Ive recently changed my marcos, reducing my carbs and increasing my protein, Ive found this has really helped, also drinking loads and loads of water. Good luck.

As long as youre BF is supportive at home thats all that matters, my OH is great, before I met him he lost 8 stone in weight so he understands what its like, he is very supportive and encouraging. I'll send you a friend request.

I cant alway remember how many cups of tea I've had, I'm trying to restrict myself to just 2 cups a day so I drink more water.

I like to keep my carbs as low as possible, I try and cut out bread and pasta, Im greatly reducing the amount of potatoes I eat, but I wont cut out my fruit and veg. Ive noticed my tummy feels far less bloated and looking flatter. Anyone feel free to add me.

I've been trying to find a BC pill to suit me for 16 months now, I'm on the 4th brand now, all of them listed weight gain as a side effect, but with healthy eating and increase exercise I've lost 23lbs since January. You will get there eventually, Im going to stick with the one I'm on now as it seems to work well for me,…

That's a great NSV, well done, you should be proud of yourself.

I've sent you a friend request, you can never have too many friends.

I have trouble understanding TDEE, I find the only way I loose weight is to reduce my carbs and increase my protein. I have my daily calories set to what MFP decided for me so I loss a lb a week, I use a HRM when exercising so I know my calories burnt is fairly accurate and I eat back most of my burnt calories. Good luck…

They are great NSV well done, keep going, here's to many more NSV.

I've always said I want my belly button pierced, with only 6lbs to go I'm getting scared!! I also treated myself to a couple of bikinis to wear on our winter sun holiday, I've not worn a bikini in over 20 yrs!!

I've suffered with IBS and colitis in the past, I have them under control now. I take a probiotic everyday, it has to be a high strength one. I also find if I have bread based products, sweet corn or corn based products more than once or twice a week I suffer. Peppermint tea is really good for calming your tummy, I would…

You've had some great advice here, I say you've got a great incentive (your friends wedding) and you've got a realistic length of time to do in. If you're prepared to put the time and effort into it you'll reach your goal and look fantastic. Good luck.

I'd be intersted to see what replys you get from this, as I am too trying to increase my protein. Im trying to eat plenty of chicken and salmon and having dried fruit and nuts for snacks. Im trying to cut back on bread, pasta and potatoes, but finding it hard to find substitue foods. Good luck.

Hi, Ive sent you a friend request. I'm from Essex, anyone else feel free to add me.

Thank you, I'm in the UK, I've just found I can get it frm my local Holland and Barrett health food shop.

Where's the best place to buy coconut oil? I have to have some after reading through this. I've not tried it before.

I've to heard of carb cycling so I'll be interested to see what others have to say about it. I do try and keep under on carbs and higher on protein.

I found it too easy not to exercise at home, I've recently joined a gym, I have to book classes in advance and if I want to back out I have to phone up and cancel, it really does make me go. Is there a crèche or kids club at the gym your daughter could go to? Could you exercise with our daughter, go out for a walk or bike…

After eating my breakie I'm usually over on sugar, I too eat a lot of fruit, but like others have said, I wouldn't worry about it. It would be different if it was chocolate, biscuits and cake taking you over. Good luck.

I've sent you a friend request, you can't have too many friends on here to give and receive comments and support, anyone else feel free to add me. Sorry I haven't got a fit bit, I got a Polar HRM instead, but I might have to treat myself to one they look good.

Thank you. By muffin top I mean the extra roll of flesh above my belly button, it's there even when I'm naked so it's not just the clothes I'm wearing. I'm really looking forward to trying out the Pilates class, Ive just got to wait for the kids to go back to school and I get back into my normal routine, Monday 9th sept…

I'd be interested to see what others say, I seem to be maintaining at the moment, things should change once the children go back to school in a couple of weeks and I can fit in a bit more exercise, I'm just happy to be maintaining and not gaining. The only thing I can add is to drink plenty of water, that seems to help for…

I've been using this site since January, I never thought I would stick to it and loose weight, but I've amazed myself, I haven't been the size I am now for over 20 years. I've only got about 6lbs to go to reach my goal weight, I feel I eat a nice healthy balanced diet now, I don't crave take away food anymore I would…

Its always good to have an incentive, so being a bridesmaid in November should help keep you going. I like to have what I want, so as long as it fits in my daily calorie allowance I have it. Drinking loads and loads and loads of water really helps, I need to drink more, somedays I can do it some days I just cant. Get…

Im always over on my sugar, its due to the fruit I eat so Im not worried about it, Im not going to stop eating my fruit.
