  • eat little and often, don't deprive yourself of snacks/treats but build it into your calories. Stick to your calories and don't go under either. Are you an emotional eater (I am - boredom, bad moods etc)? Remember, just because you fall off the wagon one day doesn't mean you have ruined things so should continue to be bad…
  • good luck. Its a brilliant tool and you will get loads of support and advice on the website or via adding friends. Be positive and set yourself lots of little short term goals/targets and things to look forward to to keep you on the straight and narrow. I have used this successfully last year and then fell off the wagon (I…
  • Good luck. I have been successful on here - and then stopped, stopped dieting and exercising and put weight back on again - back on the wagon as of New Year, fingers crossed this time it lasts.......................
  • I think, and I'm only guessing here, that it is to put the message to the top of the noticeboard (whenever there is a reply it goes to the top) rather than being lost down the list and not seen

  • And don't cheat - it feels good at the time but not in the long run! I read a great quote recently, you know how when you fall off the wagon its so easy to carry on pigging out that day/week saying oh well I've ruined my diet today now so I can continue, I'll start again tomorrow? Well someone said, when you spill a drink…
  • Take your measurements as well as just monitoring your diet - even if the scales aren't going in the right direction you may be losing inches. Then check are you accurately recording everything? Do you weigh yout food rather than estimate it? Do you remember to log all drinks, snacks etc - its amazing how calories in…
  • also look at what food you are eating. Can you build in snacks during the day so that you are eating frequently, such as a small snack in between meals to help with the hunger pangs?
  • you are eating too few calories and making your body go into starvation mode and hence cling onto all food/fat that you put in. Eating below 1,200 calories is bad for you. I upped my calorie target to 1,220 - not much but its a buffer, I ensure that I am above 1,200 calories so its not unhealthy but don't want to exceed my…
  • Congratulations on your weight loss - that's amazing. Just a quick thought - is weighing every day healthy? Your body fluctuates so much isn't it healthier to weigh once a week, on the same day and at about the same time? I am currently dieting for my wedding - finding this is a great source of focus for me. Previously it…
  • Hi As much as I am trying to do more exercise to get fit as well I see this as a bonus so try and use the app for primarily calorie counting. As much as I am trying to improve my diet by adding more fruit etc I do tend to stick a lot to foods that have come in boxes etc so have labels that I can scan and calculate the…
  • Are you an emotionla eater? I have binged many times in the past and even stopped using this app for a while as I didn't want to see how much food I was gorging - I tend to over eat and eat bad food when bored or emotional.. Concentrate on the positive - you have been successful before and can be again and you are not…

  • this drives me nuts too - always told eat your 5 a day and then every time I read about a diet in a magazine it says not to each much fruit because of the sugar (and constantly going into the red because of it). They tend to say switcj to veg instead of fruit - but ultimately it is a lifestyle change and has to be…
  • several clasps and adjustable straps - just like a big normal bra. I'm rather large chested and swear by this bra.
  • Good luck. I used this and got to target by calorie counting (but then put weight on again over Christmas and when I stopped using it and gave up on the diet for a bit) but have been using it since the New Year successfully. I do add some exercises into it but mainly concentrate on the calories - and trying to make sure…
  • I love Freya sports bras - comfortable, easy to get into and lots of fasteners so can tighten as you lose weight. As much as you want to save money a good bra is a must however as you don't want to damage your chest.
