Mine doesn't even like me in clothes, he says they look better on the floor which is a serious problem for me as I hate my naked self! I don't get many compliments when I put on an outfit because he'd just rather I was naked.....no joke! Doesn't help me feel good when I'm wondering if I look ok in my outfit or not

Not sure anything could replace tortilla chips but I quite like the Special K crisp cracker thingies. I don't really like spicy things but they do a chilli version that would probably go quite well with salsa

Lentil Dahl freezes well and is high in protein but also carbs

Could you just make some healthier versions of things you usually eat? Like....lasagne made with quorn mince, tomatoes that you season yourself (instead of a jar full of preservatives and oil)? If you're trying to eat lower carb then cottage pie could be topped with half potato/half turnip mash or carrot and swede mash It…

I have to have pizza in my life! I go to pizza hut every month or two and devour a big salad bowl loaded with pasta and couscous potato salad etc as well as salad. After that I have up to half of a large stuffed crust and some garlic bread. Any left over pizza goes home with me to snack on later...or have for breakfast the…

I have 5 little ones - 9,7,6,3 and 18 months so I feel your pain! I also suffer with depression normally which got worse after a couple of the kids were born for a year or so (last born included). Its hard work being a mum but if you can find a little bit of time to do something for yourself, even if thats getting out for…

Congrats on reaching your goal! I also have this problem but mine is more mental I think. I've lost a couple more pounds than I planned to because I'm pretty scared about eating my way up to maintenance as I don't want to regain the weight. I think adding calories slowly over a few weeks, giving your body time to adjust to…

You could just keep eating as you are until you reach a plateau. I wish I'd never bought a scale as weighing myself has become addictive and the number on the scale doesn't really mean anything. Its not a true measure of how well my diets going. Clothes fitting better and gaining a bit of muscle is, for me.

<~~~~ Strong and rugged all day long

Don't know if anyone mentioned body temp because I didn't read all the posts but I've found that if I hop on the scale just after getting out of bed then I am lighter than I am a few minutes later after I've been for a wee. My bed keeps me nice and snuggly and a higher body temperature makes you weigh in lighter. Same…

Ahh ok, thanks. I can get Googling now :o)

I'm at a good weight now but really need to lower BF and firm up. I'm interested to know what this CLX is please?

Hmm must give these a go!

Fantastic! Keep up the great work!

Amazing! You are an inspiration!

Well the ladys still logging so maybe she got something out of it :o)

I love my ecigs. The day I got them I didn't smoke for the first 2 weeks but then I started sneaking real ones in again for some reason! I'm still trying to move over to vaping completely but I just don't seem to be motivated enough at the moment :( I'm hoping once I start working out again and start eating more to bulk,…

I second lifting weights. I can't really lose any more than another 5lbs now otherwise I will be on the opposite end of the unhealthy spectrum to which I started but I still don't have a flat tummy. I'm planning on doing a bit of a bulk to gain some more muscle to hopefully tighten and firm everything up. I've never…

Haha my 5 drive me absolutely potty but I can't imagine life without them. Actually, although they helped wrecked my body I honestly think they saved my life and gave me reason to live :o)

I agree that you need to find lower calorie snacks for those days when you just can't help yourself. To satisfy my sweet tooth I like things like low fat jelly, sometimes I add fruit to make it more filling, a pack of 6 low fat melba toasts with chocolate philidelphia (under 200cals), weight watchers chocolate eclairs…

I was always fat. Since I was a kid I've had health problems that limited my mobility and partly because of that I also developed depression and just drowned my sorrows with chocolate and booze once I hit my teens. I tried to lose weight in between babies with some success but I never managed to get below 150lbs before I…

My other half tells me I look anorexic and then says all I do is eat all day. Make your mind up lol.

Not really a naughty to snack but I love the Edamame bean salads from the chilled aisle in Tesco or Asda. They have broad beans and runner beans in them too and come with a soy, chilli and garlic dressing. I find them tasty, filling and healthy and the whole box is 189 cals, 11g carbs, 7g fat and 14 g protein. Days when…

The closer I got to goal the slower the weight loss became. For the first 30lbs is came off a bit every week but after that it came off every few weeks and often in chunks to make up for when I hadn't lost. I think its ok to over eat some days to keep our metabolisms guessing and personally I usually eat a few hundred cals…

Once its broken down it comes out through pee, poo, sweat and in carbon dioxide when we breathe

I remember onions really shocked me when I first started. Most recently I was shocked by the fresh dates I ate and then counted afterwards ooops

I try to eat well but sometimes I get the major munchies late at night so try to save some cals for then. Last night I wanted sweet stuff and I ate a small apple- very filling and helps you eat less after then as the night went on I tucked into a weight watchers chocolate eclair and 6 low fat melba toasts with a serving of…

Great job, looking healthy!

I accepted your add :o) I know how you feel, I have stretchmarks up to my ribs and also they go right down, down too(!) I hate them but I figure I'm just going to have to do the best I can to tone up and try to accept them :/ 30DS is a great way to get into exercising. When I started I found it really difficult too but by…

I think exercise along with a good diet will get most people there in the end. After my last baby (number 5 who was expected to be over 10lbs) my baggy stomach literally layed half way down my thighs when I sat down but now 10 months after starting to exercise it only spreads 3-4 inches. It still looks horrid as I have…
