This ratatouille is seriously amazeballs. I usually reduce the oil... but it is pretty much just veg but tastes incredible! http://healthyrecipes.wikia.com/wiki/Tamara%27s_Ratatouille

pre plan what I can have for the rest of the day... even if it means over shooting my goal a little.

Yeah definitely NOT confit duck!

Thanks so much for your help! I will definitely consider pad thai if I am feeling a little naughty and a soup if I feel like being less naughty. The place I am going does some seriously amazing salads ... but for some reason my brain doesn't like the idea of salads for dinner, and I would just end up getting something…

Have you tried coconut water? I find that really refreshing and depending on the brand, can be as low as 8 calories /100 ml. Not calorie free, but still pretty low considering how amazing it is!

London UK! (BUT originally Sydney Australia!)

Hi! Im also on 1200 and very active! I get so friggen hungry some times. I work out loads just so I can eat more lol. I love having more people for support! Feel free to add. Leah

Hi! I am 26 from london! I have lost 40 pounds and have another 10 ish to go! I am very active ( i log in every day and log everything I eat etc) and would love to meet more active friends! Especially onces with real diaries! Not onces where everything in the log sounds like a chemistry experiment. Add me! Leah

Hahaha... its like you are me! I am 5"4 and I also put on 40 pounds afew years ago!

Hi! I love the phone app! That is how I started to! I added you! Leah

I asked my friend about this who has a degree in sport and nutrition science and apparently if you dont eat them back you are going to do damage. You will loose weight fast, but put the pounds back on when you stop. A calorie deficit is how you loose weight... but it needs to be a sustainable healthy difference. I.e. 1500…

https://www.revital.co.uk/shops Apparently they are all over London...

There is a good little shop opposite belsize park tube that sells all that stuff. If you are ever up that way I would recommend them!

What is wrong with low fat mayo? Saves my life!

Check online first... but if that is a no go... or everything is massively calorific then I just go for the non--creamiest, non fried-est thing on the menu, or salad without dressing (yes I am that person). I have also claimed to be lactose intolerant so that I could get pizza without cheese ... hehehe.

I use a lot of fruit (boring I know), weight watchers yogurts, fage greek yogurt with berries, muesli bars (if im going to work out), light hot chocolate, sometimes a diet desert. I love my sweets.

For low calorie recipes: www.skinnytaste.com - it will change your life. I guarentee the recipes taste amazing. You wont even know you are eating healthy, balanced meals!

I also broke my plateu at zumba!

I do classes and I friggen love them. I have never met so many people who have lost a bucket load of weight than people at zumba classes. I think you need a good high energy instructor. Some of them are less good than others and you really don't feel like you did anything with your body. I have been doing them 3 times a…

You have put in something wrong along the line... bmi is usually in the 20 - 60 zone.

Feel free to add me! I have been here for two years... had ups and downs to.

Yeah, It sounds abit rediculous to cut out fruit in a low calorie diet because it is making you fat. You are meant to loose weight slowly, its the healthy way to loose it. id say the sneaky icecream would do more damage (oh wait thats me).

I am 26, you are welcome to add me if you like!

I moved from Australia to london 3 months ago and fell off the wagon :(. The change in lifestyle completely distroyed my exercise routine and killed my diet. I gained back 5 kg of the 11 I had lost. Happy to say that I am back on the wagon as of 5 days ago... :D good bye excess belly jelly!

There is no quick fix solution to weight-loss! Eat healthy, control your portion size, and exercise - that is the only way to go.
