I'm with you really try for the 8 but its normally 5 and I don't drink any other stuff like milk or fizzy drinks and only have 1 cup of tea a day??

Scales do have a point but don't depend on them go with how you look and look also

I'm in Ireland we just call them "Marshmallow Twists" I love them like you said 2 or 3 totally satisfy a sweet craving moment. Should have tried to remember that tonight when the Chocolate M&M came a calling and I could not say no!!! :laugh:

Height: 5 feet, 8 inches Weight: 128 pounds Your BMI is 19.5, indicating your weight is in the Normal category for adults of your height. For your height, a normal weight range would be from 122 to 164 pounds. Information from a calculator on CDC website

I make my own its quite zingy but I like that you could always add a small amount of sugar if its to strong?? 1tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 41 Calories 1tsp Wholegrain Mustard - 7 Calories 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar - 11 Calories Total = 59 This does for one salad which is really good as you can see its the Olive Oil in most…

I want to lose 14lbs and I only have 1lb to go its taken me 6.5 weeks being mega strict/clean on food always just under 1200 per day and walking between 40-60 mins every day to lose 13lb. First 3 weeks lost the most and its slowed down alot since then. So in theory you should be able to get to 10lb or very close good luck.

After its cooked top with some red pesto and sliced parmensan cheese and then grill til the cheese has melted yummmy!! Oh green pesto works too. Or Also when cooked spread with some low fat soft cream cheese & chives and top with breadcreams and grill til crumbs begin to brown. Both super quick and easy

Thanks everyone have done alot of checking on line and have decided on the following for dinner:- Chinese Take Away - Boiled Rice, 260 g Chinese Takeaway - Chicken and Cashews, 500 g Total calories = 943 (WOW) I am going with the boiled rice as suggested and would love to say I'm only going to eat half the dinner but I…

Thanks guy lots of great ideas going to get out the menu now and do a little thinking. Also great idea to ask for the sauce on the side doing that for sure!!

I'm Irish and I've been able to find all my foods in the database for Lidl, Aldi and Tesco's, there might be more American people here (not sure though) but plenty of others as well

Don't know about running but I try and walk ever day for between 40 and 60 minutes.

That's such a wonderful idea well done you

I haven't drunk vodka since I was in my twenties but I did love it then!! Off out the weekend also guess its time to revisit vodka thanks guys

You can go on crazy diets or extreme calorie counting and lose weight fast but it a false loss because as soon as you stop it will all go back on and sometimes more. Slow steady weight loss with a review of the food you eat is the way to go. Try and stay positive. If you want you can set your food dairy up to be view by…

I hadn't thought of that but yes there is really tasty food out there if you just take the time to look for it and make it

Saw the May post get the idea now!!! My names Lisa and I'm from Ireland hoping to lose my final 4lbs this month, I really got back into the walking since last week so want to keep that up to and walk everyday or at the very least every other day

Thursday as thats the day I started MFP and I try to stick to once a week but often hear the scales calling!!!

Likewise I'm from Ireland what do we do??

I read your profile and your reasons for losing weight are inspiring your mother is lucky to have you and your husband needs a good kicking I'm afraid and anyone else who is negitive. Ignor them and prove them wrong I have sent you a friend request and would be only to happy to help and support - good luck lisa

Not sure about the dips you listed but this one below is healthy enough and I always have dips with raw carrott and cucumber sticks:- 1 tub Low Fat Cottage Cheese 1 tub Low Fat Sour Cream 1 Pot Low Fat Natural Yoghurt 2 Packets of Onion Sauce Mix Just mix it all together its really yummy and serve in little bowls so you…

Throwing in the towel is the easy answer, the better stronger answer is to forget about it and today is a new day and get back on track. Maybe have a long walk or some other sort of excerise to feel better. I had 3 BBQ's over the weekend and I over ate at everyone but that was the weekend and I have been back on tract…

Do no harm to check out things with doctor, but everyone has pretty much said what I was thinking when I looked at your diary cut out the junk and add more water be vert strict on yourself as I test for maybe 2 weeks stay under you calories excerise and you don't have to eat back all excerise calories and I bet you would…

It looks good to me don't forget to log your excerise didn't see it added to your calories on the day you had the protein shake good luck

I'm certinal no expert but looking at your diary I would say watch your carbs keep them in the green and try to get up to 1,200 each day in your calories. If you can do that then I wouldn't stress to much about eating back any excerise calories. Looking at some of the sugary items i.e weetos bar its say's carbs 0 and a…

I agree don't buy the snacks if you can, if like me you have to get some for the hubby have an extra walk on Saturday evening to gain yourself some extra calories?? Or log onto MFP just to check out the calories on what your thinking of eating and you will see its soooo not worth it. I found the first 2 weekends really…

Hi I'm from Ireland and I've three friends who are too my name's Lisa and I live in Wexford joined this site nearly a month ago and just love it its like a free weightwatchers online but better I'll send you a friend request and we can motivate each other

First of if you can go "Brown" brown bread, brown rice, brown paste all with wholewheat much better for you. For dinners I eat alot of fish simple to cook, low in calories and really good for you also chicken breasts I normally eat these with a nice green leaf salad plenty of tomatoes, cucumber etc. Hope this helps

I know I think its brilliant I mean why would you pay Weight Watchers when this is so brilliant and so free!! Best of luck on your journey

Try not to get down before I started MFP I would weight myself daily some days I would be over 11st and then the next 10st 9lbs use to think this was just mad. Its only since I joined MFP and strictly only get on the scales once a week and the same time (Thursday morning as soon as I wake up) that a see a more settled…

That sounds great I live in Co Wexford in Ireland and we are just coming into strawberry season when there will be vendors selling strawberries at the side of the road all over the place so will try this one for sure and also going to look out for some 100 calories snack packs on the next shop thanks everyone
