It is possible. I haven't been for a run in 3 months and I'm losing really easily doing 5:2, so I only count calories (500) twice a week. The other days I don't and it till works :)

Everything went into the recycling bin. They sort out what can be donated and what not.

1550 for 5 days now that I want to lose weight, I'll probably bump it up to 1800/2000 when I get to 62 kg.

Not at all. But I enjoy it, it gives me my little evening chuckle.

Christ on a bike! Seriarse? Just get over yourselves. Public forum. I insulted nobody. I am allowed to say this is a club I probably won't ever be part of. This statement really shouldn't have such a deep impact on you guys. Starting a thread doesn't mean you get to dictate what's posted on it. I'd never want to piss all…

You don't really need to add calories during the first and second trimester. In the third trimester you might want to add 200-300 cals a day. Healthy choices matter a lot more than calorie intake (although going too high or too low WILL have adverse effects on your health and your baby's). Source: midwife.

Disclaimer: I don't particularly agree with the short term malarky, but I get how in your situation it's what you need now. As others have said: - eliminate added salt, don't go for salty foods - nothing processed - drink loads of green tea (unsweetened) - few carbs and mostly wholegrain - go nuts with fresh vegetables and…

Oui Sergeant! Jeez :indifferent:

What makes you so sure I don't? I used to weigh 53 kg (15 less than now) and used to compete in show jumping. They were still there. Saddlebags and fatty knees. I don't hate my body. I just don't love my thighs. Is that ok with you?

Two things I hate about my thighs: - saddlebags - fat knees No. I will never LOVE my thighs. That's one club I'll never enter.

Weigh your own portion before cooking (if cooking pasta for others as well) then cook it in a separate smaller saucepan.

No more love handles, saddlebags almost gone, skin a lot smoother (?!), but probably the first thing was a flat tummy in the morning :)

Always first thing in the morning, after you peed and possibly after number two, before drinking or eating anything. And always naked, I never get those weight loss tv shows where they do their weigh ins fully dressed, they don't even take their shoes off!! I do it every day so I can catch a possible negative trend sooner…

If we want to talk pints it would be 4 pints a day, or 8 half pint glasses.

It's very difficult to lose weight while on any form of progesterone, that's the reason why women lose less (if at all) during the second part of their cycle, after ovulation occurs progesterone peaks...

1200 is the only way for me to loose anything! 1600 I maintain, anything over that and I gain. Where I come from most dieticians and nutritionists advise for a 1200 diet (for women, 1400 for men) after a bioimpendance analysis. But if you see you can eat more and still loose, then I'd do that of course.

I must have gargantuesque teaspoons then because I own a teaspoon and I have nutella and when I weigh the amount (which I always do), it' 18-19 g of the magic stuff so 5.3 (cals x 1g) x 18 = 95.4 How can a third of 100 be 10 to 15 ?? Twice??

Actually a teaspoon of nutella is about 100 cals. :noway:

You own an iPhone.

You do your best and don't let it get you down. Your basic lifestyle changes, so temporary slips don't play a significant part in the big picture. And make an effort, it's very tempting to turn a bad meal into a bad day, or a bad day into a bad week... that's the biggest mistake!

Sarahg24 I'm a third year student midwife, and I do six nights a month every month (as well as six long days), don't know what your shift pattern is, but we only have 12 hour shifts so my night goes from 8 pm to 8 am. My dietician told me to work it this way: breakfast > normal lunch > cooked rather than 'picnic' snack >…

My diet (mediterranean) contemplates a serving of pasta for lunch twice a week (70-80 g), with a sensible sauce (not carbonara!). tinned tomatoes cooked in a tblsp of extra virgin olive oil, with some basil and a tblsp of parmesan for example is very balanced and satisfying. Not bad at all, as long as you don't fool…

Talking glasses is kind of approximate, you might want to mesure how many mls your standard glass at home is. You're good to go anywhere between 1.5 and 2 lt of water a day.

Hey badger, I started c25k today as well! I calculated calorie consuption downloading another app on my iphone, it's called Smart Runner and it's free. You just have to put in a some data (weight, height, age, sex etc...). Press start as you start your workout, stop when you're done, and it calculates speed, time, distance…

I need to talk and think about it to keep me focused, but boy do people get bored! And quite rightly so. That's why I come on here!

I'm 1.68 m tall, and this morning my weight is 67.2 kg. I would LOVE to get to 62 kg, but I would be ok with 63/64 and staying there forever. I could settle for that :D I hope to get there by the beginning of spring time 2012... I know it sounds a long time, but I've dieted enough in my life to know that... well, easy go =…

Nooooo, I never watch all the rest, just the calories (and I've stopped recording them every day now as well...). Really it does boil down to common sense, try to keep everything balanced, make sure you have a good source of healthy protein every day, keep the salt as low as possible, don't be silly with the fat (I stopped…

-nutella -chocolate chip cookies -white pizza I will just eat all of what is in sight.

Almonds with skin :) 18 g are 100 calories. I always carry them in a small ziplock bag, they can stay there for days, even weeks, they are clean, you can eat less if you don't feel like all of them, not messy at all. Anytime, anywhere. good source of protein and healthy fats. And fiber!
