I love the salads from Pret a Manger here in the UK. I am still shocked about this, but they display the calories for them in the shop, only these calories don't include the tub of dressing in the salad. They also don't tell you that's the calories minus the dressing, which I think is another 100-200 on its own. To me they…

If you have calories left over why not add to your evening meal so you feel fuller? What are you eating that's leaving you so hungry?

There is no way your Dr is going to send you anywhere to lose weight, if they do they should be struck off! Please get help about your body image, you are not fat and do not need to lose weight!!!

I agree, you don't need to lose weight and you do not appear have much fat. I'm surprised you say you are a size 12 as you look like an 8 to me. I honestly think you are seeing fat that doesn't exist, and hiding away in bigger clothes because of it.

You are right I did misread. :) OP try adding in calories dense foods and full fat versions of things. That will help to boost your intake without adding loads of extra food. Avocado and peanut butter too.

I really don't get how someone who has gained weight by eating too much (which includes me!) can suddenly be unable to eat more than 1000 calories. I know people will be eating less calorie dense food but 1000 is so easy to do if you eat things like meat, cheese, yoghurt etc which are all still healthy food choices.

Digital, my manual ones were way off!

I have to get B12 injections every couple of months because I don't absorb it from food. But it doesn't help with weight loss only energy levels. But personally I wouldn't take've over the RDA, you don't even really need the supplements if your diet contains things like eggs, dairy and meat etc as you should absorb all the…

To be honest 6 stone (84lbs) in 9 months isn't going to be a realistic target. You'd need to consistently lose 2lbs to 2.5lbs a week to achieve that and losing at that steady a pace doesn't happen to many people. If I was you'd I'd keep the target weight but give yourself a much more realistic timescale to lose it over. If…

I was diagnosed as hypothyroid earlier this year and have today started on 100mcg of levothyroxine a day. My GP (in UK) started me on 25mcg and has been taking bloods every 2 months and slowly increasing my meds. He said my levels are slowly improving and he might still need to increase my dose but wants to take it slow. I…

Seafood, most of it looks :sick: anyway!

Definitely the way I look in photos. I get ready to go out or get dressed up and when I look in the mirror I feel happy about how I look. Then I see a picture someone has taken of me and I look way bigger than I thought.

Ditto on that. I love tea!!☕️☕️ I tried fruit teas but I just prefer good old everyday tea!

Um Bongo. Orangina in glass bottles. Chocolate milk on holiday in Spain served with ice.

On my wedding day I couldn't have told you what colour any of my guests wore!! I think brides who get all precious about people wearing white/cream need to get a grip. Unless it looks like a wedding dress, it doesn't matter as its obvious who the bride is! You could always dress it with bright coloured shoes and…

I love it too! I find it hilarious how they think they just eat healthy food, then you see what they've eaten at the end if the week and the only veg they've had was the peas in the rice from their Chinese takeaway! I know so many people who would benefit from that show, probably me included! :)

I want to know what exercise you are doing which is burning upwards of 2500 calories!?!

It's purely a cost thing for me. I work out at home because I can't afford to join any of the gyms near me!

This is why I let my sister and sister in law pick their own dress style. I would never make someone wear something they didn't feel comfortable in! All I did was choose the colour and pay! Some people need to try to remember what a wedding is actually about, and it's not every tiny detail being 'perfect'!

1704. Over goal as I got my mitts on some dairy milk Oreo chocolate.......nom.

Nothing like generalisations........

I really enjoy the Jillian Michaels Kickboxing Fastfix DVD, it is 3 20 min workouts and is cardio.

I saw this on the news this morning, he hadn't left his bedroom for 2 years. I just find it really sad someone can end up like that.

If that's the case why are you exercising intensively 4-6 times a week? Cut back on the exercise and spend some time logging recipes or just relaxing if your life is so busy you don't have time to tie shoelaces. Weight loss is mainly about your diet, exercise is really about health. You also need to think about the long…

Love this thread! Cats are the best.:heart:

Do they sell the small cans of coke in the US? In the UK we get mini cans which are 150ml. A little can like that might be enough to satisfy your craving so you don't have to cut it out completely.

This is exactly what I was just going to post (but with the right lyrics! :p) :heart:

Nadia G from *****in Kitchen. She is awesome.

Really? I must try that, I love bananas until they start going brown and soft.

One of my best mates has a full sleeve, well a partially finished one. I was a little sceptical when she said she was getting it done as I couldn't picture what it would look like but it's beautiful and so well done. Personally I wouldn't have one, but I think they can look amazing!
