I eat 5-6 different fruits for my breakfast every day. The vitamins in fruit support your immune system and and there is zero fat in most fruits. The only sugar you should avoid is refined sugar and 'added sugar'. Fruit is essential in a well balanced diet. Try to eat a little protein at lunch as well. It staves off hunger…

Totally agree. I used to take coffee with milk and 3 sugars. I ditched the milk and sugar years ago and would never go back to it. I can't drink milk in coffee any more and I can taste the sugar if someone uses a spoon that has been used to stir coffee with sugar and then uses the same spoon to stir mine. I also drink…

Well !.....How nice it is to see that I am not the only one in Norfolk. Thanks for taking the time to reply to this post everyone. I am so pleased to see you all. How are you all getting on with this site? Any hints and tips to keep motivated?? I seem to log on in fits and starts. I broke my toe a month ago and the…

Cant believe that threr isnt anybody in Norfolk UK in this community. Seriously disappointed!

I am beginning to think that it may be my body shape. I have lost inches from my thighs and hips and .....ahem...boobs...but my stomach is holding on to the inches. I suppose some of it will have to go eventually. I hope to loose at least another 7 kg.. Fingers crossed.

Thank you for your reply. I will try this and see how it goes.

Bump

Dr Mosley says that you can eat your 500 calories any way you want to. I split mine between breakfast and dinner - no lunch. I know others who eat an apple for lunch because they cant wait till dinner. We have all lost weight with this diet. Have you read the book? He actually includes recipes to show how you can split…

It wont quote figures for losing anything more than 2lbs a week. Because its not healthy to lose more. 3kg a week is a crash diet and it can only harm you, not help.

Thanks for the tip. I think I will have to go and check them out myself.

I have started logging half of what the Kinnect says that I am burning. I found a really good website (wish I could find it again) that agrees with your heart monitor. I too would rather under estimate than over estimate calories burned. How are you getting on with Zumba Core? Is it harder than Zumba fitness Rush?

I think I either found Zumba on a list or I created it like you can create meals. (I think). I'm rubbish with computers so cant really remember, sorry..

Pressed the wrong button...Ooops!. Cathy, the same happened to me a couple of years ago. New area, no family or friends and a new job. I too put on loads of weight and lost all motivation to look after myself ( no need, not going out, no one to visit, no best friend to motivate me, husband loves me any size) I too work…

I am 52 and still enjoying life to the full. I am trying the 'Fast Diet'. I fast 2 non consecutive days per week where I only have 500 calories and then I am allowed to eat pretty much anything I want for the other 5 days. I am trying to stay under 1400 on these days. I only started this diet on 14th Jan 13 and I have…

Have you read Dr Michael Moselys book titled the Fast Diet?....Lots or research on intermittent fasting that actually benefits the body.

LOL.....best laugh i've had all day. You must get some really rude people through your checkout. Either that or you have been doing this job tooooo long. Laughed my socks off about the farter. I have been stood behind one of those before. Its disgusting. The worst one was a lovely little old lady in a wheelchair. She…

Yes. I get up at 6am and do an hour zumba class at home with the X Box Kinnect. Then I go to work feeling much better. Keep it up......you know it will be worth it in the end.x:flowerforyou:

You look just fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. Lost for any other words. What a brilliant job you have done. You have probably extended you life by 20 years. Congratulations.x

Yay for Norfolk UK. Please add me because I am new to this and dont have a clue how to add friends. Any advice??

I too am sick of the plateau. Read my blogg (Fastdiet 2:5) and see what you think. It might be the answer to all our dreams.

You can add me too. I love the fact that you can track your food and exercise. Its like weightwatchers online......but FREE. I am also new to this site so I would love a few friends to help keep me motivated. I will try to motivate you too. I need to lose 4 kg before June 20th for my holiday so I need all the help I can…

Well said!
