I just love my morphy Richards slow juicer which gives me all the micro nutrients I need. Not too bad to clean if you soak it straight away and I recommend you look up Jason vale on u tube for more info

did you try the diet club and if you did what did you think?

i did the hay diet (food combining) a number of years ago and lost a bit of weight but did it mostly for health reasons and to feel better. this it definately does but it can take some time. there are a number of books about it and the principal is not mixing starches with proteins and later on when you have got used to…

weightwatchers tomato soup is under 80 cals for the whole tin and fills you up. i often have one mid afternoon to keep me going

buy some small pretty pots with lids and fill them up every morning with prepared fruit or veg with low cal dips. even low cal meals left over from the night before can make low cal snacks. look on them as your treats and when you want to snack they are there ready and waiting for you. i take a few almonds in a pot with me…

sorry its late in replying but wanted to congratulate you on your first mile. when i first started doing it i couldnt do more than a few minutes and now can do 45 on a good day. you can watch leslie sansone on you tube too:drinker:

its because your unconscous doesnt like change and will do anything to resist as it is its way of protecting you. you have to fool it and be determined logging onto mfp everyday and logging everything becomes very motivating try using an iphone or ipod app so you can log in any time you can and get support from mfp friends…

i too get this all the time, even though i could loose another 2 stone and still be a normal weight. ive thought a lot about this and how to deal with comments. i have tried every tactic to stop people commenting but it doesnt work. i think that people can be jealous but i also think that they cant cope with change and…

when i used to go to slimmingworld a number of years ago they had the following tip for when you cant avoid the meals out on the day you know you are going out, make sure you eat so you are not hungry but only eat what they call free foods. this is any amount of meat, fish, eggs, veg, salad and fruit. on a day you are not…

go back to basics and start again with the diet. that is the only way you will know for sure. eat more veg and fruit too go to maintenance cals for a while and while doing this dont log exercise but make sure you do some every day. do this for a month to let your body readjust and then start again by recalculating your…

mfp says my maintenance is 1630 as i am retired and sit about all day, the only exercise is to go for a walk or do leslie sansone dvd. i have health probs which prevent me doing more. i am 5.8 and weigh 154 at moment so any advice would be helpful to continue loosing a bit more ive done my tdee which is in the 1600s and my…

i use my exercise calories as my daily treat i am only on 1200 cals a day as i am near my normal weight and if i ate less than the 1200 cals i would stop loosing weight i dont really like exercise so saving my exercise calories for my evening treat gives me something to look forward to and makes me do the exercise i…

with all these lovely healthy ideas, why not make your own healthy cookbook journal and then you have it to hand when you run out of ideas. i print off any recipie i like and have tried and put it in a folder that has plastic sleeves so i can move them around when i feel like it. it makes me stick to the calorie counting…

count me in !!!

i log mine as granary homemade. it seems pretty accurate

i started using leslie sansone dvds as i have problems exercising and its the only dvd ive found i can do. because of 2 hip replacements exercise is limited but am finding i can walk a lot better now. 2 years ago i couldnt even walk down my drive and now can do a lot better on good days. being in the uk i found it hard to…

i was told not to take calcium within 3 hours of taking my levothyroxine as it interferes with the meds. this includes milk cheese etc and anything with calcium added. i take my meds just before i go to bed which the dr has agreed to so i can have cereal and milk for breakfast if i like. hope that helps

remember you are doing it for you and although its wonderful to get encouragement from others know you are doing really well and treat yourself with something new to wear each time you get to a small goal. people will begin to notice, i promise

got to report i have lost nearly 2 pounds this week as i have downed my calorie intake and dont do the same exercise each day. we will see what happens next week if i can stick to it i think it gets a lot harder as you get older to loose weight and i dont burn so many calories as i have a thyroid problem hope this helps

same here it is getting on my nerves too i am going to give it another week and if nothing happens then am going to adjust my calories up but not log exercise to see what happens i was on 1350 and loosing but not exercising, now on 1200 and exercising and not loosing whats that all about but having said that i think my…

i lost 1 pound a week for ages and then started to exercise and the weight loss slowed down to about a pound a month. i then increased my calories and lost 3 pounds but then is stoped. ive just reduced my calories from 1350 to 1200 and am eating my exercise calories as i dont feel i can get the right nutrition otherwise…

not giving in to the cake my husband waved in my face. i felt a lot better when he ate his and mine. made me smile to myself

tomato juice is low in calories, find one without added sugar and not made from concentrates any juice made from concentrates has a higher sugar content. maybe get your own juicer?

i have a number of so called friends that in the past, when i have said i was trying to loose weight would offer me a biscuit or bring round a cake which of course you cant refuse. i am quite shy and dont like to offend!!! now at the age of 62 i still have the same problem and i have like you decided not to tell those…

running does cause damage in some people to hips. maybe you are just overdoing it or need to change to a different exercise and maybe a low impact one ive had both hips replaced but i am 62 but was told when i was 40 i needed to have them replaced. i would recomend low impact exercise to anyone who is having joint problems…

glad to be onboard. it must be my age but it has take me 45 minutes to find the group page. of course i should be on my cross trainer exercising. maybe this is why i am not loosing much weight as i find any excuse not to exercise. obviously easily distracted but i am getting there and loving a more healthy way of being…

ive got to the ripe old age of 62 and yes ive seen this problem over and over again. you seem to be a lovely strong person who has a very supportive husband. keep going and be brave. your sister doesnt seem to be a very good person but that is her problem not yours. i know we all want to be loved especially by our families…

thanks so much for posting that, it really made me think that i should make more effort myself and not judge. I try not to already but will make a better effort after reading your post. my daughter had the same problem you talk about with peoples attitude and she was underweight. she had no end of people mention this to…

i too have a thyroid problem and have come off levothyroxine for a while as i was having side effects. i am trying to loose weight by not going too long without eating just a small amount. i try to have a small amount of protein with each meal and my weight is coming off slowly. it has taken about 9 months to loose 27 lbs.…

google the iodene project. quite a lot of info on there. hope it helps
