I have had two TERRIBLE days. I mean, really awful days. They will easily have completely undone the last week. Tomorrow I really need to pick myself up and start again. I feel absolutely terrible right now :(

Eating below 1000 calories a day apparently slows your metabolism down, actually making it harder to burn fat, and if/when your body eventually feels so starved you go on a wild binge, you're much more likely to gain weight very easily and often end up even heavier than when you started as your...

Really glad you're feeling motivated again! :)

When I'm at my time of the month I tend to let myself have a bit extra for a couple of days and my weight is never the worse off for it. I get significantly more hungry in that week but the week after I lose my appetite a lot and it really doesn't take much effort to stick to my diet, and it's...

... I've been away for a while, but I remember when I was last here the 'what have we eaten today' thread was a big help to me, and I figure making my very own thread will be an even better way to keep track and stay motivated. So, today... Breakfast - 2 cups of sugary tea and a small bit...

Auburn, we all have days like that, don't be hard on yourself :) Yesterday I had a day/night out, drank terrible amounts of wine, ate a piece of chocolate cake, and finished the day off with pizza and chips. Total Calories yesterday? Probably about a million. Lol. No idea. Was having a great...

Everyone says we should be aiming for 1200-1500 Calories a day. It depends on what you already are and what your target weight it I think. I'm trying to stay nearer 1200 to get to my target weight, but I'm like you in that I feel I'm eating quite a lot and actually struggling a little to stay...

Thanks for the tip :) The Go Ahead and Alpen Bars can be pretty nice too and low in calories. The Weightwatchers Chocolate bars are brilliant too at 99/100 calories a bar :)

Lol, I'm a chocaholic too, if I want to binge I'll go for the most sinful chocolate I can find. Terrible! Why can't our bodies just crave lettuce when we comfort eat? Life, or at least weight-control, would be so much easier. I like the options hot chocolate, might have one tonight. I saw...

Well done Andy, I'm sure you will meet your target! :) I've eaten another clementine so that takes me to 1099 Calories today. If I have a low-cal jelly pot and a low-cal hot chocolate then that'll take me to almost 1160 Calories for today. I'll have either that or an apple and chamomile tea...

^^ Lol! I used to excercise before, and I mean almost directly before, I would eat the offending piece of chocolate so that I could have it guilt free. However it seemed to set up a guilt cycle, so that I got it into my head that I HAD to burn it off before I could have a treat, this of...

This problem concerns me too, because although I try to keep track of the calorie content in everything, I tend to find myself over-estimating the calorie content, or adding calories onto foods that I don't need to add just to play it safe. For example, according to the packet, a portion of my...

Nice to meet you :)

I'm on a bit of a strange diet, I don't know my exact start weight or what my goal weight is. I know that I've gained at least a stone since giving up smoking almost a year ago, and I'm now trying to lose that. My way of judging this is my clothes size - when I can wear my old clothes again I'll...
