Topomax is known for helping people to lose weight quickly... I was put on it awhile ago and my Dr told me this!

Im from Gloucester, UK.... if anyone wants to add me go ahead :smile:

I was regular on here too... but fell off just before Christmas... so I am back and I am trying to eating healthier and doing more exercise! Add me if you like :smile:

Welcome back, I have just came back on myself... if you want to add me and we can start encouraging each other to get to our goals! :smile:

Hi Vickie, I am from the UK too, if you want to add me you can do. I was very active on here but that stopped about 3 months ago, so I am back to get healthier :smile:

Hi Lisar, I have just come back on here to start being accountable for what I do, if you want to add me and we can start encouraging each other :smiley:

I would like some more active friends so add me if you would like :smile:

Hi, are you sure it's not telling you how many calories you have lost, so far in the day? Mine tells me how many steps, miles, stairs, my heart rate and calories I have lost during the day! I would never eat that little, maybe you need to workout how many calories you should eat daily and that will help you get your steps…

Thanks I am planning on a calorie deficit, and I may try doing both. It is only as I have read that just doing cardio doesn't work, so maybe if I do some cardio and strength training, this may help! Thanks for your replies!

One of the new things I have started to make is Salad in a Jar, they are lovely and a bit different to usual lunches. I found it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRemVme-3wU see what you think :D

I am having http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1167651/chicken-and-chorizo-jambalaya its lovely and only 445 calories!!

I will add you as I could do with some fresh ideas and views on here! I also have an open diary!

I am back on here and 100% committed too... I will add you!! I enjoy it when people put funny things on here! :)

I will have a look at that one thanks :D

Thanks for that and as I dont know which one gives me the headaches then the best thing I can do is go for ones without sweeteners! Do you or anybody else know of any nice ones that dont have any sweeteners in it?

Thanks catjrow3 I will have a look for them on facebook and see what they have to say!!

The problem I have is I love bad food far too much... I have been calorie counting for a while but I think that this dosnt seem to work as I still go for bad food and as long as its within the calories I am allowed then I will eat it... so even though I am in a deficit the food I have been eating are really not doing me…

I havnt bought into anything apart from the book... I am not doing this with the PT I am doing it on my own!! That is why I was asking if anyone has done it! From reading the book the diet itself does not seem a bad diet... it seems more like eating a lot healthier and cutting out a lot of processed foods etc. Have you…

I have my diary open..... You can add me if you like.... having new friends and support is important on here :)

I dont know why you are waking up hungry but listen to your body and start eating breakfast. Maybe its because you are working out more? I think breakfast is an important meal as you have not eaten for so many hours! I never used to eat breakfast but now I love getting up and eating a nice breakfast!!

Thanks for all your posts... I am wondering if there is somewhere that I can go to find out what my diet is lacking and what vitamins I should take?? Its all so confusing!!

I will add you.... As you say you can not do with enough motivation!! :smile:

I enjoy my porridge with blueberries and raspberries or banana!!!

I did that last August getting ready to be a bridesmaid at my brothers wedding!! Its amazing what you can do in a month (especially if you dont have any alcohol during that time too) :wink:

Hi I think we all need motivation on here... I will add you and hopefully we can motivate each other :)

Yesterday was my first fast day and I stuck to 500 calories exactly!! I didnt have any breakfast.. for lunch I had a big bowl of porridge with raspberries and blueberries, a small apple in the afternoon and for tea I had veggie chilli with cauliflower rice! I was amazed how good a day it was!

Thanks all... you have given me a lot of food for thought (sorry about the pun). Its mainly my protein that I seem to be lacking but from looking at some of your diaries it is showing me things I can try!! Many thanks

Thanks for the info deksgrl... and I have opened my diary for everyone to view! :)

I tried to have a look at our diary but it is not open. Its a struggle when you dont know that much about nutritional values but im hoping to work this out as I go along! Thanks

Hi I added you on MFP but I dont know why it wouldnt let me add you either on fitbit?? We may have to try again later! :)
