  • i'll add you, on condition you log every day, honestly, take the highs with the lows and DO THIS... 4 years ago I was a size 20, I just fitted into a size 14 dress (see my profile pic) and for the record, I have NO will power! I don't have many friends, and the one good one I have doesn't think I should lose any more…

  • I add grated carrots to my spaghetti sauce too, or you could make soup with them
  • I always believed that multiple servings of the same veggie and potatoes didn't count... i'm hopeless at getting 5 in, so won't even attempt going for 10!
  • hi, I lost a lot of weight just by walking our dog, and eating better (tho I still have bad days!) it can be done! I also love to bake and cook, plus I have a really sweet tooth too. Add me if you want, i'm in Perthshire
  • i'm here in Perthshire, lost 43lbs, gained back about 17, back to 33lbs off, and going for goal! :)
  • I am going to a wedding on 22nd april, and to really annoy the mother of the bride (my chubby friend who told me on saturday that SHE wanted ME to STOP losing) i want to get into a very expensive uk size 14 dress, which is so close to fitting perfectly! 5-7lbs should do it... or some very unglamourous scaffolding type…
  • i'm the mother of a Crohn's sufferer who just finished her latest round of steroids on Wednesday. she's also just had a new baby, she is doing slimming world and has lost 7lbs even while on the final couple of weeks of steroids, so it can be done. good luck!
  • if money was no object i'd go back to Kenya, not Nairobi, but to the coast. Sun and sea and relaxation. from there i'd go back to Tsavo to see the elephants and also to the Maasi Mara to see the big cats, as well as exploring other areas we have never visited I'd also re-visit the school we helped build in Mombasa. that…
  • hi, i'm in Scotland, been here on MFP for 600+ days, and was doing great till last summer holidays when i fell off the wagon and wrecked things, i'm back losing again, albeit slowly, add if you want, I support all my friends.
  • have you read the nutritional information panel on the box? it will tell you there about fat, sodium and sugar content of the meal and you can decide if you think its healthy or not
  • i think you should prepare yourself to wear a bigger dress, I was a 16/18 and it took approx. 9 months to get into a 14. sorry to be brutal but its impossible in such a short time!
  • hiya! from Scotland too, been here almost a year and lost a good bit, one stone till I reach my goal, so it can be done! I log every day, I support my friends and expect the same back... only fair I think lol
  • i'm from Scotland, I was here 3-4 years ago and did well, so stopped logging.. bad move, I've been back for almost a year and have about a stone to go... its slow, but i'm not in a race. always looking for new supportive friends who log every day.
  • basically, eat what you like, log it and stay within your daily allowance... move more, drink lots of water. try adding something new to your diet, just a new taste or texture, as you would with a baby lol, maybe you just don't like the thought of some 'healthier' foods. plus.. don't look upon this as a diet, more as a…
  • mmmmm cheese and wine!
  • porridge or yogurt with fruit and a few nuts, some honey mixed in is yummy, I like a little cereal on top of the yogurt too, eggs, bacon, toast with peanut butter and a banana... the list is endless, as you can see above! whatever you fancy, so long as its within your goals

  • all that math for 10 cals... I would probably burn that many doing the sums :)
  • ummmm.... that's cauliflower lol
  • I've lost what I've lost by calorie deficit, walking and a once a week swim... its a great form of exercise!
  • I have started making coconut water ice cubes with herbs and fruit in them, I add two to a glass of water. I just started this week, and so far have made lime and rosemary, strawberry and basil, and lemon and ginger ones, the flavour isn't strong, but they make plain water more interesting. (going to try mango and mint…
  • just baked a carrot cake, but its going to remain whole and will be given away tomorrow! (I did have a slice of lemon drizzle today tho my bad!!)
  • i'd go for a walk.... 50 minutes earned me 199 cals today
  • on your diary, at the end of each entry there is a little red sign with a white bar (like a british no entry sign), click on that and the item is deleted
  • everthing keeps freezing up on me, can't even log my food, and this took approx. 4 min to type!! so frustrating!
  • I bake, a lot, but I have to give it away! my employer who recently passed away managed to get through plenty of cake each week, so now i'm kinda 'lost' as he's no longer around, but am also experimenting with gluten, sugar, dairy free recipes for a friend who is starting up a naturopathy practice, I hope she gets lots of…
