Hi...you need to find what works for you. I feel it's all about knowledge. The more you know about what food contains the easier it is to control what you eat. I enjoy Zumba, walking and swimming and logging this gives me insentive to keep it up. Good luck on your journey :happy:

Mustn't peel them, they need the skin to hold the apple together

Baked apples and sultanas - scrummy. Just core the apples fill them with sultanas and spice and roast for an hour, you can add some brown sugar if you like, inside the apple with sultanas Delicious - good luck

I weigh myself twice a week, not as an obsession but to help me keep on track. Wednesday I weigh myself to see how I'm doing the Saturday is my true weigh in even if I've gained, it's the one I go by.

I can understand how you feel. For me it would be 'what if they don't quite fit' can be disheartening. Start by trying on the 14 in the normal store. good luck and have fun

Or maybe Vodka?? Hmmm :-0)

Lol...does it work for wine?

Jacket potato with spinach and poached egg :flowerforyou:

Your story is tru for so many of us, for me it was that my children were at school and food was my company! I now weigh out food into a container of howmuch i can have day (this was when I needed to slow down on the nibbles). Now have sunflower seeds, fresh peanuts in shells, as this takes time to deshell them but still…

:wink: Thank you guys

Thanks everyone, may have to invest :-0)

Brilliant, thanks :happy:

Love it 1) I can do this 2) Buying a set of scales makes it all real 3) It's not as hard as I first though 4) I do have the ability to feel better about myself 5) I can help others by telling them about this useful site

Try swimming...or for belly fat sit ups should help, as previous post 'don't be impatient' do a few a day this will get the fat off rather than turning it just to muscle......good luck x

I always have a salad or make up a batch of courgette and potato soup, freeze and serve when needed :-0) Of course you could also do a Jacket potato in the mircowave ??

I agree, it could be water retention, also you could check that your scales are balanced and on a level floor as this also could make a difference :-0) xx

So glad to hear you're doing well with your weight loss...well done you :-0) xx

Thanks Editara...really can't drink milk as it makes me urge but I know you're right about it being the best source. Gonna try more green veg espically spinach and someone has said almond milk so am going to look out for that. Many thanks for all your posts xx
