I lose more weight when I eat junk food. I think it's because junk generally tells you exactly how many calories are in it, but I think I underestimate the calories in other stuff which is less precise. It's also because I'm like "well I can only have this", whereas if I have a salad I'm like "sure I can have 10 more…

Your body looks great, of course, but my GOD your face looks beautiful!

not that kind of smoking, I presume...

At the end of the day, it's what works for you. 1200 is a pretty arbritrary number (coming from a Biologist here) and yeah it's too low for some people and too high for others. I think a good guideline is to never try and lose more than 1lb a week (unless you're very heavy, then more is OK), so create a deficit of 3500 a…

I don't have one really! I used to eat plain spaghetti with cheddar cheese grated over the top, but now I tend to avoid food and stick to gallons of fruit tea and lucozade :)

Wow, why are people so angy about thigh gap? It doesn't sound to me like anyone on here is 'obsessed'. At the end of the day, everyone likes different things, so if they like the way that looks (and a lot of people do) then they are going to aim for that. Some people might not like the look, but not want the painful…

Actually it gets worse with weight loss. When I had a BMI of around 26, they used to touch and be fine, but anything less than that (all the way down to BMI 18 and perhaps even lower when I was younger) they have touched but very lightly, meaning that EVERY leg stroke brushed against each other. At the heavier weight they…

Just forget about it. If it's 90 calories to start with then the fruit juice can't be worth that much. If it's 10 calories for the juice even and you don't log it, over the whole year of doing that every day that's 1lb you lose that you didn't expect.

HAVE YOU...GOT A BRAIN TUMOUR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

45 minutes walking 45 minutes on the dance mat

Does it really take you 30 minutes to prepare lunches and an hour to get ready for bed? Cut it down to 15 minutes each and you've room to work out for 30 minutes and have a quick shower.

I split my time between Lancaster (term-time) Portsmouth (Christmas and Easter) and Norfolk (Summer)...

Why would a University student deserve your comeback? I am a University student who has lectures and laboratories and catch-up work 8-6 every day, then I work 4-6 hours a day. Am I just 'some [lazy] college student'? and to the poster, I try and use my dance mat for half an hour before bed and I walk to and from the shops…

me too, hate taking my bra off also, if you're all so uncomfortable, are you sure your bras are fit correctly? i don't even notice i'm wearing one

keep going hun x

Most of England says takeaway but the North West (where I'm at Uni) they say takeout. They also say 'pants' instead of 'trousers' here too, unlike the rest of the UK (to my knowledge).

Same, I weighed maybe 5-10lb more at the most but this time I'm eating better and exercising more.

If it helps I always fail on the 4th day...

Thanks everyone! :) It's been useful...I think I'll just have to try and stick to wine and maybe get half a pint of beer every now and again.

Just think, you can't really gain 5-10lb from 1 binge. 1lb = 3500 calories. So you'd have to eat your BMR + 3500 to gain just one pound. It's water weight. That's how I cheer myself up after a binge :)

I can see that looking gooood.

I LOVE the ice-skating vision. I think it's one of the nicest ones published. I would happily wear that myself. One of the benefits for me will be being able to wear baggy clothes without them looking like they actually fit :P Otherwise I have a few different ones: Hareem pants with a nice pair of sandals and a nice short…

If your cold is causing you to be sick you probably need to see a doctor. Vomiting will make you lose weight anyway but I mean this sounds like more than just a cold.

hydrolyzed protein is just when the protein has been split into amino acids, just what your body is going to do to it later

Perhaps it's harsh, but it's just something that you hear time and time again and it gets frustrating. I just went to look at only peer-reviewed journals to see if I could find anything, and it's barely mentioned. When it is mentioned, it stresses that it is long-term starvation that can cause this effect on the…

You'll get a lot of replies based on the theory of starvation mode, which no-one on MFP actually seems to understand. 1200 calories is fine, but the generalization that "less than 1200 is too low" ignores the fact that everyone is different and different bodies can handle different things. I wouldn't recommend a diet of…

I do! Especially fat people that order lots of food then a diet coke (even though I know I personally prefer the taste...) Although I do a lot of the same things myself. I always overorder takeaways, like I went to Burger King yesterday and ordered a vegetarian burger, chips AND some chilli cheese bites. It's because all I…
