I go over the sugar most days by simply having two pieces of fruit! I have chosen to ignore the sugars as frankly there are worse ways to get sugar.

I have soya milk (which is fortified with calcium). and soya yougart. I also snack on almonds or hazelnuts. My chap has almond milk which is quite good as well. I supliment with a calcium tablet on my reduced days.

5ft 2.5 - currently 126 aiming for 116 I am trying alt. day fasting (as its been suggested with medical advice it is better for me with my various dietry and other hormone issues) - its not fasting as you eat everyday, its a form of intense calorie cycling. On a fast day I eat 300 to 400 cal (20% a normal day) On a non…

yeah - I would offer that the offical WW line is that it should be eaten to satisfaction - I think they dont really mean to eat a whole pineapple for 0 ppts, or 8 pieces for a day - when I went over three pieces I would then look at add some points for it. For me I found that I was eating silly foods to make uo the points…

This is why I left WW. I dont think points really teaches healthy eating. - it works well for weight loss, but when people get closer to the goal its harder and I dont think WW takes that into account.

yeah that seems right to me. - thats for a 20% loss. The issue with any of the sites / numbers is they arnt perfect. I have mental days at work (running back and forth with docs, dashing up and down the stairs) and then other days when I sit at ta desk from 8.30 to 1 and again from 2 to 6.30, my TDEE isnt the same for…

what Im doing / from what i understand - the idea is to eat between your BMR and your TDEE.. this creates a deficit which leads to loss. 15% to 20% reduction from the TDEE is the usual 1 to 2lb loss area. this is waht some people refer to as the Cut amount (i.e. your goal amount of cals) For me the Cut and BMR has about 50…

<SNOW WHITE! (can you tell ?!)

It also works well with frozen mango (on its own) Frozen berries are also good, but need half a banana to get the texture right.

I used scooby: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ fit2fat is also good and i usually double check on that with my measurements

tescos do a ham one and a tuna nicoise one- no dressings. pret do a crayfish and avocardo salad - dressing in a pot. the Sainsburys in town (and Morrisons local if you have one) had a make your own salad bar - which usually have some good leaves and bean choices (I usually buy a pot of olives as well.

hi I went and read lots of stuff on the eat more ; weight less board. I dont have a lot left to lose so I have worked out my BMR / TDEE and cut for seditary (sp) and then will add my exercise back and eat most of those calories. It doesnt leave me much wiggle room as I'm not that big. For me (at 5ft 3, 119lbs) that means…

try it! I dont have a lot of wiggle room but over the week its mean Ive eated 1285 cals a day which takes me above BMR which really seems to be the major key.

missdimpley : BMR: 1250 TDEE: 1500 CUT: 1300 Heidi - Thanks. its great to find it moving again!

on paper mine havnt shrunk that much - 32G to a 30F but they FEEL much smaller. I have always had larger breats - so its VERY weird to me. I think they are still proportionally large and they stick out more than my belly (which is the defining point in my world). They 'feel' less full though, although the chap doesnt seem…

Hi I'm a lactose intelloerance celiac - 120 lbs looking to lose 10 / tone up. I'm applying the eat more idea at the moment, but if you want to be friends my diary is open, pretty much clean and its mostly beans / portions I'm bulking up with to increase the calories. It is mind blowing at the start.. but there is so much…

thanks !

5ft 2 and a (very important) half. Currently 120lbs have an idea to get to 112lbs but its about toning for me, so will see what the scales decide as I go.

I USED to be one of those... then I went and read the Eat More Weight Less stuff.. OMG I am dumb! Im still struggling, but have stopped exercising as it was screwing up my net cals. I am aiming for 1400 cals a day now and trying to top out at 1500 so that much feels natural before adding my exersice back in. Feel free to…

I've really noticed this today - my hip bones are suddenly hidden when I had been seeing them before.. Im slowly upping my cals and its hard to know your squidgier than you were. My stomach is also bloated and solid ! I am hoping its mostly water and the upped levels of salt / my body getting used to exercise. however.. I…

kiki thanks so much for the vid/ link and for sharing your experiances / advice! Quick Q - you say to eat my TDEE to reset.. but one of my biggest issues is understadning my TDEE... Should I use the one I get for being seditary (as if I dont exercise I have a very desk job / train / sofa lifestyle).. but I was doing 40…

thanks - I will have a look when I get home.

If Im trying to eat carbs I have overnight oats - they are quick as you have to do them the night before and really fills me up! If I want proteins a couple of eggs with some mushrooms and peppers and a dash of almond milk in the microwave for a minute or so is a quick tasy scrambled omlette

I've noticed it on my stomach - I also figure that some of thats due to my increase in exercise - I keep drinking the water and pappermint tea and hope it comes off!

I did this today for the first time, and yah know what.. it didnt kill me! So I am now going to try and get exercise in this way (as the evenings can be hit and miss as to when I get home). I have to get up at 5.00 a m to feed the damn stupid annoying jumping on my head as its light and therefore breakfast time cat…

hi, I'm 119 aiming to 112- would love to get some friends in the same range so will add people if thats ok

^THIS is brilliant^ I am slowly getting my head around EM2LW in addition to increasing my exercise... and this is really clear as to how and why it works.

I've started with 2 1kgs and am now at 3kgs. Frnakly I think its important to do the weights you can just about do and then increase when it feels too easy. It doesnt matter what anyone else does, the building up is the bigger issue and you'll soon get there (that's what i keep telling myself anyway!)

hi I have the same problem - but I cant snack, it makes me hungry all the time if I do. My plan is to eat more nuts, adding peanut butter to slices of apple, and having a soya milk shake when I get home before cooking dinner to try and increase it.
