Best of luck!

Hi, the very first post on this forum by fattack (yellow shaded) by is very comprehensive. It tells you how to calculate your calories and the deficit required for guaranteed losses. You could get a lot more food for the calories in rice krispies and buttered toast but if you are satisfied and...

There's a very good and detailed explanation on here about calculating your calorie needs on myfitnesspal. Let me see if I can find the link.

It's good to know that calorie counts vary between pasta brands..I thought pastas were all the same.

In the past, gentle increases in everyday activities suited me better for weight loss. Many small movements in the day seemed to cause very little upset but the minute I break a big sweat, the weight stalls. Maybe we gave a " save the flag for the impending marathon" switch in our metabolisms....

Me too... I hope I can keep on track. My relationship with food is very unhealthy

Well done, nom nom. I understand completely the desire to know all there is to know....if you have struggled to control weight for years, it's hard to surrender the control. I suppose the best thing to do is relax and reflect each day on hunger, triggers, what worked. Eventually the right...

I find with calorie counting that I'm constantly using most of my allowance on bread and chocolate...then im miserable. Better off using syns wisely and eating to appetite

That's interesting and really good to know that you can still save a disastrous day.

I also think that all calories are not created equal....a calorie of sugary junk versus a calorie of protein might have different effects on your body chemistry? Dunno...just thinking aloud.

Well done and best if luck to you on the next step towards January

I've been having a few chunks of melon with berries and a Muller light...it takes ages to get it down as I'm not a breakfast eater usually. But the lunch that follows is supremely welcomed

Ah..totally forgot to think about the last two letters so how about we pretend the band broke up and only one remains? Lumineer!

It's like listening to myself! I know the feeling exactly. It's like there are two of me opposing one another!

Hi, hope you don't mind if I join in. I started as last Thursday at 19 St 10. My first weigh in will be Thursday and I'm dreading it. I'm really good all day and then in the evening it's like a monster takes over and I eat all my syns and more in chocolate :( even as I'm chewing I berate myself...

Brilliant...a brekkie that doesn't use up all the healthy extras by 10am! Why didn't I think of that!

It's brilliant to see posts like yours, blood covered princess! I saw your amazing weight loss stickers on your post...well done. Thanks for continuing to support people even as you are in maintenance. For people like me starting out, it's fantastic to have people who know and work the system...

I've been switching too. I decided to make adjustments to suit myself. I joined sw and it's going ok but I like bread and chocolate too much to follow the plan to the letter. So I took the best of it - consume more veg but I count calories on mfp too. So some days I eat toast and cereal and...

Thank you so much for this forum. Fat busting can be so lonely! It's great to meet people who know about weight struggles and how devastating it can be x

Hello, I've been lurking lately and took the plunge to join up. My story is an up and down one. I have been obese since mid-teens..now 42. In 2007, at nearly 23 stones, I had a gastric band fitted and lost 7.5 stones over the next five years. Then I had a much longed for child through ivf. So I...
