July 27th Me: 26 Binge: 1 So happy. This is the best I've done in a long time.

Bump for some great advice + links :)

Having chewing gum or water near me always helps.

Tess of the D'Ubervilles by Thomas Hardy :smile:

I don't usually mix it in, I just put a spoonful of pb in the middle and it melts through. Tastes lovely :)

I don't really see them as helping me to lose weight. They're just a nice tasting, zero calorie alternative. As long as you don't drink them in excess I'm sure it's fine. You can find something 'bad' with most foods anyway.

I keep a 750ml bottle with me. Drink 3 of those and you're over the 8 cup recommendation :) (which is about 2 litres). You can also buy litre bottles and just keep them near you all day, it's kind of a reminder to drink more.

Boyish, maybe a little pear shaped. I wouldn't mind being more athletic.

Push ups! Also you can do bench presses with heavy water bottles instead of dumbbells.

Add more fats? For example, if you have yogurt, you can sprinkle on some seeds (20g will add about 120 calories) or use a tbsp of oil when cooking (about 100).

At first I was hoping this would be a low calorie pizza! Yeah I've tried it, although it was called something different. I liked it. If you like the taste, why not!

English about 90% of the time. A little less when I'm actually in France.

Wow, thank you. I needed this today.

Maybe try prelogging/planning your meals and spread them out through the day?

I just looked at your diary, and you seem to be lacking protein and fruit/veg. Like insomniaddict said, it's a good idea to fill up on fruits and vegetables since they're low calorie & high fibre, so can keep you satisfied. Also, protein is very good at controlling hunger. I eat a lot more protein rich foods now and I've…

I do this! I log my meals beforehand and add any extra's as I go, it helps to keep you on track like you said.

Bump- I don't agree with some points on here (eg. the idea of 'dirty' foods) but it's a good outline.

Why not try splitting, for example 600 calories and 600 calories after? That way you'd reach a minimum healthy amount of 1200, 300-600 really won't help you in the long run. Good luck!

You can be unhealthy at any weight. Both the extremes obviously carry their own risks, but I wouldn't say either one is 'healthier' than the other.

Great, thank you! I've been looking for new vegetable-based meals to try.

Also, vodka & diet coke, bacardi breezers and smirnoff light are relatively low calorie. Weight…

I am :) I've been using the stationary bike recently though because it just keeps on raining here. I love cycling! Definitely preferred over running.

Sweet potato fries :)

This is so awesome. Seriously, well done :smile:

Donald Glover or Tony Leung :smile:

Thank you, I'm thinking melted parmesan would taste lovely :)

YES. I'm in college at the moment, and since all my friends were also my ex-boyfriends, since breaking up I don't have any friends at all. I sound like such a loser, haha. I do suffer from terrible anxiety and have always been naturally shy, I just find it impossible to move from talking in classes to actually being…

The recommended is 20-30 minutes 3-5x a week, if that helps :smile:

This one made me laugh! Mine was being stood up. (boring, I haven't been on many)

Personally, I don't eat the yolk because it saves calories (two large egg whites for 30-40 compared to two whole for 140) and I'm not a fan of the yolk. The cholesterol in eggs isn't bad for you though, only in really large amounts.
