Thanks to everyone who tried to give me genuine advice, I appreciate it. However I just want to say I have of COURSE spoken to my doctor!!! I'm not an idiot. And to the person who asked very rudely why I havnt addressed my diet...I have! I lost a huge amount of weight prior to my pregnancy and that was a really judgemental…

I realised my goal isn't actually that great. Sure, its 42lb less than my original weight, but its still on the edge of healthy/overweight BMI and actually i want better for myself. So yeah...i guess for me it was a bit of an anti-climax!

Theres a bunch of ways you can try to control yourself...BUT i have to say i have the same problem and its taken years and years for me to get it to a point where SOMETIMES i can control myself, maybe, if i really try hard. To be honest the best advice i can give (and this is what i did) is if there is a food you cant…

I dont understand the science of this BUT i have experienced it. Was on strict calorie controlled diet for like 3 months, then i went on holiday and ate a load of crap...i mean i didn't binge or anything but i wasn't counting calories...and i know i ate much more then i should of. Cake, scones, party food, eating out a…

Well, iv eaten at 1500 for a week and I've levelled out again to my lowest weight so far...147, which is great because at least I know I havnt gained anything. Looking forward to seeing how it goes from here...hopefully I can continue my loss from here ... Cheers ladies!

"It doesnt matter because i dress well" "Im curvy and classically woman shape" "People should accept me for me...no matter how i look (or how ill i was making myself)" "Im too stressed/ depressed/ busy...i will lose weight but just not right now" "Life is too short to diet" - i mean seriously wtf was that about...life is…

THIS. Well done, you look awsome.

I just wanna add that i was just like you last year...i ate a super health nutrition filled vegan,amazing, all organic, flying, magic diet...and i didn't understand why i was gaining weight. I didn't believe in calorie counting. Then i started counting calories and realised i was eating over 3000 cals a day!! Really hope…

Keep going. Just keep going. Trying as hard as you can never made anyone gain weight. Trying contains zero calories. I had a similar thing recently...i was feeling upset and unwell so i just gave up for a moment...it happens to us all and theres nothing wrong with you that made you eat that stuff, you're just a human being…

Cut the shakes...they're not good for you and they don't fill you up properly. Either you've put on water from the exercise or your eating too much, rabbitjb is correct - you cannot out-exercise a poor diet. Try counting your cals to the absolute exact amount for say...3 days. I bet you'll be surprised how many cals you're…

I don't control them! If i really really crave something that badly, i eat it. Mostly, i'm a good girl for the rest of the month so eating what i want/need during that time isn't such a big deal. Although, i try not to let myself to go too out of control...like if i crave cake, i eat some cake...but i don't go and eat…

Fresh fish (freeze it) . M&s count on us/balanced for you range of ready meals. grapes..Good for snacking. Ready mixed salad from supermarket, stir fry mixes...really quick dinner. Fajita kits are good, and frozen veggie burgers. I hope that helps a bit! Xx

Thanks everyone! I certainly wouldn't say I used food as comfort today...I just kinda gave up and lost all my enthusiasm. I just thought "oh whatever..."...but yeah...let's get over it. I'm done. Tomorrow is a new day :D Thank you for your support xxx

Love This. Totally true. Xx

Hello :) that's awesome that you have support in your co worker! Personally I tryed raw till 4, I also tried going 100% raw for 30 days. I lasted till day 3. I think there is something to be said for Rae food but my advice would be that if you wanna lose weight and get the benefits of raw food,just sub one meal...maybe…

YES!!! I've been so good recently but today I just went crazy...I'm actually on fertility treatment at the mo so my hormones are going crazy but it's basically just major pms.... I literally just ate nutella out the jar with a spoon all day, had a big cooked breakfast, carb heavy lunch, nutella and peanut butter sandwich…

Thanks every one. I've made the decision to adjust my cals to 1500. This had always been the most sustainable calorie amount for me. I guess only time will tell how that works out...I'm hoping that after the initial 1 or 2 pound "gain" I will start slowly losing again. If not, I'l know that if I wanna lose that extra…

35..another 5 or 10 to go...depending on how motivated I'm feeling haha

Wow....I forgot I posted this. I just wanted to say that I have since lost 2 and a half stone (or 35lb) and have stopped binging. A binge for me now is like....2 Oreos and a slice of toast or something haha. I feel fantastic, and I fit most if my old clothes now. Most importantly though, I told my fiance everything. I gave…

I'd be interested in this also...I've previously stuck to 1500 to lose, then I got over keen and dropped to 1200 but now I wish I'd stayed at 1500!! I ate 1500 yesterday and gained a pound :( x

Wow....I love all your replies. It's so motivational to me to read them all and it reminds me why I'm here and all the many many positive reasons why we are putting in the effort. Thanks everyone...keep em coming!! Xxx

Hey!! Yes! I have TERRIBLE pcos...my ovaries are train wreck and I have all the symptoms, including gaining 3 stone in a year last year. I recently lost 2 and a half stone since last Xmas so in 3 or 4 months . I did it by simply reducing my cals to 1500 and walking a bit more. I did my cut any food groups or reduce my…

I wouldn't eat at a deficit. Don't punish yourself, it's not healthy and breads unhealthy relationships with food and your body. Forgive yourself, laugh about it if you can and just continue where you left off. Drink lots of water and go for a nice long walk to refresh yourself. Don't weigh for a few days. In fact I'd…

Interesting...have you had success losing this way? Do you mind sharing a typical week of cycling cals so I can see how it's done? Xx

Tha Yes I think your right. I think I'm just reacting to my fear of going back to my old weight. I think it might be a good idea to do that. After all its better to eat 1500 cals and maintain and return to those last 5lb when I'm ready than it would be to binge and mess it all up. Nice metaphor :) To the other poster, yes…

Thanks yeah I have considered IF...I like the idea of it but I'm a bit scared of it not working and of me ruining my hard work by eating over my usual calories on my non fast days...I'm such a pansy haha. Also not sure it's safe when trying for a baby, which I am. Definitely will look into that tho,thank you! Xx

Thanks everyone. I guess rereading my post it does sound kinda stupid...I think I'm just panicking. I do understand what maintenance means.....I'm just worried that when I move to maintain levels I will gain weight. And I'm worried I am going to go insane on 1200 cals. I excersise as much as I can for my lifestyle and…

Hey all, I've been on here a while but have recently decided I really could use some supportive friends on here to keep me going! Add me if you wanna do this together :)

HanaThorne....your reply really hit home with me. To be honest its just really nice hearing that im not the only person who has done this. I have been struggling to discuss these things with my partner, but he obviously knows something is wrong as i'm just crying all the time. Since my original post the situation has…
