Pepperoni in large quantities, and meatballs. Occasionally some sausage as well. I used to love chicken and bacon on a pizza but I kinda got bored of that... I'm a mainly meat eater, can you tell? :P

Might help if you opened up your diary - if you're eating 1200 calories of sugary stuff, then you're not going to feel full or have stable blood sugar as if you're eating 1200 calories of protein etc. Lots of people will tell you on here that 1200 is too low, but it worked for me when I did weight loss the first time. So…

Just take it one day at a time. You have a good day? Fantastic. Now get up and do it again. There's always going to be temptations, it's about learning to manage them. If you have to go out of your way to avoid them, find the ways to do that. If you slip up and have a bad day - that's all it is - a bad day. Get back up and…

Not often enough probably. I run 3 days a week (though on my next training plan, that's going up to 4 days) and cross train 3-4 days a week (cycling, elliptical, swimming, dancing, yoga - depends). I probably take an actual rest day where I do nothing that I could count as exercise once every couple of week. Though I'm…

I tried it at uni in combination with caffeine pills (I don't drink anything with caffeine - just don't like it!) and quite often working through the night or insanely long hours was necessary. I didn't get any side effects of it, other than feeling a bit shaky on one occasion. Didn't use it for weight loss purposes though.

I'd run for a glass of wine. Or away from the zombies. I quite often plan how I'd escape zombies when I'm running.

It was all going so well.... 18 days without alcohol. But I did a lot of exercise today and had so many calories left over that it was so easy to be tempted....

Wine. Definitely the wine. And the ice cream. I miss the ice cream. And the wine...

The thought of wearing my jeans again. I've been wearing stretchy yoga pants constantly for the past 2 years because my bum is too big for jeans!

Totally didn't know this was a thing! I'm currently on 7 days clear of alcohol. My problem is that I can't just have one glass.... I have one bottle. It's my comfort thing after a bad (or just dull) day at work. We can do this!

Do you find it's accurate clipped on to you? I've been toying with the idea for a few months, but I've been put off for several reasons - they're quite expensive, would I stick with it, and how accurate would it be. I'm a vet so quite often I have my hands in mucky places or I need them uber clean for surgery so the flex…

I love this idea! I think it sounds so much more attainable breaking it down into months, that way you don't get to the end of the year to find if you've achieved something. I've just made a training plan for my first 10k, and whilst the running it involves is probably not going to have me hitting 100km in January (I'm…

I would avoid the water. Zombies don't need to breathe and could stay submerged until an unsuspecting person went past.

I lost 12lb a couple of years ago (which I realise isn't a huge amount)... but then gained that back plus another 13lb... so now I have 25lb to lose. I didn't enjoy maintenance at all. I survived about 3 months still logging calories on here at my new maintenance amount, but I found it quite traumatic realising how much I…

Like with anything, there's always going to be good days and bad days. Find something that you love, and then go from there. Equally, exercise doesn't have to be in a gym. I love running, but I hate doing it in the gym. Would rather feel the wind in my hair and see changing surroundings than stare at the tv screens in the…

Wine is my weakness. But today is day 15 without a drink - I'm not an alcoholic, I just used to drink a lot. Also, yesterday I got on the treadmill at the gym and ran for 20mins without feeling out of breath or stopping. Slow mind, but got to start somewhere!

I know, I have all the reasons to do it... he needs to lose more weight than me... and whilst I'm sure I have plenty of time it's going to take him longer and I know we should start... I just need to feel passionate about losing weight and getting fit like last time I did this.

I've got the day off tomorrow (yay!) so I'm going to lie in for a bit in the morning, then pump up my bike tires (been meaning to do it for about 2 weeks) and go for a ride. Nice easy way to go back into it.

Hey! I'm Alexa, I'm 24, 5ft4, 138lb (aiming to be 122lb). Lost the weight once before, but then... well, you know how it is, uni, relationship, too much take out.... Me and my fiance have been engaged for just over a year now. We haven't officially set the date yet - we're meant to be waiting to plan until I'm done with…

Hey! I'm 5ft4, currently about 129lb, but aiming for 120. Last time I was 120 I felt I was a bit boney, so I wouldn't want to go any further personally. I think maybe it depends on your build? I think you look great personally.

I'm not going to, despite my skins inability to tan naturally. Currently so pale I'm practically albino, despite hours in the sun. I figure if I got a spray tan, I wouldn't look like me, and it would make it different with regards to buying makeup to do on the day (doing my own makeup) - and the powders and such wouldn't…

Hey everyone Thanks for the advice and the links, I shall definitely check them out because I'm away from my home at the mo and it would be great to get started. I'll look into finding a class at my gym - maybe because it's part of the uni, there'll be more new people starting in September so that might be a good time to…

Just wanted to bump this to see if anyone had any ideas??

I failed and I'm 23, lol, which could be depressing. I'm not even that much heavier than I'd like. Only 10ish lb! But I think my bum naturally doesn't have that much lift, and probably never will. But I like it anyway :)

Hey! I've found MFP really easy to lose weight because it's based on calorie allowances - I can't really remember how it works when you start because I've been here over a year, but I think you put in what you weigh now and your target, and it gives you a set amount that you should eat a day in order to lose weight. Mine…

I wouldn't get a weapon - unless you are good with them, they are easily taken off you and turned on you. Agree with previous poster, reach out to the men in your life for support.

Hey! Welcome! Course you can join. Would be nice to have some new activity on here. We were all really chatty to start with but I think lives got in the way for some of us.

Yeah me too! Don't know, maybe we should start again?

I'm in too - I'd love to be able to do any pull ups! I'm really lacking in upper body strength and don't really know where to start though lol.

Ooh, thank you very much, I shall check them all out :)
