Thanks Sara. As soon as I get my strength training programme I'll have a think about my schedule and where I can make some changes to it.

I do love those classes! They are important to me as I easily fall into bad eating habits, where I don't eat or eat very little for days. These classes help me emotionally with my eating habits as I feel happy about eating while I know I'm burning lots of calories. I am happy to do more strength work after these classes;…

120 lb would be my long term goal, but I know that will take a while! I would be thrilled with 126 as a short term goal (9 stone for my English mind!). I want to continue to develop muscle definition - I have recently started lifting fairly heavy weights (and been doing Body Pump for nearly a year), so with the help of a…

4 weeks ago I was 131 lbs. It went up to 132 lbs, but this morning I am 129.4 so overall in 4 weeks I've lost nearly 2 lbs. Thanks to both of you for looking at my post!

Can't believe I've never tried it before!! Have you ever frozen it to eat another time? If it freezes well, it will solve all my dessert cravings!!!

Wow, I could have written exactly that about me! My full TDEE is 2392, but since I started 4 weeks ago I've eaten at 1900. In those weeks I've put on 3 pounds taking me up to 132, which I'm trying really hard not to stress about. Going to give it 2 more weeks and seek out further advice. Like you, was scared to go to TDEE,…

I'm in the uk and I love the light mini baby bels. They are 40cals per 20g serving, and eat them as they are or you could grate one (or 2!) for pizza. I love to eat mine with a teaspoon of peanut butter on top!

I just boil up my cauliflower for 10-15 mins, drain the water away and mash it. I divide it into 100g portions and freeze, and take it out as needed. Let it defrost overnight, minute and a half in the microwave, stir in 30g of Philadelphia (I use a soya cheddar spread), and 30 secs and thats it! I love it, and really feels…

Manchester too :-)

Thank you for posting this, had seen the cherry bakewell and was tempted, but now I'm definitely going to get some! Love cherry :-)

Thank you again for your advice, I really appreciate it.

Here goes...... TDEE journey starts today! 1900 cals on heavy work out days (1000 cal burn) 1700 cals on lower workout days (500-600 burn) 1600 on non workout day. Going to be very difficult to stick to it if I see the scale going up, but I can see from here how successful it has been for others, thanks so much for your…

Thank you so much! I love this site - so many helpful people with real, practical advice :-) will I expect to see a weight increase initially as I change to 1900 cals? I'm guessing I will.

The strength training is in the Body Pump classes, and in the gym. It seems like a lot as for a couple of years I was eating 1200 a day, and upped to 1600 in around Sept/Oct 2012 because of the amount I burn at the gym. So it was a big deal for me to eat the 1600 initially although I understood the concept of eating more,…

Hi everyone, thank you in advance for any advice! I've been eating 1600 cal per day and found that weight loss is stalling - seem to be losing and gaining the same 4 or 5 pounds. I'm 5ft5, and I currently weigh 130 pounds. Each week I do 1 circuit training (approx 350 cals burned), 3 Les Mills Body Combat classes (approx…

I'm from Manchester

Mine is open to friends, happy to be added

Hi everyone! I log on everyday, find it a massive help tracking the calories I eat, and stops me from reaching for those snacks! Looking to lose a few pounds before the summer holidays :-)

Mine is open too

I tried freezing one of the Aero mousse to have as ice cream - delicious!

I love the Aero biscuits - 99 calls each. I've recently discovered the Aero Mousse flavours too - Milk choc, Mint and White Choc, all around the 100 cal mark
