In South Africa you can order Mc D's burger with a side of corn of the cob, they give you butter to go with it but you don't have to put it on the corn. Last Saturday my day went horribly wrong because of family commitments and I really didn't have time to cook, I was exhaustred and the kids were hungry. Mu hubby got some…

How many calories are you eating? Maybe you need to up it a little to include a 100 calorie snack mid morning.

You're getting better and better looking, wow!

Beautiful! Love the dresses both the before and after!

I'm just a big softie and this brought tears to my eyes. Well done and keep it up.

I've had Mc Donalds on logged it into MFP. Sometimes life happens and it"s either McD's or nothing.

I've also gone up a cup size even though I've lost weight. I think I have a lot of breast tissue and not so much fat in my boobs. gone from 36E to 36F :huh:

I bake ....a lot....... for orders only so I don't eat my baking! Muffins are very bad as it's oil that makes them so moist! Lots of oil!

low fat plain yogurt, 1 tsp curry powder, 1 tbsp lite fruit chutney, salt and pepper to taste. Marinade chicken for at least 30min. Grilled. YUMMY

Just start again and look at lesson learnt. It's not the end of the world.

Another 1.5lbs gone forever!!

I looked at your food diary, looks like you're eating a lot of refind white flour ie bread. Try having new potatoes and brown rice and wholewheat pasta instead. Eat less of theses carbs and more veggies.

My point though is that we have to try to look and feel good no matter what we weigh, far too many over weight people just give up. I see it in the "before photos" posted on this site. It's bad enough most of our berfore photos are lumpy but do they have to be frumpy too? Love yourself enough to make an effort with your…

Subway has way too much bread! It's still better than KFC!

I suppose I should have said to stay trendy and "fashion". Clothes can really age you and I always find that if I dress well and do my hair and make up I feel better about myself and try harder to be fit and healthy. Jeans and T's a fine but every now and then I like to dress up and feel feminine. Thanks Carol_27, great…

7 lbs down and 3 to go to lose 10 lbs by my 40th birthday on the 3rd September.

Add me please!

It's just over 4 lbs, well done!

Sushi is not that bad if you can control how much of it you eat. Opt for half a pizza with mostly veg toppings and ask for half the cheese. You wont even know the difference.

Thank you everyone. The title should say "Pity party"

Turning 40 on the 3rd of September want to lose 7 lb by then, this will bring my total to 10 lb.

Sorry i changed my settings it's open now

I've given up having seconds (some time thirds) at dinner.

I have never counted calories before and when I entered my profile on this site 1200 is what came up, no other reason. I have had a bigger breakfast this morning so today I should be on track.

I have a little bit of info that may help you. Booze and fatty food together is a recipe for weight gain. Your body cannot store alcohol. It can use carbs, store fat and use protein, but alcohol is a poison in your system that the body has to deal with as soon as it's injested. So all the food you ate with your drink was…

Thanks, read the links and will stay on 1200 for now and eat some of my exercise calories back when I feel hungry.

I'm a 36F and my bust just keeps getting bigger while the rest of my body gets smaller. I was a DD about two years ago at the same weight . If I had the money I would have a reduction. HATE my large boobs.

Even though you may weigh a little more during the day than first thing in the morning the weight lost is still the same. So if you started off weighing in the afternoon and it's convinient for you carry on. You still see the pounds coming off. Just know that if you were weighing in the morning you would be a little…

oh dear, looks like I've been eating too little! I eat 1200 everyday and very seldom eat back my exercise calories :( Will have to make some adjustments. I do feel satified with 1200 calories do I have to force myself to eat?

It may be fine in calories but your poor body will get bored and your weight loss will be minimal. What about fresh vegetables etc.
