I agree with this. Mine is set to a 1.2lb a week loss so I don't have to deprive myself of what I want. For example I have just eaten a 7 inch pizza and 1/4 of a garlic bread pizza and I am still in the green. I enjoy swimming and walking so I don't see it as exercise. I firmly believe that having fun is the key to…

What does it matter? Its a nice recipe. Try it or don't.

Sounds yummy. Thank you for sharing. I will be trying this at some point.

Are you weighing and measuring everything you put in your mouth? Are you eating back half your exercise calories? To see if you are eating enough, try www.fitnessfrog.com = TDEE calculator Fill in the form and deduct 500 calories. That will tell you how many calories for a pound a week loss.

I would much rather lose inches than pounds. If it disheartens you so much, I would suggest ditching the scales and just go by clothes and measurements. Well done and good luck.

Keep goals small. Don't think, I need to lose 22lbs, think I need to lose 3 then I need to lose 2 etc etc until you reach your goal. Write down why you want to lose weight and pin it somewhere predominant, where you can see it. Remember that there are no quick fixes. Take your time and change your lifestyle for the long…

Please excuse my ignorance but who is Dr Oz? I add slimming world to the list

HahahaHahaha your wife sounds like me Op= If do mostly all the cooking but my partner helps me with the cleaning, washing and anything else that needs doing. It's not the 50s where it was a women's place to do everything whist the man works. A relationship should be a partnership. Yours seems a bit one sided. Good luck =)

I am doing the same. My fella and I decided at the beginning of the year that we would start trying for a baby in June. Ideally I would like to be 140lb but since that is a 74lb loss in total it may be unachievable before I get pregnant but I am going to lose as much as I can. For motivation I think about this: I don't not…

It was 90 calories because I weighed everything out and used the calories from the packets. Don't forget the apple is cored so a lot of weight is lost and the dried fruit is minimal.

Yeah. Any dried fruit would work well. Apple crisps sound good too =)

Kalikel. A full English is a breakfast of sausage, bacon, egg, tomato, beans, fried bread (or toast) and black pudding. Hi Ashley, Set your weight loss to 0.5-1lb per week and eat whatever you want in moderation. For example if you want pizza. Have 1 or 2 slices and bulk out with salad. One of my personal rules is every…

This is mine too.

It's because some people use ounces and some use grams. It all depends on what country and what system of measuring they use. Just use an online converter.

My family is a play ground for Cancer. I have watched my 7 year old cousin fight leukaemia, my Aunt battle breast cancer 3 times. I can't say I know how you are feeling or what you are going through because so far I have been lucky. Concentrate on fueling yourself for battle. Your body is going to be subjected to things…

I think that's a conversation for a different thread lol Don't you just love predictive text =) I love my fitbit flex. There are so many coloured bands, it's now a part of my wardrobe lol. On a serious side, It has motivated me a lot. Even down to walking around the lounge to get those last few steps in before bed =)

I eat what I want, when I want and make it fit into my day. This way I don't have to have a cheat day.

I would feel very sorry for him because my life is boring.

British comedy at its finest.

Sorry, I havent responded up until I know. I got home from work and went for a sleep. I don't think it is PMS. I don't normally get this bad so soon. Normally its the day before and no so extreme and I definatly don't need to sleep before dinner. Thank you for all your responses. I am on holiday in Italy next week so I may…

Op: If the number is too daunting, make it smaller. What about 15 little goals of 11lb? 11lb is not so big =) You can do this =)

That's amazing - :flowerforyou: :drinker: I am going to make your NSV and use it to my advantage. It will go something like this... "This lady has lost 11lb and can now get her wedding ring on. Her hand looks really pretty. I wonder if my hand will look as pretty as hers. I know why don't we buy me an engagement ring to…

Salads are great and so versatile. Make them interesting. Anything can be made In to a salad. Main ingredient: Chicken, Turkey, Pork, Beef, Lamb, Cheese, Boiled Egg, Quiche, Tuna, Prawns, Salmon, Baked Potato. Salady Stuff: Lettuce, Tomato, Cucumber, Sweetcorn, Carrot, Beetroot, Pepper, Pickled Onion, Boiled Baby Potato,…

My nan is like that. I just ignore comments and just do what I want anyway. She is just transferring her frustrations on to you.

Ohhhhh I was sure I had seen the OP somewhere before. Now I remember. It's the six pack by June and eats only eggs guy.

I started just before new year. 30th Dec I think. Yeah I was on 1200 but felt crap so I upped it. The dates are the days I hit my goals.

Sorry I missed the post about your dr being a qualified nutritionist too. My Bad :blushing:

I looked at your diary too, I agree you don't eat enough. As stated in many posts I have seen in the past doctors are not qualified nutritionists. In fact most know Jack about it.

You are using far too much oil. A tbsp for each pancake is a lot and is not needed. I use a 1/2 a tsp per pancake. Personally I think you are over complicating things. Log all the oil you measure and leave it at that.

I have lost 29lb so far. I have recalculated, I am on 1470 calories which is what mfp has set for 1lb loss.
