Cornflakes with ice cold milk, rice krispies, weetabix or porridge

The only thing keeping me going it my countdown to Honeymoon! 34 days!!!!!!!!

Its going ok, I found yesterday (first day after my first fast) I wasnt that hungry and didnt eat my daily allowance. I also felt more tired when running but I am putting that down to a lack of fuel but I hope each fast day I will feel an improvement!

Well I made it through the first fast! *yay* If anyone is interested I am blogging about it here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/daisykitten

Personally I find that if what I am eating doesnt make me happy then there is no point. Yes we should be eating everything that is 100% nutritionally balances but if it looks like a brick then I'd rather not bother at all.

oooh fab thanks for the heads up!

Thyroid or anaemia would be my guess but only a blood test will tell. I was suffering with coldness and my outcome was I am B12 deficient since taking supplements I haven't had any further problems.

I agree with the others it's something that comes with time and practice - but DONT GIVE UP!!!! You'll get there :)

Well done you DO look amazing and your husband is totally right (and as a newly married lady I dont say that lightly! ;o) )

Hi Welcome back, I am 34.... I might be over your age limit! I am in the NW but I am actually from London, I am also a runner and now a Zumba fanatic too! My downfalls are wine and crisps also (so I am glad to see I am not the only one!)

Well its 11.20 and I am keeping myself busy until lunchtime! Have been feeling a bit peckish but nothing major

Definitely go to your GP though there are private companies that will do it thought I am not sure how reliable they are. I will warn you though, I had to fight to see an allergist last year, and they only referred me because I refuse to move from the GP's office until they did, I had tried everything else and it was my…

Once a week, at the same time - Wednesday morning when I get out of bed.

I'll be honest this is a quick fix for me to lose a few extra lbs before I go on honeymoon, I dont think I will be able to keep it up as a way of life, I realise however that once I start eating "normally" again I'll expect to see a gain so I am not thinking this is a long term fix but definitely worth it if I look good in…

I think thats something different? But I'll take a look. Thanks

Cheers :) I got married 7 months ago so the weight has slowly crept on in such a small amount of time! But I really want to aim to get to my wedding weight and stick there at least until we have a baby!

I think this is the most likely answer. Just for the record, I am not overweight and my BF% is normal.

Thanks - this is the big push for my honeymoon in 37 days! I shouldn't need too much motivating (because the bikini should be doing that!) but I might feel weak and need a kick up the bum!

I say keep at it, it might just be a plateau and things might start moving again, personally I am not 100% unhappy with how I am at the moment I would just like to be more toned - so maybe thats the way to go? Chuck out the scales and bring in the measuring tape :)

Do you mind me asking how old you are? I am nearly mid 30's and I find it really hard to get past the weight I am now compared to 5-6 years ago when I was at my lightest (UK 8 or US 4) - since my wedding just over 7 months ago I have put on nearly 14lbs and I am finding it really hard to lose, yet maintaining this weight…

Thank you! Why isnt this a sticky thread at the top of the page?! I have been lost in acronyms!

Dont bother it doesnt work and DID have a nasty side effect from it..... running to the toilet when I am at work and spending most of the afternoon there wasnt my idea of fun. Avoid. There are no magic pills.

Don't do it, they don't work. All that will happen is you'll end up with some pretty horrid side effects and less money in your pocket. If there was a miracle pill we'd all take it instead of putting the hard work in to diet and exercise.

I am starting the 5:2 this week and would love some MFP pals who are also doing this diet! I need some food recommendations for the fast days!

Wow you look fantastic!

All wedding dress designers will have different measurements - your best bet is to find a dress you like and have it fitted to you and not worry about the label. My dress was bespoke so I cant tell you what the actual size was but I tried the 12 on in the shop which was too big and I am a size 10-12 in high street shops.

Fasting with a hangover would never happen! But thanks for the tip! :)

I am planning to start this diet this week, I have worked out my first week, so regular days I will continue with my MFP recommended allowance, on fast days I plan to have a decent breakfast (porridge) a light lunch of just fruit or a yoghurt and then a half decent dinner in the evening. The day before my fast days (so for…

Strong builders tea. No sugar and minimal milk - tea strong enough you can stand a spoon in it. I.E English Breakfast that has been brewed to death.
