as long as you aren't having two slices of toast with a full english in the morning, a sandwich for lunch and bread to mop up the gravy/curry sauce on the chip shop tea I wouldn't worry too much about a piece of bread :laugh:

you're probably not in as much of a calorie deficit as you think you are. Measure your food out for a while, including the snacks :P - online calculators are notoriously finicky and inaccurate so don't take these as oath - experiment with your own body to see what works for you. Maybe you're retaining water - try reducing…

if you can identify the culprit for the binge eating it might be easier to control - if you find yourself binging when you're tired this is probably your body's way of signalling that it's tired as food = energy so maybe try to get to sleep earlier?If it's when you're bored as others have suggested try finding another…

well done - just goes to show people you can enjoy the foods you enjoy and still lose weight :) keep it up :)

chances are you're over compensating how much weight you have to lose. Losing too much weight too quickly can give you loose skin and stretch marks - not to mention the fatigue and probable mood swings that you will incur by dropping your calories to a such a low number required for such big weight loss. Eat sensibly,…

agreed. You can see from my profile picture that I've lost a lot of weight (6 stone approx) and most of it was done on a treadmill... i tried to incorporate some bodyweight compound exercises (squats, lunges, press ups etc) but i wasn't very strict with it. Now i look a lot smaller but not nearly as lean as I'd like. I…

you've entered a big, friendly, supportive community. Welcome to the family and good luck :tongue:

I think it has more to do with how you conduct yourself after losing weight. Obviously your new and improved appearance is likely to capture attention, but I think, from my experience anyway, after losing weight you're far more likely to choose more fitted outfits and walk confidently - confidence attracts attention! You…

I've sent this guy a friend request and a message. So jealous of him managing to avoid the stretch marks and flabbiness! haha

I do some bodyweight compound exercises to try and tone up but I'm not as rigid with these as I guess I could be (definitely through lack of knowledge - so much conflicting information do this don't do that). I do squats, press ups, crunches, lunges. If I was somehow hoping to tone up through building some muscle, i fear…

Eat over maintenance with fruits/veggies/burgers/hot dogs and watch the weight go on. I usually roughly estimate portion sizes with vegetables since I tend to eat lower calorie vegetables e.g. cabbage, broccoli, spinach. I'm a bit more persnickety with fruit because of its' higher calorie content and because a fruit…
