Dunno where you're based, but we buy nak'd bars. Ingredients: Dates, cashews, raisins and cocoa. Good for a treat every now and again.

Just out of interest, not related to weight loss, but may be of use if you make your own bread, pizza, pasta do you have issues? Unless I use really cheap flour, I can eat what I like!

I follow a gluten and dairy free diet and its worked for me. After Christmas, Easter etc I am very bloated and it takes 2 weeks + to get back to normal. A Freind who is also a dietitian and PT, advised it. I wouldn't say it's helped with Weightloss in general, but we cook all our meals from scratch, I do eat full fat…

Thanks for the replies both. Sorry, I went away for the weekend, hence the lack of replies. Thank you for the info on BMR, I used to be 148 and looked good, I don't think I'll ever hit that again as I would like to build a bir more muscle. But 148 is the top of my healthy weigh when it comes to BMI. At present I am obese,…

Amazing work, I'm pretty much the same size as you're starting pic. What did you do exactly? I'm stuck on a plateau, but if I can achieve what you have in 14 weeks. I'd be over the moon. Congratulations and well done.

Just completed our first day of T25 after switching from insanity. Bith love insanity, but the 25 min workout was what attracted us. First impressions are the time works for us and it's a great 30 min workout and the optional modifier is brilliant, but it's a bit dancey, where as insanity is a lot more boot campish. It's…

Completed our first session today. Not 100% convinced, as we're switching over from insanity for the time. We were both sweating at the end. A lot more gentle on the joints than insanity and I like the modifier, as my foot plays up a little. We're both hoping foe body changes and I want to lose weight (6lb in 4 weeks) But…

I'm in, 20lb would be amazing and over half way ro my goal. How are others planning on tackling this? I'm waiting for T25 to be delivered, but it's going to run over the Christmas period and into the new year.

I'm also getting married July 1st in Italy. So a lor of guests (friends) will see ny on the beech and by the pool. I also want nixe photos as we had an engagement shoot just after I proposed on holiday in Disney and I'm at ny biggest 14.4st I'm currently 13.4st and want to be 10.8st(healthy bmi) by June 20th 2014 Current…

Google Robert Lustig research, his book bitter truth about sugar is a brilliant read and shows how much sugar and the food industry effects obesity. Also highlights the issues with diabetes and how there is bo miracle drug.

Hi, Yes, I have and I've had good results. The reason I started it was because although eating a healthy breakfast either porridge or scrambled eggs. I was getting a spike about 10am and really hungry. After doing a lot of research, I decided to give it a go and found I leaned our quit a but. I was running st the time and…

Apart from the body pod and hydro static weight measuring. What's the most accurate home process to measure body fat? I Think this is the way to go to measure progress. I'm a geek, so I need some sort of stats in my life :-)

But, what I would like to know is if it is muscle replacing my fat, inaccurate scales or some other phenomenon. I'm happy to make changes if required, but I need to know what.

Yeah, carbs are my issue. Working on cutting them back, but also trying to be organised with cooking a meal. After getting home from work and working out, I sometimes don't end up eating until after 7:30pm,which for me is to late on a regular basis. Thanks for the feedback, its appreciated.

I'm currently using an ultra, but think im going to switch to the Flex, as its quite easy to lose the ultra abd have come close a few tines. Love it though, should be a government issues device IMO

I am experiencing the same, stuck on 13 stone after losing 23ish. I'm hovering around this, but cant seem to shift the weight , but clothes are fitting and people are commenting. Its very frustrating though, I need to lose 3.3 stone to reach my healthy a d target BMI.

Just reading a book on sugar. Its very interesting, how much sugar is in everything. My mum is diabetic and so we are aware of processed sugar. Something needs to be done, sugar is in everything and not just a little bit! Good luck both, I am trying to reduce my intake to just natural sugars and as little processed as…

I have had one for 4 months and cant say its helped me lose weight, but it has opened my eyes to how inactive I am Monday - Friday. Without working out I usually only hit 6k steps! Where as weekends I do 10k+ good little device, want to swap to a flex though as I have almost lost it a few to many times now.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. Baked potatoes with cottage cheese and a little parmesan cheese sounds amazing, will add that to the meal planner. Thank you.

Cool, cheers. Ill check out TurboFire, I may do P90X this winter. But I love Insanity and how hard it is. I can often do 1k of cals on a Month 2 dvd. Cheers and good luck with Insanity, hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Cheers, I wasnt sure if that would be the case. But as you know Insanity is intense, especially Month 2. I picked insanity over P90X because of the duration and the fact you need bands and more room, but what is turbo fire like in comparison to Insanity? Have you completed it, I wasnt sure if it was aimed more at females.…

You have to was enough to say no and make the right choices. At first its really hard and pretty crappy, but it gets better. Eat which of veg and home prepared food, I find that processed food doesn't fill me and if I eat it. I want more. No one can stop you eating, but tbere are a lot of great people on here ready to…

I have had an epic binge tonight. Not happy about it, but sometimes I think it needs to be done. I have had enough now, so I'll stop now, not wait until tomorrow and this is why I'm cool with it. I have semi control. Eating is a huge phycological thing to, something I am working on.

So should it always stay at 180g or do I adjust according to my weight or calorie intake? Also how to a eat 180g that's a heck of a lot to consume.

Ok cool, so that works out at 1785 a day. But why 18know protein and does it matter whay type. Excuse all the questions, but I like to understand, knowledge is power.

Thabks for the replies. I have calculated ny TDEE and subtracted 1k from the total. Can you explain my protein and calorie requirements. I assumed I was doing right.

I am obese too, I don't look it, I just look overweight. But im 5.5 and weigh 13.2 so the charts say I am. My first goal is to get into overweight territory (12.12), but I am not to worried. Focus on your end goal and it will happen. I am on a weight/exercise plateau at the moment, but all is good! Keep up with the work…

I bought insanity and its been worth every penny. I was worried it was jusy a gimmick and it took me about 6 months to order. I have had my return. It beats a gym membership easily. You need to be disciplined though, 63 days is a long slog and it hurts a lot the first 2 weeks and the 6th week We are not fit, but our bodies…

We work together, we are getting married next year so whay better start. We both use MFP and both completed insanity together. She only has to lose a few lbs to be healthy whereas I sit in the obese group. But we just get on and do what we gota do and support each other. We'll both benefit in the end, we are a team.

I have been looking at the ft4, I have a cheap hrm at the moment and love it, so upgrading to a reputable brand is justified. Are there any cons to this device, I know it lacks a backlight which some people dont like. Cheers Job
