I had that problem with my nan. (Note I said had). Nothing I did was correct in her eyes... I eat salad, I am not eating enough and I will end up with an ED. I eat burger and chips, I have failed on my diet and I have no commitment. I dont take a biscuit when offered, I am being silly because 1 wont hurt. I take a biscuit,…

The way I do it is this... I weigh out all ingrediants and add the grams together and then each items calories together. I then divide the calories by the grams and times by 100. This gives how many calories are in 100g. I then weigh out my portion and this gives me how many calories (give or take) I have consumed.

Big brownie points to your partner :-) and Well done you :-)

I have just looked on a jar of Hartley blackcurrant and strawberry jam and there is no fat in it. Jam is just primarily boiled fruit and sugar. No fat is added at all. Low sugar jams.. yes. Low fat.. no

I don't have a sensitivity to aspartame. I could drink diet coke until the cows came home if I wanted to. Doner kebab meat however is a different story,my body is very sensitive to that.

Personally I would go for steak but only because I don't like salmon.

Mine was taken on Saturday

Don't eat them if they taste bad. Amazes me the amount of posts that start with I don't like this, how do I make it taste better?

I prelog foods if I have prepared then and the rest at a rough guess on an evening for the next day because a) I don't have access to the internet at work and b) I like to see if it is balanced and what can I add to get a good day.. I write down all the actual weights and update on the night.

I second this... add me as a friend if you like. I won't bite your head off :-)

Don't think of it as a long journey, a journey has to end. Think of it as a constant change in lifestyle, something that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Do not think of it as I have 200lb to lose, think I have 7lb and then another 7lb and then another 7lb. Psycologically 7lb is easier to get to than 200lb but…

Add me too. I need to lose about 60lb also.

Me too :) Maybe we could motivate each other. Add me if you want

Think you may have hit the nail on the head. Sounds like she is worried that you will look better than she does on her wedding day.

This is why in the UK the nutrition label also states the calories, fat, sugar not just by serving but by 100g or 100ml. This way it is not really hidden.

I am not eliminating anything. As soon as I do that I want it like mad and end up eating loads. So I eat what I want when I want in small quantities.

As long as you eat under maintenance you will lose weight. The general rule is for every 0.5lb you need to be 250 calories under. So if you maintain at 2250 you will not lose weight if you eat around or more than that. 1850-2050 is 0.5 - 1lb (ish) loss per week. But weight loss is not liniar so some weeks you may lose…

I have a book with all my reasons written in there. I look at that.

Europeans write numbers the same as everyone else thousand is 1,000 and one and a half is 1.5 Not sure where the idea of European and American scales has come from

I am 5 foot 5 @nd I am aiming somewhere between 133 & 140lb Been so long I cant tell you how I will look and feel at what weight so I am aiming to lose 7lb mini goals until I get to where I feel comfortable.

Personally I blame Ronald McDonald

I am 5foot 5inches, female 30 205lb and myfitnesspal recommends I eat 1560 calories for a 1lb loss with no exercise. Something is not right, are you sure you entered the correct information?

How many calories have you set yourself? What is your gender and height? Are you sure you are not eating too little to begin with? How much do you drink, thirst can disguise itself as hunger.

I like walking. I am fortunate to live in an area surrounded by countryside and only an hour from the peak district. Nothing nicer than a stroll around a lake, through a field or over a hill. I also love swimming. It is great because it is a mixture of cardo and resistance.

I do not know you or your girlfriend but as a general comment... I am sorry to hear that this has happened. Not telling you face to face was a pretty cowardly thing to do but maybe she could not handle the guilt of why she was finishing with you, whatever that may be. Regardless of the circumstances, it is what it is and…

I had this revaluation this weekend. My wardrobe has so many colourful clothes in it now. Last year it was full on dull colours.

No, that's Satanists not Atheists, we don't eat babies.

Oh no you said it :s Let the massacre commence :p I agree with that though, forgetting all other nutritional attributes; a calorie is a calorie. You can enjoy what you want as long as it fits in your day. Just remember that (for example) 100 cal of grapes gives you more to eat that 100 cal of chocolate =)

^^ This. I love my fitbit. It may not be 100% accurate. But it motivates me to get off my bum, reach my targets and walk further than last time.
