I've lost around 13lb in the last 8 weeks, and I've really noticed it. I didn't until about 8lb perhaps? I've had to go out and buy clothes at least one size smaller, if not two. I'm slightly taller than average, broad shouldered and hour glass shaped for a lady though, so the fat is sort of quite spread out - I don't have…

My fitbit is very accurate at how much walking I do, and noting periods of activity vs inactivity, as the article you link to concludes. It does not notice when I do weights, crunches, cleaning etc. So, if anything, the 2400 is probably a bit less than what I actually do - my colleagues at work (academic nutritionists who…

Many thanks to both of you - I've got just over 40lb I'd like to shift, and 1.5lb a week sounds a healthy target to me. I'm also glad people are saying starvation mode is bs - I've long suspected that, and I've just done some more reading and I'm glad that's been confirmed (in this context, anyway!).

I do loves my yoga, but I have to take it really easy, I can't stand the muscle pain that kicks in about 24 hours later if I over do it. I got me a bit of pilates equipment now too, so hopefully if I strengthen my core a little more, that might help! That's amazing work with fibromyalgia though, well done :). Very…

Haha! That sounds brilliant. I'd love to do classes, but at the moment, they are all far too long for my sleepy noggin. Hopefully by the end of the year I can manage one or two :) x

Thanks so much chaps - nice to know I'm not the only one! Every now and then I do a bit of wii fit or something and my energy will boost, but in the long run, it shatters me. It's shame, otherwise I'd work out heaps more. My insides are all healthy - no need for vitamins here, really. On days when i know I have tough…

I tend to make things like bolognase and chilli sauces in bulk so I can freeze portions and eat them on days when I am really busy / tired. I add tons of vegetables (frozen peppers, onions and mushrooms) and use soya / quorn mince. I can make about 8 portions for a couple of uk £. I find eating less meat a bit cheaper in…

Hi I'm new here :) I've been using MFP on and off for a while though. I find that I eat pretty much what I fancy, just less of it, and fill up on fresh veg and salad. You can eat a surprising amount of fresh fruit, veg and salad before you are anywhere near your daily limit. I'm lucky, as those are my favourite foods, it's…
