I would recommend MFP too. My daily calorie allowance is 1275. Remember that this is to lose weight. If someone was wanting to maintain then it would need to be approx 500 cals a day higher than that. Good Luck!

2lbs off for me too please!

Good Morning!!!!!!! I love fridays i do! Only 6 hours and 11 minutes until home time! I had a really good day yesterday and did a 4 mile walk with Leslie Sansone. My 6 year old is overweight (10lb 4oz baby and never slimmed it off) and she joined in with me which was great! We both really...

Good morning and happy friday!!!!!! Hmmmm, i'm a bit worried about this weekend. Weekends are my downfall, especially when my OH is back from camp as we just seem to eat and drink too much. I'm a bit terrified that i'll end up undoing all my hard work! I think i'll be good tonight but tomorrow...

Hi Dan, Personally I'm not a massive breakfast fan so I'll just have a banana and a yoghurt so I then have enough cals for a decent snack at about 10am. I try and keep as many calories for evening as that is where I fail and get the munches xxx

Hi and welcome!!! You've done an amazing job so far so well done. xxx

Hmmmmmm, I would work out what your BMR is and stick to that. You'll be using extra calories anyway just through the wonders of breastfeeding but I wouldnt go below what your body needs just in case it affects your milk. The last thing you want is an upset bubba who has been swapped from Silver...

Ok so the reality is that I need to be posting my diary AFTER the event as what i'd like to eat and what i eat are two entirely different things! I ended up on 1463 Calories yesterday but earnt 240 through exercise so had 47 remaining. I'm cool with that! I have to be honest and say that I'm...

Hi Kirsty, Good luck with your target for your holiday! I'm sure you'll hit it no bother. Are you off anywhere nice?

You never know, you could have a first week back on it of epic proportions!!!! Fingers crossed for you!

I am! I started on Monday too and I'm 15st 1.5lbs. Hoping I might cross into the 14's though xxx

I did the Leslie Sansome 2 mile walk tonight on YouTube. It's ace!!! So chuffed I've found something I enjoy so thank you for the recommendation! Xxx

Alas, the Gyms in lincs are way behind the times lol. I will persevere with the Shred, it was just mega soul destroying this week lol x

I've never really tried Yoga but will check that out too. Thanks xx

Oooooh! I've just been on Youtube and Lesley Sansone workouts look perfect, certainly as a starting point! I could do that every day no bother! Thanks Donna :-)

It should be a uniformed approach with everyone getting the same service. I'd go so far as to report to SW xxx

Yes, you need to draw a line and move on or it'll be the same next week. Chin up xx

Morning, I'm after some suggestions from you please! I work full time, have two daughters and my partner lives away. I really struggle with exercise due to having the girls/job/lack of motivation but want a DVD or something that is actually manageable. Has anyone got a decent DVD??? 30 day...

Wow you did really well! I'm struggling to find te motivation to fast this week but will give it a go tomorrow. Xxx

How are you all getting on this week? Managing ok? Xxx

It's amazing how much you can actually eat for so little calories!!! Yum to the Melba toast! Xxx

Oooooh sleepy time tea sounds good! I may have to investigate my local sainsburys although its not a massive store so might not be lucky xxx

Thats an amazing achivement - really well done! :-)

How about crustless quiches? They're always quite good and easy? Xxx

Hiya! These menfolk are terrible for our waistlines aren't they? Lol I'm in a similar situation. My OH deployed to afghan last year and I did quite well losing anyone whilst he was gone. He got back in October, I have up smoking and now the stone is back! Meh! Looking forward to sharing...

Have you actually eaten enough? You might be starving! Hmmmmm I've never done spinning but the seats do look a bit thin!!! Give me an armchair saddle for my ample arse any day! Lol x

Well done! Exercise bikes really don't have the most comfy saddles do they? X

Yeah, loads of water! Sliced lemon and boiled water with a sweetener is good too xxx

You sound much chirpier today! Fingers crossed on the house x

I agree with not letting it brew for too long and def add a slice of lemon! I've been reading your diary you-ve done an amazing job! Very inspirational! My OH is armed forced too and when he's around we tend to over eat and drink. Sadly he's a superfit skinny minnie who can eat what he likes! lol x

Hiya, I've dont a few 500 cal fast days and its fine. Hard work but certainly manageable. It's like the dentist, the thought is worse that actually going lol x

Hiya, Is there any chance I could be added to the challenge please? Is it before summer or by the end of summer? If it's before summer can you put me down for 20lbs please? Grateful muchly xxx

Good morning!!!! I've never really thought about doing a Diary before, but i'm guessing that's one of the reasons why im in the position I am. Clearly I'm in denial about what is passing these lips! I have tried so many diets - WW, SW, LL, Atkins. And then I had an epiphany yesterday. I only...

Thank you!

Back on it here too. Was doing SW but just can't get on with it. X

It's probably been 4 months since I attempted this but I have we'll and truly failed tonight! Knackered!!!! Feeling massively fed up xxx

You've done amazing so far!!!! Best of luck xxx

I find it easier to swallow once its cooled down but my favourite at the moment is hot water an lemon. Actually, I reckon a slice of hot water will make green tea taste half decent xxx

I've had exactly the same with Natwest lately. It's changed without a doubt. However, I think all banks are the same. Barclays and Lloyd certainly are xxx

Hi Jennie! I swapping today from SW to CC. I paid £60 for an online subscription two weeks ago but it really isnt working for me unfortunately. I will be taking on board some of their principles though, like changing to wholemeal bread and stuff. I'm on My Fitness Pal, Are you? It is an amazing...

Fingers crossed for you honey!

2.5 lbs off! Happy with that! 2 until I'm in the 14's!!

I have to be honest and say that i'd be really disappointed too. Not because of other people's results, forget what other people achieve and just worry about yourself. I'd be annoyed that she actually doesnt seem to be taking your journey seriously and actually you pay for her to provide a...

I've done WW before and this is my first time on SW (and last hopefully). I like WW, but I think I just eat crap. I would eat grapes all day so I could have a bottle of wine! Not exactly a balanced diet. On SW I feel a bit more confident that I'm eating decent food that is wholesome and healthy. Xxx

Weekends can be horrific but its so much easier if you plan! Even if you plan to fall off the wagon a bit, you wont feel the guilt and can get straight back on again! xxx

I think hormones can affect our attitude so possibly. The key thing is planning in my opinion. If you know that you're going to someones house for a cuppa then maybe tale a cereal bar or something else you have synned already? xxx

I can understand why you're disappointed but try not to be. 1lb is still a loss! Fingers crossed for a great result next week xxx

Hi and Welcome!!! Fairly new to this SW malarky too. Good luck withthe diet and the new job xxx

Oooooooh Im at 260 calories now. I'm allowed 500 in a day when fasting but try and keep it for a meal. However I really needed some lunch so had two ryvita thins, some philly and some grapes. I should still have cals left for stir fry veg later though.

I think too many people say what they think someone wants to hear rather than the truth. The truth can sometimes suck, especially when it means we have to admit our own failings or shortcomings. I would much rather hear the truth, that's not saying I'll like it though. People pussy footing...

I totally agree that you need to really want to lose weight to succeed but that goes for any diet. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!!! Xxx

I think the dynamics of some friendships can change with a healthy eating plan. I have a good friend who is a drinking buddy (and a skinny one at that)! So we probably won't see much of each other at the moment. Sounds a bit shallow doesn't it but we don't actually have much in common when...

Hiya, I'm fasting today. So far I've had lemon and water and a black coffee. I did go off the rails last night though with some wine so glad I'm fasting too. I'm planning on not eating at all until I get home but we'll see how the day pans out lol xxx

Well done x

Exactly the same honey! My normal day is not normal at all! I'm fasting again tomorrow and have stuck to SW 100% this week. Mondays weigh in will be very interesting indeed! Xxx

Hiya! I'm 15st 4lbs and desperate to at least get into the 14's and then 13's and then 12's etc...... First weigh in on Friday! Wish me luck and good luck to you all! xxx

Hiya, I just wanted to say that this spreadsheet is awesome! I dread to think how long it took you but thank you for taking the time to help us! :)xxx

Hiya lovelies! A quick question for you if I may? Ive just made the mushy pea curry sauce (omg it's amazing) and just want to check that it is actually free on EE? Also, can it be frozen? TIA xxx

I'm torn between trying the Mushy Pea Curry or just having a nice lean piece of steak with some veggies.

Tesco chilli prawn noodle thing 2.5 syns, really looking forward to it!!!

I think if I was to do 5:2 for just health reasons then I wouldn't need to worry but because its for weight loss too I need to reign it in a bit or ill go mental on my feast days lol. Thanks for the link, I shall have a look :-)

Thanks! I'm loving SW so far but read up about the health benefits of 5:2 so thought I'd try and mix the two! Xxx

Hiya! I'm new today too, must look up the blogs things. Could be good! Good luck :-) xxx

Hiya! This is my first post :), i've been lurking whilst waiting for my account to be validated and have been itching to get on board! I've never done SW before, only WW but its just not working for me at the moment. I gave up smoking last year and have put on a stone since so i'm now 15st 4lbs...
