Snacks and small meal ideas?
Doing the shopping list and just curious what other people tend to buy? I shop weekly & get all my fruit, veg & salad pieces from a local market delivery weekly too so not too interested in that kinda stuff.

Struggling to lose
Last time I was on mfp I stayed at 1200 calories and lost 56lb or something similar to that but put about 30lb of that back on when I started eating higher again - my own fault I know. This time round I found 1200 too hard to do and was just binging at the night time, so I upped it too 1400 + it works a bit better. Mostly…

Knee locking!
I'm so mega peed right now. My knee started locking a couple years ago not long before I decided to start losing weight actually. When I was bending to put the washing in, picking something up ect it would just lock and I'd have to force myself to be able to move it back whilst being in tremendous amounts of pain, but the…

When did you add exercise to your diet/lifestyle?
Last time I lost weight I lost a little over 50lb and added exercise in after about 5-6 months - I'll admit it, I lost weight so easily just by eating less I really couldn't be bothered to even try exercising. I eventually done the 30DS then took a job which meant I was walking nearly 2 hours a day to and from there. But…

Exercise DVD? Which ones?
Just looking to buy a new dvd as just starting to get back on track + need something there. My lovely son used my 30DS as a toy so that is scratched to pieces, so thought I'd try something new instead of buying that again.

Freezing bread and toasting ..
Now, last time I lost weight I hardly touched bread as I'd usually head off to work without breakfast and have an early lunch. Now I'm at home, I've really got into the routine of eating toast for breakfast, but it's white bread. And I LOVE white bread. I love granary bread aswell, but not for toasting! With white bread I…

Do you track when you gain?
I've put on 2lb, stupid I know. But it's given me a kick up the bum to track harder & better. But do you update your weight when you gain, or shall I just ride it out and wait untill theres a loss again to change it and update it? Seems a little silly logging the same 2lb as weight loss, if it found me again! What do you…

I drink so many calories!
I may be asking the impossible as I know only I can stop/change myself & my life but, I drink mostly half of my daily calories each day. Wether it's alcohol, red bull, pure juice, coffee, whatever, the calories add up so quickly. I'm a total sucker for a starbucks skinny vanilla latte, and i'm even worse for vodka & diet…
