My favourite was 'walking to and from work doesn't count as your body is used to it'. Yes, that's right Weight Watchers, that 70 minute power walk doesn't burn any calories whatsoever. Rightio.

THIS.

And it makes a calorie allowance go so much further.

I like this calculator, it's very simple. It's got my BMR at 1318 and my TDEE (desk job) as 1581. I walk for my commute to and from work every day (6.5 - 8 km) so I set my calories at around 1850 to cover that. If I do a run during the week I try to eat back those calories, but rarely eat them all. I'd say my numbers are…

You're pretty much the same height/age/weight as me and I am STUCK at plateau and have been since the start of March, and I was undereating too. I've been upping my calories by 100 per week (so I'm averaging around the 1650 mark now) in hopes that the scales will move one way or another soon (nothing as of yet, I shall…

100 a week. Will do. Thank you.

I lost 5st on 'old' WW 10 years ago, so I know it's not all to blame (I never put the weight back on either), the onus here is on me; I'M the one not eating enough and that's why I'm asking for advice. And yes, on 'new' WW (as I call it) I ate all my weeklies and dailies. Like I said, my problem now is my appetite, not my…

I'm 5ft 6, I walk 4 miles a day, run once a week and weightlift. I'm surprised my body still works right now on 1200 cals.

Again, Weight Watchers brain fog, I would never thought of going back to full fat cheese and butter, but that does make sense. (I'm allergic to cows milk, hence all the soya/almond/coconut milks and yoghurts). I've already made a promise to my husband (who is rather concerned) that if there's no improvement within a couple…

Oh, I will be going steady on the increases, believe me. Most days lunch is a daunting task!

Like Dragonnade above, the symptoms usually put me right off. I'm very allergic to cow's milk (proteins go straight through stomach lining, body thinks it's an infection, tries to attack it, very poorly Alex for a few days) but I've learned that if I boil it I can get away with adding it to my diet. Fine for when you're…

I know, right?! I come on here once a month a do a few days of diary, my calories swing between 1100 - 1600 per day but my macros are always around the same, which is what is helping me lose weight, it's not just all about the calories for me, but the stuff within them.

I follow WW ProPoints, I bought a starter pack from eBay for a tenner and the Value Diary from the App Store (iPhone) for £1.99, which calculates everything for you. Weighing in at my house is free. Simples.

How nice to find a Vintage Points group! I'm an old-school WW enthusiast, I've had amazing results on plan and I'm looking to just shift the little bit I've gained from not being on plan for the last 2 years. All motivation greatly welcomed! Lots of info about my on my profile, including a link to my blog.

This is exactly why I've gone back to the Paul McKenna CD this week. I was getting very stressed out about my weight and when I've used his CD in the past it's just chnaged my mindset and outlook entirely. It just instils confidence in me. It's wonderful. I realise it's not for everyone (and hypnosis will not work if…

I used the CD religiously in 2007, it made a huge difference to my mindset, it made my diet and exercise seem really effortless and easy. I was a lot more confident about my body image too. I found it so beneficial. As with most hypnotic offerings, it will only work if you're open to the suggestion. I found it easier to…

Guys, I'm desperate for some motivation and accountability. Please add me and keep me in line!

I've switched to 40/30/30 over the last week and as much as I feel like it's a lot of carbs, it really does depend on what you eat. Mine all come from cereals, fruit, veggies, very little bread products, no pasta, no white rice etc. I don't feel all bloated and heavy with it, I feel like I've just got a good balance. On…

The cold that's going around (which my boss referred to as 'that 48 hour thing') lasted 10 days for me. I barely moved during that time, all I could think about was going out running. I did finally feel healthy enough to run yesterday, and I don't feel hideous for it today. Just rest up and get it out of your system. Then…

This is the most entertaining thread in the forum today.

Which app?

Well done!

That stuff is so good that it shouldn't be allowed. I can easily get through a jar of that a week! I'm a total nut butter junkie, I eat it every day and it's not had any repercussions on my weight loss. I eat low-carb, so my fats are a lot of my fuel. I love Artisana Coconut Butter and I get through a lot of Cashew butter…

Anyone is welcome to friend me, I'd love to see more food diaries for inspiration. :)

I've totally lost all interest in porridge, pasta and potatoes. I feel like someone has played with my mind! I had a weekend totally off plan last weekend and I was amazed how I felt. I didn't feel bloated or icky, but one thing I did notice is that as soon as I had some starchy foods (I had a chicken pizza for dinner one…

I didn't do one of my lifting sessions during the Attack phase, but I did do kettlebells at home, otherwise I would have gone mad!

When you put it like that it doesn't sound as scary. Dinner is usually around 8pm in my house so that would mean 11am breakfasts. Oh, that's not too bad at all. Have you noticed any other benefits of intermittent fasting?

Well done, guys! These are som great numbers! I wish I could encourage my husband to have a go at this plan too, the man is ruled by refined carbs and sugars!

I'm always so curious about intermittent fasting. I'd love to give it a go, but I get so grumpy when I'm hungry! I have to cardio everyday (as my walk to and from work is over an hour in total) and I'm weight training twice a week (on PV days). I'm not gaining, I've still kept everything off that I lost on Attack, so I'm…

Guys. I had a weekend totally off plan as I was away with the girls for 3 days - eeek! I'm back alternating PP & PV days this week to get myself back on track - so far there's been no repercussions from my slightly higher carbs! As of yet, I've not lost a thing since I've been on Cruise. Hopefully the next two weeks will…
