I gave up smoking 3 months ago and decided that due to a plateau and not losing that stopping smoking would take preference and i would stop the diet for a few months. My weight increased by 14-18lb overall but i have restarted it this week. I used to be on 40 cigs a day which i cut down to 20 for a few months. I then…

I Did it for a week but had better results using fitnesspal

Best to go over to the success stories and stare at other peoples photos. I did it a while back and the motivation comes from peoples comments as well as thinking to yourself "that will be me one day"

Im from the UK. I live in York which is in North Yorkshire. Pleased to meet you all

Eat some chocolate but only about 100 calories worth. I make sure i eat 1 chocolate bar a day (usually a 2 finger kitkat) If i cant eat the good stuff when im dieting how can i expect to do it when im not??

Full fat milk to a good way to make up your calories without eating

To us Brits....bacon is the key to a good hearty but very unhealthy fried breakfast- You cant have a slap up hangover cureing grease dripping breakfast without bacon. I have tried turkey bacon and to me it resembles bland cardboard The pig is the holy grail to bacon

yes you are correct.....Gold star

your metabolism slows down throughout the night ( or so i believe) which is why we can go 6-8 hours eithout eating thus needing a boost (kickstart) with a decent calorific breakfast.

Im just amazed that 1 slice of toast, 2 hard boiled eggs and a rashed of bacon comes in just under 300 calories which is fantastic. Yesterday i had the same for lunch and then a jacket potato with beans for tea and felt full all day

Research shows that your body needs at least 250 calorie breakfast to kick start your metabolism which is why they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Ill have to see how well my bacon and eggs works but so far im very happy

Both knees are bad pal- Trying to get a doctor to shove a camera in there is like getting blood from a stone. I am right handed and therefore write with my right hand.

Anyone here wanna set up a beginner routine? Remember the bad knees though

I weight just over 13 stone (85kgs) which according to the bmi chart is just higher than the normal catagory

Due to knee problems and lack of motivation all gym work has stopped to see if that gets the weight off (sadly NO) Yes 1200 a day is a little like starving myself ( hence the increase to 1800) I havent logged for 3 weeks to give my body a reset. I didnt look at my percentages when i started back in January but looking back…

i have done the mastercleanse before and lasted a week. I am not happy with my body ( my wife calls it fatarexia- she believes my mind is still in fat mode) if i spend a few weeks at 1200 calories i dont loose- if i increase to 1800 calories i dont loose so im at a total lose now. Maybe the mastercleanse for a week is a…

What did i do wrong with the photo? I love being bald, in fact....Just shaven it today with a brand new razor- smoother than a babies bum

Cheers all for the good advice, I'll lower to 1600 and see what happens.

problem i have is im always hungry so decreasing calories would leave me starving!! For example, I had a bowl of cereal yesterday and 45 mins later i felt like i needed to eat a horse. Maybe i should try 1200 cals a day and see if my body adjusts to it

My fibre was 8 points over for yesterday so getting plenty of it. Has my metabalism stopped whic is why I always hungry or is it in over drive? 8 weeks ago I was never hungry and now I'm hungry all the time??? Has anyone had success in increasing calories to lose weight? Thanks

It was posts from other people's success on here that helped to come this far. I wish you all the luck on your journey. Elle408- congrads, you look amazing.

Meparker, Isn't it nice to see other people's achievements to push yourself that little bit harder. I never knew when I started I could get this far and it's mostly due to topics on here that have inspired me to continue. Well done to all that have replied

Swaymyway that is astonishing well done. You must be so frustrated at that last few lbs, I know I have been about getting into onederland. Hmm, maybe we should add the motivation of the weight lose as well and how to chose your target weight. I'll start, I went to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant for my 30th birthday and the…

Keep up the good work guys, your all doing so well.

Your diet plan consisted of how many calories? thanks

You managed on 1200-1400 calories a day? I guess the only true way to find out whats wrong is to lower my calories back down to a smaller amount and see what direction that takes me in. Thank you for your comment

I was Gunna mention a large palm tree but thought better of it lol

Im from York, UK. Welcome to the one of the best sites on the web where people actually leave most of their clothes on lol

HI Jon and welcome. I started out in January @ 250lbs and not far off 200lb mark so i will say this to you- If i can do it....SO CAN YOU!!!! I too didnt want my kids to be embarassed of me when we were seen out together but my main motiation was the fact i couldnt stand how i looked in the mirror, i was constantly paranoid…
