Lost 7 pounds intuitive eating so far. Been doing it for a month. Time will tell i guess. I used to not be able to have chips or chocolate in the house or this compulsive voice in my head would not let me relax until it was all gone. I now have all my favourite 'trigger' foods sat in my cupboards and it isn't an issue any…

I agree to a point. I know lots of people that can eat what they want, stop when their full and are slim, I think that is how our bodies should work. I have tried listening to my body and eating like this while tracking calories as well out of curiosity and always seem to consume around 1500kcals, which is maintenance cals…

First try, fairly impressed with the sushi considering I don't have a sushi mat : )

Frozen fruit goes amazing with yoghurt if you head mixed berries in a hot pan they reduce and release their natural sugars, let it cool down and you have a homemade compote for your yoghurt

What I meant is that they suggest if you eat 1200, they made it sound like you would have to work out to burn of 1200 on top of whatever you burn anyway during the day.

Oh dear, tht person really didn't have a clue. Their response actually made me burst out laughing. Especially when they said you have to burn as many calories as you consume to maintain.

I think you'll find once you've been doing it a bit longer you will stress less, when it becomes more of a habit. I find I don't obsess constantly like I did when I started. I get your pain with the exercise thing. My Dr told me due to my scoliosis my lung capacity isn't great. I can barely run 30 seconds until I get so…

I lost most of my 57lbs with very little exercise. Did some weights but not very consistant with exercise...I'm a lazy girl.

I'm a Southamptonite too, feel free to add me.

I definitely think it is more expensive. Everyone seems to compare it to eating out with unhealthy food. Frozen unhealthy food/microwave meals are insanely cheap. I am spending about twice as much now. Well worth it thought, feel tons better. I have expensive taste when it comes to healthy food too, All the cheap fruit and…

As long as you are not being condescending to people that don't eat as well as you then they hould be happy for you. I't can be hard to eat completely non processed foods all the time. I am encorporating change slowley and feel much better. I used to get ill all the time, colds and what not. Haven't been ill at all this…

Me and my BF are having a picnic tomorrow too. Unfortunately no suggestions for you as everything I have made had fruits/veggies and spices : ( Just make him good old sandwiches with nice meats and cheeses?

1408 and The Ring for me

I feel ya. I have been bad for the last week as was staying with my boyfriends parents which means booze and loads of amazing food. Luckily only gained 3lbs. The important thing is getting back on the saddle. It's the difference between what I have done on all previous diets and success. Whatever happens just pick yourself…

Mendez rules!!

Anyone see episode 4, it's really picked up a notch, Am loving Colin Hanks in this at the moment, and boy is Lester screwed :sad:

Yeah only two eps so far but so much happens in the 1st episode, well worth a watch.

I am!! I just love the accents, and Martin Freeman is adorable. Can't wait for next weeks

I had been dieting for years, was 14 stone 9, I have already lost 3 stone and am working to lose another 2.5 stone. Couldn't have done it without MFP, It's been amazing, so much easier than any fad diets i've tried, still eating all the foods I love just less of it. Was hard at first but it's really a habit now and it's…

True Detective all the way. Just thinking about it makes me emotional :sad:

Some people just assume it's as easy for everyone else as it is for them and that that person just lacks willpower and can't want it bad enough. Not always the case. Using willpower constantly ever hour of everyday for months or years on end can be exhausting and restricting certain things can just make cravings worse. I…

Congrats :smile: I started 205lbs, down to 168. Only 40 left to go

I have experienced them. At the time I was weighing ALL my food and stuck to my goal religiously. Three weeks later lost lots of lbs all in a few days. If you know you are being honest with yourself and have taken into account the lower calorie intake you will need after you lose more and more weight and are weighing all…

I keep getting 3 week stalls in my weight loss. before MFP I would have just decided that it is just impossible for me to lose weight sensibly and would have dropped my calorie intake to something rediculously low or just given up all together. Now I just hang in there and then I will just all of a sudden lose a couple of…

Was a 38DD, when I lost the weight last time went down to 34B. I love having smaller boobs. I think it looks cuter on me instead.

I am guilty of this. I buy the cheapest work clothes I can find and have other old clothes from a uk size 8 to 18 so I can just start wearing those again. I'm saving for a trip so I don't really care how awful I look at the moment as there is other stuff going on in my life. Will hopefully be at my goal in a year then I am…

Your before weight was mine as well and we're the same height. My goal weight is 126lbs which is pretty much what you are now. Good to see a success story from someone with similar stats. Good work!!

Thanks guys. Tried it again, managed three this time. It's strange because I tried a couple of days ago and still couldn't do a proper one. I bet it's because I had Wagamamas for dinner...it's good!!!

Fat hatred is one of last social acceptable forms of prejudice. I don't feel that the fat acceptance movement preaches for everyone to gain weight it's just about equality. So many people think because they were able to take control and lose weight that it is just as easy for everybody else and they are clearly just not as…
