I'm exactly the same! I've lost 60lb and know I must be smaller because I've had to get new clothes but when I look in the mirror I honestly can't see the difference. The best way I've found to stay positive is to try on my old clothes - my jeans from a year ago fall down as soon as I let go - it always reminds me that…

Definitely :) I love fruit and seed muffins for breakfast!! I make mine with wholemeal flour, yoghurt, fruit (apple purée, banana, raisons and raspberries) and poppy and sunflower seeds. Depending on the amount/type of fruit you use they can be quite high in sugar which you may need to consider when planning food for the…

Adding the Greek yoghurt is definitely better than just having grapes. You could add more/different fruits to the yoghurt plus nuts. If you're looking to add a carb to it I'd recommend shredded wheat instead of the breakfast biscuits. A serving is 164 calories, 1g fat, 5g fibre, and 0.3g of sugar so it's much healthier. If…

We have breakfast biscuits in our house and while my sister loves them I really wouldn't recommend. They're just four oat biscuits in a packet and are usually very high in sugar. I get that they might be good if you're in a rush but I can't see how they are any better for you than grabbing a handful of digestives. I'd much…

I love yoghurt for breakfast. I have 100g of natural yoghurt with strawberries, raspberries and sweetened with 1/2 tsp of honey. The whole thing is 155 calories and 2 portions of fruit. If I'm feeling savoury I go with quiche frittata - 2 eggs, 50 ml of milk, mixed herbs, ham and onion mixed then baked in the oven - it's…

Hiya, I'm 22 and from the UK. I started using MFP a year ago but was patchy in logging foods and sticking to my calorie limits. Since knuckling down I've lost 60lbs but I still have a way to go. I prefer to set short term goals and try to keep making small changes that I can stick to - I know for me this is only going to…

I think it's going to have to be chocolate for me. I'm normally ok with limiting my intake but last week was the end of term and with the staff party, dinner and presents from the children etc. it went a bit excessive!! I adore chocolate so I will allow myself one hot chocolate per day (at 20 kcal and 2g of sugar per mug…

I had strawberries, raspberries and natural yoghurt sweetened with honey - it was lush!

Hi, I'm 22 and 5'8. A year ago I was 198lbs. I'm currently 138lbs and looking to get to 120ish.

I weigh myself every 10-14 days, it'd probably be more often if I had accurate scales at home (ours underestimate by like 6lbs which was great until I realised they were just being kind lol).

My triggers are definitely chocolate and vintage Cheddar cheese - on the days I go over the reason can almost always be traced back to one or both. Nutritional goal is to decrease sugar and swap more of my simple carbs for whole grains.

Hi there, my name's Chloë. I started using MFP a year ago but was patchy in logging foods and sticking to my calorie limits. Since knuckling down I've lost over 50lbs but still have a way to go. My goal is to keep making small changes that I can stick to. I know for me this is only going to be successful if I implement a…
