I have done weightwatchers for years, and I like the fact that fruit can be eaten throughout the day within reason. I am finding on mfp I use all my calories, but am not eating the required 5 portions of fruit and veg a day. I decided to try my fitness pal because my weight loss stalled on weightwatchers, and I needed…

Thank you:smile:

Thank you for your reply, it made a lot of sense. As I love avocados, oily fish such as salmon and nuts, I would rather eat the foods than buy full fat dairy. I have lots of teas and coffees throughout the day, and add milk to them, so I think I might have about 250 ml a day of semi skimmed milk.

Thank you for replying. I love avocados and use olive oil in my cooking. So will continue to buy skimmed dairy and up my intake of avocados, nuts etc. Just another question I love carbs and tend to go over my allowance. Will this slow my weight loss down.

Hello everyone hope you are all enjoying the weekend. On the table there were some Bounty chocolate bars, staring me in the face. They were speaking to me saying 'please eat me' ........

Hello everyone. Today was voting day, and as usual I was multi tasking. Food shopping in the morning. Then my daughter and granddaughter popped in. I was going to vote when they went. As soon as they left, we had an awful storm and heavy rain. I wondered if it was an omen. Maybe whoever it was didn't want me to go. After…
