What an achievement!!! Massive well done to you. :) xx

Hey, I'm 5 3. SW 196 CW 180 GW 140. Started around 10 weeks ago on mfp @190lbs (lost the initial 6lb before I joined) and hoping to hit my goal by November. Love this site, find logging my food really helps me stay on track and makes me want to exercise for extra cals :). Have done 30 day shred and just started ripped in…

Salmon with peri peri sauce and spicy veg cous cous :)

I have 200ish breakfast 300ish lunch 400-500 dinner and 400 usually on snacks throughout the day! Love my snacks :)

I have the same problem. Husband works backshift and when kids in bed and time to relax. I find it hard to resist late night snacking. So I still snack but try find lower calorie alternatives, have an earlier night than usual and maybe a relaxing bath to distract myself from eating more. :) good luck

This is pretty obvious. Think she was looking for some advice and tips rather than stating the obvious. Must be difficult being so perfect.

If you cut the crusts off bread you are losing half the calories there, I do it and 2 slice less than 100 cals :)

I eat kingsmill 50/50 crusts away bread now and again (UK) basically just white or white and wholemeal bread without crusts. They are around 47 cals a slice. full normal slice is around 100 so would say yeah around half the calories :)

Thanks, the non asterisks info helps a lot. Will try use these in future x

What an inspiration you are. Thanks for sharing your story. Well done to you :) x

Hiya, sorry if this has been covered already. Changed to TDEE-20% 3 weeks ago now and have lost nothing so far. I understand it can take a few weeks for your body to start burning fat more efficiently so trying to be patient. I am 5ft 4 33 year old female. eating around 1700-1800 a day. This was from 1200 when I first…

ahh never realised

I'm a mega crisp fiend too, love the bad boys :) Try and change to eating lower fat crisps to start with maybe wotsits, quavers, even multipack monster munch are around 100 cals. I now live on snack a jacks. Hope you are in the Uk or you'll be wondering what the hell i'm on about lol.

Hey, from bonny Scotland myself :) feel free to add. not long joined and need some pals :) x

I usually weigh raw or before cooking since you can have things like pasta etc measured before hand without waste. If weighing after cooked, you don't know the calories in it until you have already cooked it.

The GDA (guideline Daily Amount) for sugar in the uk is 90g a day for an average woman eating 2000 cals a day, on mfp its something silly like 25g. You can amend the amount yourself if it makes you feel better? If your not eating anything with added sugar, I wouldn't worry.

I'm fae Glenrothes in Fife :). x

Hey Scottish Australian Person haha. I'm Scottish myself :) Found this site 5 wks ago and logging food is a real eye opener and definitely the way forward for me. I am now officially addicted to this site, the recipes, the funny posts, the lot! Good luck. Feel free to add me. Oh and I weigh in a Monday morning, works for…

Depends on your activity level, have copy and pasted from fat 2 fit radio ;) How Many Calories Should I Eat? Based on your goal weight, the following chart was generated. The chart shows the number of calories that you should eat on a daily basis to reach your goal weight. At Fat 2 Fit Radio we advocate eating like the…

I could've wrote this post :) Im 5 ft 4 currently 185lb and uk 16. Hour glass when I lose this stomach lol. My goal is 140lb have been this in the past, although was a while ago now. Think I would be happy as a comfortable size 12. Slimmer waist, still retaining boobs and bum but smaller :)

Joined about 5 wks ago, used an app on my phone for the first few wks eating 1200 cals though. Was just confused over eating back exercise cals as was told this was factored into tdee but if I am eating my BMR only should I stick to 1600 on the days I don't work out and add my exercise cals onto the days I do work out then?

I have started drinking coffee with Stevia sweetener, it is natural and doesn't contain aspartame .

Anyone in the know? Was told previously not to eat back my exercise cals as this is factored into BMR, TDEE so at a loss how I should continue?

I'm 5' 4 sw 14 stone after my 2 babies now 185, looking to lose another 45 if I can. Doing 30 day shred at the mo and planning doing some cardio every week day when that's finished. Want to be slim again :) feel free to add me :) xx

Absolutely mind-blowing. Well done :) :) :)

Thanks on the not eating exercise cals with the 20%-tdee, still getting to grips with it all really. Will try the nuts and full fat dairy. Thanks v much :)

Anyone?

Strawberries cut in half with low fat yogurt in the middle, can be frozen for a bit so takes longer to eat :). Banana chopped 3 or 4 times with smear of peanut butter between slices, can also be frozen. Rice or corn cakes with low fat soft cheese. Low fat yogurt with berries, love blueberries :).

Whole wheat tortilla wrap with either 100g turkey, chicken or half tin tuna with either tablespoon of extra light mayo, sweet chilli sauce or nandos medium sauce and salad of lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber. 250-300 cals depending on wrap size, very filling and delicious :) or tomato soup and wholemeal roll
