Ditto! Simple, eh? Lets see

It would be really motivating (and reassuring) to me to hear from those of us who HAVE lost excess belly fat, even if it was the last fat to go! I am close to despair, here

NUTS! Raw mixed nuts, - I am totally without will power when it comes to nuts. I can, and have, eaten a large Tesco packet of mixed nuts in one sitting. I just don't buy them anymore, but I miss them

Corpusty, North Norfolk.

OK, thanks for the advice!

Thanks all of you for your thoughts. I have decided to continue using MapMyWalk syncing to MFP. I will only eat back half of the burned calories from now on, which should compensate for the inflated cal burn figures. Also, I think FatDoob's advice makes a lot of sense to me, I am losing weight (slowly) so will continue…

Well, today I DID go walking, 3.5 miles, and it was lovely. Map my Walk recorded that I walked at a 'moderate' pace, about which I was very happy, because it usually tells me I am walking at a 'leisurely' pace! I think I must be getting a little bit fitter. So thats what I did right today! I've still got most of the day…

Well said! I know exactly what you mean, Paul. Thats me, too ????

Freedom of choice.....yep, I think thats one of the most important gifts we have in our Western world. We are so lucky.

The thing I did right, or, actually, am doing right, today is not feeling guilty that I decided not to do my normal 3.5 mile walk. I woke up thinking I was going to do it, got suitably kitted out, went out the front door. And stopped. Suddenly I just didn't want to do this, not this morning. i have walked this walk each…

No, you are not pathetic! I often feel that way despite what the scale may be telling me. Of course, it sometimes works the reverse way too....ie, I feel fatter and bloated than I did yesterday even though the scale tells me I have stayed the same, or even lost. Its very much all in the mind at times. ????

seamoth, Congratulations on the weight loss. I find it more difficult to lose when I am not exercising. I know that you have to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound, but I think exercising regularly gives you more discipline to avoid the extra food calories. Chuck [/quote] Chuck, thanks! Its a long and uphill battle we are…

What I did right today. Well. I plucked up the courage to weigh myself and got a lovely shock. 2.5lbs loss in seven days! It must be all the walking because I've been over my 1200 cal goal nearly every day, though not TOO far over.

I decided not to weigh myself this morning! This was The Right Thing To Do. For me. I felt good when I woke up, had slept well for the first time for ages, the weather looked OK for another walk later on. I knew if I weighed myself and hadn't lost at least a pound since last weigh in, I would feel sad and start beating…

I'm Sue from Corpusty, North Norfolk. Have 35 lbs to lose, and determined, this time, to do it ????

I've been going for my early morning walk each day now for the last week. You'd think that because its the same route each time it would get boring. Not a bit. My walk takes me first past fields where horses (in their winter blankets) trot up to the hedges as I pass and allow me to tickle their noses. Then through a small…

3.28 miles walked out in the countryside today. Goal is to walk the same walk every day, weather permitting. If I can't get outside I will do Leslie's 4 Fast Miles walk at home. So hopefully, minimum I should have walked at the end of March will be 31 x 3.28 = 101.68 miles! ????

To all of you wonderful people who responded to my cry, for cry it was. I am overwhelmed by your caring advice. Believe me, its all been taken on board and I am in a better mental space now because of you. All of you. Thank you all so much.

Thank you!

Thanks for that........much appreciated.

Thanks for your encouragement :) just for accuracy, I have 34 lbs to go to goal, - even I would be hard pressed to gain that much in 9 days!

Will check it ou today...many thanks ????

Thank you so much!

Good news! So brie, really ripe and soft, would be rich in calcium! ?

Thanks for that tip! I'll give almond milk a try.

I went for a 4 mile walk, early in the morning, 7AM. It was very cold, my eyes were tearing, my gloved hands freezing and my nose was probably red. I live deep in the country side and the only person I passed was the milkman doing his rounds. I saw two robins chattering in a hedge, many crows pecking in the fields, heard…

Helen, thanks for that info. I never knew that about full cream milk having less calcium than skimmed milk. Interesting. I have heard, however, that skimmed milk is full of artificial white colouring, as without it, once the cream and natural fat has been taken out, it would look like thin bluish tinged water......thats…

and one bad day is not the end of things it is just a minor speed bump in life. Like that.! Will remember it! Thank you!
