Thanks everyone! I was worried about fat bombs melting also, just hadn't come up with a solution as to how to transport them just yet. I may experiment with having one/some before I go out. I'm not keen on the idea of eating nuts, purely from a chewing point of view - thought that fat bombs might be easier as they'll sort…

This isn't one, but a series of diets based on what your blood type is. What little I've seen of it could not be qualified as low carb, and certain variants of the diet also appear to be low-fat as well. http://www.webmd.com/diet/a-z/blood-type-diet

I try not to unless my overall deficit ends up being more than 1000 calories for the day (fairly regular occurrence as I'm training for a marathon), in which case I top up until it's less than 1000 calories.

I've taken a quick look at the last few days of your diary, and feel that there is a lot of room for "improvement" there. There seems to be a lot of take-away/restaurant food there - my advice would be to stop eating that, unless it's for a treat (birthday or anniversary, something like that). I don't consider anything…

I started this and lost both weight and inches during the first cycle. However, I stopped doing it after the first few weeks of Cycle 2 as the huge amounts of carbs (and I mean massive) did not agree with me at all (I had elevated body temperatures, severe indigestion, digestive issues, and hypoglycemic episodes after…

I was so relieved to find this discussion! I joined this group today as having stepped on the scales this morning on day 15 of a keto diet, I find I haven't lost any weight at all in the last week. I know I lost quite a bit of weight in the first, as I was back to my pre-Christmas weight as of last Monday (I don't know how…

I started out on 1600, which MFP slowly reduced down to my current 1200. I don't eat my calories back right now, but pan to stay incorporating then as I approach my target weight and beyond. I started my journey in April, and it's been a very successful one so far. I have some other funny little rules (no bread, no…

The words "just" and "only" shouldn't be in your sentences - any form of exercise is good, and the fact that you're starting out with something that you know you can do demonstrates a willingness to continue and take on harder work as you get fitter. If you started out too hard you'd only lose motivation because it was too…

LOVE this - it's exactly what me and my husband have discovered on our own journeys. Well done to you, you look incredible - an inspiration to all.

Thanks brown46545! Re the medical conditions thing, I have two conditions that make it harder to lose weight, one of them treated, the other not, so I know how much harder that can make everything :-)

I too have had the "wasting away" comment made, and I'm sure people think they're being complimentary, but I just find it irritating. I'm still medically overweight, so wasting away is something of an overstatement. I have two personal massive bug-bears, the first being the all-powerful "do you feel better for it?". This…

I've lost 66lbs up to now using a combination of hard exercise (mostly cardio, with some muscle toning) and calorie counting, and so far I am devoid of loose/saggy skin. I started using moisturiser on the areas of my body that most "needed" it fairly early on in my journey when I started to notice some excess skin on my…

This doesn't sound like PF to me, particularly as you seem to be able to pinpoint the time that the problem suddenly started. PF is a thickening of the ligament in your foot which builds over time, so you would probably have noticed it developing. I've had bilateral plantar fasciitis (the condition in both feet) and had to…
