Thanks for taking the time to reply, I have had an honest discussion about it with him, his solution is that I dont discuss my diet/exercise routine within his earshot because it annoys him so much. Also I should not do as much exercise. I am not in any way shape or form willing to comprimise my exercise, especially whe…

is in the gym

lol :0)

lol :0) yep its took me 12 months to lose 70 odd pounds-that weight does not come off in a week...... Just stick to it and as another poster has said if you are hungry, try and concentrate on protein as it will keep you full for longer... I lost most of my weight on a low carb high protein diet.... it worked for me.

lol me too- it is such a pain in the *kitten* :0(

Greek Yogurt, chicken, salmon, fresh tuna, protein shake, fresh turkey breasts, low fat cottage cheese.....all high in protein :0)- the Total 0% greek yogurt is amazing, tastes great, no fat and can be used as a dessert with fresh fruit or as a salad dressing... much better than eating cheese which is high in fat.... xx

My protein is over 90% of the time and I got to goal eating that way, my fats and carbs are usually lower than set.... I wouldnt worry about it at all. xxx

Thanks, I know fruit is a simple carb, hence why I restrict my fruit intake to two portions a day. Surely the sentiment behind the no white processed guff is a good one- the fact is the less processed food you eat the better it is for you. The poster asked what has worked for you if you have lost over 30 pounds.... I dont…

I have lost around 66 pounds, around 53 of those are from the 17 day diet, I did this from July last year until December-I am now maintaining. I stick to as little processed food as possible now although I do have some. Lean meat, fruit, veggies, lots of protein and complex carbs-no white bread, no white pasta or white…

You are not fuelling your body for the amount of exercise you do-you need to eat more, have breakfast, and cut otu the processed food, concentrate on fresh produce, vegetables, lean meat, fruit and other protein such as yogurt etc or maybe a protein shake or two.... My guess is you are stalling because youre not getting…

Also this, yes. I recently got a Polar HRM and found I was burning more calories- (I mean like sometimess over 100 more) than MFP was estimating and therefore probably some days I was undereating without knowing it (I try and eat back my exercise calories so Im netting at least 1200). I find if I go lower then I plateau.…

Weight gain for women could be a number of things-time of the month is the normal culprit, too much salt. Not eating enough. I have lost weight week in week out since July but when I added 30DS to my normal work out-I think I started it on a Friday after my weekly weigh in-I was aching for like 3 or 4 days, I gained a…

Hi Im getting married 3rd March 2012. Im only three pounds off goal but Im thinking the hardest job of all will be maintaining.... especially over xmas :0( I am from the uk and I bought my wedding dress back in April-back then I was a size 16 but my dress was an 18 (wedding dress sizes always one bigger than high street) I…

Add me! I am losing weight for my wedding next March xx

I think you're my twin !!! lol

Great post-some handy tips there- also a lot of restaurants have their menus online so I always have a look at the menu before I go-pick the healthiest thing then make sure I stick to it when I get there so im not tempted with anything else that someone else is having-oh and order first...... Some fast food places like…

Hi to the OP i lived in Manchester for many years, It has a great nightlife- lucky you !! :) I have been on the odd night out since I started dieting and it has never ever affected my weight loss. Now I may go out once every 3 or 4 weeks and will drink for one night. I stick to vodka and diet coke and the occasional half a…

brilliant story-well done you. Who cares how long it takes you to lose the weight as long as you get there? Ive lost 58 pounds now since January- only 3 to go. I loved your advice about treats. I think Im at that stage too-Im really worried about eating anything bad in case I lose control. I feel like I control my weight…

Well done thats brilliant....wait until you hit the normal range!!! lol- I was more excited then than I was when I passed my driving test/gave birth etc etc.... Thats is a brilliant achievement, well done to you xx

I dont get along with my ex at all, I wish I did. We were fairly civil at first and up to when we got divorced. We have a daughter together but since shes growing older and doesnt want to see him as much-shes a teenager now, everything is a fight with him. He doesnt see that our daughter has her own thoughts and opinions…

Way to go. An Italian guy who works in the butchers (or deli) down the street from where I work was flirting with me outrageously last week and it felt GOOD!!! LOL I suppose its good to see you havent lost your touch. Im 37 and he is in his 20s-nice that some men appreciate the older woman or even think we look younger !!!…

9 stone 8 is 134 pounds-maybe the calculator is wrong???

what does mfp recommend? I think if you are smaller then you can go below the 1200 but you would have to see your gp to confirm/make sure. I would be interested to see what other people say on this......

Add me, I log in every day, I try and comment if I can, its hard when you have a lot of friends mind!! Good luck with your weight loss Emma x

feel free to add me. Have you done any running before? I run at the weekends now but had never run before so I downloaded the C25K app on my phone, its a gradual way of getting going and is easy to follow. Good luck with your weight loss xx

lol-it actually does my head in that !!!! Emma

Im glad I saw this topic !!! Ive lost around 56 pounds and I have dropped a shoe size but people were telling me that I can thave done, that your feet always stay the same but I have gone from a uk 5 to a uk 4 for definite...... Hallelujah that someone else has done the same :0) Emma x
