Semolina Pudding, made thick with milk. Love it set with fruit compote, defrosted berry fruits or canned/bottled red fruit (cherries.strawberries etc),

I would think what I do with them would be similar but lower calorei option, to appeal to my sweet tooth is slice them and put in microwave for a minute or until soft and then put them in a wholewheat toasted pitta. So no extra calories beyodn the banana and pitta. I also make Banana Milkshakles usign skimmed (low fat)…

All I can say is wow!!

This except I check my weight every few days.

cups spoons etc will never give you an accurate measure (theya re OK for cookery recipes, but not measuring food intake) as all foods weigh different. The only sure way to be accurate is to have an electronic kitchen scale, and place all the food your going to eat or cook with on it, and log. They are pretty cheap on…

Last time I reached that weight (i'm your height) everyone told me I looked unwell, and in fact I looked and felt much better at around 150, and an off the peg sizer 12 (even a 10 in some styles) even though that is overweight by BMI. I am currently at 170 and a size 14, so certainly want to loose 20 poiunds, but as I am…

Well unless your tiny a size 12 is a perfectly healthy size for an adult woman. 2kg a month is about what you'd expect to loose at being this close to/at a healthy weight. That's a pound a week or around 3500 calories per week deficit (500 cals a day) less than yoru body needs. You only get faster loss when you have a lot…

Babies in the womb are basically parasitic, as long as yoru diet isn't deffficint in nutrients as in none at all, it will take all it needs and leave your body short. So good nutrion, and low calories can still work, you jsut have to ensure yoru intake is nutritious, not empty calories (alcohol, sugar etc) this includes…

Bit harsh

A sliced banana, and sliced apple, nuked (microwaved) until soft, topped with Fat free Fromage Frais. Or Banana cooked with my porridge for sweetness.

Exactly this: WW covers the real issue (calories) with a layer of mystique/simplicity (depending on your view), but it all comes down to eating less fuel, than your body needs. I have lost with WW in the past, but I liked the meetings and public weighing in, which can be motivating to stay on track, or be demorolising…

Why??? after all looking good is her livelihood, even if it wasn't takes work, and why should she not be proud of it.

I like food, and unfortuantely my body is not good at recognisisn how much it needs, equals more caliories in than out. Doesn't take a lot. Worked it out to about 150 excess calories a day over last 4 years to get to where I started in June. I hate calorie counting/dieting, but my appetite has never been reliable for…

Stewed apple, banana, peaches, or Apricots

You've done wonders, but be careful not to go too far. I am 5' 4' and my maximum healthy weight is 10st 5lbs, but last time I reached that weight (at age 40) I was too thin for me, and looked ill, a size (UK) 10 in most clothes. When I was a stone heavier at BMI of 28, 4 years ago (age 45), I was a UK size 12 (some clothes…

The previous poster is at 1600 to loose at their present weight, but that would be their TDEE once they reach Goal due to needing fewer caloreis when thinner. Sadly unless your very active the mythical oft quoted 2000 calorie requirement for maintenence in the modern woman (2500 for a man) is a myth. Probably the reason so…

As your hips are actualy a standard 10 inches bigger than your waist you wil not look unbalanced. If you wear tops that accentuate your bust then it will balance it out more. Actually from what I have seen the Pear shape is the most usual female shape, with the top half only getting bigger with pregnancy and lactaion. We…

Your smack bang in the healthy weight range with a BMI of 22.5. You seriously do not need to loose much if any weight. If your unhappy with your body as it is, excersise and toning are probably what you need. We do have to accept to a certain extent the basic body shape we are given, though, we can only tweak and aim to be…

Well sweetheart, you can loose weight, the mean people will still be mean. I have Yo yo'd for years, going from around 145 to 230 and tehn I get back on the wagon . Thsi time finally at 49 the extra weight is starting to affect me, very painful and stiff knees, (no joke with 6 dogs to walk and show) and I promised my son…

It takes 3500 calories deficit to loose a pound, so the variable is how many calories YOUR body uses, which is the difficult bit as I suppose they have to go on average metabolism and activity levels. I believe that BMR the calories used just to keep a woman alive (say lying in bed doing nothing) are around 1500 a day. I…

Welcome to my world, but for me it starts even before night. I had a toal binge out yesterday, as near as I cna calculate ate around 5000 calories. Now if I am very good I should be able to nullify that excess 3000 calories over the next 3 or 4 days (never mind that I should have eated another 750 less to loose) and then…
