  • Great comments and I'll definitely check out that website for inspiration thanks! But I do want to stress that chicken breast isn't the huge deal that I must have made it sound as it's caught the most attention - (before we dieted I would use chicken a lot - he found that boring even then. And I make up my own recipes so…
    in Advice for dieting in a relationship - specifically, living with someone Comment by laurenthecarts October 2015
  • Add me :) I've just started my second stint too - my excuse is that relationships are wonderful, but bad for diet motivation. Been with him for a year now and have just braved the scales to discover I've almost put on exactly what I was so proud of losing. Too many Netflix nights with crispies! ...And chocolate... and....

  • If you eat the 1200 minimum then you will lose weight quickly however you're also going to stop losing pretty sharpish when your body adjusts to that intake. (Lower than 1200 and your going to go into 'starvation mode' where you'll store instead of lose!) The best way to go about it is to eat the advised calories and then…

  • It's a weird one, but I eat with chopsticks as often as I can. It makes you concentrate on eating and allows you to eat slower so that you don't overeat.

    in What are your best HABITS for losing weight? Comment by laurenthecarts April 2014
  • Did you experience the infamous weight gain? I'm at the contemplative stage of quitting, but the thought of not making as much progress to lose weight and even gain some is making me put it off... I mentioned it to my doctor who said that it was a guarantee 'but that you'll lose what you gain in a year' - wasn't quite as…

  • I don't know a great deal about this as I'm quite new to it, but I did some research a little while ago which suggests you should eat back the calories. It explained it in a similar way to how our bodies can go into 'starvation mode' when we cut back calories, when you exercise and your body burns so much energy which it's…
