Iwill, what hrm do you have? I would like to get one for my running, but don't know anything about them. I take it they record calories burned also? How much are they roughly? The ones I have seen on my running forum are quite expensive!!

Just thought I would come on here and try and clear my head a little bit. Had a good day eating wise, I came in at 3cals under my 1200 limit. But I saw some photos of myself today that really upset me. I went to Henley Regatta at the weekend, had such a lovely day, but the photos have now...

Liking the idea of cous cous or wholemeal pasta, I think I might buy some cous cous this weekend!! Today I had the wrap that xsarahx suggested...... It was LOVELY!!! Really recommend trying it!!! Am going to stick to the wraps this week (mainly as I have loads to use up now!!!) but think cous...

Thanks bostik, liking the pasta idea!! Have added you on MFP. Good idea littlesis, will have a root around in the cupboard for some appropriate tupperware!! :) Sarah, I always though sundried tomatoes were in oil and so not that good for you? Great to know that they are ok, I LOVE them!! Any...

Sorry to bring this up again, but now I have joined MFP I just want to know if it adds on exercise calories or if you have to work this out yourself?

Hi all, Really hoping someone will be able to help me - I seem to be in a bit of a rut at the moment and need some inspiration to get out of it!! So the problem is my lunch while at work. My breakfast is fine; I have either Dorset Cereals Simply Fruity Muesli or a bowl of Special K. Dinner is...

I love their vegetable pasties, but can't seem to find how many calories they are? Haven't had one for ages so not sure if they still make them?

That's a good idea, do you think I could eat half of them? Dont get me wrong, you all know far better than me, so if eating them all back is best, then thats what I will do, I'm just struggling to get my head around how exercise assists your weightloss if your eat them back! Although just...

im still confused - i understand that you cant let your calories get too low or else you will go into starvation mode, but surely that means your exercise will only help with fittness and toning rather than weight loss (if you are eating back what you ahve burned off)? Sorry to sound dumb, but...

Hi all, Sorry to inundate the cc forum with posts, but I am really confused about eating back my exercise calories. If I burn 300 cals on the treadmill, but then eat them back, does this not ruin the hard work at the gym? Obviously I get the fact that you will be fitter and your toning...

So here is the start to my diary, I don't have an end date yet, just a goal of 8st 6. First day, and it went ok!! Had to give a statement to the police this morning at 9am (don't worry, I didn't do anything wrong!) and it took 3 hours! So missed breakfast altogether, which I never do. Lunch...

Hi all, I have been off the diet wagon for about 8 months now, and have decided to get back on the "horse"!! I have always been a fad dieter, but last year managed to drop from 10st 4 to 8st 12 for a friends wedding (using slim fast). I have never felt so good about myself, but somehow I let...

Day 30 An ok day today, but not great. I had my leaving lunch with the team I work with, and we went to Zizzi's!! MY FAV!! I had my usual, Stozzapreti pesto pasta, and a couple of slices of cheesy garlic bread, but I dont feel too bad about it!! Breakfast - shake Lunch - Zizzis (as described...

i personally have cut booze out completely, and its been 4 weeks now! The reason wasnt just the calories in the alcohol, but the food I would eat when I was hungover the next day. There is just no way I can get through a hangover on shakes and salad. So I have 3 more weeks, then I HAVE to go and...

i find weekends much harder than the week - in the week I'm at work and my days are structured with gym etc, I feel really focused. But at the weekend, the pressures of being invited for lunches or dinners out, nights out on the town (i.e. drinking) and lay-ins make it sooo much more difficult...

WEEK 2 WEIGH IN Oh dear, not too happy about todays result - I've only lost 1 1/2 lbs!! I know thats still a loss, but i was hoping for 2 or 3lbs, as I really havent had an slip ups. Im wondering if it is the muller rice ive been having the last week. I read somewhere on here that the sugar...

Thanks carrot, your right! As long as I look at it as a positive, I will be fine!!! just need to find another job now. So proud of myself for not turning to food, im looking forward to Monday's weigh in even more!! x

No, not a clue!! it looks like my last working day is 16th July, and then im on garden leave for just over 2 weeks. so hopefully I manage to find a job soon!!

thanks flower, im hoping I will land on my feet and find something quickly. But ive been there a while so will still get some redundancy pay to tide me over. As long as I keep on track with the diet, and I dont let whats happening in my life be comforted by eating, then Im happy!!x

thanks faf, im really proud of myself! your right, not good news, but hopefully the saying "every cloud has a silver lining" is right!!

Day 10 A good day today food wise, but not brilliant with regards to my personal life! I found out today I'm being made redundant! im looking at it as a positive, and a fresh start, but it was a bit of a shock. However, the good thing is that I know my eating habits have definitely changed...

thanks 16, im so motivated now!! and its you ladies who are helping!!! Talking on here really stops the munchies attacking!! :) x

Day 8 Im on top of the world today after finding out my weight loss!! it has made me even more determined to do this!! its also shown me that I can do it - all other diets I've tried, ive given up within the first week, and then moan about how "im just the sort of person who cant lose weight"...

I mainly have fruit in the week, and at the weekend will have something else (muller rice etc - even though they are 103 cals!!). But if you dont like fruit, anything for 100 cals is great!!

thanks Girl, the feeling is great!! im on top of the world today!! (and loving my strawberry shake that little bit more!! :) )

thanks FAF!! I feel great!! i thought I may have lost some weight as my clothes fitted differently on Friday night!! OOh yeah good idea about the tickerall updated!!x

Day 4 Today was NOT a good day!! Im sooo angry with myself!!:mad: I did really well in the day, but at the last minute I decided to take Friday off as holiday, and I really wanted a takeaway!! I didnt have one, but I ate loads to make up for it!! here is what I had today: Breakfast -...

the cajun one is quite spicy, but I like that!! you can also get extra hot cajun, but im not that brave!! bbq sounds nice, must try that one!

I only started on Monday, but something Ive had twice already is cajun chicken with salad and some cottage cheese. Im sure youve seen the new schwartz adverts, advertising their new seasonings? Well I just cube up 2 chicken breast, fry them in a few sprays of 1 cal, add a couple of teaspoons of...

Day 3 not a great day today, felt ill all day, and I know exactly why! I had a meeting at 9am at work, but there was an accident on the motorway so traffic was terrible and I didnt get there until 9.15. The meeting was until 10, so I decided to down my first shake before I went into the...

faf, thanks for the encouragement!! its times like these where im still sat at my desk and hungry when these comments really help!! :) tara, I have been quite good with my water, so I'm not sure if thats it. I think to be honest (although I know nothing about nutrition) my body is just getting...

good luck!!! :)

Day 2 Ugh - not feeling great this morning, could barely peel my eyes apart to find the way to the bathroom!! I resisted the temptation to get on the scales; I am only going to weigh-in every Monday morning. I am very easily disheartened, so if I didnt see any weight loss before weigh-in day, I...

Day 1 So today is the first day and most important day of my weight loss. Here is what I had: Breakfast - strawberry shake (yum) Snack - pear Lunch chocolate shake (double yum) Snack - banana Dinner - 2 grilled chicken breast with half a plate of salad and 80 calories worth of cottage cheese...

Hi everyone, I have never done a weight loss diary before, but I thought now would be the best time to start!! (I actually started SF on Monday, but have not had to choice to post yet!!) Just a bit of background, I have about 21lbs to lose in time for my best friends wedding at the start of...

Hi and welcome! I am a newbie to and looking forward to seeing how much weight we can all lose!

Hi, I am new to the forum, but am desperately seeking advice!! I hope a few of you will take some time to read my story and pass on your advice and knowledge. I am overweight (albeit not by much) and have 3 months to shift about 1 1/2 stone. I am 5'3" and weigh 10stone. I know this doesnt sound...
