  • Iv heard good things about Salters and Weight Watchers Scales? Any particular model any of you have which are reliable in your opinion?
  • No I am not still saying it, I said 'my initial thoughts were that it caused muscle building' Sorry for causing 'depression' but I am just out to get advice and knowledge to decide whether this is right for me. Just because it works for one person doesn't mean it will be the way someone else likes to do it... I am new to…
  • Sorry if some of you find this post silly but I literally have no knowledge of weight lifting, my initial thoughts were that heavy weights resulted in fat turning to muscle. If you are going to be negative please don't bother replying, I am just looking for advice from people who want to help out. Thanks everyone for your…
  • thanks everyone, I am getting a lot of mixed opinions, I think I will start protein shakes on days that I go to the gym/don't have time for cereal for breakfast as a high protein start to the day to keep me going until lunch time... I am just struggling with cereal every day for breakfast which hasn't got a lot of protein…
  • I was doing keto/low carb for 2 months and lost a lot of weight, but started craving carbs... so I stopped, now that I am eating all bran cereals and fruit a lot more I feel better but I am struggling to keep my protein up and tend to be hungry more so that I was when eating less calories on keto? I want to loose fat but…
  • Definitely jealousy, don't let people put you off your goals, as long as you are happy and healthy and feel good that's all that matters. Some people want to be the 'best looking' friend in the group and she obviously feels threatened by your hard work :smile: Keep it up! x
  • I keep mine open, I have logged most days for 50+ days i think... I love seeing results of my day :) Feel free to take a look and give tips/advice because I am fairly new to dieting.
  • Lol all the more fun it is being a member of MFP! :happy: So many different people with different experiences. And i haven't played pin the tail on the donkey for like 10 years, would probs be a tad dangerous drunk LOL :laugh:
  • I lost 12lb in 2 months doing low carb on 1200 per day, was never hungry and could eat loads because it was all low calorie foods. But my weight loss slowed down gradually and people were saying its because my body is in starvation mode because I am not eating enough? the past few days not doing low carb any more I have…
  • I weight myself when I wake up, which could be anytime between 5am-12 noon depending on if i have work or not.... Is this a bad time?
  • Is this serious? :ohwell: I have heard of the baby food diet, sounds more tasty than dog food tbh... Or just eat healthy normal food?
  • I am aiming to loose 4lb by new year... I will be a happy bunny if I loose any more!! :D
  • Wow well done!! Results are amazing!! What were you lifting at the beginning and at the end? I deffo need to get rid of my skinny fat... Im only 115lb but still got a lot of fat on top of muscles I want to get rid of, any advice? Chloe x

  • I am 5'2 and weight 116lb (ish) I intend to reach 112lb, maybe less and then build up muscle mass to regain weight? Any advice on how to loose water weight? Cranberry juice or green tea maybe? I have seen some water retention tablets at tesco t help reduce water being held?
  • I am having the same problem, I started low carb 2 months ago and lost 10-11lb in the first month, since then no movement... Its also hard to stick to... So I have decided to make a change up and eat balanced healthy diet with alot of fruit and fibre which I wasnt getting on low carb. hopefully this will kick start my…
  • I am 5'2. I am going to stop low carb till after xmas, change my macro's and eat healthy balanced diet with calorie limit of 1300 per day with exercise... because realistically I am not going to be able to do low carb over Christmas and seeing the red numbers everyday will depress me! Hopefully when I start up on low carb…
  • Thanks, I was loosing 2lb a week to start with... Now its just stopped! I think I have lost 1lb in 3-4 weeks lol... I am eating 1000-1300 per day, I don't intentionally have low calorie days when I only have 1000 its just coz I work 12 hr shifts... X
  • No I eat a lot of veggies just on days when I finish a 12 hour shift i cant be bothered to cook so I just do omelette or something quick, I eat alot of salad and nuts too... Im concerned about my carbs being so low, Its not intentional even thou I am doing low carb, they just happen to be lower than I expect lol
  • So if i eat something relatively high in carbs such as cereal, but make sure its fibre, then thats better than having lower carbs daily? So include some muesli and fruit maybe???
  • I have no symptoms of anything, I feel fine :S I just cant find a right balance for dieting, its one extreme to another!
  • Can you take a look at my dairy and see what you think of my daily fat intake, its worrying me... im on low carb so high fat is meant to be good... But surely higher carb and lower fat is better? as a balance.... Im unsure what is best?
  • I don't eat breakfast either, I am never up in time, I would much prefer an extra 20 mins in bed to be honest! It shouldn't make much difference all though they do say breakfast speeds up metabolism?
  • For me the only thing that has worked so far is low carb! Its great results! :)
  • I am doing a similar diet, I have cut my carbs and upped my protein, and I am avoiding sugar by using sweeteners instead and not eating sugary fruit etc... However i didn't experience any negative effects such as shaking. I took to it quite well, I struggled to keep my calories up at a good amount for a while thou as all…
  • I am doing a low carb diet and it is working for me, before I started all I ate was carbs... my diet consisted of pasta, baked potatoes and I kept gaining weight. Now I have cut down to less than 40g a day and I have lost 9lb in 4 weeks, mostly off my belly as it is a lot flatter now! :D
