Today I made egg/banana pancakes for breakfast...yummy. And I just roasted chickpeas for snacks later!! Now that I'm trying to hit a protein target I realise how little protein I was eating!!

Resurrecting this thread as I need fasting buddies too!! I'm doing 5:2 with three days at 1600 Cals added and not counting at weekends (but being mindful of portions etc). Last week was my first week and I lost 4lbs - expect it to slow down from now on. I've done 5:2 in the past and love the flexibility - you can add an…

I also need to lose 100lbs...doing it by January would be awesome but would be happy with half that. I also really hate going out and it takes so much to force myself out - it's not so bad once I'm out but I have to block everything out so I don't start thinking too much! Celticmedic - that's an amazing achievement! You…

Hi! I'm not bipolar but have suffered from depression in the past. On my good days I would write lists of achievable things to do on my really bad days. The lists were really small things like eat something that isn't toast, go outside for 5 minutes, shower. I then just had to motivate myself to pick one list on my bad…

I have a tendency to binge so am doing intermittent fasting as I've found it helps me focus on the calorie cost of the foods I binge on. Is there a trigger for your binging...could you try distracting yourself - Write a letter, knitting, colouring. If it helps you can send me a message when you feel like binging.

Hi! I'm 39 and a stay at home mum. I wanted to use my time at home to lose weight etc but so far I've only gained (lost and gained a few times actually). Currently 271lbs and want to get to 170. I'm 5ft4 and will reassess my goal once I get to 170! I'd love to connect to people who have similar amounts to lose. I know I…

Thanks guys! I know some of my entries are a bit generic so could be a bit inaccurate...I do try to estimate over but know I'll need to get tighter with that! Thanks for link!! All I ever hear from breastfeeding mums is how it helped them lose baby weight...but this is obviously not happening for me. I have a (mildly)…

Hi! I'm a new mum (7 wks old) and have about 70lbs to lose. I wish I could say its a result of pregnancy but I'm actually back to pre pregnancy weight. I've always been overweight but am ready this time to finally sort myself out!!

Hi! I'm aiming initially for 70lbs and will see then. Need serious motivation and would love to have friends who have similar ants to lose...going to send friend request!

Thanks! I'm ready to do a lot of work...on both exercise and diet. I think I will give myself 9 weeks and see how far along I am.

Thanks! Have changed settings and will look for new mums group :)

Thanks for response! I have over 50lbs to lose...so, a lot!! Breastfeeding burns up to 500 calories a day...you add it in as a food at -500 calories and it increases your daily calorie allowance. I have 1550 a day but if I add breastfeeding I have 2050. I just think when I add exercise on top of that I will never be able…

You can have excuses or results - you can't have both!
