Porridge for me. I must admit I do use the instant ones (original only, not flavoured), just because it's quickest. My morning usually involves dashing around at the last minute getting food ready then having breakfast at work. It didn't fill me up a great deal, but since I started adding some mixed seeds, it lasts a lot…

Eye of the tiger!

Hi, I'm a size 22 and also at 1700 calorie intake, just started a couple of weeks ago :) Apologies, this has ended up quite long! I think the first week was the most difficult with cravings, stopping myself from buying chocolate from the vending machine. I keep a bar of green & blacks in the fridge and have 1 piece (or 2…

Thanks for the tips. I thoroughly agree with all of them (even if I don't stick to them!), I've given up walking on my own at the moment, my dodgy back means I can't go fast, and if I can't walk fast with my dance music then it's just no fun! I do also arrange to meet friends in the daytime at the weekend when we can do an…

I guess it depends where in the world you are, I prefer the 'c' version cuz otherwise it says "tit" in the middle, which makes me giggle, but I am puerile. Aaaanyway, from my experience (I work in student enquiries at a university) I would suggest looking at the careers pages of health services. I don't know where you are…

Haha! Brilliant. I'll remember that bonus when i go to our local indian buffet for my splurge weekend!

As has been said, the calorie intake guidelines on MyFitnessPal take into account the calories burned through eating. So just log what you're eating and don't bother about all the "negative calorie" nonsense. I used to do low carb, but have seen lots of info. for people who have trouble sleeping being recommended to eat…

I tend to have wine, but then continue with bloody marys if I'm getting a "wine head". I like to think that the tomato juice is the healthiest option! Plus it really does help with lowering the level of hangover acquired.

I've got 100 to lose, probably a little more but I wanted to give myself something that I currently believe is achievable. I have a bad back so walking too far/fast can cause me trouble. It's a constant guessing game! I do swim, though very slowly! I can't do the breaststroke because I sink! Never been able to get the hang…

The above post is brilliant. I can only suggest taking lots of healthy stuff with you to snack on. I just started two weeks ago but gradually the constant hunger is going away! Strawberries are my fave at the moment - delicious and very low calorie! Tides me over for a while.
