  • I've used green coffee bean extract and raspberry ketone supplements they don't work, well I should say they didn't work for me, I fall for all the diet adverts and still don't learn my lesson, currently rubbing loreal toning cream on myself for all I know it could be lard I'm rubbing in. :smile:
  • I've long hair nearly hip,length, I wash clip it up, plaits or bun, air dry. Use dry shampoo, just rinse and go if your hair is sweaty. This heat plus excercise makes me want to cut my hair as putting it up all the time can give me a headache. Resisting them scissors as well as my obsession with chocolate :smile:
  • Metcalfe skinny popcorn = 108 calories But I then ruin it by having 3 scoops of Ben and Jerrys :smile:
  • This may or may not help as I've never had to suffer insults shouted at me, btw there are some really rude, verbally aggressive and ignorant people out there and I can't imagine how this make you feel and the effect it has on you :( what about if it is safe to do so, use your phone put on some music and plug your…
  • I'm not an expert but do you think you may be pushing yourself too hard, you will lose weight and I know no amount of people saying you don't need to lose will change your mind, maybe you could talk to someone who can give you some guidance with your exercising and nutrition because you should be eating most of your…
  • They've noticed, if they are any kind of friend they will tell you how fab you look without having to fish for compliments
  • I'm the same as bikinifitbyjuly I exercise to eat, I panic if by 3pm I've only got 500 calories, I then have to do a couple of miles walk to get the extra calories so I know that I can eat chocolate
  • I don't think I've got the right noodles, I was thinking when I read the post the noodles were slim noodles or zero calorie noodles. Apologies:embarassed:
  • I made a cheese omelette with them, it was tasty I can't remember where I got the recipe but if you google it you will find it. Warning though although tasty I didn't like the look as they reminded me of something every time I cut the omelette. For tasty I would go with yes for appealing ummm no. :)
  • Open but warning: not the healthiest food choices as I love sweet stuff
  • I found that sometimes your body has to get used to a new regime, but make sure you have put in every thing correctly, such as lifestyle, mine is sedentary basically for work I walk to the back of the garden to a studio, sit down and pick the phone up. Eat most of your exercise calories back as mfp puts you in a deficit of…
  • This may be of no help but as I am having a shrinking violet wrap tomorrow ( I know what others may say eg water weight ) google it and have a look. I wonder if some sort of contour wrap would benefit x
  • Yes I have anxiety and meds do affect weight, I can't remember the name of the meds but my friend was on them also. My GP warned me they may put on weight, when they kicked in I couldn't stop eating, at work I'd go to sainsburys at lunch and eat 16 barbecue chicken wings still wasn't satisfied craved sweet stuff big time,…
  • Inspiration bump thank you :flowerforyou:
  • I'm not an expert and I don't understand how this works because in my head I'm thinking eat less excercise more = weight loss. So was amazed at eating and losing weight but I walk a lot. I plateaued for about 2 months and I got some really good advice I upped my calories by a hundred a day to 1300 had a massive eat feast…
  • I couldn't ride my bike at the beginning of my journey and felt really embarrassed going swimming, I now wear those cossies with a skirt feel loads better although some people must think "why she wearing a dress to swim in lol" but my best excercise is walking I started off with half a mile now I do on average 5 miles a…
  • I felt awful also reading some of the posts because you are reaching out for support and help. A few years ago something simalar was going on for me, what I found helped was I just gave up asking him to come out, if he would complain then I would just make the right noises you know " aww I know, poor you must be awful…
  • Bump Nutella brownies
  • I love tattoos, have a few my bf hates tattoos and he is so opposite of me that I wouldn't want him to have any or piercings because I love him just the way he is. For tattoos and piercings gone wrong have a look at awful body modifications, that may make some think twice before having any tatts or piercings and as for the…
    in Tattoos? Comment by tarotlou August 2013
  • Skinny cow caramel shortcake ice cream they come in a box of three at 94 cals each and I always save enough cals because I can't just eat one, I have to eat the box, I am a massive late night eater, I use to wake up at 3 am and scoff a packet of Jaffa cakes!! I love sweet unhealthy stuff, put a snickers or rice cakes in…
  • Omg well done, It's surprising how we concentrate on weight and forget the inches, you've done so well and as for crying eating, trying to lose weight, change lifestyle has a huge emotional impact, I've stopped weighing myself everyday because I was sick of how a pound gained would effect my mood for the day, my partner…
  • I had one last year and I will be honest I blamed some of my weight gain on the procedure not the fact the Olympics were on and I was eating a tub of strawberry carte d'or every night. It's strange I came across this post because I'm sure you still have hormones but more progesterone as this is not a hysterectomy ( if…
  • Awsome post need to keep reminding myself, as its hard to get my head around upping cals = weight loss after plateauing for a month on 1200 I upped to 1300 and gained the first week then someone gave me a similar explanation about water and glycogen and to weight a couple of weeks while the body adjusts :smile:
  • Hey David that is awsome thank you for the advice and link I shall be rereading your post again as it takes a while sometimes to sink in. I don't do Facebook but thanks for invite. I will definitely pm you if I have any questions because your weight loss is inspiring so I think you know what your doing. Thanks again for…
  • When you eat at a deficit for a while, you burn through your glycogen stores. Glycogen is bonded to water, so the water drops off too. This is the early water weight loss everyone sees in their first week or two. When you up your calories again, you replenish some of your glycogen and water gets retained. This results in…
