People are mean, I learnt this when I first joined. It's okay though, because people are mean in life, they justify it by saying they are being honest but I was brought up to be polite. You can disagree with people and express that in a polite manner. My dad always taught me, if you don't have anything nice to say just…

Hi, I'm in a similar position to you, i am ~5ft 2" 145lbs and looking to lose my food belly. I have been a veggie in the past but i do eat meat now, add me and maybe we can support eachother. x

Thanks so much for this post, everyone's comments have been really helpful. I also struggle with fast food;(and alcohol) I don't have kids but work 40hrs a week in a busy office and between 10 and 30hrs in a pub kitchen (which makes it so hard no to eat pub food). Sometimes I don't have a full day off for a month. Having…

I find eating healthy expensive, but time is definately a massive factor aswell. I don't think i'm lazy as i work between 50-70hrs a week, as well as having to maintain my home. Always find it funny when people say about having a prep day on Sunday, would love to have the time to prepare meals for the whole week. But i'm…

I am somewhere between 5ft and 5ft 3 depends who you ask... Lost 11 lbs to date and 26 still to go. Add me we can support each other

I am not judging anyone, 'those who can do, those who can't teach' that can be very appropriate, I don't doubt that some people that are overweight have extensive knowledge when it comes to losing weight and some go on to living a healthy lifestyle which is the aim for us all. I apologise i feel that my post has come…

If I lost 80, 100 or 113lbs I'd probably be dead so that advice isn't really applicable to me...like I said everyone is on a slightly different path and if there was a formula that everyone could follow to the letter I think we all would. I have not said that this 3 day diet is a good idea, I have just shared my personal…

I think that you have misunderstood what I have said, I am not implying that what you or anyone else has said is wrong, what I am saying is that if you listen to everyone that has/hasn't lost weight's advice it can be very confusing. And when you read people's success stories they often have different routes they take. I…

People are very quick to judge, different things work for different people I tried the gm diet which is 7 days long, I didn't lose loads of weight but my appetite adapted, which I found a kickstart to a sustainable change in diet. But I always struggled with starting a diet so for me it worked. Some people will always give…

That is very encouraging, I have no issues cutting calories, I could eat one junky meal a day and not be hungry, but I am actively trying to change my mindset on that, as I don't feel it is good for my overall health. I have lowered my calories previously I have now put it up to 1500 calories to see if that kick starts…

Like I said it's not about fast, but for me eating healthily is always a chore, I'm very busy so not going for the quick easy option is very hard. But I'm trying

Putting my activity level to 1-2 times a week, puts my TDEE up to 1945 so 20% below that is 1560. Which isn't far off where I'm eating at the moment.

Like I say, I've read until I can't read anymore, I know that it's not an overnight thing and when I say fast I mean I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere at all. 20% below my TDEE is below my BMR, which is why I set it at 1400, but as I say don't know how much closer I can get to my TDEE and actually be losing weight.…

I would put myself at a 9, although this may be counterproductive. I tend to eat prepackaged foods when I'm not in the house (like a tin of soup or a weight watchers meal) or I eat in restaurants where I know all the calories can be found easily online. When I am in the house I scan everything before I open the packets…

I know the feeling, eating 800-1200 calories a day and I'm not losing any weight. I understand the numbers but they don't seem to work for me

I work a lot, so don't have a huge amount of time to be hungry. I have opened my diary now, but think I eat pretty stamdardly, tend to stay away from bread, pasta and rice but I do eat it everyone and again. Also tend to stay say from red meat, just because I'm not a massive fan of it. Any ideas to improve my diary would…
