I focus on protein, veggies and fruit then fats. I add some concetrated forms of carbs or treats if I have room.

i'm a bit under 5'9. SW: 220 CW: 142 GW: 135

If I had made an omlette, I would add seperate entries for the amount of eggs used, then any fat used and any fillings as they could be so variable. Same for beef and everything really.

Is their a reason you can't reduce the amount of protein and/or carbs and increase the amount of fat you eat?

Of course if you dont starve or over eat you will be at a healthy weight. Not starving yoruself or overeating is the hard part, imo it is very hard not to overeat naturally what with the abundance of highly appealing foods available. I have seen therapists for EDs and none of them have brought set points up, I would be…

PMDD and binged to cope. i was 210 pounds at my highest. Lost weight after my PMDD was treated, now at 140 pounds.

It is normal to lose a lot more weight in the first week or so, the rate at which you are losing now (0.5kg a week)is good. You just need to be patient as you say.

sunny- D. i think they changed the recipe to be healthier though so that is why. i would likly love the origonal.

i used to spend about £10 a week on my food when i was a vegan and skint. pasta, beans, veg, fruit, oats and i just got more expensive stuff when it was reduced to like 10p at the end of the day. this was like 8 years ago before they had all the expensive alternatives availible at the supermarkets though, just dried soya…

SW: 205 CW: 144 GW: 130 Goal for this month is to get less than 140. 10/1 - 144.8 10/8 - 10/15 - 10/22 - 10/31 -

caffeine withdrawal. i had the same. i gave up caffine cold turkey about 4 weeks ago, i used to drink 4L pepsi max a day for about 10+ years, feel fab now. My headache was really bad for about 5 days then got better and was fine after about 9 or 10 days. I personally cant wean down, if I have a bit, I have to have loads,…

I just found out it is nearly a year old, well it is new to me so that will have to count.

chippy chips with battered sausage and gravy.

hoisin duck wrap with lettuce and cucumber. an assembly rather than a recipe but so good.

Breakfast: pork sausages and fruit Lunch: ham omelette and cucumber Snack: dairy milk caramel bar Dinner: chorizo tortelloni with 4 cheese sauce + stewed apple and custard

You would just have to wait and see, you cant estimate with any accuracy.

sultana bran. for taste. i just have it with full fat yogurt to meet my nutitional goals.

About 12,000. many times, usually I don't log as I cant remember what I ate but this is based on the few times I have logged from wrappers etc. BED sucks. I am making progress though. :)

i just ate about 20 of them vitamin gummies. should of had some actual sweets, least they would have tasted nice.

i sometimes estimate veg and fruit depends if I can weigh them or not at the time, herbs and spices, vits, low calorie drinks, occasional mints, low sugar jelly, random things that have negligible calorie contents etc. it doesn't seem to affect my weight loss, if I does I will tighten up my logging.

Are you always using a scale to weigh your food?

if you have only lost 6kg over 2 months I doubt you are really only eating 500 - 600 calories a day. how are you measuring your intake?

You are underestimating your portions then so your calories are off and you are eating a lot more calories than you estimate you are. Weighing your food is a bit of a hassle but your method of losing weight is not working so maybe it is worth the bit of extra effort.

I am going to a music festival at the end of may, am hoping to have lost about 10 pounds by then.

I love normal pepsi max, it smelled gingery but I could not taste any ginger, it just tasted a bit blah like a cheap cola. will stick to regular from now on.

Congrats. :)

this is max. he isn't on a LC diet as he is really is my parent's dog. he lots of liver and cheese though. when we used to feed him meds we squished them in peanut better or cream cheese. i hope the fat wasn't why they didn't work as he has behavioral issues and they were suppose to calm him down so we could train him…

What is your current exercise level/program? nothing except day to day walking What are the specifics of your challenge for the week/month? walking minimum 8,000 steps a day. adding some body weight and weights with my 6kg dumbbells in 2 times a week. What are your goals and expectations? to start building up my fitness…

sounds dodgy and not worth the risk to your body.
