My favourite is any salad leaves (I prefer baby spinach leaves and rocket) with half a pomegranate, and pieces of grilled halloumi, and any extras you might like to add. Sometimes I add a dressing of balsamic vinegar, or sweet red pepper sauce or just lime juice. I also really like chicken breast with mandarin pieces (I…

I have brown Roxy ones and only ever wear them with skirts/ t-shirt dress and leggings/tights. Or Denim shorts with tights underneath. I don't like them with Jeans. Round here, people wear them with pyjama bottoms on the school run...

Pickled capers, with a spoon. Peanut butter, and pesto. I could eat a whole jar of pesto on it's own.

nit pick* No seriously, I started to read the post with the intention of offering support, but I actually couldn't understand it because it had no flow. You don't have to use commas, you could just split it up. Like this. Would make it easier to read. At least then I'd know where one sentence started and another one ended.

That sounds ace Kr8351 :) we never did anything like that when I was a kid.

Museums, art galleries with kids activity rooms. Check out your local parks website and see what free events they have. Woods, beach. By a bottle of glycerine from the chemist and make a bucket full of bubble mixture and use things like coat hangers to make giant bubbles. I find cutting shapes in potatoes for printing…

I only know what English chippys sell so it might be different. Some chippys do general takeaway food and so do kebabs here, so a chicken kebab with salad and pitta is totally fine. Do they do them? We can also get 'mini fish/sausage dinner' which is a half portion but plenty filling. I think you should plan to eat only…

I agree, people with kids should be more conscious, not less. DD is just as thrilled with a cereal bar or flavoured rice cakes luckily, and I can help myself to them too. I tend to eat the most crap when she's not at home.

me too 5 ft 3 and 20 lb left to lose. I found the first stone fell off but now I just keep fluctuating and plateauing, and as a result giving in for a few days or having a night binge drinking because I feel deflated and then taking a week to lose it all again! anyone else the same? I've upped my exercise this last week,…

I loved weighing myself in the beginning but now I find the normal fluctuations throughout the week really, really put me off. I've decided from today to put my scales away and see how long I can resist. You definitely don't need scales, stick to your goals and weigh yourself in a big chemist or gym or a mates scales about…

wilkos do mechanical ones for 3.85 and digital ones for 7.70. Argos do mechanical ones for 3.99

I weigh myself most mornings, if I forget to weigh before breakfast and a drink I don't bother. I only log it here once a week or less. The pp who doesn't weigh at all has a point. I was going to weigh and log tomorrow but I may just put the scales away and see how long I can resist without using them. If I stick to my…

Do pelvic floor exercises or get a toner of some love eggs or something. Regardless of whether you've had kids it's likely to be because of weak pelvic floor muscles.

Oh also with my daughters cake, it was big and there was only a few of us. I gave everyone that came to see her blow her candles out a huge slab and then gave the rest to neighbours who have children so I didn't have any in the house, or I would have caved.

I'm afraid I had the same problem as you last week. Mine and my daughters birthday in the same week. I was fine on her birthday, I knew how much frosting I'd put on the cake and it wasn't that appealing to me, I had a small piece. I weighed myself a few days later and found I'd put on several pounds despite sticking to my…

I disagree really., as a single parent on benefits in the UK living in a deprived area, it would be far, far cheaper for me to buy crap. I could go to iceland and buy reformed meat products, huge bags of sausages, chicken nuggets, frozen chips and potato smiley etc far cheaper than what I do buy. White processed bread and…

Depends on your starting weight. The bigger you are the faster and easier it is to lose pounds. I know a very over weight woman who lost EIGHT pounds on her first week! That is just incredible. The most I've ever lost in a week is 4lb and I was only slightly overweight. More recently I've tend to plateau for a couple of…

You have a sweet tooth Becks, I have a beer tooth. I wonder if drunken dancing for several hours has anything to do with my fitness levels ;) I did lots of cardio last night just so I could have a beer in the shower. Was so worth it. If I didn't really want that last beer I wouldn't have done the cardio, so there is some…

unlikely, I just filled a bowl sized tupperware with (fake) shreddies, and couldn't fit more than 160g in, and that would have been a big bowl. Is 500g the net weight, does it include the pox and packet? My fake shreddies say 30g is a serving size, I'd double that at least to 60g to be on the safe size as serving sizes are…

muesli/oat and blueberry pancakes with lemon juice and granulated sweetener sugar free jelly fat free yoghurt with a spoonful of sugar free hot chocolate powder-tastes kind of like cake mix. really nice over strawberries home made ice lollies with sugar free juice and frozen berries cereal with fruit yoghurt or sweetener…

I'd guess that nyctraveller is right. I remember in the past being really confused when dieting to have seemingly lost 3 to 4 pounds one day, and then put it back on in the week even though I was eating far too little. Turns out it was the binge drinking I was doing on a Friday night, meaning I was really dehydrated and…

I used to get a 6 inch BMT on honey oat, with cheese and toasted, and every salad except tomatoes-they take up too much room!) salad here is iceburg lettuce, red onion, gherkins (pickles), jalapeno, cucumber and black olives. And I'd have mayo as my sauce. Now I get a turkey salad bowl with no cheese! unbelievably low…

late to reply but fat free natural yoghurt with a spoonful of sugar free hot chocolate powder mixed in is fat free and very very low in cals. I know sweeteners aren't healthy but if your more bothered by cals like I am atm it's perfect, tastes like cake mix. Really nice with strawberries.

quorn burgers work for me, only 73 cals.

You could cook quorn sausages and hard boiled eggs the night before? Do you hav e an oven or a microwave in work?

Double up when you do cook and then freeze the extra, this is what I do, and I always have something in the freezer for a lazy meal.

I disagree. Did you see on the news last week about the doctor that went on the 'Twinky diet' He just ate chocolate bars and crisps and cake for a few weeks and lost loads of weight, and because of that he became healthier, e.g his blood pressure and cholesterol lowered. Obviously long term this isn't ideal, but short…

just looked at your pictures, you look pretty hot tbf. You don't look like you need to lose any more weight.

I don't really agree with everyone else but I'm no expert. I know everyone will disagree but I think you should stick at no more than 1200 cals. I think the exercise estimates on here are a tad generous, I've used pedometers in the past, and cal trackers on exercise bikes, did tonnes more work and was told I was burning…
