Ok thanks - when I am at uni I go to the gym so know roughly how many calories I've used.. however at home I work with/ride horses, so have absoloutley not idea how many I'm using! Should I be eating a bit more on top of my 1200 cals to accomodate this?

I'm 5ft and 127lbs. This time last year i was 102lbs :S I think I'm going to try cutting out carbs - or at least pasta/potatoes etc.!

Thanks for there replies! I only drink skimmed milk already but think I need to drink less. WIll definatly cut down on carbs - does this include potatoes? Should I perhaps try more meals with protein such as chicken/fish, with veggies opposed to potato/rice? I do tend to eat sweet potato mash rather than normal potatoes,…

Anyone else finding they are not loosing weight whilst sticking to/just below your allowed calories? I am honestly sticking to mine and exercising but am not dropping pounds!

3lbs in a week :)

I at one point lived on probably less than 500 cals a day at one point, whilst working (hard) outdoors from 7am not getting home til 8pm, then had spouts of eating TONS (probably way way over 2000 cals!) and my weight never really changed. Now I have stopped that level of exercise but am still eating under 1000 cals…

I just peel them, cut into chunks and boil for about 10-15mins til you can easily slip a knife through, then add a tiny dash of milk and mash - voila! Best way, less calories than normal mash and you don't need to add anything else (ie milk) for it to taste good unlike normal mash :)

Soup! Or... dont know where you are but I buy the under a £1 value ready meals from supermarkets (ie. Sainsburys/tesco/morrisons), they do all sorts like pasta, lasagne, shepherds/cottage pies etc. and they are generally under or just over 200 calories!!

Pasta, literally any pasta but mainly macaroni!! Major cheese fetish!

Yes! I have recently put on nearly 2stone, my BMI now 25.5 which is only just out of the 'healthy' category, however I have always been around 20 bmi previously so want to get back to that!

I think its more to do with not eating too close to sleeping opposed to the actual time of day. Your body doesn't know what the actual time is! I try not to eat after 8pm otherwise I wake up starving!!

I never log drinks!!

Had 1/2 tin of Heinz tomato soup, so a light 113 calories!!
