Yep I also love those late evening snacks, but found the following sometimes help TV off...........go do something else, even if its boring ironing or washing up. Exercise Go to bed Brush teeth Only healthy snack e.g. bowl of porridge (fills you nicely) And the obvious one, make sure your eating enough throughout the day.…

YES YES YES, TDEE so much more pleasant and less obsessive.

Guys Guys Guys, I'm loosing, I'm healthy, I'm active so I ain't gonna sweat this one (no pun intended), I just wondered peoples views that's all. Interesting that people see a workout on a machine/ running/ dvd or weights as the only way to stay fit. Have I logged it as exercise in the past YES , but only when I clean for…

Yeh, said I can eat like loads more. Hooray!

Ha ha thanks guys,. .. Loosing the pounds well. Down to 139 llbs yay (about 2llbs a week). Just always bloody hungry. I find 1200cals pre exercise hard to sustain and feel quite weak most of the day, so I guess I'm looking for ways to increase my food allowance without feeling so bloody guilty for eating. I find since…

Huh???? Who said I was fat? Scary! Having checked my bmi even at my heaviest I was healthy. Gotta love these debates though!

Ha Ha I feel you, weights are counted as strength training, carrying a screaming toddler around...not. What do you think wrestling them into a car seat during a major tantrum counts as ???:laugh:

Is house cleaning counted as everyday activity? I should let my husband know that he should be doing this ha ha. Well In answer to your question, I was never overweight, I was within my bmi, 5ft 7 and just under 11 stone. But just felt heavier and comments from my father saying I was "yuk fat and still looked pregnant"…

OCD sucks, I've suffered for years, benefits for me were natural weight loss during stressful periods but be careful with swopping one form of obsession for another. 23llbs loss in 5 weeks says it all, that's a quick drop. Haven't read your profile but do you need to loose weight? Catch yourself when you begin obsessing…

Wowsa would have eaten my arm. Just upped my intake from 1200 to 1400 as felt ill on so little, still lost this week( 2llbs) I've also dropped my exercise from 6 days to when I feel like it as I've realised my calorie intake was so low I was gonna loose anyway, give your body time to adapt. Worth reading fattofit and doing…

Hiya, I started my weight lose after a person asked if I was expecting! How rude! Well actually a couple of people. I did get bloating , still do but was within my bmi and although maybe the top end, considered myself healthy for my height 5ft 7 11 stone. However this did make me paranoid and eventually I motivated myself…

YAY , just tried it out, and guess what I can eat more...Happy DAYS. Bonus as you don't need to recalculate calories daily based on if you've worked out on that day or not. Also gives a healthy target weight loss chart with a realistic goal. Fitter than I thought! Hope it works although must remember not to eat my calories…

Hi try that fattofit site much less confusing, I just recalculated and I've been eating way less than I should be, you probably surprise yourself and need to eat more, it also gives a healthy weight loss goal. Good luck

Amazing thread thanks so much for some real useful info. ....now i'm gonna go eat.:wink:

oOpps don't know how to do this reply thanks for feedback

Question regarding what calorie intake or lack of it counts as starvation mode????? Currently struggling on 1200 as recommended by this site 5 ft 7 fairly active, usually exercise at least 4/5 times a week and eat back calories. Current weight 141llb so not tiny, and within bmi. Period stopped. Not pregnant! Think about…

If I didn't eat after 3 I'd probably end up chewing my arm off, my fav meal is about 5/6 ish and I make it the largest one with carbs to fill me.

Maybe eat a larger meal a bit later on, when u eating your last meal? I have to go to bed sometimes I get so hungry, also a victim to the slouched on the sofa watching tv hunger monster.

Ha ha yep defo their issue and others will see it for that, take it as a complement in a way she defo sounds like she wants to be you. Weddings etc can cause so much drama, two of my friends fell out over silly things and their weddings became quite competitive. Longterm friendship ended. Stress can do weird stuff to…

Kids are great aren't they, just literally after giving birth my teenage step daughter rudely lifted my top poked my belly and went "urrrr look at that!" Devastated! in front of my mother in law who pulled an equally discusted face at the sight. U feel so fragile afterwards its great so many woman embrace these life lines,…

Awww my Dads wife turned up in a white dress on my wedding day! and it was probably more expensive than mine lol. wasn't amused at the time though! But bigger things to sweat over these days, besides more of a reflection on their own needs to fit in or stand out. :smile:

Just lick it then spit it out! (CHOCOLATE YOU GUYS) Laxatives increased dosage if you eat more(not recommended but how they lost weight) Don't eat (ummm a theme setting in ) Be sick (again not advised but what they do) UMMMMMMM so I'll be a licking , ****ting, sick stick.

Well done you! great weight loss. Bit of a gym phob myself I work out at home but already noticing changes, I add weights to routine, never had abs to begin with lol so not so worried about this just toning fine for me, that said watch this space I am getting a bit addicted to this fitness lark, Thanks:smile:

Wowsa girl (crazy 4lulu) you look amazing, wouldn't notice any stretch marks if I looked like that! Yep its been 2 and half years now, still visible but three gorgeous kids so a sign of life I guess. How long did it take to get in your shape, do you do a lot of weights then? Any tips on your eating plan/exercise plan?…

Wow well done u, 16llb in a month, just clean eating or exercise as well?

Ha ha I was hoping this may be a suggestion, seeing as you gave some advisehope you don't mind me using you as sounding board but what do you think of increased protein? My intake says over today and all I've planned is smoked salmon 115grm (lunch) and 100grms chicken with other food of course e.g/ vegies/rice Is this to…

OMG since starting to follow a proper calorie intake I feel hungry all the time. All I think about is food . I found working out or a distraction like cleaning helps but sometimes I feel to shaky and just want to eat. I think my body is adapting to such a reduction in calorie intake and increase in activity levels. But…

Early is the only way with me, almost impossible to do a workout with toddlers around my feet. I set a goal at getting up 7 am before kids for 30 minutes dvd session. I actually enjoy the fact that I've achieved it and the rest of the day is mine. Also get your calorie increase early on helps me plan food intake for the…

Ok thanks guys, I think I'll count the warm up as only 5 mins on dvds like Gillian Michaels, as I'm loosing weight quicker than thought, so so far so good, but I disregard the cool down, I'm craving food like crazy feel snappy and shaky quite a lot of the day so don't know whether i'm underestimating my activity level…
