  • I'm currently sat enjoying Tenerife too but sticking to my keto including no snacks or alcohol (1st time in Tenerife for this!) as before starting I was really not feeling well & I can't face the keto flu again. I am loving the fresh fish, steak, vegetables, nuts & avocados etc but as I am only in week 3 my motivation is…
  • Only 3 weeks into this and have taken a pre-biotic powder in morning black coffee (BIMUNO if you're interested) after week one gastric situ never been better. I have no gall bladder & IBS. 5% carbs 25% proteins 75% Fats Keto diet. Eating 2-3 meals a day, in an 8 hour window. Feeling & sleeping so much better than 3 weeks…
  • There are so many amazing answers here and I have just been through a regain of 10lbs never thought I would let slip! The best thing I have done is ask for help, mediate on my achievements & the achievements of others ~ then sit and watched all 3 programmes on U Tube "Weight of the Nation" boy did that get me moving!…
  • 5' 10" currently 188lbs goal is 174lbs with a leeway max of 177lbs before I panic as I have regained in the past! Keeping a tight hold is essential for me. Age 54, female.
  • Found the answer in Ditto Dan's blog ☺️ Thanks Dan.
  • Dare I ask, what is BPC? I add coconut oil to my one coffee I have each day but other than that I have no idea what you are all talking about and would love to know.
  • Where are you all? Not enough activity? A balance between getting on with our lives and being members of a group for/ to support so things seem a bit too quite for me personally. Is this what's happened no replies to your posts so you've given up? I'll sit tight another week before continuing my search for a balanced group…
  • Hi new here too. Cutting back on carbs depends on 2 things, your preferences and how many you have. Eating too many for me bloats me and makes me sluggish but I enjoy some without any concerns. Don't get too hung up on one food group, aim for balance and adjust things as you go along. You are in control and there is no…
  • I can report weightloss every week, I rarely eat exercise calories "in the bank" focusing on net ones at 1200 suits me, if I want 200 or so more then I have them, otherwise I can leave them. I am only walking though, 10k steps aday no more than 12k as yet. At 54 and having NEVER liked exercise, I am enjoying walking for…
  • I have had less out of not being hungry but the weight loss isn't better long term and you might find like me, that a day you go back "up" to 1200 (which is a great number for weightloss & living) on the following day you have gone up on the scales. I now weigh twice a week and try to keep it up to 1200. When I go on…
  • No one has mentioned alcohol. I agree with such a lot of other points but I know for me, without alcohol my waist changes a lot regardless of weight change.
  • I've had my Up3 for 6 weeks and gone from 2000 steps a day to 10-12k a day. I love it. I have my lazy alert set Mon-Fri 9am-7pm for every 15 minutes of inactivity and it never fails. I have had no problems. It links with MFP without any hitches. The Jawbone website shows videos of how to charge, put it on (took a while…
  • Yes I do and love it. Feel free to add me as a friend. Walking 10k steps daily in August, hope to keep this up 6/7 there after!
  • Hi Jade, I've just completed week 1 on the Jane Plan, hope you're enjoying it. How's it going for you? Jo

  • I noticed you haven't a great amount to lose but that to-date, your tracker, says you've still not lost anything. I wonder if your drinking is more important to you than serious attempts to get the weight off? You look young in your photo, how will you be in 10 years from now? I gave alcohol up for 3 months to kick start…
  • No you don't look fat but more to the point, you look happy. If you feel good, enjoy a healthy lifestyle ~ drop the numbers game. Don't judge yourself by others goals, set your own. :D
  • Double Wow!! Your story is so good but the photos are mind blowing in 50 days! I hope 100's will see them, they are totally inspiring ~ anyone struggling with starting or getting past a few teething problems she read your post. Congratulations!
  • What an amazing read, thank you for sharing with us. You & your husband sound lovely and you couldn't be giving a better gift ( no money could buy) to your children. Wow many CONGRATULATIONS you look FAB. Having just entered onederland myself, feel free to add me as a friend, just wish I'd done this when I was your age!
  • Congratulations seems too 'little' an expression. Outstanding work, encouragement for all of us who think we might never get there. You are so beautiful ~ I started thinking, bonnie girl ~ ended thinking beautiful woman. AB-FAB! XXX
  • So many of us have been just where you are today, we know how it hurts to face the whole journey. Break it into many many small attainable goals/steps. If you don't start you won't get to look back at April with a happy, joyous feeling. Look how far I've come (91 lbs) if I hadn't done day one then taken one day at a time,…
  • now why didn't I think of this, one of my favourite books & films...... thanks for the positive sharing.
  • I replied on here in early March, I have progressed and now trust my friends so therefore, I have an open diary to them. I enjoy gettnig food ideas and trust their judgement (or rather lack of it). Good post to reflect back on my journey, thanks.
  • still thinking............ not sure why I opened this thread, I am equally unlikely to post something complimenting myself as insulting someone else ~ does that count?
  • Had a few moments to look in your food diary. I would agree when you can, introduce some real food to your diet. A lovely large salad with a bit of your favourite fish (be it prawns, salmon, tuna), some fresh crispy vegetables with grilled chicken ~ raid ideas from other people's diaries if you have time to read, make a…
  • What is your BMI? It's so important that you stay well. A little extra weight to you may mean normal to your GP? Sorry to ask but I am not qualified to submit a reply even more so without knowing a tiny bit more. Welcome to the site, you can learn such a lot about healthy eating there are many amazing people on here.…
  • I've just gone from 199 to 198 ~ but can go up and down in a week many times. I weighed myself everyday for many many months to learn this ~ I now weigh once a week (sometimes twice if totally honest) and have learnt what happens if I eat different carbs, too many carbs(bad), more proteins (good), not enough water ~ they…
  • Sorry last post should have said Mharren ~ MANY THANKS
  • Wow. Mharred briliant reading thank you. I will try the website too as I have learnt more in 5 minutes than 30 years of suffering IBS.
  • Not so cute an old lady really, if someone politely declines, why force someone? Good for you, you pleased her and proved just how strong you can be! Well done :D I picture it landing on the car parked below which turns out to belong to the old lady..........
