Oatso simple made with skim milk (approx 200 cals). I can't get through the day without it.

No I didn't, but I'll go and check now! :)

I've already posted a similar thread to this in the low carb forum, but I figured the Atkins forum is a lot busier so I'd get more responses. :) After half term, I'm thinking of doing a high protein and low carb diet. So I have a few questions... -How long does it take to get your body into...

After half term, I'm thinking of doing a high protein and low carb diet. So I have a few questions... -How long does it take to get your body into ketosis mode? -How many grams of carbs do you need to get into ketosis? -How much weight do you lose each week when you're in ketosis? -If...

This thread is just for fun. :P Lol, mine is probably around 5,000 calories. :O I don't usually count calories when I'm having a "fat day", but I highly doubt my fat days are anything below 4,500 calories! Haha.

Sooooo, I haven't been here for a while! :P I think I've lost around a pound or so since my last visit, but I've mainly been eating 2,000 calories - so I've been maintaining! I think I'll just eat around that up until January when I'll begin to seriously diet again. :)

So it's a Saturday...it'll be interesting to see how this goes. :/ Breakfast: Blueberry & apple oatso simple - twas the yummiest thing ever :) (200)

I've had between 1,600 - 1,700 calories today. I cba to fill out every single thing I've had today. I definitely feel a bit thinner this week too.

Lozzy, I admire your determination so much! :) One day I'd love to be able to stick to something under 600 calories without feeling as if I'm being deprived of food.

When I went into town this afternoon, I bought an Apple Tango (which is only 50 calories) and a Pepsi Max. Usually, when I go to town after school (or any time really) I end up buying a bunch of sweets and chocolate. I am so determined to keep this up. Yay for willpower! :D

Don't think I'm gonna be able to make the gym this week, sad times. :( Breakfast: 1 x weetabix with milk (100) Lunch: Monster munch (100) Special K mini breaks (100) Crackers with ham and ketchup (100) Apple (50) Oranges (50) Snack: Blue Ribband choc bar (100) Choc chip cookie (50) Apple...

Omg, this is exactly how I feel! I thought I was the only one!! :P

Been busy today (yet I still make time for facebook and mini mins lol), so haven't had time to go to the gym or anything. Today went quite badly for a Monday. Breakfast: 2 x weetabix with milk (200) Lunch: Crackers and ham (100) Cadbury's mini fingers (100) Alpen cereal bar (100) Apple (50)...

Pizza Hut was great :) I ended up having ravioli and 1 piece of garlic bread (that comes free with every pasta dish) which ended up being 650 calories. I had so much fun as well. :) So, for today..hmm, I've gone just over 2,000 calories. Oh well, this weekend has been SO much better than the...

Aww well done hun! That's super fantastic. :)

Okay, this is a MASSIVE achievement for me!! :D :D I didn't binge on Friday night :) and I nearly ALWAYS binge on Fridays and Saturdays (as in going way over 2,000 calories) but I managed to stay around 1,700 calories. Tbh, my Saturday binges are usually a hundred times worse than my Friday...

Haha, the thing is, I didn't stop at three in the end! :P I ended up having another small handful. So that would make my total for yesterday roughly around 1,700 calories. I'm going to Pizza Hut with my friends later, and I'm was planning on just having a starter of chicken wings (350...

Thanks :D and yeah I do a mixture of light and heavy. Breakfast: 2 x weetabix with milk (200) Lunch: Monster Munch (100) Apple (50) Choc chip biscuit (200) Blue Ribband choc bar (100) Snack: 3 x quality street chocolates (150) 3 x dark chocolate mint cremes (150) Cadbury's mini choc...

Oh my goodness, they are amazing aren't they? So addictive. :P I think the reason I snack on bad stuff all the time is because sixth form wears me out BIG TIME, and I just feel like I need some kind of sugar boost. :P Breakfast: 2 x weetabix with milk (200) Lunch: Wotsits (100) Apple (50)...

Thanks :D I love my yummy food aha. Today I had a bit more than usual, but since I went to the gym I'm not TOO fussed about it. Breakfast: 2 x weetabix with milk (200) Lunch: French Fries crisps (100) 2 x satsumas (50) 3 x custard creams (200) Mini choc digestives (200) Snack: 2 x dark...

Cook Yourself Thin have some great recipes on the Channel 4 website. Some of them look so nice, and have inspired me to start cooking! :)

Just a tip for when you go to Pizza Hut; some of the pasta dishes are surprisingly lower in calories than you'd imagine, and the tuscani pizzas aren't too bad either. A whole tuscani ham & pineapple pizza is just under 600 calories!! That's great for when you go out with friends and you don't...

Well, since I have the day off today (from school, as I have no lessons), I will probably be staying in bed all day doing coursework and watching TV. I'm going to go to the gym with my sister in the late afternoon as well. :) Breakfast: Special K mini breaks (100) Tea with a fair bit of milk...

Definitely! I would rather eat less but of foods I like as opposed to more of foods that I'm not particularly fond of, such as: nuts; heaping piles of vegetables; grains; soup; fish or porridge. I know they're good for you, and that you should include some healthy food in your diet, but tbh I...

Well done! That's amazing. :)

Thank you. :) Today I didn't eat 800 calories, but I'm not too peeved since I've done 30 mins on the cross trainer and lots of weights at the gym - so therefore I have been good today! Breakfast: 2 x weetabix with milk (200) Lunch: 2 x Fox's butter cream biscuits (150) Midget gems (250)...

Haha same! I love just watching TV with a load of food to nom aha. :) This weekend has been terrible in terms of dieting! However I'm not annoyed about it since it was my 17th birthday - so I have an excuse to eat loads of junk! :P I'm guessing I've probably put on about a pound of actual fat...

Went to the gym today and did 30 minutes on the cross trainer and lots of weights. Breakfast: 2 x weetabix with milk (200) Lunch: Monster Munch (110) 2 x apples (100) Half a chocolate digestive (50) Oat biscuit (100) Dinner: Chicken with veg (250) Oat biscuit (100) Some chocolate (90)...

How fast or slow your metabolism is can actually differ due to so many various factors. I am not the sort of person who can eat thousands upon thousand of calories and not gain a pound, but I'm pretty sure when I've eaten around 2,500 calories for a week I didn't gain (which is weird...). You...

My life is quite hectic so the days go by pretty quickly, which is just as well because I'm a really bad boredom eater!! :P

And another day goes by... Breakfast: 2 x weetabix with milk (200) Lunch: Monster Munch (110) Apple (60) 2 x Quality Street chocolates (150) 2 x Cadbury's animal biscuits (220) Dinner: Goujons, peppers and dip (300) Options hot chocolate (50) Total: About 1,100 calories

Thanks :) and yeah I usually use my calories up with chocolate and sweets - I know it's very bad but I'm not really a fan of eating big meals. :P I'm somewhere around 8 st 7 lbs to 8 st 12 lbs...I don't really like weighing myself because I fluctuate all the time, and I've always exercised so...

Went to the gym and did 30 minutes on the cross trainer, and 60 pull-ups. Breakfast: 2 x weetabix with milk (200) Lunch: Monster Munch (110) Apple (60) Jammy Dodger (80) Special K mini breaks (100) Dinner: Chicken burgers with salad and dip (300) Cadbury's animal biscuits (110) Options hot...

Sounds yummy. :) I really like your motto in your sig too!

Today went fairly well, even if I didn't do much exercise at all today. :) Breakfast: Shreddies with milk (250) Lunch: Apple (50) Walkers French Fries (100) Shortbread (150) Mentos (15) Dinner: Fish, potatoes and peppers with salsa (400) Cadbury's animal biscuits (100) Other stuff: Jammy...

It sounds great doesn't it? :D You can buy them from amazon, but they're around £30 which is just crazy! :eek:

Today was good for a Sunday, since I usually blow my calories at the weekend anyways. :rolleyes: Breakfast: 2 x weetabix with milk and sugar (250) Lunch: Potato with salsa (200) I was stuck in the house all day with stupid essays and other pieces of work, so I've mainly just had loads of...

Your BMR is probably 1,700 when you're resting. Once you apply your level of activity to it, it should go up - unless you're very sedentary. My BMR is quite low (1,400) but because I'm active it will go up to around 2,000 (so to lose 2 pounds a week I would have to eat 1,000 calories a day).

I see you have pink 'n' whites a lot, which is cool because I practically LIVE off those things! I love the ones with jam in the middle. :D

Thank you :) and I will do. I'll post what I've had so far... Breakfast: 2 x weetabix with milk (200) Raspberry yogurt (50) Lunch: Apple Tango (50) Salmon (100) 1 x Quality Street chocolate (50) 3 x Pink 'n' Whites (150) Dinner: Morrisons salad from the salad bar (300) Chicken (300)...

I've been in that horrible cycle of doing so well in the week, and then messing it all up at the weekends by pigging out. Therefore, I haven't been losing, I've been kind of maintaining. Not what I want at all. :( So, it's back to serious business! New diary and all. I'll start with a clean...

Lol thank you. :) Well atm I'm currently trying to maintain (I'm 5'4" and I weigh somewhere between 120-125 lbs), as I'm not too bothered about losing weight anymore. I'm basically just trying not to become so obsessed with food and exercise, and just enjoy life, if that makes sense. :)

I've come across this VERY expensive ice cream called Arctic Zero which, apparently, is supposed to be 150 calories per pint. I doubt it compares to the likes of Ben & Jerry's, but it's worth a try! :)

Your diary sounds so yummy! :) Keep up the hard work hun, you've done sooo well. =]

You're right indeed :) they are 187, but I like rounding them up because I'm slightly OCD with numbers, lol. I haven't done an awful lot of exercise lately, because I've been really ill for the past 2 weeks, but my daily life consists of walking to school and back, and walking my dog (so I...

Wow I have so much support LOL. I haven't actually eaten all this yet, but I already know I'm going to eat some of this later. Wednesday 6th October 2010 Breakfast: Cereal (150) Lunch: 2 x apple (100), 2 x crackers (50) Dinner: Potato (200) Snacks: Cereal (250), chicken (100), 2 x...

Tuesday 5th October 2010 Breakfast: Cereal (150) Lunch: 2 x apple (50), 2 x crackers (50) Dinner: Potato (200) Snacks: Cereal (150), chicken (150), 2 x fudge (100) TOTAL: 850 calories

I decided I wanted to see whether I could lose more weight. I know I don't need to lose anything, but I just think I'd feel better if I was skinnier. As I'm typing this post, I am 125 lbs (the last time I weighed myself I was about 120 lbs - I rarely weigh myself btw), but I haven't got bigger...

Keep up the good work and have fun at uni! :) Just curious, what are you studying at uni?

Either: a) Galaxy ripple bar b) Maltesers c) Rowntree's fruit pastilles Junk fooddddd ftw <3

I honestly don't think this will work out exactly how you want it to. Restricting yourself to such a small amount will make you so prone to binging; I know it most definitely does on most people - myself included! Good luck though, and be careful. :)

That's great! You're doing so well. (:

Thank you very much! :)

*Bump*

I've searched calorie guides to Indian take-aways for ages, and I can't seem to find decent enough answers. Would someone be able to tell how many calories are in different types of Indian take-away naans, rice, starters and curries (i.e. korma, masala, madras, rogan josh, dhansak, etc)...

I know Morrison's seel both mint and chocolate flavours. They're so nice - I tend to eat an entire box in one sitting lol.

I've just taken my 5th Yasmin pill today - so far so good! I've looked into Yasmin reviews, and the positive reviews outweigh the bad. :)

It changes everyday. One day, it'll be as low as 1,000, and then next it'll be as high as 2,200 calories (especially on days where I'm very active). I don't try to stick to a specific number anymore, but I do like to know how many calories I eat a day (OCD thing I guess). Overall, I eat what...

I don't understand how it CAN cause weight gain, because it's not as if it slows down your metabolism, or contains any calories. I know it might increase your appetite, but if you resist hunger and cravings and continue to exercise a lot and count every single calorie that you consume (which is...

*BUMP* I need help!! :P

I must try the first one. It sounds heavenly! Thanks for this. :)

...me on this: I have absolutely no idea what restaurant this is, or what types of food are available. All I know is that me, my sister, my mom, my uncle and my uncle's new girlfriend are all going out to eat at a buffet restaurant. So, I want to enjoy myself and look really normal in front...

You're doing amazingly! Keep it up. :D You must be so proud of yourself. *claps* =]

Gosh, when I used to be on Weight Watchers, I absolutely hated it. I think it's so restricting! If I didn't do any exercise, apparently I would have to stick to a pathetic 18 points a day. That's just pure horrible. :P

I don't think so. Some days I have a total of around just 20 net calories, but that's pretty rare since I eat a lot most of the time. I'm interested to other responses.

...once a week? I do. That's what I love about calorie counting. You can have whatever you want, but you just need to ensure that you stick within a certain calorie limit. I never feel as if I'm restricting myself. Although, if I do go out for a meal, or order a take-away, I make sure I've...

I know Morrison's have an offer that consists of buying around 8 Muller Lights or Muller Rices for just £2. I live off Muller Rice. <33

I usually go to the gym and I do about 40 minutes on the elliptical trainer, 5 minutes rope jumping, 5 minutes rowing and weights. I also walk a lot everyday, and I tend to do a lot of dancing. I adore dancing! I do a lot of exercise, but I enjoy it. That's probably the reason why I can eat...

So, basically, I could eat 1,000 calories worth of Snickers bars a day and still lose weight? That seems pretty shocking. I would never try that out, though! My measurements are currently 33.5 - 25 - 35 I'm thinking that around 95-100 lbs would decrease that a whole lot. So yeah, that's my...

We all know that sticking to a low calorie intake will make you lose weight. However, say if you consumed a mere 1,200 calories for the day, but your fat, carbs, sugar and saturated fat consumption was very high, wouldn't that backfire and make you GAIN weight? Is it true that ONLY the...

When I went into town today, I went into Boots and I bought a chocolate strawberry nougat bar (84 calories), a bag of Shapers bacon rashers (99 calories) and a fruit bag containing apples and grapes (it didn't state the calories but I'm assuming it was no more than 50). It was really yummy...

Interesting. I used to think I had pretty large hands, but I've had a lot of people tell me how "cute and small" my hands are. Weird.

Which is perpetually the case for me! I'm really determined to curb this bad habit once and for all. I diet for like 5 days, slip up and binge the next day, resulting in me starting all over again. It sucks. This annoying habit of mine has been going on for way too long, and if I want to...

It's a tad late, but I'd love to join in. :D My prom is on the 2nd July, so I would like to lose a pound or two before then. However, my main concern is the holiday I'm going on at the beginning of August. So, 10 lbs to go for me (with my willpower, that's extremely unrealistic, so I should...

I used to have the problem, but I pretty much curbed it. I usually just buy a Pepsi Max, and I opt for low-calorie sweets (i.e. refreshers). I know it's not great but it works for me. You could try going into a nearby supermarket (or Boots like someone suggested) and buying a low calorie...

The usual sachets of Options (i.e. mint, orange, belgian chocolate, coconut, etc) are around 40 calories each - making it a mere 1/2 point. The new sachets, which I think are called Indulgence or something like that are all the more fancier flavours (i.e. Cherry, Fudge, Brownie, Banoffee) are...

I'm not fat now, but back when I was chubby I was super lazy (still am actually :P) and I would eat the wrong foods and plenty of it. I realised I was gaining weight and I wanted to be slim again, so I skipped meals some days and then binged on other days, which resulted in even more weight...

That's excellent progress! Congratulations. :)

Yes! I am guilty as charged when it comes to this! :P The thing that works for me is to ensure that I've got a lot planned for the weekend, so if I'm busy I am distracted from eating. If I'm in a position where everyone else is eating high calories foods (for instance, when friends order a...

The reason I joined this forum was to get motivated into losing weight. When I join certain forums, I sometimes find they encourage me to do something (depending on the forum's purpose). Anywho, last year I went from 140 lbs to 120 lbs. Yeah, I don't actually know how that happened. I am 5'4"...
