Yes please! I'm on the edghe of SE London and NW Kent and would love more friends. I started here about 6 years ago and went away for a while. Been back about 10 days. Most of my original friends aren't here any more so would love more. I would particularly like friends whose food diaries are open, I love getting ideas…

Hey! I have about 130lbs to lose. I am two years off of my 40th birthday and I really need to do this now because I am noticing aches and pains where I never had them before. My back is starting to hurt and I know carrying around this extra weight is the reason why. I could really do with more friends who have their food…

Chicken & mushroom risotto. No cream, use spray oil. It's a cheating one though because after cooking off the wine I chuck all the stock in, put a lid on the pan and leave it for 20 minutes before coming back to check it. Still tastes awesome!

I love chicken parm too, we had it for dinner on thursday - too yummy! I like the sound of the bean mix over brown rice. I think I will try that and mix in some cooked chicken at the end. Never tried huevos rancheros before, will have to give them a go. Thanks!

My current favourite snack. Peanut butter stirred into full fat Fage Total Greek yoghurt with pink lady apple segments to dip in. Delicious! 323 calories.

My lunch today. 3 egg omelette stuffed with ham & mozzarella and some more of the ham on the side. It's Marks & Spencer Wiltshire cured honey roast ham and it was delicious. I should have used cheddar as the mozz wasn't flavoursome enough for me but a decent enough lunch anyway. 535cals all in.

Hi all. I'm in Kent, lots to lose but doing it slowly - lost and gained more than my current body weight in my life so just want to do it in my own sweet time now! Would love some more friends who are eating higher calories (around 2000 a day or more) so we can support each other.

Good luck to you. I remember my day one this time around. It was last November and my doctor tld me I qualified for WLS - that was not the route I wanted to go down so I got serious with MFP. I am 17lbs down to date, which is slow, but suits me because I am getting lighter, and fitter, but not feeling deprived like I have…

I am currently 280lbs and you are such an inspiration to me. I am going to put this page into my favourites and have a look at what you say when I feel like giving up. Thank you so much for sharing your story, you are fantastic.

I love this explanation - thanks for sharing.

Dartford, Kent here. Always happy to have new friends on here. I am 36 and have over 100lbs to lose so i'll be here for a while.

Is that a low fat/cal Pastitsio? I have a recipe I love but it's too many calories for me to fit into a usual day. Would love to get a recipe for a tasty low cal version.

This was my lunch on saturday. Breaded chicken fillet in a wholemeal bap (both from Marks & Spencer) with extra light mayo and a salad of mixed leaves, orange peppers, olives and extra light salad cream on top. Yummy! 491 cals all in.

Thanks everyone. mroo2014 that is really helpful. Glad I won't need to be completely sedentary!

Haha, wait for all the haters to come on here and see that one. Glad you had a good night, don't worry about it, one day won't kill you. Get back to normal eating/exercising straight away and you might even get away with it.

I'm in Kent :)

Amazing. I am going to put this post into my bookmarks on my computer and my phone and every time I feel like giving up on it all I am going to look at this. I too have about 10 stone to lose, so you are inspirational to me. Well done!

Thanks! I like the idea of weighing it and then putting it on as the mince. I'm sick of dry fat free meat products, so I'm happy to spend the calories on the fattier stuff :)

When I lost weight before it was with weight watchers. I am currently on 2400 cals a day which I got to by using the fat2fit radio method, and this includes my exercise calories.

Hi! I'm in Kent and have been here for over a year now, but haven't been as focused as I like lately. Trying to resolve that now so if anyone wants to add me feel free.

5'10" here. Always happy to have new friends. I have lost 40lbs and am now 247.5lbs. Am hoping to get to around 175lbs but I am going to concentrate more on body fat % that BMI. No photos yet (I need to sort that out soon). Also, I am eating 2400 cals a day (including exercise) so am particularly interested to have friends…

I've just increased my daily calories to 2400 after finally getting my body fat checked and using the calculators on fat2fit radio. Would love more friends who eat like this. Anyone please feel free to add me.

Just to add I wrapped these individually in cellophane and they still taste great when defrosted. Just got them out the freezer in the evening and left them on the side for the following day. I'm going to make a HUGE batch next time.

Yes, it is much lower in pretty much all the bad stuff (sugar, bad fats, empty carbs) and higher in all the good stuff (protein). Plus it tastes LUSH! Here in the UK they have an advert on to try and convince you to give Nutella to your kids for breakfast as it's soooo healthy. Very misleading IMO. Almond Butter is a great…

I always remember a few years ago Bannatynes were in the news because they had been given boxes and boxes of Kelloggs nutri grain bars (when they were new) to give away to members. They sold them for 50p each instead! Because of that I have never had a good view of them. Might only be a small thing, but I think it says…

That is fantastic. Well done.

This has always been my thinking up until now. I keep reading though that drinking diet sodas make your body think it's getting suagr and can mess it up and make you crave sweet food more. I'm interested to see if by giving up the soda it will help curb my sweet tooth. Well done on your weight loss, you have done so…
