Morning you clever lot! Weight is back to normal and I've had a 2.5lb loss this week. Usually we have our treat night on a Friday so my weight is back to normal on my Sunday weigh in. But because I went out on Friday we changed it. I love loosing weight, today is going to be a good day already :) one more 1lb off for the…

Thankyou all and Thankyou for some of you picking up on some of the comments that aren't that helpful! Personally I wouldn't choose to eat crisps and treats everyday. It's not healthy and not great for weight loss, but as what was said - find what works for yourself

I also measure myself as well, well hubby does! My chest,arm,leg,bum,hip,stomach and waist. It's nice when you see the inches drop off :)

Agree with synacious too! Not infatuated with my weight, loosing weight is a lifestyle change so it's always at the forefront of my mind. I appreciate weighing, not just how clothes fit, every designer has different clothes measurements etc so not completely acurate! I commit to my macros and have a treat day. I wasn't…

Thanks everyone, good points and good advice :) I am going to try and notice any patterns. My hubby said he is going to take the battery out of the scales to stop me from weighing myself all the time! Xx

Can I use myfitnesspals calorie estimator? Xx

Thankyou bookandchocolate, I didn't think a few treats would ruin my weight loss either. Some people have big take aways and still loose weight. Im back to my normal eating today, I don't have any treats other than once a week. I'm hoping its going to sort itself out as with my broken toe I can't exercise that well which…

Yes I weigh myself first thing in the morning before I eat/drink anything x

Funny you should mention ovulation. I released an egg on Friday. I'm a whizz (know all...) at fertility btw that's how I know :) Regarding calories I was already 5,600 under my weekly target plus the 3,900 so I hope you are all right :) If I keep drinking, hydrating and weeing it out hopefully my body will stop retaining…

Usually I still loose after a treat night that's why j was surprised. It's funny you should mention salty crisps as I was eating Pringles and actually said it was like eating a pot of salt!! I have lied actually as I am still 1lb down from last week but thought I'd be less. I drank Diet Coke last night, ate skips,…

Size102b - can you just clarify on what you mean by 'you burn fat by eating less than your body needs' how do I know how much my body needs? Is there a way to find out? I really mean this as a genuine question as it seems like a really interesting point but would like to apply it to myself personally :) thanks x

Morning all, So I had fries, the portion was small though anyway!! They did give me an extra chicken breast burger though... I'm still under my weekly goals by about 2,900 and weighed myself this morning and haven't gained anything from going out :) I think I'm starting to be a bit more lenient with myself, not too much…

Ok so I have 3,980 cals left, might have to fries!! I'll see the portion size haha xx

I burnt 135 calories today, I knew it wouldn't be much though so I haven't 'earned' much in extra food for today but over the week I've probably got extra calories so do I have the fries tonight or do I have to base it all on one days food? If that makes sense? Xx

Thankyou, I will try! Just one more question what if I was to base it on weekly intake? I do have a pig out night which can sometimes be as much as 1600-2000cals before exercise. I am going out tonight and going to have a chicken breast burger with salad and 2 onion rings. Shall I stick with the salad or indulge in fries…

I have a baby on my hip every day and obviously I do lift all day long so that keeps my arms moving. Steph, I understand what you mean. We do have a pig out night with a homemade burger and treats etc and we do enjoy that. We eat pizza now but it is homemade, we rarely buy take always. Maybe once a year if that - we've…

Call me silly if you want but surely pizza, beer etc aren't good for you? I love those foods by the way but will avoid them for my weight loss? Hubby does that as well? The other thing is, I don't want to slow my weight loss (someone who said that) I need to loose weight for an operation and that is my main goal. I like…

[/quote] Obviously, it's just one study, so it's not conclusive. But it's always important to test our assumptions, and this certainly suggests using some caution before repeating the same old slogans. [/quote] My goal on MFP is 75g, should I not stick to that? I am often a few grams over

Hi yes I have seen that and been looking at vids too, seems good but I'm not going to up my calorie intake as I still need to loose weight. TBH I need to be under 185lbs for an operation do that's what I'm focusing on, I got a massive telling off from some 'jobs worth' nurse for being 191lbs.. Anyway I am going to add that…

Is it? How many is ok? I was thinking every other day x

Ok I've been looking into kettle bell exercises and it looks like fun actually! I did do tabata for a while and I enjoyed that and it looks similar. So how many times do I need to do a kettle bell workout? Is three times a week enough?

Hi all, Ok a few questions to answer!! Firstly my food diary is correct, I weigh 183lbs and want to loose another 43lbs. I personally don't understand how much someone can eat? To me I am full and that's that? I'm not purposely eating a very low calorie diet btw We do have some 6kg kettle bells but have no idea what…

Ok I think I'm doing alright then, I do eat meat/fish every day and my exercise isn't excessive. Just need to loose more fat!! Getting there slowly but surely, better late than never though :):):)

Btw I don't want to particularly gain muscle just not loose it :)

Thanks plami, yes I am always balanced with my micros and I am only ok with going over on my protein, if my fat or carbs are over I have a re haul on what I'm going to eat on that day. I'm not overly great at squats/push ups etc as after about a minute I'm stuck lol however I have a gym ball that might help? How will I…

Method* not metro! X

That's brill!! Thanks :) Ok so my new ideas are: anything with eggs!!! Greek yoghurt, berries, some kind of seed muffin and perhaps a crumpets here and there. I'll start out with the yoghurt first though with my grapes and move on to the muffin!! If I start to put on weight though I'm down to the grapes again!! Thanks…

Oh ok, so they taste nice though? Xx

That's really good that you have changed your view of breakfast things being for 'breakfast' Why do we have certain food for breakfast anyway!?!! It seems that maybe I should be having eggs for breakfast!! With crumpets??! I LOVE crumpets!! I usually eat boiled/poached egg with crumpets for my dinner though :s

Haha, it's easy done!! I don't like peanut butter though. In not really a 'spread' person if you know what I mean? I'm being difficult now!! I don't really know much about protein shakes? Where do you buy the bars from?
