Thanks for your help, I'll deffentily be taking it on board.

Yep, no more quick adds iv just found out bout the barcode scan which makes portion sizing abut easier. I was round my nans who cooked for me.

Yep I fully understand. Marathon and a life style change. Not sprint and quick fix cos it'll go straight back on. I made my diary public and I'm only getting 5-10 g of fat and others for breakfast and lunch but without my dinner cos it home made and I go by what my mother says... Hmm

I do a mixture, 30 minutes on a bike in the gym keeping at around 90 rpm, I do a mixture of weights mainly for toning than weight loss, I'm also doing 2 mile runs ( all I can manage ATM ), sit ups every other night 100 total per session, and I'm swimming twice a week 30 minutes breast stroke. I also play for a football…

So I should be doubling my cal intake to keep at 2lb a week loss? How do I make my diary public?

I'm a 1st year apprentice, all my money is spent on rent, car insurance and petrol. 300 quid a month. I simply can't afford to buy chicken for lunch, I'm lucky if I get it for dinner.

I wasn't getting my fruits for sure, now my lunch consists of 2 pears an orange and a muller fruit yoghurt.

Yep when I wasn't tracking my weight. Now everything is tracked

In total in guessing I was eating around 2200 tops Cals on a bad day iv always had bran flakes in the morning, a ham sandwich, strawberry yoghurt , few prices of fruit and a pack of crisps for lunch and then a home made meal for dinner.

So why was I gaining so much weight at 2600ish cals a day?

Got it, I think sheer willpower to keep going and keep thinking of the benefits that being 14 stone will bring. Thanks everyone for your feedback! How do you get that 3lb pounds lost thing as your sig btw?

Do you have any tips on managing food cravings, keeping my mind off food etc? I used to eat alot, well over 2500 Cals a day, and now im down to eating 1400 max with exercise, do i have to just wait for my stomach to shrink? Thanks
