Welcome back, I'm second timing too after a stressful few months, although nothing compared to how yours has been mind. Wishing you all the best for 2014!

I think you'll find Weightwatchers is the similar but with points instead of calories! My understanding of the 1200 calories is that it gives you a boost which helps you stick with it long term. It sounds like it doesn't suit you to go so low in a diet, it may be worth checking it out with your doctor just to be on the…

Hi, I've started back on Rosemary Conley this week and on 1200 calories now, I've never had a problem with it (5' 1", 10st 8), I feel a bit hungry but definitely not ill as you describe. You've done the right thing, upping the calories. Do you go to classes? I would speak to the franchisee about it, that's what they are…

Perhaps they went wrong by leaving mfp?!! This is still my first go, I think keeping a diary is the main thing that keeps me on track so when I reach my goal I intend to carry on with it to maintain. It's become a part of my daily routine, to the amusement of my family but hey, it's working for me! I'll also be interested…

You could give pilates a try, it works on the core muscles and I've always found that works better (and is kinder than crunches etc).

I take: Multivitamin/mineral; Garlic; Probiotic; Omega 3-6-9 oil capsule; Glucosamine; B complex (I would have thought there was enough in the multi vit but I really feel the difference when I take/stop taking it); Chromium (trying it again for PCOS). My partner and my dad have had a nasty cold recently that lasted a…

I used to eat loads of fruit through the day, because with slimming world you can, but now I limit it to 2-3 servings a day, and much smaller portions than before. I doubt it's the only reason for my weight loss but it has helped!

I wish my parents had educated me in nutrition when I was a child. I wouldn't say I was fed rubbish food but from what I remember there was a fair bit of processed meals.. sausages, fish fingers that sort of thing but with veg. I used to go out to play all the time, computers weren't really around then! Sweets were a rare…

I've got two pairs of the Merrell bare foot trainers, my partner has a pair as well as a pair of the vibram fivefingers. I love them, so comfy and light and they've been washed a couple of times (in cold water with a bit of detergent) and they're still going strong!

Hi, It's been working for me, but I do also go to Rosemary Conley classes so I had to adjust it, that said I didn't have to adjust the daily goal by very much so I think MFP is fairly accurate. I couldn't be without this app, it makes keeping track so easy! Good luck! Ange x

I've found it gets easier over time. When I was first diagnosed nearly 5 years ago (using the term loosely because the Dr never really investigated it), I found it diificult to avoid those trigger foods and often craving them. Your body does adapt and get used to enjoying other things instead. Don't give yourself too hard…

Thanks for sharing about the programme, will have to watch that :happy:

Hi, I'm from Hertfordshire. I joined up on here about two weeks ago, I'm following the Rosemary Conley plan and it's my first weigh in tonight, eek! MFP has been great for keeping track. I lost just over a stone at Slimming World but plateaued after that so decided on a different approach, still have about another 2 stone…
