I posted a thread almost exactly the same as this about 3 weeks ago, and I got some really good support, mainly people giving me recipes that tried to 'hide' vegetables so I could get more of them into my diet. I must admit however I still eat rather badly as like you I eat kids food and can't stand veg. Add me as a friend…

Finished day three of level one, today was easily the hardest, legs and arms are burning, but then so is my butt so i'm hoping i'm getting that into shape :) Had to have a slight rest today, i'm not proud of it but my lungs died (asthma) so i needed about a min and a half to recover. Was fine after that though.

I personally find the squats with the weights the hardest part. especially the side lunges and arm raises. After those i'm glad of the cardio, however I want to die with the squats/punching. Omg it hurtsss so much!! Using 3lb weights and can't see me going for heavier for a while, arms are killing. But in a good way i'm…

I'm occassionaly hungry on 1200 but I have a very unhealthy diet as I don't really like vegetables, salad or fruit, so I have nothing 'good' to snack on . But I have being trying to avoid the really bad stuff like takeaways, fried food etc and its working for me so far. I guess i'll just stick with what i'm doing as its…

My goal weight is 104 pounds, so around seven and a half stone. I just want to go back to being a size 8, which I used to fit in comfortably at 7 stone, but i'm being realistic and not aiming that low. i'm ok with eating my 1200, I was just confused about exercise cals as I wasn't sure if I was getting enough of a deficit…

Yeah mine have gotten wayy smaller in the month ive been on here, easily one or two cup sizes. It sucks because the only good thing about being overweight was the amazing sized boobs that came with it, looks like i'm going back to an A :(

Ok finished day two, I was achey when I woke up but so were a lot of you on here. So I just thought I may aswell go straight into it instead of complaining. Glad I did now. :)

God do I ache today, about to try day 2, i'm still stickng with level one because i'm still on the 'easier' exercises. Hope it goes ok, my arms and leg hurrrrtt :(

I can easily bypass most cakes, chocolate, biscuits and sweets buttt i'm a sucker for bread, crisps, pasta instead. One thing i'm pleased about is that I absolutely hate chinese food and I hear that is very fatty. But to counteract I love kfc, italian etc. Oh and cheese, i'm not a big cheese eater.

Make sure you do get a decent one, I bought a davina macall corss trainer for £40 off ebay, they retail in argos at £100 and thought I was getting a good deal. However a 30 min workout on my personal elliptical tells me i've burned around 100 cals wheras the ones at the gym I used to burn around 330. I think it might have…

Wow this has given me amazing motivation. I'm 4'11" and although I haven't see any progress yet these pics are very encouraging and show me what is possible :)

I haven't had kids but I had to have a bowel resection 2 years ago due to crohns disease its left me with a huge scar running from above my belly button to below my public bone. The bottom part of my abdominals is split into two and looks really unsightly (a lot like this…

I usually go for an apple or some grapes but i'm really intrigued by the low fat dairylee and cucumber. Although i might substitute the cucumber for carrot or cellery.

Big mug of tea usually sorts me out :) skimmed milk though obviously!

Some really good suggestions guys, writing down some of the more appealling ones, mainly where veggies are hidden / cut very fine. I'd like more beans in my diet but I only eat baked beans so that I have the sauce to dip my chips in, I don't actually like the beans, the texture when I chew them freaks me out so I swallow…

Thankd for the recipe, i'll be sure to try some modified kind of version of it, I really don't think I can go straight into eating them as they are, the texture is the worst for me especially mushrooms and tomoto. But it sounds good so I will keep at it, I do really want to start making my own pasta sauces as the shop…

Hi chris! I do very much adore itallian, but mainly limit myself to spaghetti and meatballs with a smooth tomato sauce or my mums homemade lasagne modified to include no veg. I am interested in your recipe however I guess I would have to blend the mushrooms and zucchini (which i've never even heard of by the way!)

From what i've read so far turkey alternatives seem to be the way to go aswell as buying a blender. I'm sure a turkey sausage sandwich could be my guilty pleasure once in a while as I almost died the other day when I saw how many calories were my usual frozen pork sausages, not to mention the grams of fat.

I love breakfast! Have swapped my usual fry ups for cereal with skimmed milk, or jam on toast (seedless obv) so its nice to have some fresh suggestions for when I start to get bored of these. For lunch I usually alternate between salt and pepper chicken breast with salt and rosemary potatoes, a cheese sandwich, or a…

Just googled that book and it looks like its exactly what I need. Thank you!

I have started eating fruit slowly, limited to apples, grapes and pineapples for now but vegetables are another mental block altogether. I guess I was forced into eating them when I was younger and as soon as I could cook for myself I did and never made them. I also eat really wierd like I don't like my foods to be mixed.…

Thanks so much for the suggestions, these are things I was hoping to get out of this topic! The cauliflower idea sounds amazing as I do love mashed potatoes and cauliflower is edible if I am forced into in (Sunday dinner at parents) so mashed with butter and some spices/ flavourings sounds like it could be really…

Yeah I find it quite embarrassing actually, as I still technically eat kids food and never graduated past seeing vegetables as gross. I'm sure that there are nice veggies out there but unless they were cooked for me in a certain way with flavourings etc to convince me then I won't even consider eating them. I've not eaten…

Pasta, potatoes, bread - All the bad carbs Meat in pretty much any form. Baked beans. These are my main food groups I guess. I just never got into vegetables or salad and I wish I liked them as it would make this weightloss a whole lot easier, especially when eating out.

Small bowl of cereal with skimmed milk. But I prefer jam on toast, its not strictly sugar free though...

I'm 4'11" and my bmr is currently 1243 as my current weight is 132 pounds. My goal weight is about 104. At the minute I can only eat 1200 a day according to mfp so the idea of eating less than that when I eventually drop to 104 is scary. I don't want to be constantly exercising when i'm at my goal weight I want to relax a…
