Thanks everyone. I guessed at around 800 kcals but i do have atleast 250 kcals spare today. I did enjoy them.

You look fantastic. Congratulations on your weight loss so far.

I started healthy eating after my holiday in August as I was 252lbs. My set my goal weight at 170lbs so I had 82 lbs to lose and now I have 47lb to go. It get easier over time. I found the first few weeks the hardest as it was a change of eating habits. But once I was over that hurdle, its been easier to choose which foods…

That is an awesome weight loss so far. Well done! But you should have notices a difference by now. That must be atleast 3 dress sizes! Don't be discouraged though, its all worth it.

Well done! WTG! You are an inspiration.

Hi, I'm 40. Add me if you'd like. The more support the better.

I would strongly recommend you speaking to your doctors to see if there is someone there that could advise you on this accurately as she is a minor. But if you work out her BMR & times it by her level of activity on one of the BMR calculators online, it works out around 2,497 Kcals per day. But please don't take this to be…

Well done! Congratulations. Its so much easier when you have the support of friends on here, don't you think?

Thats great! Well done. Congratulations.

I agree, water is good to stop the hunger for me too.

I have 5 jobs - Clinical support worker, E Rostering Assistant, Clerical Administrator, Novelty cake maker and soon to be a Team Leader for MEND support groups.

What a great feeling you must have had for that achievement. Makes it all worth it. :-D

Welcome. Feel freel to add me too.

Welcome. Feel free to add me too.

No worries. Doesn't mean to say you have to give up. Keep strong and motivated and you will get back on track. It was only a one off.

The hula hoop. Great fun. Tones up the waist lol

I believe you still need to watch the fat and sugar intake. But MFP can guide you on that.

Feel free to add me too. It definately helps when you have support from people who are doing the same as you, especially when you see they are achieving their own goals. Its like an inspiration and keeps you focused.

I lost 11 lbs in my first week but I did have 6 1/2 stone to loose and I get a lot of water retention. But I am averaging out at 3 lbs a week at the moment. A friend of mine has 1 1/2 stone to loose and she is only loosing 1/2 - 1 lb a week even on her first week so it really depends. Keep going.

Crisps & Peanut Butter are my weakness so I no longer buy them.

You are eating way too little. Need to increase your calorie intake or your body will definately go into starvation mode. Remember when you loose weight fast because of lack of food, you do not loose fat but muscle and water and as soon as you start eating again, you will gain very quickly.

Welcome aboard.

I'll send you a request.

You can add me too if you'd like :)

Well done. Keep going, your doing great.

It happened to my brother on a regular basis. So, he put dog food in his sandwich one day and as usual someone stole it. They never went missing after that. LOL. Not that I recommend anyone to do this but it was funny.

Tikka mixed into Fromage Frais and spread over the top of a Chicken breast, then grilled. Its really nice.

I weigh myself every day, sometimes twice a day. I have even given my mum the scales to look after to stop me doing it but I went and go them back after a couple of days. I hate not knowing if I have gained or lost. It does become an obsession. My daughter tells me off frequently as she knows its not good as your weight…

Its the same with many people, they just don't realise how good they look to have lost all those pounds. Believe me, I am just as bad. Even when I have been slim in the past, I still thought I was fat. Its a self image thing. But believe me, the response from others should reassure you. 30 lbs is a lot to loose. Well done!
