Thanks, these sites are great. I find myself eating the same things day in day out. I eat a lot of chargrilled chicken with various seasonings and usually fry up a load of peppers, mushrooms and onions. Thats my main diet! not very varied! I eat salmon quite often too, again, varying the...

Well Done! xx

Hi Ellie, You're weight will most probably be the main cause of your hypertension so you are doing the most important thing by dieting. What type of diet are you doing? Be careful to read the salt and fat content of your foods as high salt and fat intake will also increase your BP. If you are...

I'm weighing on Mondays now. 2lb loss (I had put on 1lb last week but dont know how to change my ticker???!) Well done everyone to everyone else! x

Dont be down Sera at least your losing. Weighed this morning and I'm 137, I'm pleased with how I'm doing considering all the time I had off. I'd like to lose 2lbs more by Sunday, fingers crossed but my OH gets home from work on Wed and thats always a disaster! Can someone tell me how I...

Weighed myself this morning and I've gained 1lb over my time off, not too bad, I was expecting worse. Can someone tell me how I change my weight on my ticker? xx

Thanks ladies, weighed myself this morning and I've put on 1lb. Im pretty pleased with that I thought it would be worse! Good luck both of you x

Ok, I've had a bit of a tough time over the last few weeks so I stopped the diet but I've started again today. I didn't weigh this morning but I'll do it in the morning and change it since I've definitely put back on. Still doing 1000kcals so fingers crossed. Hope everyone else is doing...

Hi Blondie, I'm a nurse so hope I can offer some advice, An underactive thyroid would slow down your metabolism so taking levothyroxine should correct the hormone function and speed your metabolism up so it should actually help you to lose weight. People with overactive thyroid would be...

Hi ladies, hope you are all still doing well. I have been off the diet for the last 2 weeks, had bad news so being a bit chubby hasn't been high on the agenda. Think I'm going to give it another week and then start again. I haven't weighed myself but I think I've put back on. Keep at it...

They aren't being dispatched until tomorrow because they are out of stock due to popular demand apparently!

Oh, plus the noodles come ready cooked! you just rinse them off and heat them up or add them to your cooking! I really think they must be too good to be true!

I got them from Japanese food shop UK | Japanese Shirataki Noodles, Yam Noodles, Konjac, Buy Shirataki Prices are pretty reasonable, I ordered 4 packets to try out, dont know how long the sell by date would be on them. I'm looking forward to them coming, Ive been reading up about them and a...

Damn right! He will want to go out drinking, have parties, go for meals the whole time he is home! Oh and I keep forgetting I'm supposed to be having a 3rd Christmas dinner!!! We didnt see his family over the festive at all so we have to go visit them so they will want to fill me up with food...

It definitely makes you realise just how little of junk foods that you get for 100kcals. And alcohol! I've been off it this week but my other half comes home this weekend so next week will be testing! x

I just wondered if anyone had tried these Shirataki noodles before? I have ordered some online. Apparently super ultra low calories. It says they dont taste of anything but you just add them to what your cooking, like a stir fry or something. Might as well give them a bash I guess, just...

Good luck with the Atkins! That is something I could never stick to I'm afraid, I love bread! x

Hello Jennifer, congrats and welcome! Everyone on here is ace and you will get great support and advice. Good luck with everything! x

Yeah been on 1000kcals since then. Lost 4lbs the first week, now on week 2. Not hungry at all, I eat a breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper and snacks. You just have to get the most out of your calories. What kind of diet are you doing?

Just to let you ladies know, (I eat these too) Morrissons had loads of the frozen ones on offer for 70p each! x

My downfall with crisps etc is when I am driving because I need to fill up with fuel and always get too tempted to buy junk in the garage! Does anyone else have this problem? I can resist fine when I'm at home.

I'm a firm believer in everything in moderation. I am dieting just now to lose a st as put it on over the past year. I have to admit I occasionally enjoy a Mcdonalds too, and all other junk food unfortunately! I know I cant eat them all the time though. I think it is good to have one treat...

Well, so much for joining on here! I've done no exercise today. Got up about 930, tidied up, had breakie etc and got called to work for 2pm so just had lunch and went. For dinner I had 2 big bags of crisps oops! I'm a nurse though so I'm on my feet at work a lot. I think I should get one of...

Ooh thats good news only 5 kcal! Ive been quite bad today, not eaten properly at all! Had 2 grab bags of crisps!!! Not had any dinner, ended up getting called to work for 2pm and I'm not long in. Just going to have a cuppa (and maybe a jaffa cake!) and go to bed.

Hi Amby, I dont think you have been naughty at all, you sound like youve had a good day. How many cals do you count for soy sauce? Do you know how much roughly would be in a tablespoon? x

Dont be disappointed with that Amby, I was hoping for 2lbs so the 4lbs is just a big bonus. x

Hi everyone, hope you dont mind me joining in. I didnt know the fitness section existed! Its 3.10am and I'm wide awake, why cant i sleep!! Shetland Lass - yes I defo recommend kiting on hols to begin with! The worst part of doing it in Scotland is trying to get your kite dried out...

Im just watching it on ch4 plus 1 just now. I wish someone would portion my food into 100kcal sizes, it would make things so much easier! Saying that though, I am doing a calorie controlled diet and its not that difficult to add it up. I keep a daily record on a spreadsheet and Ive input in...

I wouldnt say its a no no (depends what diet I guess). I was having my supper though, so steak probably not a good idea! I dont even want to imagine how many calories my usual phili steak baguette has!

These all sound yummo. I've just had a proper pizza though! A weight watchers one though and I left 2 slices. Earlier I made a huge batch of mushrooms and onions and just added soy sauce, hardly any calories and really filled me up. Mushrooms will definitely be my saviour! x

Hi ladies, I am a nurse and although I don't work in sexual health I previously specialised in the area. If you are at all worried about your pill you should attend your local family planning clinic. Microgynon 30 is the most common and will usually be prescribed first (cheapest!)...

Had my first weigh in today, lost 4lbs, really chuffed, 12 to go! I'm not having my treat tonight because my other half is coming home from work on Sat so we will go out for tea. Getting my hair all chopped off today so that is my reward. I think I'll up my goal to 10lbs by valentines, so...

Found it!

One week in and 4lbs lost. Very pleased! How do I change my weight on my profile anyone? x

I've just found my new fav food! So I thought I would start this thread for us to share what foods we have discovered. I love a steak baguette with Philadelphia, mushrooms and onions and I have just made a substitute which consisted of: - toast made from ww bread - Low fat phili - fried...

I just found this for you - 'Legally, any food that claims to be ‘fat free’ should have less than 0.15g fat per 100g, whereas foods that claim to be ‘low fat’ should contain less than 3g fat per 100g. As a general rule, more than 20g fat per 100g is a lot.' That is from Low Fat Diets Review...

Hi Kelly I really don't know but I wouldn't imagine you would unless you were giving advice. I know there are guidelines for what you can call 'low fat' or 'fat free'. ie. the fat content needs to be below a certain percentage before you can call it that. I dont know where you would find...

I think exercise does help, especially in keeping weight off. I lost nearly 3st and I kept it off for about 5 years (put a stone back on recently). When I was at uni my diet was really bad but I went to the gym for 2 hours 5 days pw and managed to maintain the same weight. After I left uni I...

I think it would be good to have both up - to see you at your worst so you can think 'i wont look like that again' and a good one to show you that you CAN do it!

You need to get your dress! I wanted mine asap! Mine is in a small castle near Stirling, its a lovely setting. We are hoping for around 40 day guests and 150 at night (thats max at night) but I think day invites might get out of hand! The honeymoon still isnt booked, we keep changing our...

I've really struggled today, think I'm just bored with not working. Managed some exercise though. B - skipped cos slept in and had to go out before I had time (this has been my downfall!) L - 2 x toast with turkey slices - 150 S - 2 x walkers baked crisps!! and a jaffa cake - 250 D - Chicken...

I bought an exercise bike from asda for £30 so not bought a DVD, still might though. Burned 350kcal on the bike today and done sit ups etc too. Going for 500 tomorrow if im not working. thanks for all advice x

Hi girls, spent a lot of time today distracting myself with the guitar, I've been very bored today and just eaten a dairy milk! oops I'm getting married on July 31st and have my dress already! Do you have yours? I need to get more organised though, going bridesmaid dress shopping on Sat. Are...

I dont think I diet in the healthiest way at all! I just eat what I want until I've had all my allowed calories. I still eat processed foods etc. A lot of people would say this is bad, and yes it probably is, in comparison to someone who eats a nice healthy diet regularly, but in comparison...

Eeek! I feel like failing today! I've had 2 x toast with turkey slices 1 jaffa cake hartleys sugar free jelly 2 packets of walkers baked crisps! oops I just feel like eating rubbish! Thats what I get for sleeping in and then going out with nothing in my...

Welcome to both of you! Im pretty new too, just been doing it for a week. Got my first weigh in tomorrow! This is a great source of support, everyone is really friendly and you will find really good advice. If you have any questions everyone is really helpful so just ask. Good luck to you...

I didnt know you could get your eyes done on the NHS if they are saggy. My mums have bothered her for years, I've just looked it up for her and says they do tests etc to see how much it affects vision. Would be good if she could get that done. I think your right Kookie, thats why so many...

Most of us probably eat more when we are bored (I know I do!) so I thought I would start this thread to see what interesting hobbies that we all do that make use of our time and give us other things to do rather than eating rubbish. My job leaves me a lot of spare time so I have this problem...

Fingers crossed for us tristens girl!! Kerry Ann - I cant accept your request it says I have insufficient privileges or something :-S x

I agree Julie, it is hard to pick the 'healthy option', I always think if I'm having take away I might as well go for it and get the worst thing haha x

Thanks Kerry ann. Going to get my scales tomorrow, I dont trust myself to resist the urge to test them out. 5lb is great well done! I have been good every day so far, so fingers crossed. i've made my goal 8lb but maybe I'll see what I am on Thurs and might put it up. I'll be going out for...

Thanks ladies, Still need to go buy one, I have wii fit but I'm not at home at the moment and dont have it set up here yet. I bought an exercise bike the other day but ive been full of cold so not used it yet! Shetland lass - I had tried windsurfing before but I found kitesurfing easier to...

Thanks Mel, dont think I would go that drastic though! I would be quite happy if I could get them to a DD, I'll see how they end up when i'm at my target, they will just be all saggy. I just get annoyed when looking for bras, most of the time I can only find big back sizes in an E+ x

Feeling poorly today so had a long lie and then didn't eat until cold and flu remedies kicked in so had no breakie today. L - toast + dairylea light (145) - 100g grapes (64) SNACK - Walkers baked crisps (100) D - Chicken tikka masala meal (362) I'll also have a WW choccie cake thing with a...

Hi everyone, think I'm a bit late with this but I'd like to lose 8lb by valentines (to look sexy in some nice undies!!) Haven't had my first weigh in yet, due to do it on Thursday, fingers crossed! Vicky -6lb +1lb, -1lb Vodevil -7lb: sts Shanny24 - 6lb Dreamingmaid -9lb 2.5lb lost 6.5lb to go...

Maybe I'm just a bit odd with the boob thing! I've always had big ones though, since 1st year at school and everyone else had wee pancakes, so I've always hated them since then. x

Happy anniversary Mel! Ok, goal after wedding - to reach 30th anniversary!!! I hate my boobs! I cant wear anything baggy cos it just makes me look fat because they are so massive! I am usually a size 10 and 32E but I'm a 12 now and 32F! I cant complain too much because I obviously seem to...

When is your big day? Bridal shops always seem to measure you a size bigger, you would think they would do the opposite to make you feel good!! I'm sure you will reach your size if you just stick to it. I dont think its unrealistic. Some people would probably call my dress OTT! Its got...

Kerry Ann - I meant a wee (as in small!) exercise bike! Im Scottish haha, I forget my lingo gets lost sometimes! Yeah we should defo motivate each other, I weigh on Thursday but my scales are broken so need to get new ones so I dont know if I'll get an accurate reading. I'll set a valentines...

Kerry anne - I was terrible while studying, always thought I would have a 'treat' for working so hard! Even though I had just been sitting on my bum all day not burning energy! I would get loads of junk food in like crisps and pot noodles but then after I had eaten them I would feel sluggish...

Reasons for me to lose weight - 1. Fit comfortably in wedding dress in July (and hopefully even have it taken in!) 2. When I was previously at my goal I could wear whatever i wanted 3. Hopefully boobs will shrink! And it will be easier to find underwear (why do shops always have every...

Tarotwoman - I have been trying to google what would be the healthiest chinese option and Chicken and mushroom came up, do you know roughly how many calories would be in it? I find when I get a take away its always a good idea to chuck the leftovers in the bin as soon as your full, I could...

My wedding is July 31st and Ive had my dress for about 2 months. The first time I tried it It was quite roomy and thought I might even need it taken in!! Now its quite a struggle to get the pannel at the back closed, Its still wearable but I'm pretty gutted. My aim is to need to get it...

I hate winter! I'm full of the cold! :-( Not eaten anything today so far as didnt get up until about an hour ago and I'm waiting for lemsip caps to kick in so I feel a bit better. Gutted as I went and bought a wee exercise bike and some dumbells yesterday with all intentions of getting on it...

I'm not surprised your craving Amby, your body will be shocked, you must have burned more on the bike than you've eaten! Eat something! I'm on track again today B - 1 weetabix +semi skimmed +honey = 110 L - sandwich with 55kcal bread, turkey, tsp coldslaw +lettuce = 150ish - tangerine - 30...

Think I've done fine today, although I did feel hungry when I was out this afternoon but managed to hold off. B - 1 weetabix, hot s.skimmed, tiny trickle of honey - 110 - 100g grapes - 64 L - Home made veg soup - 250 (approx) D - Chicken + broccoli pie - 320 - small slice of...

I know what you mean, salad and fruit are way more appetising when its nice and warm and sunny! I had a big bowl of mums home made soup for lunch which warmed me up just right today, just no thick bread loaded with butter for me! Also had weetabix with hot milk and a tiny trickle of honey for...

Hi Kelly, I am also new here and doing calorie controlled. I have lost weight this way in the past and found it easy to stick to. I remember always saying to everyone how easy it was! I've put a stone back on though so need to get on it! I like calorie controlled because you can continue...

Hi Rach, Im new on here too and also calorie counting. Im a sucker for the take aways too, been trying to research whats the lowest kcal option if I do get the urge! I'm going to have a treat every week I lose though so that will be my incentive. Good luck!

Thanks Lisa, good luck to you! We know we have done it before so we can again! x

Hi, it looks like you are doing really well, just been looking back through your diary for inspirational food ideas! I'm trying to stick around 1000kcal too, im finding I can eat quite a lot for that though. I see your hubby works away, my fiance does also. It really makes it hard when they...

I'll give them a go and see if they work for me. Fingers crossed! When I lost weight last time I used my home cross trainery type thing for 30 mins a day which worked well. Then when at uni I became a gym addict, going 4 - 5 times a week for over 2 hours a go! But since leaving uni and...

Thanks ladies! I need to be knackered tonix!

Also depends how tall you are Kelly, I hope your profile info is wrong and your not 13ft!!!

Hi Kelly, I am sticking around 1000kcal but I'm not doing much exercise, I think 800 is very low even if you are inactive. I think If your doing all that exercise you should probably be eating more because you will feel very weak, particularly at the beginning and it will be difficult to be...

Hi I am new to here, I've done calorie controlled before and it worked for me so fingers crossed it will again! Managed to keep it off for 5 years but its slowly coming back on so got to nip it in the bud! Does anyone use fitness DVDs? If so, what ones are the best? Ive never used them...

Breakfast - 1 weetabix +semi skimmed (100) - 100g grapes (64) Lunch - 1 Chicken breast - 1 grilled mushroom - philidelphia light - salad (240) Dinner - WW Sausage and mash meal (312) - WW carrot cake slice (71) Supper -...

Thats awful imagine saying that to you! Wait until your slimmer than her and say the same back! I think people that try to put you off losing weight are just jealous and you should take it as a compliment. I get people saying to me that I dont need to lose weight. And really I dont 'need'...

Hi Im new to this, hoping to lose about a stone. I lost about 2 and 1/2 stone in the past and kept it off for 5 years but Ive recently put a stone back on and I don't want it to get out of control. Im doing exactly the same diet as I did before because I know it worked for me and I found it...

Hi! I made the decision yesterday to get to the shops and buy my 'diet food'! I lost about 2 1/2 stone 6 years ago and managed to keep it off. They do say that love makes you fat though and in the past year I've put about a stone back on and i'm determined not to let it get any worse and get...
