Not all young people are lazy, it's a shame some of the older generations are so quick to generalise. Attitudes like this are not helpful to anyone. I'm a young person, and until recently I was unemployed. That doesn't make me lazy - it makes me a university graduate!

MyFitnessPal have reduced my calories a few times now (started off on 1600 and now I'm down to 1460) but they only did it by about 40 cals each time - so I found it pretty easy to adjust. It's up to you though I guess, if you are losing weight and happy with the results you are getting then don't change a thing! :)

The way I do it is log EVERYTHING, even if you overindulge! Its not nice seeing a big red number telling you you've been a fatty! I find it to be good motivation not to overeat - although there is no harm in having a little indulgence in your life - I've lost over 50 lbs so far and I still have a bit of chocolate or a pie…

Tea is essential to life. I drink it without milk or sugar (occasionally I like a bit of honey - or maybe a slice of lemon). My favourite teas at the moment are vanilla rooibos and china rose petal!

a bit of vinegar and cucumber for me :)

I bought a new shirt for a job interview, and a new pair of jeans :) The shirt was a 16 inch collar size (6 months ago I wore an 18 in) and the jeans were 34 inch waist (6 months ago I was in 38 in) So I'm feeling awesome! :D

:D well done!

avoiding processed food is probably a good thing - I haven't really bought into the whole organic foods thing though, if you have money to burn I guess going completely 'clean' may be an interesting experiment.

I'll give it a go :)

you are AWESOME!! well done - keep it up and you'll soon lose that last few pounds! :D

Lily and Arthur :)

Well done you!! That's fantastic!!!!! :D

I joined the gym a week yesterday and I still feel like everyone is watching me. I'm just ignoring it and thinking that we're all there to work out, so what if I'm the largest person in there?! (also this isn't always the case, people of all shapes and sizes go to the gym). Also, you'll probably find that the people you…

yep, this is the way to go - life without chocolate is not worth living! :p

My ex-bf used to be like this - you certainly aren't alone. He went to see someone professional about it and it took time but he's much better now than he used to be! Don't worry, and don't let it make you feel isolated - there is always someone you can find to help! :)

wow, well done!

The thought of Christmas has been worrying me too - but I like the idea of attempting to meet a maintenance calorie goal rather than a weight loss one, should make the holidays a little less depressing! :D

'Why Calorie Counts Are All Wrong' - this sounds like a title made up by someone who only want's to sell. Fair enough calorie counts are 'are based on a system of averages' but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone is different, and as such it is to be expected that each individual will digest their food with…

The silliest diet I've done was a 'Soup Diet' where I basically had to eat vegetable soup for breakfast lunch and dinner over a period of 2 weeks, 1 rest week, then back on the Soup Torture for another 2 - repeat till skinny!! I lost 1.5 stone (21lbs) but I still to this day can't face vegetable soup and as soon as I…

Towcester - England :)

Well done you!! :D Keep up the good work and you'll ace those last 33 lbs!!

Final Fantasy VII Final Fantasy IX Final Fantasy X Pokemon Gold Kingdom Hearts Skyrim :D

mess up

banana, would you rather have arms made of cheese (do not grow back if you get peckish) or a constant trickle of strawberry jam coming from your ears?

mmmm!

I guess it's like having a cup of tea (no milk/sugar) - having something warm in my stomach can help with the hunger! [hot water with a slice of lemon can help too]

Well done! this is amazing - I still have a lot of weight to lose and sometimes I worry about what it's going to be like after I've lost it all. You're an inspiration!! :D

well done! you're looking really good! :D

:D wonderful, well done!

Marvelous! Well done!!! True inspiration - and a great story! :D
