Jeans look good

5.6 currently 12 stones want to lose stone

Have set alarm for 5.30pm daily. Gives me chance to eat. After that I don't eat until breakfast. Gives body a 12 hour fast

Join the club!! Try eating clean and drinking warm water. Keep chopped fruit and veggies if you fancy a snack have these first. Set a five min timer and tell yourself that if you still want the snack you'll have it when timer goes off. Good luck

Walked 45 mins today at 3 mph

Yum. Thanks

Ha well done. Poor doggy!

Count me in!! Stone to lose and want to walk everyday.

Same here but this is now post-Christmas so let's take hold and try and get back on track. At least we are not alone - it was worth it wasn't it?!?

Buy the ground up and put them on weetabix with crushed seeds/nuts. Great for veggie protein source

80!

have bookmarked it - great for wet days or winter

I am maintaining and started to put on weight when I ate all the cals that MFP told me to. I have now set the profile to lose half a pound a week and although I lost two more pounds, I have maintained at that weight. Maybe that is the weight that I should be at! Just make sure you log everything that you eat and keep…

better than chocolate but just as many calls, lots of sugar and it sticks to your teeth. You need to eat it in moderation maybe mix it with nuts. bear in mind that it will count as almost a meal if you eat too much of it so do not kid yourself that it is low cal

refuse to cut out pure food like seeds, nuts, veggies, fruits and butter (yes butter - it is much less processed than spreads and oils.)

Palmers cocoa butter good too. Buy the stuff that you put in the bath as well. Basically you cannot get rid but you need to keep the skin moisturised.

That is why it is sensible not to eat all of your exercise calories back. You should only eat as many as you feel you need to to stop yourself feeling too tired.

We bake at home. That way you can make smaller cookies but also you know they only contain good fats and real sugar rather than the cheap corn syrup. You cannot eat too many of them because for the same calories you get a better kick. Also because you made them you know how fattening too many can be and you stop yourself.…

Even if you are not hungry but you know that you are not eating enough - do not snack on rubbish. Go for something healthy and wholesome and home cooked. the flavours and aromas will stimulate the correct parts of your brain via your sensory receptors. You need to make your body want healthy food rather than just being…

add me

Shoes looser, size 12 trousers all loose, tops hang rather than cling, side profile flatter, when we went out today, I did not take a picnic instead we bought food - makes you eat a lot less! Avoided chocolate, ice cream, crisps, juice, sweets, bread, cakes and evening snack. I have had people who have not seen me since…

good wholesome home cooked food just does it for me in terms of tipping the scales.

That is the funniest thing I have heard all day and so true. I just could not find the word to describe it!

Why are you struggling to eat 1000? Have you tried little and often or adding the odd side dish to each meal e.g. a banana rather than an apple or an extra slice of bread? I would worry that if you can't eat 1000 cals you might find it hard to maintain a healthy balance.

You need to do what works for you, we are all different. Although 1200 cals a day is hard, sometimes it is a good place to be when you kickstart a plateau. I do think that at some stage you need to hit a more realistic cal level otherwise how are you going to get on with the rest of your life and eat healthily when you hit…

Hi Rose Take it a step at a time. Remember - one dress size at a time, 5 pound goals at a time and reward yourself without food when you get to each goal. E,g, when I lose 5 pounds, I am going to go on an hours walk with a friend that I have not seen for a while. When I get to the next size down, I am going to have a clear…

Fat free has been processed so much that there is very little goodness in it. No vitamin D or E - these are vital for your bones and skin. Do not cut out the healthy stuff as you will find that your skins, nails, teeth and bones will suffer as well as your hair sheen.

You could also find your favourite snack and weigh out enough to get to 100 cals and keep it in small containers ready for a needy moment! This also means that you do not feel deprived. E.g. if you like maltesers, count out how many get you to 100 and put them into a container rather than eating the whole bag. If you like…

Go for a walk every day, do your pelvic floor exercises and just do not eat any rubbish. Stick to eating lots of fruit veggies and non-processed food. You won't need to lose weight - just don't put any excess weight on. You will find that the healthier you are now, the easier the weight loss will be afterwards because you…

If I can get better you can too, only 6 cellulite spots left. I try and avoid bread if at all poss. 1 hr run once week
