I swich between SW and counting calories. I get better resalts and more freedom with counting callories. But I sometimes I need a beak from counting callories, so I just do SW for a few weeks. Then I go back to counting callories. It works for me.

I alternate between counting callories and slimming world.The reason why I swap between the two is sometimes I find counting calories emotionally taxing, I get anxiety and sometimes life gets on top of me. When I'm very anxious diets are another worry so I swich to slimming world when I want to take the pressure off. I…

I struggle with my husband sometimes. We both have different relationships with food. He lives to eat and can eat alot with out gaining weight. Where as I'm not really that botherd unless I'm hungry. However I do like my craft ale (which is probaly why I'm here). Sometimes he wants a take away or to eat out. Sometimes I'm…

Slim fast? Why do people fall for these slimming products? I don't recommend Slim fast at all OP. It's a quick fix. Make life stile changes to loose weight and keep it off.

You would need to syn the parmesan. I don't know the syns from the top of my head. You can have up to 15 syns a day, your still ok if you have some syns left.

I just use myfitnesspal for my food diary, but I don't count callories. Just follow SW plan. The SW app is really bad.

I agree, slim fast works but it's just a quick fix. People need to make long term life stile changes for the weight to come off and stay off. I wouldn't recommend slim fast to anyone.

Pizza is okay in moderation. Eating 800 callories a day is not okay. Please reconsider changing your callorie allowance for the day. I would be so hungry and grumpy on 800.

I couldn't do 1200. I would be grumpy too. I don't know how people do it. I'm 5"1 and 152lbs and lose consistently on 1800 with exersise calories on top of that.

I'm 5"1 152lbs, I eat 1800 plus exersise callories if I want it. I lose about 1lbs to 0.5lbs a week. I have about a stone to loose.

Sometimes yes. When people bring cake to work and I don't want any. I say that's very kind but I'm trying to cut back. Most people are okay, some look at me if I'm some kind of a weirdo. One time we had a sales rep come to work and he brought sandwiches and cake in. When there is free food at my work place people go a bit…

I quite enjoy porridge mostly made with water with a dash of milk and some fruit. It fills me up and it's about 250 calories.On the weekend when I get a bit more time I make a omelette with lots of veggies in and a little bit of bread on the side for about 450 calories. Both are very filling for me and I don't always want…

I had my wisdom teeth taken out under general anaesthetic 2 years ago. I remember eating alot of yogurt, soup and mashed potato. lol

I guess the best I can. It's tough though I don't like being accurate.

I love craft beer. I exercise a fair bit to accommodate my beer drinking. I also have a stressful job which doesn't help. What works for me is exersise before I drink my beer in the evening. For some odd reason I find I feel the effects of alcahol more after exercise than if I was to drink without exersise.

Walking is good, so is cycling if you own a bike.

Well done :) that's quite a transformation.

I find my charge HR fairly accurate. I have successfully lost weight eating back most of my exercise calories. If im not hungry I won't eat all my calories back, but if im having a day when I am hungry I will eat them all. I veiw it mostly as a weight loss tool, it gives me a rough idea how many calories I burn. I don't…

It depends on what I plan to do during the day. Usually on a day I go to work I have a 200 cal breakfast. Sometimes on a day off I have a 500 - 600 calorie breakfast but only have a small snack for lunch.

Good idea. I will try that next time. :-) Thanks for the replies people I appreciate it. I have been using myfitness pal for a while and I go by a weekly deficit. Generally I feel fine most of the time. But I felt that hungry I could have eaten my own arm off this weekend. I had a large loss this week, so I don't know if…

Thanks for the responses. I appreciate the support, nobody I know counts calories or uses myfitness pal. So they just don't get it. It really just messes with my head seeing my diary in red on the weekends despite my best efforts. I am quite hard on my self. I will try switching to maintance on the weekend to see if that…

Exercise makes me feel better and it helps me sleep better and bring my stress levels down. It also makes me feel more confident with my apererence. Im a very keen fencer I train hard to get good results. I like winning so I train hard so I can win more frequently. Finding a sport you are passionate about really does help.

Yes same here. I can't sit around on a Saturday night with a few beers playing Halo. Unless I have exersized enough during the day to earn it or carry over some calories from the day before.

Yes I think a heart rate monitor is probably worth getting. Before I got a HRM I was logging insanity as 500 cals. When on avaverage I only burn about 300 cals per work out. Im only small so my calorie burns are fairly low.

I wear a heart rate monitor when I do insanity. Not sure how accurate my burns are but I am loosing so it can't be that far off. :-)

Thanks for the advice guy's. Much appreciated. :-)

That's really rude. From experience people say things like that when they are unable to sick to a diet or even commit to a exercise programme them selves.

Subway. I worked for McDonald's when I was a student. I won't eat there now lol. Honestly just go with what you really fancy. :-)

Im playing Dragon age inquisition on xbox one at the moment and magic 2015. Enjoying borderlands 2 on 360.

Im Rachel, 34 female. I work in a microbiology laboratory in a hospital. I have 10lbs to lose. I was 3 stone heaver 4 years ago but lost it (not using MFP). I love horse riding and fencing as well as gaming. Although I don't get time to game as much these days. I played wow since launch (on and off) and played final…
