  • That might be a genuine worry for some. My work colleague so far is the only one to have noticed I've lost weight, but she knew I was trying to get more exercise. She told me last week that my boss had asked her if I was unwell or if he should be worried that I'm stressed over something. She reassured him, but as of yet…
  • I do what works for me on a daily basis. On work days when I get up at 5.30 I'll have breakfast when I get to work at 7.30 otherwise I simply don't function properly as I can't concentrate. Weekends it can depend when I get up, but normally I'll have just a yoghurt or toast if I'm up early enough or I'll skip breakfast and…
  • Opposite for me, I love the strong flavour of Marmite so the slightly weaker tasting Vegemite is a poor substitute. As for those that complained about the ad, don't that have something better to do?
  • No right answer to this in my view, it depends on the person. I find it both enlightening and motivating to weigh every morning, I use the Libra app and love seeing the trend line going down! I only log my weight here once a week, always on Saturday morning. If it doesn't go down much, or weren't to go down, I'm not…
  • I have had odd days when I've got to my evening meal with 700 to 800 calories left. I tend to eat a lot of veggies and fruit so it is possible to eat a low amount of calories and feel full. I don't often have a meal that would pick up those amount of calories (now that I'm being careful over what a portion is) but I am…
  • 1. Realised my clothes were getting tighter and I didn't want to go up yet another size and I didn't like what I saw in the mirror 2. Only been here 55 days, but so far I found it to be really enlightening. I've never weighed my food before so I've had a number of shocks over how large my 'portions' were! I find the…
  • I'm vegan, I simply eat a lot of vegetables and fruit. I also do eat a fair bit of soya in various forms which I know some people have an issue with, but it doesn't worry me. I do eat fruit as I feel I'm already cutting a lot out of my diet, I just don't track sugar. I'm helped by the fact I have a preference for savoury…
  • I'm in the UK, London to be a bit more precise. But as I'm vegan, I'm not sure how welcome my recipe ideas would be!
  • I don't. I am not denying myself anything I would normally eat so I don't seem to feel the need. If I think I will be eating a bit more or having a glass or two of wine when out I'll factor in a bit more exercise to give some wriggle room to stay within my daily goal.
  • I tend not to bother because I drink plenty of water everyday so don't feel the need to keep an eye on it.
  • On weekdays when I'm working I take my breakfast and lunch in with me so I log those the evening before. That allows me to check I've evened out my allotted calories throughout the day and also how much I have left for dinner. It gives me a guide as to how much exercise I need to get during the day as well. Weekends and…
  • I'm 4'11'' and I'm currently 145. My goal weight is set at 112 but I think that is likely to be rather too much to expect. I think I'll know the right weight when I look in the mirror and see it rather than read a scale.
