snack wise i am addicted to either tesco or morrison light crispbreads with extra light cheese triangles - much better than bread and dont bloat you up also the rivita crispbread - taste almost like cheesy puffs without the cheese and 20cals a slice Mmmmm

I tried it a couple of years ago - i remember for a month it worked quite well stopped feeling hungry all the time and had trouble finishing meals, then after that they stopped working. Made me remember theres no such thing as a magic pill

they dont get a notification saying they have been defriended

Goodl luck Kristen - you can do it - theres lots of support and advice on this site - and lots of success stories to keep you motivated - feel free to add me

download Runkeeper - its free and sounds like what you are after

good work!!

I love watching weightloss programmes - its makes me believe there is light at the end of the tunnel and if you work hard and are determined theres nothing stopping you reaching your goal

Cardio i'm finding excellent for slimming down - i would recommend doing some weights for toning - but i couldnt recommend excersises - your gym would be able to offer some good 1-2-1 advice on your needs welcome by the way :-)

Your body normally goes into ketosis (starvation mode) depending on the person between 2-4 days - i honestly would not worry while your not well just focus on getting better and drink plenty fluids, when you can eat again your body will go back to normal

Why are your friends not keen on you being on a diet? True friends would respect your choice and not judge what you ordered - i wouldnt feel pressured to order something for the sake of appearance and feel guilty if i could have had a better option

On average I burn about 1000cals with exercise so usually eat about 500-600back. Depends on the day really. Weight loss seems to be fairly consistant so seems to be working for now

Good for you!! First step is realising yourself what's been going on. There's lots of support to be had on here. Feel free to add me if you need a kick up the bum lol x

Biggest struggle is that little voice inside saying you've done so well have a little treat. And ignoring it!!

My gym is £34 a month with a £7.50 joining fee. That's in Inverness, Scotland lol

Hi and welcome to MFP - great support on here - so feel free to add me as well

Amazing - what a difference!!!

as above but you should drink more water as well

I tell myself to focus on the end result - the journey is just many little steps there

welcome - am almost the same age - fighting to lose the flab as well lol - feel free to add cheers

Woo!!

you always tend to lose everywhere apart from where you desperately want it to go!! My body hates me - my legs and chest are starting to look acceptable but belly and bum stubbornly refusing to budge!

you look fantastic - i love hearing these stories - makes the hard work worth it. You must be so proud of yourself!!

I made mines public - nothing to hide - and it forces me to be brutally honest - after all your only cheating yourself if you "forget" to put things on it

Hi :-D

i know what you mean - but just need to plough through and keep going

Should really be drinking more water - unless u havent logged it otherwise great diary - i am on 1200 cals a day ( but eating a little excercise cals) so feel free to check mines

Good luck it's an empowering decision to make. Feel free to add me. Lots of good support on this site x

Amazing change. Well done!

some people just dont want to put the effort in - always waiting for that magic pill or fad diet that will melt the pounds while doing no effort. Doing this is hard yes - but end of the day it was my poor choices and lazyness that led to me being fat and its my choice now to go to the gym 6 days a week and work my butt off…
