Yup me too :happy:

GREAT advice guys thanks a lot :) My personal trainer says a stone is too much, maybe i am unrealistic! Ideally i would like to loose 14lbs but i would be happy with 7-10lbs :) is that better? I will definitely take all your advices and lower my cal intake, higher protein, salads, more water etc. I am also changing my…

Hi i have done slimming world for 2 years and now ive combined it with MFP. SW is amazing :) i got all my friends on to it too and they love it. no counting and there's so much you can eat that at first you are sceptical that you wont loose any weight but you do. try it out its great :)

i would agree with losing4mysoldier. i also find that nutella helps. get some wholemeal crackers and spread a little of nutella on there. nutella is one of the least fatty chocolates. My consultant at Slimming World also said that crushing some All Bran cereal and mixing it with nutella fills u up and its healthy :smile:

i agree with millerll. I had a quick look at your food diary and a McDonalds mcflurry and mccoy crisps for lunch wont help you get to your goal. You need to be filling your 1200 with healthy food, like fruit, veg, pasta, meat etc. AVOID binge eating or even thinking about it too much. Have a look at one of our food diaries…

Hi If you felt that by doing the old WW way u were always hungry then MFP wont really be any different as its calorie counting and you dont get to use alot of cals unless you are training (going to the gym) if you are going to the gym then you can add the exercises as well and that will give you more cals to use a day…

Carrots. I find that normally helps a lot. Also if you fancy something sweet, freeze some grapes and then you can nibble on them. as they are frozen it will take a while to even eat one which will keep you satisfied :smile:

Hi also http://400caloriesorless.com/?paged=12 and slimming world have LOADS of recipes. I have made an amazing weetabix cake (yes you read right weetabix) but it tastes like chocolate. Also lemon couscous cake to die for. just google those two and u'll get the recipes. enjoy x

Hi I dont think it counts as you need the pureness of the water to be able to flush out any toxics from your body

i think he's a personal trainer freerange. I kinda guessed that from his quotes at the end of his msgs. very knowledgable :smile:

great stuff. So brown pasta and brown rice for me from now on then :smile: Oh and can i knick one of ur quotes? "Some people call me obsessed. I think 'obsessed' is just a word lazy people use for 'committed'." i like it :happy:

WOW, WOW and WOW. That was an eye opener. Blimey i didnt realise i was doing so much wrong. OK i will try and force myself to eat more and replace my cals when i am training and see if that works for me. I took a closer look at what consists of carbs and protein in my diaires and i was surprised with some of them. Banana…

kwardklinck thanks for the advice :smile: whitestar i gave you the total intake of carbs, protein and fat since i joined MFP which was on 18th january. From that u can see that i have been eating nearly double the amount of carbs to protein as a whole. Can you work out the avarage percentage from that? if not how shall i…

Thanks whitestar OMG i just done what Flamenco did with calculating all my carbs, protein and fat for the whole time i have been on MFP and it looks like i have been over eating carbs :sad: How is that possible. Whitestar can you calculate these figures as percentages for me please (my maths is bad lol) Carbs: 2383 Fat:…

are u sure this is not a good way for men though and not for women? Mind you whenever i thought i was bad over the weekend i always end up loosing more when its my weigh in day so maybe what you are saying is true for me too. I will try that this week and see what happens. ive been kicking myself as i was soooo good the…

Hi whitestar Thanks for that its very useful. I do find that my clothes are getting looser but the scales are say different. I understand the theory about eating carbs if i am exercising more, which i do 4-5 times a week but i cant get it in my head that i need to eat carbs to give me energy. i get scared that if i eat…

You need to try and be positive. Exercise is the key as that way you can cheat now and again and not gain any weight. If you are on a strict diet without treating your self you will always go back to binge eating. Have you every considered Slimming World? You can eat what you want (healthy way of course) without counting…
