ooops ice cream
I eat Perfect World ice cream, which is sugar free, dairy free but yummy. I have been logging it for a while assuming that grams of ice cream were the same as ml. Eer not true, 500ml of ice cream is about 350grams. So I've been weighing my food and logging incorrectly. Am I stupid? Anyone else get confused? It might…

So far I have lost 7 lbs and not felt hungry or deprived or like I was struggling. The key things you all taught me: Don't…

keeping going
Hi this is the first time I've contributed. I started 3 weeks ago and lost 5 lbs really quickly but have stalled - and I'm finding it hard to keep going - I know I'm falling into old beliefs around my ability to do this. I thought I was really determined this time. For me its all about the psychology and deep seated…
