Put on your walking shoes and do about 5 miles.its great for the head ,so to speak,when you get back you have earned that snack and you will feel much better!!

Im a big berry fan!!I just like them I eat blueberries when I can get them like sweets,grow my own Tomato's,raspberries ,strawberries and Blackcurrants also have a couple of Apple trees there is no comparison to fruit picked from your own garden at least you know its free of any preservatives!!!

Sorry now but to anyone who says walking is not a workout not true,ok a slow stroll in the park certainly is not but a brisk 10k walk taking hills will burn up to 800cals for me takes me 2 hours I wear my hrm so Im not guessing,I also cannot afford the gym right now!I would suggest getting on your bike great for legs and…

when I see chips here I understand it as french fries,chips to me are crisps,I would say have a small bag and be done with it!!

I hear what you are saying but omg 43 lbs lost,that is just fantastic!you will get there stop beating yourself up,thats a super loss,just dont give up on yourself,if you have 43 lbs lost you are not doing anything wrong slow and steady will win the race!!!

huge pot of porridge!!!!!:flowerforyou:

Good for you,well done!I turned 45 in May,I got on my bike for the first time in about 20 yraes never thought Id do it,am getting fairly fit,not as fit as you but not too bad either!!!!!

I dont know to be honest whether I eat clean or not,what is not clean??? I cook everything from scratch all my groceries are the raw materials I need to cook with flour,butter,milk,buttermilk ect,I make most of my own bread dont use any packaged food aside from tinned tomato's ,while Im waiting for my own crop to…

its been one month! keep doing what you are doing and see how it is in 6 months also get someone to take a photo of you in the same clothes standing in the same position every month even if you dont see it on the scales you could well see a big difference! I really surprised myself this way!!! Dont give up!

my weight problems started when I was 20 and coincided with the pill!

Fab! real inspiration:flowerforyou:

Be carefull with this,although I didnt experience what you did after loosing alot of weight my cycle did change and I got pregnant! It could only happen to me:smile: anyway it will most likely settle down! well done on your weight loss!

I had a picture taken on a short break in November 2012 I had lost 28lbs at the time and was on my way to getting fit,well for me anyway,a couple of weeks ago I pulled the T shirt out of the press that I had worn in the first pic so I put it on with some leggins and asked my husband to take a picture of me,I was feeling a…

well I eat every 3 hours if I dont Id be starving,I have protein at every snack I try to stick to 1500-1700 cals a day ,Im pretty active so that does help,but if I had to go for hours without eating I would be miserable!

your post is just fabulous! I love your steady progress,you do not offer miracles but you really show that if you are in for the long haul it is possible to get there!Many congratulations!

Hi I dont use any convenience food I cook all our meals,I find a great place for ideas is allrecipes.co.uk!

well done

well done on your 6 lb loss,110 is fine if you have a small frame if you are very petit,Im 5 ft 2 and a medium -large frame and 126lbs was the lightest I was ever I was a member of unislim then and I was told if I lost more weight I would be suspended so I went to 134 lbs and it was fine then had a couple of successive…

Thats real inspiration!U look fab keep going and well done!:flowerforyou:

That would be me! I eat every 3-4 hours,works for me,I can get very lightheaded if my blood sugar isint stable,Im not diabetic or anything its just it can drop too low then I get weak and dizzy!!! I stick around 1600 cals a day and I am fairly active so it works for me!!!!

think of how well you have done already! Now I am biased because I live in the country and I walk alot! I walk about 9 k 2 days a week on the other days I cycle its amazing how fit you become in a very short period! Dont worry about how fast it happens it really dosnt matter,you can definately walk away the pounds but…

Throw the damn jar out!

what is bad about ice cream anyway? I dont eat fast food cos I dont like it I cook all our family food from scratch cos I like to do that I dont get this clean eating thing anyway!

How cold is it? Sorry now I realise this is ignorant but we were always lead to believe Australian winters are similar to our summers,I live in Ireland,today its about 15 c ,I know June 25th,so how cold is it?

weightloss takes time,you dont say what you need to loose.Dont cut your calories too drastically,in my experience exercise while toning and making you feel good it will not loose weight for you,its a slow journey,took time to gain weight it will take time to loose it,have patience dont kill yourself but keep going!!

To be honest I dont know how clean or not this is.Some time ago our financial situation took a nosedive and although I always liked to cook and bake I now find myself in a situation where we simply cannot afford any type of convenience food,for example my kids lunches are home made popcorn,home made flapjacks and bottles…

I was eating 1600 cals a day I work on my TDEE now that Ive lost weight Ive recalculated so I will drop to 1550 this is whether I work out loads or do nothing,I wouldnt eat less than this!

Thats awful punishment! I couldnt live knowing Id never have a bar again why not get the smallest one you can like a Freddo thats what I always do if I need a chocolate bar,funnily I just realised my taste for chocolate isint like it was I used to have a bar every day of the week now its just the odd time,your problem is…

I would always log my bicycle rides although its almost part of my daily routine I have to cycle 6 miles with 2 of them steadily uphill to get to town if I need anything the hill on the way back is even worse and Im gradually working on cycling up the whole lot but even for competitive cyclists its a difficult one and Im…

Breastfeeding will loose the weight for you anyway good diet plenty water,no need for anything else,never lost weight as easily as when I was breastfeeding!!!
