What is a low carb diet?
Well obviously a diet low in carbs but how many grams are we talking a day? Most of my meals contain starchy slow release carbs but I'm thinking I may see better results if I cut these down and maybe limit them to the morning, so how many should I be eating for a low carb diet? Who has this worked for and how do you do it?…

Why do our minds play tricks on us
I wake up this morning feeling fatter than usual, a full feeling in my stomach, I'm acutely aware of my wobbly tummy as I get out of bed. I feel down, I look in the mirror and I'm convinced I've put on weight this week. I know I shouldn't weigh myself as it's not weigh in day till Friday but the scales are too tempting so…

The day before a BLOWOUT...
SO FAR I've had a great week but I have a work Christmas party tomorrow at TGI's of all places, delicious but sooooooooo unhealthy. I've already picked what I think are the healthiest options from a pre-order menu but it's still gonna be a hugely calorific meal. I'm going to enjoy it but has anyone got any tips, what do…

Yummy tempting Chirstmas Market :/
Going to a Christmas Market with a friend tonight so I'm a bit worried. I've done so well all week but am going to be expected to drink alcohol and eat from one of the stalls. Of course I WANT to eat and drink and let my hair down, but I don't know what options there're gonna be and I don't wanna harm my progress at all.…

You smoothie ideas here...
When I think smoothe I think, banana, skimmed milk or yoghurt and some strawberries. Not very inspiring. Any ideas for tasty filling smoothies, they can be quite calorific as I'm planning on having it as a whole meal Thanks!

Ideas please??!! Healthy evening to lunch time options
Hi Tomorrow is the start of 9 consecutive long days at work (12 hour shifts). At these times I usually fall off the band waggon because when I get home I can't be bothered to cook and/or I'm too tired to prepare something for lunch in the morning at 5am. The way I get round this usually is to make something for my evening…

Seriously lacking motivation!!

I've been a member now since April and have lost 13lbs, I'm happy with this and happy for my weight loss to be slow as I've noticed that I've had blow outs such as holidays/vacations, birthdays, weekends away and I've not piled the…

How to lose 3lbs in one week
Now I know that it isn't possible to lose more than a few lbs of actual fat a week but I set myself a goal 2 weeks ago that I wanted to lose 7lbs in 3 weeks (before my annual holiday/vacation). So far I have lost 4lbs in 2 weeks which I am very happy with which leaves me with 3lbs to go before I hit my target. I have 8…

How many calories a day do most women on MFP consume
I've been following MFP religiously now for 5 weeks but the weight loss seems so slow. On previous attempts to lose weight at Weight Watchers I saw huge losses of 2 and 3lbs a week but I've been lucky to lose a half a pound a week recently. I know it's best to lose weight slowly as fat lost quickly returns just as quick as…
