Maybe she eats 1200 on the days she doesn't exercise?!

I ran a bit last year- but I got split shins because I didn't have proper trainers. I might go back to week 4/5- just to make sure I'm not pushing myself too hard and risk another injury!

Yep, I ran for 5 mins, walked for 3, ran for 8 mins, walked for 3, ran for 5 mins in total. I think it was about 1.5/2 miles

Mental health provision in the UK is beyond bad. I wouldn't be surprised!

If you need to go on antidepressants then do! They can be a life saver- and in the long run your mental health now is more important. If (and a big if!) you do gain weight on them, then deal with it when you're mentally healthy.

Starvation mode means that if you're eating way too few calories over a sustained amount of time, your body won't lose weight as it's holding on to the fat in case it doesn't get food again for a while- goes back to when we were hunter/gatherers I guess- when we really didn't know where the next meal was coming from! And…

Of course not. Read it in the context. Having nicotine (and only nicotine- as in from an e-cig, not a cigarette filled with tar and chemicals) is as equivalent to caffeine. Both are addictive, but cause minimal side effects. And actually there is nicotine in most vegetables, so everyone has it to some extent!

Nicotine is as harmful as caffeine. So not very really!

They're completely utterly different! When spaghetti squash is cooked the flesh turns into strands like spaghetti, without any work at all. Butternut squash wouldn't do that on its own! I bought spaghetti squash from tesco, also sell it in Waitrose, although I'm in London so probably have more choice!

I'm looking for some friends too! Feel free to add me!

I need to lose 40-50lbs too! Feel free to add me :)

I do have a scale! I used to use it for baking- but now for less exciting tasks! Buying water is a good idea! Thanks!

That was because I guessed my weight to begin with, I didn't own any bathroom scales!

I'm a student so I'm quite poor! It's hard to buy lots of vegetables for dinner, and then expensive things for snack too! I think my meals are healthy, but if I had lower cal snacks I would be way under my daily calorie intake? I look forward to having something sweet in the evening, and only have one snack a day- albeit…

I put my own in, I'm eating at a 580cal deficit, so hoping to lose 1lb a week! I probably don't drink enough water- I live in London and it tastes awful! But will make that my mission for this week! Thanks :)

But different things are triggering for different people?!
