It's extremely easy to over consume almost all of it... I think I'll keep logging for a bit and see how it pans out.

I think basically filling up on veg, fruit meat,fish and weighing cheese/milk, fibre rich foods - pulses, cereals whole meal bread. The syns are pretty much anything processed. In theory if you follow the plan the calories should look after themselves...

Me too I'm back got a really tough month with the holidays and birthdays coming up but can't afford to put any more weight on so have to start actively losing!!! Feel free to add me xx

Hi. Yes everything has been weighed out in my kitchen I put my plate/bowl on the scales and zero after every item nothing has gone in my mouth that hasn't been planned for in advance including cheat night - I even weighed out wine!!! Including my fast day and cheat day I average out at 1000-1100. I'm not normally so…

Bump x

I didn't really do anything in January it was after Christmas and the weight just fell off after I stopped eating Christmas food! I drink about 2 litres a day of water and have stopped all diet pop which I used to drink loads of.

fantastic well done - you must so very proud x

don't panic - maybe keep saying to yourself just hold out to friday - i promise it gets easier with time but you have to give yourself some time to adjust - good luck

15 min jog followed by 30 mins strength training with 15 swim this morning - then a 5 mile walk with friends followed with a nice cup of tea - now doing a night duty!!

hi 34 here, didn't think of myself as old until i saw the 30 - 40 bracket now i'm panicking slightly would love any friends that will help me on my way to a thinner, healthier middle age!!

lol i like that!!!

mines open and dont get offended very easily so feel free to add me and tell me what ever i need telling!! i welcome it!! but remember i will also be watching you!! x

i was looking the the same sort of information i think your own bodyweights would be a good starting point... squats and lunges if its possible to get something like jillian michaels 30 day shred is pretty cheap and that has a lot of what your looking for in it, i have it at home and was great for building strengh - good…

trust me when i say i know exactly what you mean... i am 34 years old and had never eaten a veg in my life but this last 3 months i have tried sooo many new things that i just wouldn't have before. i started with adding the tiniest bit of salad to my sandwhichs and i mean teeny tiny then increased it over time i would…

i just bought lentils this weekend and was wandering what to do with them and now i know!!! thanks

more importantly whys he looking for pictures like that lol :laugh:

mmm not sure what to say... my first thought is "*kitten*" he shouldn't put you down for a) being bigger in the first place and then b) for doing something about it. but then my next thought is that men don't seem to have a connection from their brain to their mouth so he might not have meant it as mean as it sounded. you…

welcome back... this is my first step into getting back on the wagon myself, I've really struggled with the kids being at home on there summer break and family holidays. There always seem to be something in a few days that stops me from starting again... but I will so if you want to add me that would be cool... when I'm on…

grammacarol - i would say about 8!!! love the costume though!!

I don't even know what "I don't think you're built to be slim" is supposed to mean?!? what a stupid thing to say :mad: and how rude... your going to have to ignore that one and focus on all the positive comments. everyone is built to be slim and healthy with no exception and their just going to have to get used to the new…

completely with you on this one ive got so far into my rut i cant even log... trying to get some kind of motivation to start again and am really frustrated at failing again - but i will get back on to it and i will get there eventually just like you will. keep plodding on and i promise i will too!! we can get back on track…

no idea if this works but i'll give it a go... the first is what i was at about 200lb just before i got pregnant with my 4th the second is after said pregnancy about 280lb the last is me now at 243lb long way to go yet!! i dont know what i've done wrong with pics arrghh

what about some linen trousers from next - they deliver and arn't that expensive and they come in black and white - and either long or cropped - you could team these up with almost anything. good luck in your finals x

i can see mine if i don't wear a bra does that count?!?
