Hate seeing daily fluctuations?
does anyone else weigh themselves daily and get really demotivated or disheartened when it goes up or stays the same due to fluctuations? I recommend downloading Happy Scale! It's so refreshing to have all the fluctuations evened out and see a move downward curve on the weight graph. It's really helped keep me on track.

You CAN treat yourself!
For all those people who feel like they can't fit in treats, pay attention. I work 15 hour days, 7 days a week and today is my first half day off in 9 months (because I've got a job interview) With my free time after the interview I've treated myself to lunch out at Pizza Express with a starter and three glasses of fizz!…

Buzzfeed Calories Article
I am shamefully an avid Buzzfeed reader and I've just noticed they've posted another "X things you didn't know about y". Why am I telling you guys this? It's all about cutting calories. Thought you'd all quite like to have a little gander at it. What do you think?…

How long until you started feeling different?
I was just wondering how long it took you guys to start feeling the difference in yourself. I'm starting to struggle getting my head around "changes" Been committed for almost a month now and I'm already a stone down! (Hooray, yay) Aiming to lose a further two more. Anyway, this week I've had several people comment on how…

How do you reward yourself?
I've been back logging properly for ten days and already half a stone down (I wish most of it wasn't water weight haha). My long term goal is to lose 3 stone in total then reevaluate but that is a long way off. I want to reward myself for every stone I lose (only half away from the first!!!!) but can't decide what with. Do…

I Never thought...
I'd be upset that my digital scale packed in. Who am I??? Got to wait for my evening staff to come in before I can run into town and grab a replacement.

Eating Well & Anaemia
I've had trouble with Anaemia for years, whether I'm counting calories or not. I was just wondering if anybody (sufferers, ex-sufferers or whoever) had any tips on how to manage it. I'm not a massive fan of red meat. I eat it very very occasionally. Here are my stats if that helps tailor any advice. Age: 25 Height 5"4' SW:…

Frying Food? Handy Hint
there are some foods that just need frying, eg. Stir fry or one pot jambalayas and things like that. The best thing to do IMHO is invest in a really good non stick pan and look after it. I got a big one from tesco for about £20 and it's the perfect size for the two of us. I only need to use two sprays of fry light to have…

Soda Water?
this is probably the stupidest question but a discussion with my OH last night has made me doubt myself a little. I drink 3L of soda water (carbonated water) a day. I rarely have still tap water. It's just that I prefer the taste and fizz of the soda water. There is no health difference between soda water and normal water,…

Would anyone mind...
would anybody mind running a quick eye over my diary and offering any tips or hints on it? It'd be interesting to get a fresh pair of eyes on it. Last time I calorie counted, the 2stone dropped off. I put about half a stone back on and want to lose another 1.5 stone. It's just going a little slower this time, which I…

Water Tracking Apps?
Does anybody know or use any water tracking apps? I would be interested to see just how much water I drink in a day and to see if I can hit my initial target of 3L? I just can't get on with the water tracker MFP

Looking for friends with open diaries
hey there! I'm just trying to lose a bit of weight that I put on due to work (pub landlady). About a year ago (pre-pub) I went from 189 pounds down to 154. Went back up to 165 and am now trying to hit 143! I'm just looking to make some friends to support each other and so that I can have a good old nose at what everybody…

Don't want to give up alcohol
is alcohol really that bad for you? I own a pub and socially drink, I always add it into my diary and am careful to try and not go over (except a bad day at the beginning of restarting this). used my fitness pal a few months ago and managed to lose a fair bit of weight. Got slack and put some back on, seem to be losing…
