Take at least 5500 steps 4. Stay focused and have fun I also done a quick session on the wii steps. And I'm becoming the house champion of…

Hi OP, I’ve been rethinking my food and I just can’t justify the calories in bought fast food. A lot of it is junk food but there is also healthy fast food. I’m struggling with not being able to weigh food so it’s rare I eat anything prepared by anyone else. So there I am, now having to cook mainly from scratch as I can…

Hi everyone, I haven't been about much but I've still been making mental goals. And missing them :smile: I'm back on it now and I'm determined to stay on it. I've put 2lb on since my last post and I know it's because I've hardly done any of my exercises and I didn't hit step target for every day either. I'm not blaming the…

I do. That was me before I decided to stop killing myself with food :smiley:

I've been making egg muffins - not sure of their real name but that works for me. 1 egg per muffin Any ingredients you like with egg. I have tomato, onion, cheese etc. My surprise faves are grated courgette & carrott (I know!) Mix together and pour in a greased (1 spray of oil/drip of coconut oil - whatever you prefer)…

I've been looking for somewhere to record my weight in a graph format. Thanks :smile:

Hi Sizco30 As others have said, there are a lot of empty calories in alcohol with very few benefits (other than getting pished :smiley:) and these can add up scarily quickly. Then there's the extra calories you consume whilst drinking or the next day, with the potential for less activity etc. The liver is responsible for…

Hi everyone Happy Monday and hopefully a nice start to a nice week. I've read all the posts since Friday. I hope you all had a nice Mother's Day and hugs if it wasn't the way you wanted. @Faebert OMG at police and their dog in your house. I would've been panicking. Glad the kids didn't wake up as they might've been scared.…

JFT 09/05/2019 Friday 1. I’ll come back here in the evening 2. Log everything and be under calorie goal 3. Take at least 5500 steps 4. Make time to be mindful for me I’ve lost 2lb so I’m very happy with that. @snowflake1968 happy for you and your husband. Hard work pays off and it’s nice to have good things go your way.…

Could also be that they see you most days and they can’t notice the difference. What about people who haven’t seen you since January? Regardless of them noticing, you know and are proud of yourself. Maybe show them a pre January pic (in general conversation) and see if they notice. Even celebrate your 20lb loss and mention…

Good luck @Snowflake1968

JFT 09/05/19 Thursday 1. I’ll come back here in the evening 2. Log everything and be under calorie goal 3. Take at least 5500 steps 4. Make time to be mindful for me No idea where my last post is.

@sijomial I read you so I just checked and I got a woo for saying I fast too :smiley: narsed @glitzy467xx I'm fasting today so I thought I'd let you know how I stay under 500 cals. I drink water for most of the day - occasionally I'd start out with a Boost or Immune tea but as they're only 1 cal I don't sweat it. I don't…

You're very welcome. I've had lots of sleepless nights beating myself up and it's not a pretty sight. I hate hate those times. I love this group, it's so good to see the honesty and with absolutely no judging.

Hi Angelique, I want to second everything @korina75 said. You've already done the hardest step - realising what's happening and wanting to do something about it. And coming here to reach out was a very smart move. Be nice to yourself and you have to put the last few weeks behind you and move on cos your time machine isn't…

I wear a Fitbit blaze that’s at least 2 years old and I love it. Yeah it counts my steps but I also know my average resting heart rate has reduced from 85 to 72 in the last 30 days. I can see messages, emails, notifications and calls synced from my phone. I’ve set daily goals for various things and they definitely motivate…

You’re welcome @glitzy467xx

I lost 3 stone on 5:2 a couple of years and I found it relatively easy. It’s exercising and stopping the weight gain I struggle with so I’m back on it these last few weeks and I’m determined to stick to it. Check out YouTube and you’ll see lots of guidance on how to fast correctly. There’s also groups here that will help a…

Hi everyone, I’m back to it today after having the laziest day ever. I didn’t eat too much though and that’s a massive difference from the 1st 2 weeks in April. I would’ve hoovered up the fridge 🍕🍟🍔🍰 now I’m all 🍎🍐🍉🥗🥑😀 I’ve seen a few posts about husbands and marriage etc. I feel or have felt everything I’m reading here.…

Hi OP, lots of great ideas and I’m sure you’ll know which might help your scenario. Another could be - you join a gym, a running club, meet with friends, go walking or anything to be active a few evenings a week. You get to burn calories and stave off the temptation to eat pointless calories and he’s already at home to…

Well we didn’t win 😩😩 They get to come to Anfield next week so the atmosphere will be amazing. Even if we get beat again, if it’s anything like last night we’ll see the best football skills in the world. I logged my food then completed my diary so I didn’t have any nibbles. I was working on the basis that I couldn’t have…

I’ve learnt so much from the community and I’ve asked my fair share of questions. But ... I’ve massively misunderstood the woo button. I’ve been woo’ing posts all over the place cos I thought it meant wooooo as in yay or even wooohooo 🥳. Now I know it’s probably not a cheerleading move. In my head it’s now called the boo…

I’ve only been here a few days but wanted to say what a fab bunch of people! So motivating and inspirational. For the ones having the worst of times, please keep coming back often and talking. I don’t feel I know anyone enough yet to comment, other than stay strong and for anything you can control, you can win. Each and…
