macchiato at a proper coffee shop. probably water at somewhere like starbucks as they seem to want to put syrup in everything?!

i threw out a lot of clothes when i moved house recently but kept all of my favourite jeans, hoping that one day i WILL fit into them comfortably. i thought i was crazy so reading this has made me smile and have hope that i can do it :flowerforyou:

you could skip the primo course altogether. pasta is not traditionally the ',main course' so maybe just have starter and second course which is usually meat or fish?

it really has shocked me - but in a good way if that makes any sense :smile:

i can't eat as soon as i get up. i need to have been awake a good couple of hours. maybe have your 'breakfast' later during the morning and you'll be less hungry by lunchtime.

plain soya yoghurt with oats sprinkled over it.

me. very frustrating but i'll get there - eventually :)

midlands based. only started 3 weeks ago and struggling :(

i was devastated when i found out my son had been smoking. how hypocritical of me! i have not had a cigarette in over 4 months and i'm putting the money aside for a holiday. no matter what anyone else says, you can quit - but only when you are ready and decide that tobacco can no longer control your life.

i've only been on here a couple of weeks but all days except one i have been slightly under 1200. i do feel hungry now but that may be because i've been searching for something to eat!! i'm not able to exercise a lot (CFS and fibromyalgia) so my exercise is usually yoga based.

i'm teetotal :)

the reason i asked is that it would make the figure for fat over on my daily intake. does that not really matter?

yes, i did buy some flaked almonds - they'll do. thank you :) (aren't they really high in fat though?)

1146 (target 1200)

CFS and fibromyalgia here. i used to do a lot of yoga and i'm trying to get back into it - gently. i tried brisk walks but felt like i had been run over by a bus for days afterwards.

hello :) i have chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. i used to do a lot of yoga which i'm trying to get back into but owwww everything hurts at the moment!! i'm new here and would like to lose around 40lb (but i 'd be happy with 30 something and less wobbly bits!!). add me if you like :)

i've never eaten a mcdonalds, or kfc. subway or pizza places are my weakness......

hello :) just saw your post. i have CFS and haven't been doing too well of late (house move almost finished me off). i'm actually just off to bed for a couple of hours now so that i can continue with the day later. add me if you like :)

i've been here a week. UK and over 40 too. add me if you like :)

^^^^ this :) i last had a cigarette in march. do it - you'll never look back :)

love it :) cheers

thank you for explaining this to me :) at least that 1 lb is a step closer to losing 43 lb overall :)

thank you, very helpful and encouraging. i'm also a vegetarian - an a carb addict. well, i USED to be a carb addict. as from last week, carbs are now just a part of my way of eating. i actually want to lose 43lb though, not 30 - or is 43 too much for my height and age? i think i long for the body i had before chronic…

i have entered my height and weight on there with little exercise and it gives me a TDEE of 2068 - i'm confused!!

will start the measuring too - and maybe find out those jeans i would like to get back into (one day!!). thank you :)

thank you :) yes, i have very little energy at times, even for day to day mundane tasks like personal care and house chores. i have to be careful i don't overdo things or it can put me in bed for days.

can water fluctuate by that much weight?!! no wonder i feel huge some mornings and much trimmer later in the day.

thank you. i've ordered some digital scales, just waiting for delivery (the ones i have aren't very accurate - cheapy ones).

thank you :) i apologise for my impatient post - i posted a couple of days ago simply asking for help with numbers as tdee etc is all new to me. however, no one replied - maybe the post was not brash enough? :)

yep - the rocket may help ..... i also have a condition called diabetes insipidus where my body does not retain water (caused by a pituitary tumor) so i have to take medication for this. it difficult for me to get dehydration - hydration - waterlogged balance at all times and i suppose weighing myself in a morning is not a…
