Hello! Congrats on your pregnancy - I'm 17 weeks pregnant now, and I'm also keen on keeping an eye on my weight (I'm already overweight, so don't want to gain much more!). I'll be friendly with you!

Hi Diane! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I'm 16 weeks along and this is my third. I'm also trying to keep an eye on the scales as I'm already overweight, so I'm trying to eat conciously and not give in to huge quantities of carbs (up until now, I've been off most food apart from cereals/ white bread etc!). Good luck!…

I'm 16 weeks tmw and have picked up a kg, but I am already overweight so want want to use MFP to track things (have only recently started wanting to eat again,but then it's mostly carbs! )

Thanks so much guys!

Thanks CD - I've used this app which has been recommended on MFP to get a better idea of my calories (I realise MFP is quite generous with how many calories are burned) and then just edit my exercise logging to reflect the other app. I suppose I could continue not logging them but then not have a wobbly if I'm over my…

Haha I Love this! Hun, feel proud, because you're already on your way - small changes done consistently have huge results! Keep going! xxx

Oh also, would you then classify me as sedentary (I have a desk job but move around quite a bit), or lightly active?

That is so phenomenal! Congratulations! Also loved your style of writing! Where can I find your blog?

Brilliant! LOL!! This is possibly the best way to describe it!!

I have the Nova T (non-hormone copper IUD) I'm really happy with it - I used to be on BCP, but when I went off to try and fall pregnant, my cycles were really wonky. After having my children, I wanted to stay off the hormones so that I could keep track of my body. I also don't have to remember to take a BCP every day, and…

Oh! This killed me LOL!!!

Guys thank you so much for your answers - I really appreciate it - sometimes the answers get so complicated and you made it really simple to understand. Will invest in the digital scale - I have one of the old school things with the needle and I've realised that it's quite unreliable (it gives a good guide, but that needle…

Have you thought about joining Slimming World (I am not sure if GP's can refer you on to a group?) - I swear, it's the one eating plan that's made sense to me, and I know people have really good results with it. That way you can get support of a group, but still have control and it's not so "medical"?

Hello hun! Firstly well done for keeping on with it - honestly I can so relate to how you must feel - I have only really been trying for a month and I am already frustrated! LOL When it comes to PCOS, the best way of eating is Low GI foods - PCOS is affected by insulin resistance, so just try to go for Lower GI foods…

I know this is a different question and should probably be in a different post, but has anyone's cycle gone wonky when they first started working out "religiously"? Mine has gone MIA and it's making me really miff!!

I like the idea of 20% for treats

Well done!! That is awesome! I know exactly what you're feeling - I've been trying to eat better for the last four weeks, and exercising every day. My problem is that I have never been one for exercise, so I am scared I'm going to fall off the wagon. The only thing I can say is that I take each day as it comes, and I don't…

Honestly, I get so confused over this milk/ cream issue - paleo (or is it primal?) and atkins/ low carb say cream, then everyone else says fat free milk and it just gets overwhelming!

Hello! What about asking for small individual portions of dark chocolate instead? So rather than a whole slab/ bag, he just brings you a small portion - that way you get good chocolate, and he feels happy because he can treat you? You'll feel happy because it's a small portion, so you won't feel guilty and it's easier to…

Hahaahaaaa! I love all the GIFs going on here! :) I am so glad someone has helped to reassure me - this whole calorie counting thing drives me completely nuts. I've been working my butt off for three weeks and trying to eat as clean as possible and the scale hasn't even budged (yes, I know the whole "gaining muscle" story,…

I love this idea of what you're doing with a month on each level - I am on day 3 today, and it's getting easier, but I'm a bit scared that I won't be "ready" for level two in 6/7 days time! I actually like her! I'd been doing Josie Gibsons 30 Second Slim and didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoy this one!

Whoa, Ted! You look amazing! and you have a really gorgeous smile! Well done, you are truly inspirational!

That is phenomenal! Please can you tell me how you managed to get your tummy and skin so toned? I am really anxious about having excess skin once all my weight has shifted?

You look amazing! Well done!

Brilliant! You look amazing! (and you have a great jaw line by the way!) You are so disciplined, it's really inspirational :)

Oh Wow! You look phenomenal! This is so inspirational for me, thank you so much for posting this! How did you manage to tone your skin (I've got about 55lbs to loose and I am worried about how my tummy will look when all the fat's gone!)?! Well done, and thanks for being generous with the pics - it's great to compare all…

Me! Can I do it too please? :-)
