  • The best thing for me was telling myself to earn my treats BEFORE eating them, rather than telling myself I'd burn them after which never happens!

  • I go on holiday on the 14th June and want to lose 5 pounds by then !!! It's exactly a month so my final month I'm upping the ante and need all the motivation I can get (bar the fact I'm going away with the most toned person you've ever seen hahaha)

  • BUMP I'd like advice on this too.. From experience I do find if I have a protein shake before work it's much easier to wait for 11 for my 'elevenses' than if I have bran flakes or porridge if that helps!

  • Love this thread, I usually just use it as a jacket potatoe filler, in a salad or as a dip for celery, carrots, red pepper and apples ... but I'm going to have to try some of these other ideas some sound amazing !!

  • I'm so bad for this, getting into bed and feeling a little hungry so I can't sleep so grabbing a bag of crisps ! I'm going to set my cut off time at 9pm, or 1/2 hr after exercising .. I sometimes have exercise classes which go on till 9.30 so I will allow myself to eat something healthy within half an hour of the class if…

  • Here's the pattern: SW 159 (before joining MFP when I hit a plateua) CW 150 GW 145 UTG:138 Not sure how accurate that CW is as I weigh in Mondays and had a bad weekend - will update when I weigh myself before circuit later !! Going on Holiday 5/9/12 so if I can do this I could be very close to my UGW by then !

  • OK here goes ... I'm a bit late since it's already the 7th, I would be chuffed with 2 pounds to be honest as it's been a shaky start to the month (music festival = hotdogs and beers!) but I'll aim for 3 to be ambitious! SW: 164 (a while ago - im actually new to this so:) CW: 150 (or I was on Monday, thats when I weigh!)…
