Thanks for all your replies... I've recently started just having 3 meals no snacking in between & it does seem to be going to plan.. I still kinda tot up the calories in my head but like a few of you have said after using this site a while you kinda know the calories in things & we all now what we should & shouldn't eat..…

personally i always allow myself xmas eve, xmas day and boxing day to eat what i want then that gives me 5 days to debloat before wearing my LBD on NYE!!! it is xmas afterall ... eat, drink & be merry!!!!! :laugh: :drinker:

I had the ultra... Got rid as thought it was a fad then I actually missed it lol so bought the zip but I now have the one on pre order too!!... Love how it syncs via Bluetooth to my phone so all the data is in live time!!!

strange!!.. I have a MacBook Air & no problems what so ever!!!

You'll find their customer service is excellent & will probably replace it... I believe the ultra is known for cracking etc so the new version the fitbit one is due out in a couple of weeks & sits in a silicone case to stop the cracking also syncs via Bluetooth to your iphone 4/5

Hi have been logging for about 150 days now I think.. I do also have the odd treat & sometimes the odd blip... The only time I don't log is on holidays or nights out (but only have one of them a month) I'm by no means perfect & dont choose healthy stuff all the time but I do a good job 80% of the time!!.. But when I'm bad…

Yep I'm a WW drop out too!!... Was only allocated 25 pp a day & I was always hungry so cheated regularly!!! .. Had this app on my iphone for ages but didn't think to use it then I saw it mentioned on a WW forum.. Was scary at first eating whatever I wanted lol but I was soon seeing results!!... I'm now down 13lbs less than…

i live in Kippax too!!!! ;)

I'm the same at weekends.. If I'm not working then ill usually set my goal to maintenance & with some added exercise calories you'll have plenty to play with. If I'm out with friends though I don't bother logging as I wanna enjoy myself & not let this control my life!!.. 1 day off won't hurt

Hi I'm from Leeds .. I don't run though, I get my exercise at the gym & Zumba... Will send you a request

I've just ordered a zip.. Had the ultra but got rid after all the bugs with syncing.. However I kinda missed it so I came across the zip & thought I'd get that instead of the new fitbit one as it doesn't needing charging up!!.. That really swung it for me.. When I go away I don't bring my laptop so fitbit would die after a…

I'm on holiday right now & due home tomorrow think I've gained about 7lbs but most will be water weight... I plan on doing lots of exercise plenty of water & lots of protein to keep me full as I know it'll be a shock to the system once I start afresh Sunday

i had last fri sat and sun off weighed mon and was 7lbs heavier but i didnt mind as i knew it was all water weight and general bloating.. im already about 4lbs of that down today and its only tues

calories always add up to more as on ww you dont count fruit and veg for example in points i was also confused by this when i was tracking both but after a couple of weeks i could see this site was more realistic in the long term as food in real life doesnt come with a points value but everything comes with a calorie value…

Hi I'm 30 & 5"7 also.. SW 187 CW 154 GW 150 At the mo im at the higher end of a healthy weight for my height according to the BMI chart... I exercise frequently at the gym & also do Zumba... Really need to tone my tum up though just don't know where to start for that lol... Any tips greatly appreciated.. Feel free to add…

That was nice to read.. & well done..

I'm 5"5 & my goal weight is 150lbs.. I'm now 154 so not that far off.. I wear a uk 12 now at this weight & I'm quite big boned so being any less may not actually suit me.. I don't want to appear gaunt in the face & all bones as that's not a good look.. Everyone thinks I should maintain this weight now as I look just…

i started off on 1200 and found i was only hungry if i didnt use those calories wisely!! it all depends on you personally, what works for one may not work for another.. me personally if i eat more than about 1400 a day regardless of exercise i find it hard to lose and im 154lbs and 5"6.. play around and see what works for…

one thing I've learned from here is if your hungry eat!!.. Your body obviously needs more fuel.. I used to always go to bed hungry on 1100-1200 calories a day & I'm losing more weight now im eating more!!

On weds I had an enexpected night out then to a Chinese buffet!!.. I consumed about 3200 over my daily allowance however when I finished logging today I was still under my weekly allowance by 638 calories so the way I see it is if you have a day like that don't worry aslong as your still under your weekly goal it should be…

I love mine however havnt been able to use it the past 2 days as its gone dodgy by over estimating calorie burn!.. Mine went up today by 500 calories in like 2 minutes!!.. It would appear that alot of people are having this problem so hopefully it'll be resolved soon but it is a good device to see what your burn is on lazy…

You burn calories just by sat down & breathing!!... Hence why by midday you were at whatever number of calories you were at!!.. It's not faulty & is very good on estimating calories burned

It depends on the type of wine some have about 500 & others 600 the ones I had yesterday were 585 a bottle.. I barcode them & it came with exact match so I think the calories were right..

yeah I've read up on the whole zig zag thing & from what it says it is an accepted method & does work. I suppose it's good to keep your body guessing & thus your metabolism going as opposed to your body getting used to a certain number every day.. I don't splurge that much usually & as I've said I'm gonna change my drink…

thanks very helpful I'm gonna try this

well said!!... & I'm also gonna change my drink to a lower calorie version... Thanks for your advice ;)

It drinking wine which takes me over... An an all dayer with my friends 2 bottles of wine is like 1200 calories then throw in a few fruit ciders & your looking at another 700 then a decent meal to soak it all up lol... When I go out with friends I hate sitting there counting calories & I refuse to worry about it when I am…

Thanks!.. & I agree with your theory too actually.. I usually have 1 day off a week where I don't log & eat & drink plenty of calories but the week after I've still lost weight so it must work for some people!!

my cheat day is easily in excess of 4000 calories as id have 2 bottles of wine which is about 1000 calories then easily 3000 if not more on food its amazing how much more you eat and drink when in a big group of people.. hasnt done me any harm though still lose every week
