a 1 or so kg movement area or you'll go nuts. Try and keep it natural, eat when your hungry and eat good stuff :)

I am in a similar situtation although not as severe yet fortunately. No period for 6 months, bloods all fine, 'healthy' BMI (20) and my doctors have just labelled it as being caused by stressed and to wait until the end of the year. For me it's just trial and error, having some periods of not logging, taking magnesium…

Goji berries- they're not cheap and have an awful aftertaste

CAKE! But I don't really cut out anything I crave, I just watch my portions and make it fit

Cake and ice cream! But I usually allow myself some cake/ biscuit a day or I would go nuts!

As of late I'm not 'logging' everyday, but I'm commenting everyday and checking in so feel free to add me

Goji berries!

It's all about the numbers, as long as you control your cal intake it will work well.

increasing portion sizes, adding cheese and oils to dishes, adding nuts e.g in stir fry, having a piece of bread on the side

I eat puffed wheat with yoghut, very low cal and virtually now sugar!

chickpeas, apples (one a day), capsicum and brown rice

Cut up some cheese, chuck some sweet potato (prepacked) chips in the oven and make a basic salad

cinnamon and walden farms maple syrup

Just more awarenes of portions and I now know that, just a few more squares of chcolate can make a big overall difference! But I still allow myslef treats daily, just make sure there is more balance

goji berries--I don't think I would say disgusting but just taste bizzare to me, very strange after taste (and I loove dried fruit on a whole)

maybe have a smaller lunch a big sized dinner

off a sppon, on toast, on crackers

No veggies, chips, CHOCOLATE, ice cream, cakes, sugary soft drink and two servings of dinner
