I think Harvester should be applauded for this. I hope other restaurants follow suit. I had lunch in a Harvester recently and was really pleased that I could make informed decisions rather than just guessing.

Hi Jules, I'd support everything that's already been said. I was only half watching the programme but think I heard the young girl say that she lost 23 stones in under 2 years - that's an extreme loss so it's not surprising that she had additional problems. Your ticker indicates that you're looking to lose about 3.5…

The food we eat is more than just fuel: the calories give us the energy to move about and for our organs to do their thing but it's the vitamins and minerals that keep our bodies functioning properly and keep illness at bay. So I'd say, "Yes, it's definitely about what you eat." Getting in our daily energy needs is easy,…

Just a thought... You said that you had planned to be "super good" this week. Are you enjoying the food that you're eating or are you forcing yourself to eat things you don't really like but know to be good for you? Trying to eliminate all treats and so called naughty foods won't work if you're not eating tasty meals that…

Hi Simon, I've been wondering about this recently. I've still got a way to go before reaching my goal weight but it occurred to me the other day that I'm happily eating around 1200 calories each day, enjoying the meals that I eat, not missing the junk and often feel full. I'm really starting to wonder what foods I can add…

This is exactly what I was going to suggest. The same marinade works with fish too. You could also mix some yogurt with low fat mayonnaise and shredded veggies to make a coleslaw.

I think Zumba is a newish import to the UK so I'm not sure that there are many classes on offer. I'd never heard of it until a few weeks ago when I saw it mentioned here on the message boards. But yesterday I noticed a poster advertising that classes are starting in my gym. Everyone here has been so enthusiastic about it I…

This is your journey so it's up to you when you think that you should reward your achievements; there's no rules. For what it's worth, I personally think that small rewards at regular intervals are a better motivator than waiting until you reach your final goal for a big pay off. If you have a lot to lose your target…

Lots of good comments here. When I started I set myself a 'no eating between meals' rule, thinking this was a way to stop snacking but I had lots of growling stomach moments during the first week or so and soon realised that snacking can be a good thing, as long as they are good snacks. It takes a while to adjust to a new…

Hi, Completely agree, I now realise that portion control was one of my problems too. Using the food diary I can now see that previously my "healthy" bowl of cereal for breakfast was really 4 breakfasts in one! :smile: Instead of living at the back of a cupboard my kitchen scales is now a permant fixture on my worktop and…

I have a theory about this... Whatever weight I am, like you, I can never seem to find the item I like in my size. I think it's because I'm looking at different styles depending on my weight. It's probably the same for you chaps. What appealed to the size 16 me probably appeals to other size 16's because it's a flattering…
