From looking at today, I'd say you are getting too many calories from carbs and sugar. I agree on upping your protein. On exercise, I can't help, sorry :)

We had 'garlic shrimp' tonight, with stir-fry veg. Very quick and simple and around 250 cals / serving, with almost no carbs. These amounts are for two servings: Ingredients - 450g/1lb defrosted, uncooked, king prawns, one head of garlic, two teaspoons of paprika, chilli flakes (or ground mixed pepper), a pack of stir-fry…

Eating exercise calories is just a go-ahead to eat if you are hungry from all that exercise. There's no need to force yourself to do it, but a little extra calories from exercise can be handy sometimes.

Welcome to the site. If your husband is also on here then that's good as you can help each other. :) My wife and I are both on here an have dropped 50 lbs between us since we started 12 weeks ago.

Did you really start at 210 and get to that photo? 0.0 WOW!!

That's true, though it begs the question: If you are still losing quickly but are near your goal, should you actually keep going until it's hard to lose more?

How many calories have you been eating?

No, and if I'm under calories I am happy as I will lose more weight.

Mine has been at 1200 since I started and it seems to work well. I'm not starved all the time but I do need to be careful what I eat in terms of calories. I've lost about 2lbs a week since starting.

Welcome to MFP. You sound like you have a good attitude to things and I'm sue you'll do well :)

Vodka + soda/diet coke? http://www.nutracheck.co.uk/calories/calories_in_alcohol/calories_in_vodka.html

Far from it :)

biig bump (hence why I need to know this)

My wife and I both weigh each night and tell each other the result.

I'm guessing rotflmao won't cut it then? :)

Well done and congrats :)

I made a rather amazing (if I do say so myself) fish stew the other day. It was really easy and only about 180cals per cup serving. Here is the link http://www.kitchenparade.com/2003/03/tiapinno-herbed-fish-stew.php I used haddock and king prawns and cooked it in my biggest pan. It was so good we had the rest for lunch the…

Is there any particular type of noodles that are the best to go for when eating japanese?

I just had some Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie frozen yogurt. Does that count?

I wish we could get low cal wraps here :(

If you were getting muscle cramps too, it could well be potassium.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This!

As long as you have been to the bathroom or not, whichever you normally do, the difference will likely be less than a couple of ounces/50g.

I agree with the hiding. You can finely chop carrot, onion and mushroom and make bolegnese or similar with 50:50 meat to veg mix and you won't even notice the veg.

Eating fatty foods makes you fat, eh? Who would have thought?

We had garlic king prawns with stir-fry veg. Super easy and less than 200 cals!

This.

You definitely have the legs for them!

I take it that's your weight in pounds? And how big is a glass? :)

Mine is open too. Add me if you like.
