i always have the same everyday except for dinner. it makes shopping easy, makes calorie counting easy. aftr a while when i get bored i change the routine. i sometimes crave other things but i like to routine

my failsafe whenever I plateau over the years, especially if I have been dieting strictly for a long itme and am close to 105lbs, is having some high carb high cal days. once a week,even. I think it breaks the starvation mode. then I susually lose a couple pounds just after that. BUT are you sure you are logging correctly?

haha so true! then by second week of feb is back to normal again!

http://www.9bar.com/ these are awesome. enough sugar to give you a good hit to concentrate. all those nuts and seeds - very dense ans filling. vegand and gluten free. about 250 cal each though, but they fill you up. sometimes i have them for breakfast. oh and very very yummy!

who cares, thats so awesome, wish i could lose it that fast, many congrat!!

thanks guys, this thread is full of 'healthy' low cal nice foods. for me, I love pasta. but the high carbs and calories, high gluten and low GI puts it at the bottom of diet foods. I have found the following alternatives: - microwaved bean sprouts - grated courgettes into fine ribbons with garlic I also find low carbing…

in your profile pic, neither of those girls looks obese??

for those of you that get up at 5:30 to work out, what time do you go to bed? or do you not need much sleep? for many of us, we work 9-7pm, with a one hour commute so the work days is pretty much 8am-8pm fitting sports in is hard. @ OP i also have no time to fit in many hours of sport, pre-preparing meals etc. so i find…

wow thanks guys that is amazing advice, and thanks for all the calculations. my food diary says I will lose about a pound a week at 1000 cals a day so it is healthy. I am short (5 ft 3)

thanks guys, im not sure if I have enough of a deficit. my BMR is 1300 and my intake is about 1000. I have a desk job, very sedentary and do not exercise often. I run 3 miles home, perhaps 3 times a week. is that enough?

too low for your height once I lost 2st on 700 cal a day (am 164cm) but when I tried maintaining it I had all weird stuff going on like feeling dizzy and growing hair on my face, losing hair etc. not the right way! I got down to 7 st 5 and a US size 00 (uk size 4 - 6)

I agree. it doesn't matter at all. if you eat 1000 calories for dinner, or in 6 tiny meals it is the same! I also disagree with the idea that eating infrequently leads to starvation mode and "you wont lose weight". if you DIDNT lose weight when you stop eating enough, people would never starve! BUT 1) eating frequently…

I would be so chuffed if I kept the weight off for two years! Thanks guys xx

im getting married this summer! need to lose about 40lbs! need motivation. congratulations to you all! :)

i'm new to the forum, is it too late for me to also lose a stone by Christmas?

hi im new too! I need to lose 40lbs as am getting married in the summer! basically I used to be a normal weight but then I got real bad asthma, made me turn to caffeine and sugar to get through the day, and I couldn't do sport. now im overweight. my main enemy to weight loss is lack of sleep which also makes me ovreat. any…
