I think the point is you can loose weight by just dieting but there is only so much you can loose before you have to start incorporating exercise (as you gradually adjust to a certain calorie intake)/feel the need to tone up loose skin/flabby areas. To the people that are thinking of loosing weight without exercise, get of…

Train, train, and train. You wont get there without training regularly, do what you can and gradually do more everytime :)

if you are just sticking to a calorie deficit to loose weight then yes, if you are planning to get fit/go for runs/go for the gym, then it would be advisable to choose something with more of a nutritional value. So what I am saying is, the only thing it will effect is how your body is feeling rather than how much weight…

Agree with you that it is 50/50 as it is about health aswell as weight loss, However when people are talking about 70/30 it is in regards to loosing weight rather than bulking/training/fitness.

mine is 250 cal (2 weetabix with skimmed milk and honey) I usually then have an am snack of fruit :) 700 is alooot for breakfast is you are trying to loose not bulk. have nuts but in moderation

The benefit of this is that the the egg yolk holds the most calories so the egg white is very low cal

Completely Agree, if you are looking to stick within a certain calorie intake then drinking skimmed instead of full fat will make it a lot easier, especially if you drink it regularly (i.e cereal, coffee, tea)

If its any use, the best thing i've used is Nike Run, which measures the amount of calories burnt while i'm running, this is pretty much always the same as the amount shown on the treadmill at the gym and when I input it into my fitness pal its pretty similar but a lot of the time, tends to be a bit higher, so I have to…

5 ft 4 and goal weight is 135 :) (seems to be a common trend) Dont think id want to be going lower as I have quite a sterdy frame and tend to look gaunt at a very small weight. Also that would be smack bang in the middle of my bmi Will work on BF% when im at my goal weight :)

also diced peppers.red onion, baby corn and mange tout with sweet chilli sauce (cooked) is good also :)

Stuffed peppers/portobellow mushrooms! Healthy roast dinner with lots of veggies! :)

I think this demonstrates your low self esteem, obviously you have quite little confidence and struggle with taking compliments. Next time someone ask's, just say...yes thanks for asking, its as easy as that, and you'll feel great about it :)

It is careless of your husband to bring this home for you (if he knows how you feel about it) If you havnt spoken to him about it and continue to eat the chocolate then why is he going to think that this is an issue? Just communicate with him :)

I know it doesnt sound all that great but you could use iceberg lettuce leave to wrap things like chicken or tuna :) not as filling but tastes good and is served quite often at Chinese restaurants!

20 lbs :)

To put it simple for you with no jargon. My fitness pal (mfp) says for you to eat 1200 calories, if you input exercise i.e. 300 cals burned then it will increase your allowed calorie in take to (1500 calories) as it recommends that you eat the calories you have burned back in order to loose weight safely (you will…

You havnt mentioned much about your diet, which could have a very large factor in regards to the excess tummy fat. Avoid any complex carbs i.e. white breads, also avoid any fizzy drinks and alcohol. All of these contribute to tummy fat and bloated tummys, maybe evaluate your diet also and change things up to see whether…

Thats what worked for me, and it is similar to what I am currently following for my half marathon, so hope it works for you!

Nike tends to be pretty reliable with any of there running trainers :) Also a great plan if you are starting out is to just aim for a certain amount of miles and gradually increase you milage every week. I.e if you ran 1 1/4 miles this week on next weeks run up that to 1 3/4 miles. Use gradual increases as if you try to…

DONT HAVE CHOCOLATE IN THE FRIDGE. simple as that. If you cant see it you wont eat it, and if you live with others ask them to not put it anywhere that you can see it, if someone asked you if you want food tell them you are dieting and they will be more considerate next time :)

Do the opposite of what most of us are trying to do, set a high calorie goal and make sure you meet it everyday, regardless if you are hungry or not eat whatever you have prepared. You may forget to eat sometimes but when you get in a routine of having breakfast, am snack, lunch, pm snack, dinner, desert youll soon start…

My main advise is to weigh once a week, honestly you can fluctuate upto three lbs in the space of the day i.e. if you need to release your bowels !! (has to be said) Weight the same time once a week and you'll be much less stressed and actually look forward to weighing :) It will also take you a while to understand how…

one more tip (sorry im out of control lol) Maybe if you have work/college in the morning eat breakfast close to the time that you are leaving, then you wont have time for those extra two bowls :)

also wait atleast 5 minutes before your next bowl, as you probably arnt giving your brain time to realise that you are actually full!

I am also the same, I CRAAAAAAAVE cereal in the morning espeacially something sugary. However instead of eating something like speacial k eat weetabix with a spoon of honey, its really satisfying and you can have more of it for the amount of calories! Cereal like the ones you have stated are very high cal especially if you…

Seems like you are gaining muscle as you have said your workout is predominantly weight lifting so this is going to be the case. I advise that you take your measurements if you havnt done so yet, if you were looking to loose lbs rather than gain muscle you should be focusing more on cardio work. However I am not sure what…

FINALLLLLLY! Someone on my wave length! Im 5 ft 4 weight 145 lost 18 lbs and now need to eat an even smaller amount of calories to maintain my weight. In order to maintain my weight I need to be eating 1400/500 cals per day, in order to loose I need to be eating under 1200, I currently stick to 1000 and loose about 2 lbs…

Completely agree that it is personal preference, however I am starving by the time I wake up so look forward to breakfast however if I wasn’t hungry I wouldn’t force myself same applys for lunch, suppose it doesnt make much difference the time of day? As long as your not snacking on junk due to not having a meal.

1. Garlic (eat it everyday :/ ) 2. Weetabix 2.Honey 4.Chive cottage cheese 5. Berries 6. smoked salmon 7.Palma ham 8.Chicken 9.Portobellow mushrooms 10.Weight watcher bagels/Deserts Most frequent and Tasty!

Great news, however your insides are probably screaming for help! Its about being thin and HEALTHY
