Salted popcorn and mini BabyBel light cheese.

It can do, it depends on your diet. If you eat a lot of salty foods, you need more fluids or you'll dehydrate yourself. If you don't drink enough water, your body will retain it and this can show up on the scale. It's also easy to mistake thirst for hunger and if you eat something when all you really needed was water,…

Some people choose wholewheat because they want to eat 'clean' and white pasta, rice and bread are all refined quite heavily. I eat wholewheat pasta because I don't think it tastes much different than white, and tend to prefer wholewheat bread anyway. Can't stand brown rice, though.

I got two packs of six from Tesco buy one, get one free for about £3.50!

I've been eating Muller Light every morning for the last two weeks... omnomnom.

I think you misread, too; she said she's burning 2,500 in the gym 'each week' - not each day! That really would be a massive net calorie deficit! I agree with the 'check your measurements' thing. The scale might not say you're changing but you could be building muscle and shedding fat, which will lose you inches and not…

When we're talking about lifting, how much are we talking (kg)? I know it's different for everyone, but I have absolutely NO idea what a 'good' weight would be. What does everyone else lift, and how often?

You look AMAZING, well done!

I count my coffee but don't always count the milk (I just have the tiniest splash of semi-skimmed, no sugar). I don't always count ketchup if I have a tiny amount. I count even the smallest calories (lettuce, cucumber etc) not really for the calorie count but just so I can log what I actually ate as a meal for future…

I love granola and frozen yoghurt as a dessert; granola is pretty high calorie-wise but still healthy.
-
I have around 40lb to lose, too, add me if you like!
-
Every day, or every other day, but I only log once a week. Weight can fluctuate so much on a day-to-day basis but it's interesting to note.

It's all about getting your heart rate up and keeping it up; if you're walking slowly, your heart rate won't go up as high as if you run, obviously. You'd be surprised how high my heart rate can go loading in a delivery or climbing up and down a ladder for fifteen minutes holding armfuls of ski jackets. I think any…

I've started wearing a HRM to work. I work 8-9 hour shifts in retail, where I'm only taking a half hour out for lunch. The rest of the time, I'm not just stood, I'm walking around, lifting boxes, climbing ladders, moving things around. Should I consider it exercise? I burned 2200 calories today, you're damned right I'm…

I actually love turkey bacon with a poached egg on wholemeal bread... seriously! I also love thick sliced unsmoked bacon with a fried egg on thick sliced white bread. <3

This sounds DELICIOUS.

Well done! Normal is relative, but if you've suddenly cut a lot of things out of your diet and started eating healthier, it's not unusual to lose a lot in one go. I've cut alcohol out completely and lost 5lb this week. Go us!
-
I, too, would like to know how good these are! I'm currently using a HRM and finding it pretty accurate but the Fitbit looks awesome.

Femme: I like to be the little spoon. I cry over books, movies, music... you name it. I'll take chocolate over sex. I love to cook. I also love to clean. Butch: I do all of the heavy lifting at work. I sit with my legs apart way too often. I can drink ten double Jack and Cokes without passing out. I go out without drying…

I used to love this song! Mine would have to be: Stabbing Westward - Waking Up Beside You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70l6Zhsy23Q Taking Back Sunday - Your Own Disaster http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CJnajMWxa4 Augustana - Boston http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ASJBXu8tNo

There's no meal-planning section, it's just entering it into your log before you have it. You can add your foods daily, after you've eaten them, or add them a week ahead like a plan. Planning can make you stick to your calories more easily but it depends on whether or not you like to be spontaneous. I don't tend to log for…

I look for something around the 100-150 mark for a treat. Penguin bars are 106, for example, which is pretty good. Any small biscuit bar or funsize chocolate bar is great for a treat without breaking the calorie bank. Instead of getting a full-size Mars bar, just go for the funsize version. You're still getting what you…

1. I took antidepressants when I was a teenager and my weight ballooned by two and a half stones in two months. 2. I stopped exercising. 3. I made terrible food choices and paid no attention to how many calories were in what. 4. I drank too much and too often. 5. I had no willpower or self-control. All of these are…

I used to take the money that I would have spent on a bottle of wine and instead of having the wine, put the money in a box. I'd do it every week until I had enough cash to treat myself. If there's something food or drinkwise that you treat yourself with, take the money and save it if you can. It'll soon add up and you can…

Fruit, gotta be grapes, and vegetable, either babycorn or sugarsnap peas.

You look great, congratulations and well done! I'm 5' 7" too and 196lbs right now, this is great motivation!

No, that's Veruca. My wife and I finally agreed on baby names. Alexander (Lex) Nolan Arthur for a boy and Juliana Mae for a girl.

My diary is open, you're welcome to add me if you like. I'm on 1200.
