Timetabled meals
Hey guys and dolls! Does anybody find that adhering to an eating schedule helps them stick to their eating plan? For me, I think it's the routine of a schedule that helps as I always know what and when I'm eating next. Also, I find the planning helps me stick to eating good food that I've already bought rather than buying…

Frozen Fruit/Veg/Chicken
Okay, so this is going to sound terribly naive of me but are frozen fruit/vegetables/chicken breast just as good for you as the fresh variety, or no? I've only ever bought fresh stuff to date, but I think buying certain things from frozen, such as raspberries or broccoli, would save money in the long run and cut down on…

How to measure out peanut butter etc.
Hey guys, Quick (perhaps somewhat silly) question: How do I go about measuring out the likes of peanut butter, spread (like butter but not) etc.? Do I literally put a dollop on the scales or what? Because that just seems like a big ol' mess to me. Also, most jars state tbsp. or tsp. measures but how long's a piece of…

When did it stop being hard and become a habit?
Okay, so I'm just wondering in general, how long for people to completely adjust to their new way of eating? They say it takes 21 days for something to become a habit if done consistently. Does this ring true for anyone? Or is it all merely a case of self discipline and motivation?

(Ladies!) But here's the thing, I've now started feeling miserable. I was fine for the first 5 days, then my motivation…

I need advice...from ladies!
Hey girls, So...our monthly 'visitor' is due in the next couple of days and I've seriously been struggling to stay within 1,200 kcals! I mean, I have but I'm absolutely ravenously hungry! What do I do?! 1,200 kcals hasn't been a problem for me thus far, I often end up pretty comfortable (hunger wise) at the end of the day…

Sugar allowance over due to fruit
Hey! So I just looked at a break down of my day and I noticed that my sugar allowance was WAAAAY over because I ate an apple and a banana. How do I stay within my sugar allowance when 2 pieces of fruit have more sugar in (according to this thing) than two sticks off a small fun sized Kit-Kat?! How can I eat fruit if it's…

1200 Calories a day & not losing a thing?
Hey guys, So I've been sticking to the 1,200 kcals a day as was suggested to me by MFP...but here's the thing, I've been trying to hit the 1,200 mark bang on yet I've not lost a thing in a week? I know, I'm being impatient but I've done this once before and lost 4lbs in the first week (I'm not doing anything differently to…

1,200 calories & stuck at same weight
Okay, so I've only been on this diet for 10 days so far and I have lost 4lbs. The weight loss was pretty quick at first but now I've been stuck on the same since Wednesday. I've stuck to the limit and exercising a little every day. What's going on? Surely it's waaay too early to plateau?! Any help or advice would be great…
