If your not hungry then the first place you should probably start is understanding why your eating. Are you eating out of boredom? or emotion, or is it just a habit like the eating on the sofa after dinner? Once you understand why write down some strategies on how to cope. What are you going to do instead of eating on the…

I don't think the setting is meant to include deliberate exercise, that gets tracked and the calories added on then. I work out 4-5 days a week but have a desk jobs so I have mine set to sedentary. So I guess you would be the one up from that (cant think what that is off the top of my head). The is my interpretation from…

hahah its soooo punny!

The fiber in fruit and veg helps your body process the sugar however you can still overdo it in the fruit department. I try to stick to 2 serves of fruit max and even just with that I am always over my sugar limit :grumble:. Everyone has a different opinion on suagar but I find that if I control enough to keep it under…

Nothing is wrong with you, dress sizes are tricky things, for starters they vary from store to store because shops use them as a form of marketing (think about it, you try on one dress in one store and then one dress in another, the second one is a smaller size on the tag but a bit more exensive, you will probably buy it…

Shake diets a fine for fast weight loss but if you get to the end of it and dont make some permianant changes your just going to put it back on. (Been there done that, it sucks) They also are not great in terms of nutritional quality and when I used them I got very board very quickly.

As a very general guideline, your workout should challange you without killing you. Jillian's DVD's and Insanity are probably not the best starting point :wink:. Maybe try a simple all over body strength routine with some light weights and walking. You could also start with Yoga to bulid up strength without the crazy…

I like chia seeds and there are plenty of pros to including them. I haven't noticed changes in my energy that I would attribute to them alone. I like to add them to smoothies too, and sometimes my porridge. They are also good in salads. The only thing I dont like about them is that they are higher in calories then assumed…

At the risk of starting one of those never ending arguments on weight loss and nutrition. I have to ask if you have ever had you metabolisim checked? Everyone hits a platue at some point because your body gets used to functioning with a smaller energy intake however it does this by slowing down your metabolisim. If you…

1200 is pretty much the aboluste minimum your body needs to function. Everyones Base metabolic rate (BMR) is different and you can find a calculator for it in the tools section on this website. Basicaly that will tell you approximatley how many calories your body burns a day with no extra effort on your part. These…

:laugh: Personaly I don't drink diet soft drinks, particualrly coke because I don't think the amount of chemicals and processing that goes into it are good for you. That said if coke is a bit of a must have for you then diet over normal is better for weight loss, maybe try reducing your intake slowly.

My favourite sources of vegan treats are blogs. Try "Chocolate covered katie" "Oh She Glows" and "My new roots". They have heeps of recipies :)

You body does burn more calories when you are cold enough that your shivering, it expends the energy to try and warm you up. That said, I don't think it's enough of a difference to warrant a significant increase in calories, if anything take advantage of the help! If getting cold is a problem for you layer up and eat lots…

Jillian actually has her own weight loss tracking app, it has all her dvds in the exercise tracking section so I use it litteraly just to track my calories from her workouts and then enter something with the same calories! Such great workouts! I reccomend killer buns and thighs if you dont mind not being able to walk the…

this happened to me, it might not acutally be your cups size that changed but your back size which completley changes the way your bra fits! I went and got fitted and went down a back size but up a cup size because the actual size of my boobs didnt change!

I'm such a chocoholic! you can find lots of online recipies for chocolate based foods to help with cravings without the fat and sugar. I reccomend checking out chocolate covered Katies blog, she has a recipe for making your own sugar free chocolate bar. You can also use chocolate flavoured protien powder to make protein…
