Pokemon go is great for motivation! I was trying to decide whether I should walk to the supermarket or drive, then I saw a dragon event started today so I decided to walk! Feel free to add me, my code is 8103 0309 2791

Thanks for the tips guys. I've tried coconut milk and it cooked fine but a little longer than I cook it using normal milk. Plus it tasted delicious

I don't mind bottled salad dressing but the low calorie/fat free ones are basically just water. I'd rather just take the calories!

Thanks guys! I may try it just with water to see if its the oats or the milk. Then I can play around with different types of milk alternatives.

That's a great idea, I love it! Are you using an online map or a physical one?

I really enjoy fitnessblender, their workouts are on youtube and they different videos for beginner, moderate etc. Another one I liked was Paula B fitness, it's aimed at a more 'mature' audience but I found these perfect for a beginner, and I liked her personality which always helps in a workout video.

I have very similar calorie goals to you. I aim for 1200/1300 and eat back exercise calories. My diary is open so feel free to add, although I have been doing very badly lately! My meals are generally OK but I have been snacking a huge amount- I am a stress eater and have had some work issues. I am hoping to get back on…

My goal is 1200 as I'm 4"10. My diary is open, feel free to take a look! I haven't been doing well at all recently but am trying to sort it out from today. I eat back my exercise calories so in reality eat around 1200 to 1500.

My favourite is Alpro Cashew milk as its nice and creamy. I started off with their coconut milk as I love the flavour, but find it's too watery for cereal. I don't think it has a taste of cashews but some people do find that it does.

I'm 4"10 and 160. My heaviest was 168 and my lowest since was 148, but I've crept back up again. My current goal is to get back to 148 and then take it from there.

I'm similar, im 4"10 and about 160. I started my journey at 168 which was my heaviest, i got down to 148 but have now crept back to 160 mostly due to stress eating since I've been at home. My current goal is to get back to 148 - I've done it once so I must be able to do it again!

I'm so glad you asked this, I've been wondering myself for bananas. I have tried weighing mine but they seem far too high in calories. Next time I may try weighing it before and then the peel after and subtracting the peel weight, I do this with chicken on the bone so I guess it's the same principle.

Sounds yummy! If this is your first week then don't get too down on yourself if you do slip up. Personally I love chocolate so I plan in some allowances for chocolate as it avoids me bingeing after a while.

Feel free to add me! My goal is 1200 but I tend to eat around 1400 with exercise.

Mine does this quite often. O find if I turn off the step tracking and turn it back on, and then disconnect fitbit from MFP again it starts working. It's usually not immediate, it may be an hour or two later. If this doesn't work there are some threads on the fitbit forums that give more detailed advice, I just searched…

For me, the first week was quite bad but then I realised I needed to get my act together as we may be like this for some time. I like having more time to exercise, I work full time still but as I am working from home I don't have to get up so early which is really helping me not skip workouts. Like you I also find not…

I'm in Derby :)

Personally I use fitnessblender and HASfit both in youtube. Both have a range of all different difficulty levels.

Personally I love my Fitbit. I used to have a charge 2 but it recently broke after many years and I have replaced it with the Inspire HR. If you want more smartwatch like qualities you're looking at the higher price range, but I'm happy with the features of my inspire and it was only £70.

Fitnessblender on YouTube have a very good range of workouts for all abilities, I'd recommend checking them out

Me too! Walking is one of my favourite exercises, I enjoy walking to work instead of driving on some days and I recently got into audiobooks which are a complete game changer

Bit of a weird reason for me - for some reason, a few people I know insist you can't exercise at home, you NEED a gym or to go out running etc. They are especially baffled about the idea of doing cardio in my living room. I want to prove them wrong - I already lost some weight last year but they seem to have forgotten that…

Hi all! Im 4"10. Currently around 158, my heaviest was about 168. I got down to the high 140s last year but its crept up again over winter. I'm determined not to let it get to where I started.

I have eggs which I prepare in advance. I just get a baking tray, line with silicone cupcake cases and then stick an egg in with cheese on top, or sometimes sandwich meat. They are baked in the oven for about 12-15 mins and then in the morning I pop them in the microwave for 45 seconds.

I'm the same. I am currently sticking to maintenance until the new year but it's hard to not see progress and I don't like feeling almost like I'm putting it off.

If you are interested in the nutrients etc., you cold try having different types, or varying for what you use them for. I use normal milk for my tea but use cashew milk for chia pudding which I have regularly. Sometimes I have coconut milk and it makes a lovely low calorie hot chocolate.

I have an open diary and aim for 1200-1400 calories, feel free to add me.

I'm the same. I'm in the UK and I struggle when it starts getting dark early. At the moment it's dark by 4pm and it's not fun. With the lower temperatures I also find it a struggle to get myself to walk rather than drive into the office. The only plus side is that this summer I brought a classic car so I'm trying to limit…

I would like to incorporate some more meat-free meals into my diet. The problem I have is that I need to eat low carb due to a blood sugar issue - so my meals tend to be meat & veg. Does anyone have any ideas for this?

I work in an office and my lunches tend to be salads, soups (homemade or tinned), leftovers, or batch meals such as chilli, bolognese, meat&veg etc. Sometimes a cold lunch like veggie sticks with pitta and hummous,
