i've never been a massive fast food eater as i have trouble with greasy food, but chocolate has always been my massive downfall. When i was bad i was eating at least 200g of milk chocolate a day on top of fairly healthy eating 3 meals a day diet (i've always eaten fruit and veg). So prob eating around 2000 cal a day and…

I'm in Wales too and have similar goals, feel free to friend me :)

tomorrow i'm having leftover couscous with chargrill veg and lamb meatballs! nom! today i had a 'skinny one' chicken green thai with rice quite often i have sandwiches or my fave of tuna nicose salad

i certainly don't ascribe to lowcarb dieting, however i think many of us eat too many carbs and i try to reduce my carb intake but not avoid.So i try to have only one of my main meals per day with carbs in it. So if i know i'm having pasta for dinner, then lunch will be salad based (brekkie is normally a banana for me) and…

i'm on 1590 aday- 5ft 7"and weigh 210lbs at present i'm friendly and chatty :)

start taking measurements of your vital stats -MFP has an area on your home where you can track this. how about your clothes? does anything feel looser?

i've just worn myself out with gardening for the last 45 mins!

hi Brandon, we have a similar philoshopy towards weight loss. I dont want the same health problems as my Mum! Being slimmer and wearing nice clothes, cool but not the be all/end all!

even little things, like at the start of the week you could easily make a huge pot of vegetable soup for your lunches. Cheap,quick, heatlthy, no preservatives!

Looking at you diary, you def need more fruit and veg - u should try to be healthy as well as slim. Your not noting down water consumption either. And be wary of weightwatchers foods, they are very processed and high in sugar. Good luck :)

i def advocate weighing yourself infrequently. I've been doing it maybe every 10 days and prefer to see a definate 2lb loss rather than the daily fluctuations! friends we are then!

i need to lose 30-40 lbs really, hope thats enough. anyway, i just want to be your friend as you have an awesome profile name!

cook veggies, blend them and add them to sauces! i have to do that to red peppers as i can't digest them, so i chargrill, blend and then add it to tomato sauce for pasta

i would have to disagree a bit with this sentance. When i was a teenager i started to have postural hypertensiopn-dizzy spells on standing-went to the doctor and i had low blood pressure. So he asked how much fluids i drink a day and my reply was 'maybe one glass of squash' . My problem is that i never used to be thirsty!…

yup, but over the years i've cracked what irritates me and basically avoid them! for me it's most dairy (though i'm generally ok with small amounts of hard cheese) and alcohol (the many nightmares i've had with alcohol-night outs stuck in the loos!) Oh, and stress! i also find peppermint tea is a great anti spasmodic

a vegetarian doesn't eat meat of any type! back to the topic- i imagine bean salad is a good one. Veggie chilli is good and tasty-we use quorn mince and beans plus loads of veggies-healthy and tasty!

i suffer with acid reflux/indegestion/heart burn/etc. Expert advice is usually small frequent meals. Only other thing is that you maybe over doing the water , as i find sometimes that triggers my acid. Sounds like a trip to the drs is probably good tho x

don;t forget though about the high acid content of fizzy drinks which knackers your tooth enamel!

i was arguing (not too heated tho) with a work colleague yesterday about this. Shes very lovely and well meaning person but her telling me that i dont need to lose weight really wound me up! i explained that actually my bmi is obese, i am at least 3 stone (32lbs) overweight and struggle to wear a UK size 18 -so YES! i do…

have you ever had tuna nicose? it's a slice of heaven and low cal. Recipes are available online easily, but it basically is tuna, lettuce, olives, green beans, boiled egg quatered and vinagrette dressing and tomatos.

When you say starting out again, I assume you lost weight previously ,put it back on and now are trying again? If so, then we should be friends! I lost 14lbs last year on mfp but gradually got into bad habits but I'm back again! I try not to focus on the negatives but look ay how well I did before which proves that I can…

I'm apple, which is horrible as I have a really thick waist and is also bad for your health if you're overweight like me

Total transformation, you look super and tiny. Do you honestly need to lose another 14lbs? I ask as you look really small already and you maybe struggling are you dont actually need to lose anymore

Beans! I never used to eat beans until I met my chap whos veggie and now I love them!

your before picture is like looking in a mirror for me. Same rolls of fat! i think i need to get my butt into gear :)

i'm a massive fan of camping but it has to be a simple quiet campsite. I love the peace and fresh air of camping. There's a campsite i go to in Wales that is just a field with a basic toilet block. But it's surrounded by trees, right in the middle of nowhere and has a stream running alongside it -it's literally a piece of…

ooh, i'm in Wales, UK
