Love it or hate it Marmite on crackers....works if you are a 'savoury' person and hits the cheese when craving snacks.

Height 5ft 5inch weight 15stone not good!!!

Thank you for all your comments, I forgot to say I also make Kale/Grape and other veggy juices which I also have with my usual meals, which equates daily to average 12 different vegs (not peas, corn, beans). Mixed fruit berries, banana, apple, plums, orange. I struggle with leaving off bread.

It took me seven years to put it on........after life changing calamity! Don't want to go there want to be the very happy person I was.:brokenheart:

I have put my calorie intake at 1000 per day as my BMR is very low and I am inactive most part of the day except for my exercise classes. I am happy trying to aim for this even if my intake goes above this ignoring exercise cals burnt.

I think you are right in over-estimating exercise calories as only going by site calculation. Will cut back the time as you suggest as I know I have a very low metabolic rate. :flowerforyou:

I can cope with the thought of losing 4st in 28 weeks and mentally up for the challenge, but over a year is just deflating when I am working so hard with the exercise classes and getting no-where. Not cheating on the food diary with calories eaten either. Don't see where I can cut down anymore without starving? :noway:

Thank you the mind boggles with the fat/muscle topic....don't quite understand all that as to what is good and what is not! Feel I am really trying hard and getting nowhere.:sad:

I would say your measurements are just perfect......would give my all for this!!:flowerforyou:

Thanking all who replied to my post and members who have offered to befriend me, I feel welcome on this site and my lonely life a bit richer for this experience. :flowerforyou:

Thank you, how do I open up my food and exercise diary?

Thanks for reply what a good way of calculating weight! I have masses to loose but on track with calories and exercise but not with adding up protein cant seem to fathom this. Any quick answer?:frown:

Thanks for reply.....I am having difficulty with meeting the protein allowance, well ahead with calories and fat but somehow forget the protein count, any quick ideas?

Simply love simple baked apples. Core apple, score around apple, rub with clove, fill cavity with what ever you fancy, ie chopped nuts, fresh cherries, mincemeat (one teaspoon), or dried fruits. Bake on 200oC for about 20mins (max) although depends on size of cooking apple. 70cals depending on filling. 90cals max.
