Tins of mixed beans are super cheap and you can add in anything you fancy - tuna / eggs go great if that's your thing or I whip up a ratatouille also super cheap. Fine to eat cold. The beans will give you protein to give you a full feeling. I steer clear of wraps/bread just because they make my energy crash. You could make…

Hello! I am in Newcastle under Lyme, UK

Hi all. I am fairly new too. I have done a few classes but they were always huge. A clinic around the corner from my home is starting some smaller practice soon. I do yoga at home too. I also have started aerial so I am really working my upper body core and flexibility :) hi all!! It is OK to add me if you say on the…

Thank you very much. I did struggle with correct breathing so you may be on to something. Thank you again.

Hi. There are some groups on here if you search for them to support you in recovery. However this is just a forum and you need some medical support so please see a doctor :)

As the others have said try to plan in some snacks. And drink water :) no one needs to feel hungry to lose :)

Ah bodies! Bloody brilliant aren't they. As others have said spot reducing is not possible. I don't know much but would doing some strength training help to add muscle and tone to the top to even it out a bit whilst you continue working on the bottom? Can any lifters advise on this? I understand your frustration but…

See a doctor please :)

Sounds great! I will add you :)

Your dietician will want cooperation. No one is going to stop you having the odd fast meal. But these guys are expensive... and yes you probably need one to show you just how easy it is to make that transition. So yes..you need to commit.

I have insomnia, when it doesn't kill off my appetite and I eat I log it. I will move a bit more the following day. Also your body uses 161 cals extra if you stay awake aaall night as I do but it will reserve these if it can out of the following day and day after.

Oh just thought - olives. I made a tapanade for cod the other day: 3 tbs olive oil Half cup olives Half cup capers Five red tomatoes deseeded Shallots Fresh oregano Pepper Pinch salt Blitz in blender Fry off in pan to release flavours Spoon over cod half way through cooking... The oil drains off. Rich. Tasty

Fresh Brussels sprouts have a mustards taste when roasted. Plain for me but with butter and chopped bacon for him. Roast garlic. Beautiful. Sweetcorn on cob brushed with butter and paprika roasted I will only not eat swede. Vile

I swear you have them:) I plant my feet sturdy and this is hard to describe I kind of pull everything in (not suck it in) just kind of clench it aaall in there and hold. I plank like my life depends on it. Boat and half boat yoga moves to. You will start to recognise them joining the party. I did a head stand today and I…

Days like today I used to stress about and quit hun! But now I made a post to poke fun at me and show I am human (I ate aaall the things!). My mind set changed a few months ago... Every day is different. Not hard. Just different :) x

Hi hun, gosh you must be at your wits end! First of all I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis, it must have been quite a shock. Next - I think your doctor should be offering you more help than just a diagnosis. Are you in the UK? Can you get a referral to a dietician? Nutritionist? You are not going mad, your condition can…

By the way on ESE if I am struggling by hour 19 or 20 I break early. I follow my body.

I don't know much about 5:2 as I do ESE. Do you need to hit a particular figure? My gut says if you are not enjoying it you will not stick at it...and 100 call isn't going to make much difference :) but that is only my opinion

That you are willing to batch cook will save you tonnes! Good job! Don't be afraid of 'end of life' items if they are being sold they are safe to eat and I sometimes pay a quarter for something this way. Beans legumes pulses are cheap last ages if stored correctly and add protein and bulk to dishes for very few pence (I am…

Kale.... no oil just cooked on a low heat until slightly crispy. Top a bit of salt. I easily eat a whole bag

I have insomnia that even medication doesn't touch and frequently am awake for stretches of 48 hours plus when I do sleep it is typically under 3 hours. My weight is fairly consistent, I lose but slowly. My sleep is linked to another condition but I found your stories interesting. I hope you get rest all of you :D

Given your health and restrictions can you get a referral from your doctor to a dietician? They could tailor a plan for you. I hope your health improves.

You are pretty awesome for losing what you have. You are also using a counsillor so you know what to do. I know this isn't what you want to hear - but you are amazing! You will get there! Keep doing your thing!

For what it's worth I quit alcohol for health reasons 8 months ago. There was no magic 'drop' of weight. I have probably lost at about the same rate.

I added you to chat about this but it did a weird thing so not sure if you got it. If not please feel free to add me :)

I have IBS and today was diagnosed with gastritis and also got my appt for colorectal investigations (lucky me) as I present with bleeding as well. No idea how to manage anything yet :( good luck xx

I honestly do think you will look different but are maybe struggling to see it. Could you put the pics up maybe? For what its worth I have lost 21lbs so far and gone down two sizes but can not see it. In fact I thought I looked worse than ever in an outfit the other day, it took someone else to tell me otherwise. Great job…

Thank you very much for the advice. I am sorry to read your husband went through all of this and I hope that now he is in recovery he is feeling much better. I will have a chat with the doctor after my exam appt which came through today. I am leaning to the 'diagnosis not neccessary' as I think it is crazy to eat something…

I don't know what I am (being tested) but my monthly went west at the beginning of the year and in the past recurrent miscarriages. Hoping the tests show whats up and it al settles back down. See your doc :)

First off if you are absolutely sure that payment was not authorised you should be able to charge it back. Problem solved.
