  • I'm not sure what you thought would happen when you put up that post. I guess you just wanted the attention, so you got it, you don't like the attention you got, learn from it and move on.
  • You manipulated the outcome to make it fit in with your personal goals rather than just accepting that life often throws problems in our way and carrying on with the journey. You call it accountability - I call it a hell of a day just to make the numbers fit, you might as well have had your hand on the bathroom sink and…
  • Also try State of Mind, I got some very nice T-shirts and 3/4 length yoga pants - flared leg so balance the wideness of the hips a bit better! They're UK based and online.
  • I don't often snack, but thats more because I'm changing how I eat, making myself more accountable, and haven't got to the point where I need to snack, but that could also be to do with me having 1653 calories a day at the moment.
  • Enjoy it, log it, maybe add a note to your food diary so if you look back sometime in the future you know why it happened and move on. One day of eating an extra 1,000 calories won't destroy your good record, you enjoyed a family occasion, and tomorrow you get back on track.
  • I'm where you are now, diets don't work... or at least not in the long run. I was doing LCHF and denial has done nothing for me, exactly nothing - I weigh the same now as I did this time last year in spite of losing nearly 2 stone during the course of that year. Denial of a food group isn't something I can sustain long…
  • Eat slower, put your knife & fork down between each mouthful, make each meal last at least 20 minutes to give the "I've had sufficient" message to reach your brain. It isn't about feeling full, if you eat until you're full then you're probably eating too much, try to learn the difference being having sufficient and being…
  • This^^ I'm not on "a diet" because for me diet equals what I normally do, its not about deprivation, rigid rules or feeling that I can't have or I've cheated. Therefore if I choose to have something a bit extra then I can do so, but equally I may choose not to. I don't need a diet break because I'm not on a diet, all I've…
  • I'm not that good at measuring as it tends to be what I have handy so I just keep a note when I make them and add as I go but I use: Fage plain yogurt (blue label so its full fat) a little milk to loosen it up whole rolled oats Meridian crunchy nut butter Mix the above together, then layer into little jars with sprinkles…
  • I'm in Berkshire, 8 stone to lose, a restarter on MFP but eating this way since January this year, feel free to add!
  • Weight loss should be taken with a very large pinch of salt! Its a useful tool to have in the background but there are a lot more factors involved - I stopped eating sugar and white carbs back in January of this year - I've lost 12lb since I changed my way of eating but I've also dropped 2 dress sizes, this tells me that I…
  • I do believe that a lot of those who claim to be psychics are fakes and are preying on people's desperate desire to find out positive things, however saying that I saw a psychic 35 years ago on a sidewalk in San Francisco, I was on holiday with a group of other people and was killing time before the meet up time. This guy…
  • Can't see your diary, so no idea what you've been eating in the last month - half a stone = 7lb for those who aren't aware (although most are I know). So you're cutting out the sugar but still eating fatty takeaways? Of course, you do know exactly what is in those takeaways, how much sugar etc? Probably means that you're…
  • Is it a branded meat pie? or a fresh one from a shop? Its a bit of guesswork involved, but pastry top and bottom or just top? Have a look inside and see how much meat there is and then look for something that fits in with what you've found. There is something called a Sargeants meat pie in the food list, however it is 436…
  • No, up until Friday morning everything was ok-ish - for those who don't like thinking about injuries then don't read - I have a recurring ulcer on my ankle - quick version of the background is that I broke my ankle 9 years ago, had metalwork on both sides of the ankle and a year later had it all taken out again, they went…
  • Thank you for your suggestions, I'll look into trying these, Made me laugh out loud with this :D sorry if it wasn't meant to be funny though. I was wondering whether to make some smoothies as perhaps a drink would be easier to deal with at times than food, but I'll think about that one as I don't want to buy anything that…
  • Wouldn't it be better to set a higher per week weight loss than make your activity sedentary when it should be light intensity etc. I thought I was sedentary but actually I'm light intensity as I'm bobbing up and down like a yo yo part of the day plus walk the dogs although I do have periods of sitting for a couple of…
  • you don't, but then your house is repossessed because you didn't pay the mortgage I wish I didn't have to walk the dogs on rainy days
  • I have to say that I'm not sure what the problem is, you have something you like to eat as a dessert, you have the calories and so you eat it. Ignoring your cravings is worse than giving in and eating them in a controlled way.
  • 136 pounds for me, if I say it fast with my eyes shut it doesn't look too bad.. seriously though, I'm in it for the long haul taking it slow and steady, feel free to add me if you want, I'm just going down the list and adding everybody!
  • Add me in, I'm in the UK as well, need to have fun or die of boredom! Love MFP, where else can you talk about food, exercise and all those other things without people's eyes glazing over and being labelled as a diet bore! :D
  • Log everything that passes your lips, don't panic wildly when you get it wrong or eat without thinking, by logging you'll see where you went wrong and can make the changes necessary. This isn't something that you'll magically get right from the very beginning, so don't beat yourself up about it, look upon it as learning a…
  • Having some friends on here is helping me a lot this time round, because like you I also go great for a few days then eat something I shouldn't, don't log it, and then the slippery slope is underway and by the time I get off it I'm back to where I started plus those pounds brought along a few of their friends to join the…
  • I get them periodically, usually stress related and often from just plain doing too many things at once, worst one was after my Dad died, I spent 4 days with my Mum straight after and was fine, but the moment I got home the migraine hit with full force - was told by the doctor that it was because I'd been strong for my mum…
  • When I was in my 20s my grandmother told me that my mother (her daughter) was a controller - like I didn't know already! The way to stop most of the rows that went on with my mother trying to control my life was to agree with what she said and then just do my own thing when I wasn't with her. Very sound advice, my mum has…
  • This ^^ Its not a cheat or a treat, its about making the foods you want to eat fit in with the numbers you have. Don't let peer pressure make you eat things you would rather not, no one can make you eat anything and I'd think poorly about friends who pile on the pressure if you have decided not to have what they're having.…
