Im looking to lose 20lbs. Im a daily logger and I love exercise so I can motivate myself and others!

I buy a whole chicken, and soup packs. Normally all costing under £5. And with that I will make a lot of lentil soup and chicken and rice soup. Then with the meat from the chicken, i can normally make 3 meals combined with beans and vegetables I already have in my pantry or freezer. Last night I had the best chicken…

You dont need to to exercise to lose weight, you need to eat at a calorie deficit to lose weight. I work out 5-6 days a week (I love it, Im in the habit and cant NOT do it now! But that took a full year of forcing myself to do it before it became a habit) I started slowly gaining weight 2 years ago and Ive gained 10lbs a…

ive heard it working for people - personally cant stand it - i dont like to be hungry and this made me so hungry, I binged. I just eat at a calorie deficit every day and make sure I dont get too hungry

I love the gym. I have a programme that is for people who dont have alot of time. My workouts last no longer than an hour and I work my *kitten* off in that time - there is never time to be bored. Maybe change your programme, do hiit on the treadmill rather than steady state - that really makes the time go faster

you need snack size chocolate - like for kids

Ive found motivation comes from within, however we all have those low moments. I realised I gained half my weight back on boxing day. I decided to start my diet the next day and what I did is (cheesy I know but it works) I made a video talking to myself, reminding myself just how crappy i felt on that day, so the next time…

I lost 27kgs in 2013, my lowest weight was 71kg, i now weigh 82 after becoming complacent. Im back on it now. feel free to add

hard boiled eggs? I usually boil up a few the night before and take them to work and put them in the fridge. When i get hungry, I just eat one of them. Full of protein and only about 80 calories.

You can make so many meals and freeze them. I buy those foil containers with the cardboard lid (like a takeaway) and one of them holds one portion. Just cook the meal like you normally would then portion it out, wait til it cools then put in the freezer. Things like: Chicken curry Casserole Chilli Soup fajitas (all you…

14lbs isnt all that realistic, sorry. Of course it depends on how overweight you are. your diet seems fine, i would exercise a little more - like 4 times a week and incorporate strength training rather than just cardio. Good luck

I pay £20 at a reduced rate through a local mums website. I like my gym, its basic and quiet when I go (after 7pm usually) It has a steam room and sauna. I do like it but the opening hours really grate on me Mon 9-9.30, tues-friday 0730-9.30, sat-sun 9-6. Its really inconvenient for me but its the second closest gym to me…

I am eating at a deficit now, I fell off the wagon a bit - in terms of food. I still ran all the time. I just felt like it wasnt doing anything for me anymore. Im not entirely new to lifting, I have been lifting maybe once a week (which is not enough, I know!) My ultimate goal is to drop fat and get leaner. Weight doesnt…

I have been having 3 cheat days a week where I don't count calories and I gain ALL the weight I lost ( the previous 4 days) back everytime. Has anyone else has this happen? How many days a week have you found that you can go off myfitnesspal and still lose weight in the long run? So this happens everytime? and you didnt…

hey! Feel free to add me. I lost about 40lbs after I had my little one. I also struggle with late night eating - its something to do with your hands isnt it!! I gained a little weight after I got to my ideal weight and got complacent! Im now trying to lose about 15 lbs to get back there.

Dont be angry at the people on here who 1200 is too few calories - they are correct. Some of us have been here years and alot of us have done what you are doing now. Ive eaten at 1200 calories and I can do it for a couple of weeks until i get so hungry that i have a binge day, thats why people saying eat more daily to…

cosplay is a mix of 2 words: costume and play. Its basically people dressing up as their favourite movie, tv, game characters. Check out google.

thanks for this. Ive never ordered anything as although Im relatively thin, i dont have a flat stomach to show off and figured their clothes would never look good on me

Thanks so much for all your responses. What I'll do is analyse his food intake and see if he's getting enough protein and calories

I think you can educate yourself on how to eat without spending all that money. the internet is a fantastic tool that is full of information that you can use to educate yourself. And if you are ever unsure, you can come to these forums and ask questions. Dont waste your money - spend your time and effort and put the work…

like everyone else said, keep doing what you are doin - it didnt all go on in 3 weeks so it wont come off in 3 weeks. Just eat at a deficit, get some protein, get some exercise and some sleep and relax. it will come off

i make salads - i make the same salad for 10am and for 3pm. Its lettuce, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes and a balsamic dressing. Each salad is only about 120 calories and it takes me ages to eat it so i feel like ive had a meal but its light enough that im ready for my lunch by 12.30 and my dinner at 6pm. Of course, I dont…

rice is cheap, pasta is cheap. you could make curries, bolognese - when i make mine, they are about 550 calories per portion. frozen veggies are the way to go - i always have them and i make a big pot of homemade soup every week for my lunches with chickpeas and broth in it so its filling. You just have to educate yourself…

Monday and Friday I go to the gym and lift weights (full body) for 60 minutes. I run the rest of the week

@littlemisspear that is an astounding amount of weight that you lost. Well done and i hope you get your surgery soon

Im getting my diet on track - I aim for 40% carbs, 30% fat and 30% protein - im struggling to get that much protein and the vegetables I eat tend to bump up the carbs so im normally sitting at 50/30/20

you are totally not eating enough - you seriously need to be eating AT LEAST 1200 calories a day - im going to assume you used to eat alot more than this before you decided to start on your weight loss journey - so you went from eating too much to starving yourself. This is completely non sustainable and you will, at some…

why dont you just make a burger and fries? make the burger with lean mince beef and use oven fries. Whenever I crave food like that, I always make it myself, i learned how to make pizza and burgers. But I also found the more good food i eat, the more i crave until i cant remember the last time i had mcdonalds. Its a great…

You managed to read 3 books? I didnt even finish the first! well done for persevering!!

id rather watch porn - better storylines
