Hmm. Some days I genuinely am full on less than 1200, but I will always have something extra to boost my calories, as I know it's not going to do me a bit of good to eat that little. I would never willingly under eat, there's always something tasty to be had to boost me to a safe level! For example, yesterday I had a big…

Well done!! And your niece is beautiful :smile:

Hello and welcome! I'm in the UK and I'm 25, and will gladly help with any support, I know how much difference it can make.

Celery! I've been vegetarian for 14 years and I think I would honestly rather eat a burger. Celery literally makes me gag. I think I like everything else. Oh, except tinned mandarins. Yuck.

Thank you! I have tried a cheat meal in the past and it definitely worked, so I think I will give that a go again, since I only have a few pounds to go. I don't really want to stick to 1200 for too long, as I know it's the minimum recommended. I do sometimes struggle with protein since I'm vegetarian, so maybe I can work…

Hi and welcome! I'm from Norwich, although I don't live there at the moment sadly...

Well done :smile: You look great (and so pretty!)

When I started following a healthy eating plan, I had spots break out for about 3 weeks, and I never, ever get spots normally. I think it was while my body adjusted to the change in my diet. My skin now is better than it ever was before, much brighter. Maybe you're getting something similar? I'm 25 by the way. Keep up the…

I stick to 1200, but I usually have one day every two weeks or so where I go between 1200-1500 so I can have a treat of some kind. Gives me something to look forward to without making me feel bad :smile:

Hello and welcome! Well done on the 4lb :smile:

Awww how sweet :smile:

I eat these too, they're great!

I've been following 1200 calories too, though I only have a reasonably small amount of weight to lose, and I find that it's largely about my attitude. About a year ago, I realised I was in physical pain every time my stomach was empty...for a long time I thought that everyone felt this way, then it got worse and worse so I…

I was about to say this :smile: You can walk miles around somewhere that big without really even noticing!

Lettuce of any variety Rocket Olives Apple Coleslaw (if I have the calories) Carrot Baby beetroot Strawberries

Don't be scared. If you've been working really hard, then there's a good chance that you'll be down! If you're the same or up then you know you have the strength and willpower to carry on as you have been. Either way you should be proud of yourself for working so hard and sticking with it, and really, weighing yourself…

This prompted me to go on a search, and I found this UK site which doesn't have restaurants but looks good for a lot of other foods... http://www.caloriecounting.co.uk/resources/intro.htm

I wish it had UK restaurants! Great post though, I bet this is extremely useful :smile:

Yep, it's great :smile:

I was thinking that earlier! It's quite unusual to find a place where people are so...well, nice!

I can totally understand how you feel! Especially the part about their excuses for not having lost more. I also get a lot of people saying things like "Why the hell are you on a diet? Don't be stupid", which I find extremely rude - just because my goal is reasonably small doesn't mean that I shouldn't be striving to be as…

Hello! :smile: You'll love it here, makes everything so much easier!

That's a really sweet idea :smile: How about some vegetable kebabs? Just skewer vegetables - I always do red onion, mushrooms, peppers, tomato, garlic cloves...but you can use whatever you like. Then just barbecue them on a clean part of the grill away from the meat! I suppose they're more of a side, but they're really…

Hello! It's great that you signed up, I've been here for 40 days and it's completely changed the way I eat (permanently I think!) Good luck!

Well done! Keep it up! :-)

Tonight I'm having a small jacket potato, quorn chicken style fillets and a rocket/mixed leaf, olive, apple, tomato and baby beet salad. I can't wait!

I had a low fat cheese and rocket omelette. It was lovely :)

I'm from Norwich, but currently living in Colchester. Nice to say hello to someone here :)

I'm from England, I've never actually posted before, hi everyone!
