I know, it's a depressing thought that I have been starving it and wrecking it for such a long time. Poor body. I'm trying to make it up to it now by finally looking after it and feeding it..

Ive just been lurking around the EM2WL (eat more to weigh less) website, and having spent (on/off) the last 5 or so years counting calories, usually around 1200-1400 max and not seeing a single result, I have decided to take the plunge. I figure that I have wrecked my metabolism, so I need my body to be comfotable with…

Surely if you hadnt eaten them they wouldnt have bought more? Just dont eat them...it's not that hard!

Have you tried softening the apple in the microwave, then adding the peanut butter and chocolate? Amaaaazing.

I read the OP and then skipped through the 3 pages of boring comments of arguments because this was just what I needed to hear! I'm similar height/weight/age to you and have been eating 1350 for a while but it is depressing and the scale isnt moving, so I've taken the plunge and upped to 1600 (which is my TDEE-20%) in the…

Thanks so much Phrick and WBB55! And everyone else...I will up my calories but it's going to be hard to see my weight go up for a while before I start losing again! I guess I will just have to trust the formula.. :happy:

Today I brought.. skinny cinnamon popcorn apple cucumber sticks and hummus I have to snack or I go mad..

If i put in to the TDEE calculator that I exercise 3 times per week and it gives me a goal of 1600 (after taking the 20% off the 2000 it gave me as my TDEE), then I just eat 1600, right? So I wouldnt then eat above that if I exercised because that has already been accounted for...is that what you mean? Hope that is right…

Thank you everyone!! That is great advice, I will check out the links :)

Bump :(

Frozen yoghurt...last night I had a huge bowl of chocolate frozen yoghurt and it really satisfied me whilst still fitting in my calorie allowance! It tasted so good :) ahhh

Hi! I'm 19 too, 5ft 6 and weigh 11st 2. Im looking to lose about 15 pounds to get me down to around 10st/140lb. I managed to get there about 18 months ago - if i remember it took me around 6 months (but I'm one of those people that can be very good for a certain period of time and then fall off the wagon for…

I chose 10lbs because the wedding I am going to is 9 weeks away, and instead of hoping to lose all the 15lbs by then i though a pound a week loss was more realistic..I do want to look more toned as well, I have such a jelly belly! I will speak to my trainer..thank you :)

Thank you so much everybody! I have always been 'obsessed' by the scale, which i know is super unhealthy but i do find it difficult not to be put off when the numbers don't budge! I will keep going as I am, and maybe try upping my strength training. Thanks :)

Mine was soooo good. Banana Peanut butter 70% cocoa powder skim milk ice cubes. YUM!
