I was on about 600 cals for a month or so, then up to 1000 again, now I am on around 1000-1500, just trying to loose a little each week, my weight loss has really slowed down now, practically non existent so might need to lower my cals for a while to kick start it or something. What did you...

Hello! and thankyou! :)

Thanks hun :) Graphic design, what about you?

Congrats :) Me too, I only want to loose one more stone, but I am going to start increasing how much I eat now because I really lowered my calories over past few months to try and shift some weight but it backfired and I regained it very quickly! Just finished my 3rd year at university, got...

Thankyou very much :) I weighed myself today and im now 9 stone 4 lbs, I could have lost more but I haven't been eating a lot over the past week haven't been very hungry so I think its slowed it down a bit! xxx

My initial birthday plans went down the pan yesterday because of the snow, however I managed to get up to nandos with a few of my friends, in my wellies of course! So not all was ruined :) I wanted to share some photos of me from my birthday last year, to this year, just to keep myself...

Hehe thanks :) xxxx

Thankyou :D xx

Just an general update/rant My birthday tomorrow, was really excited to show my friends/family who haven't seen me yet how far I have come in loosing weight, but it has snowed really badly today and now I cant go and see my family :( My friends cant get down here and I'm spending the day alone...

Thankyou sweet :) hope all is well with you? xx

Me too, It feels good to be able to sleep haha! thankyou :D xx

Hey ladies (and gents if your reading :P ) Just an update, after the diet pill loss of 3 pounds I assumed I would gain it all straight back, but I only gained about half a pound and I think thats because I ate a massive curry woops hehe, anyway I weighed myself today, was dreading it but it...

Thanks hun, I was just struggling with loosing any more weight and felt I had 'come to the end of the road', I think I was just desperate to kick start it again and I foolishly thought the quick fix would be the only way to start it, however I know how far I have come and I think I would be...

Yesterdays food diary Breakfast ; Readybreak - 108 calories Snacks; Baked crisps - 99 cals 1 Vegetable samosa - 137 cals Couple of nachos and sour cream/chive dip - not sure on the calories probably about 100-200?! Dinner; Was supposed to make my own curry with naan bread, however wasn't...

Thankyou girls, I have actually stopped taking them now, I didn't go to sleep last night either I am exhausted and I felt really sick and it totally wasn't worth it, I will weigh myself tomorrow night and see if I gained those 3 pounds back! Hope your all well on this gloomy grey day! xx

Breakfast ; Readybreak - 108 calories Snacks; --- Dinner; Salad & Chicken (not sure on calories) Exercise ; Hopefully another 40 mins Davina workout, if I don't fall asleep! zzzz I haven't eaten hardily anything for the past two days, and that may have something to do with a naughty diet...

I haven't done a food diary for AGES!! Breakfast ; Readybreak - 108 calories Snack; Baked crisps - 99 calories Dinner; Lasagne and salad - not sure on the calories but I have hardly had any today so Im sure I wont go over my 1200 limit! Exercise ; 40 mins Davina workout

Thankyou :) Im sure If I started being too hard on myself I would start to binge or something xxx

I have come to the realisation that I cannot loose a stone in 13 days, I was hoping that I would have been 9 stone for my birthday however unfortunately most things do not work out as planned! I am happy I am slimmer than last year and that will have to do. My new challenge is to just loose a...

Thankyou so much, I just looked at your progress photos you look AMAZING!! xxx

Thanks hun, Ive started to go back to being a bit more strict now with my diet and I shall make sure I do my exercising tonight! xx

Haha! I love it! you can dance all those calories off :P xxx

I have fallen off the wagon as they say this week, been eating quite a load of junk woops!! xx

Thanks hun, I hope I don't let it spoil it, kind of went a bit food crazy this week and thought I would have gained a few pounds but I have lost 2 so thats good, only a few more to go haha! xxx challenge : to be as close to 9 stone as possible for my birthday!

Hello!! I was wondering where you went too! Glad to see your back, we can keep each other motivated :D xxx

Defiantly worth it! I will just have to keep looking forward to being nine stone, sometimes its easy to forget how much you have lost because you become to used to seeing yourself everyday you forget what you used to look like so I have to keep reminding myself and not let it get me down! xxx

Thankyou hun that makes perfect sense, i will have a good look around to see what I can do to kick start it again, I might just have to try and fit in as much exercise as possible and do it in the morning or something instead of when I get home and I am super tired, thankyou xxx

I'm really finding it hard to loose any more weight, I wanted to loose another stone by my birthday (1st of december) that was always my plan and now I feel like I would have failed if I don't do it, which in turn will probably ruin my birthday as I was really excited to be 9 stone for it :cry...

Hello, firstly *hug* secondly I think you should really try and get some help with a councillor, I have exactly the same thoughts and emotions about my own body as you do, I HATE my body and after a battle of 4 years from not eating and becoming ridiculously skinny I started to feel like I was...

:o thankyou all so much, your all so lovely, I never thought I would have such kind compliments said to me. I cannot thank you all enough for keeping me motivated to loose this last stone, seeing all your weight loss is incredibly inspirational and I don't think I would have stuck at this for...

Thankyou :D Some of my friends are still like you don't look any different and I started to believe them but after seeing the photos I don't anymore, I have lost most weight off my face finally! xxx

Thankyou, that made me smile :) I asked them again yesterday if they think I have lost weight and they was like " yeah you can tell" I was like, why haven't you told me before? if my friend was loosing weight I would tell her everyday how amazing she looked so I agree about the true friend part...

Aw thankyou, true words! I have no idea, only one of my friends have said you have lost a bit of weight so it made me feel really crappy and I just gave in and thought doing what I did would be last resort to loose the weight but now I have taken the time to look back on it, it was very silly of...

Well done on not eating lots of food when you were drunk!! :happy096: I eat food I have stayed well away from for months when I drink hahaha

Thanks so much! Hahaaha, exactly thats what I keep telling myself, and strangely every time I drink few days later I loose more than the weeks I didn't drink :P xx

Thankyou!!! I have finally been made a proper member on here also so I can now read your diary and its super motivating, your so determined, very inspiring! xxx

Thankyou hun, I am totally chuffed, I thought I would have given up a few days in to this but now seeing how pretty easy it is to loose a stone I am even more determined to get down to my goal :)

Haha, me too it seems! I am totally bloated

Today is the first time I have eaten bread in around 2 months, I only had the one slice but my god I feel sick!! Just wondering why this happens, does anyone else get this, with other foods? Jade :)

Sometimes I count the calories, depending on what fruit it is, like a banana I count if I have already eaten quite a bit in terms of calories as they have around 100 calories, I however don't think counting calories in fruit and veg is necessary if your eating a well balanced diet as fruit and...

Jades diary / a stone nearly lost yay! YIPEEEEEEE, I am in the 10 stone range!! I bravely weighed myself today after having a whole lot of liquid calories one day during the week, :party0036: which turned into me drunk eating a few mini sausages covered in dip, oops I thought *I'm sure I...

Hello all! Hope everyone is doing well on the CC :) Continuing from my last post - having a bad week already for eating, trying to get back on the routine of lots of fresh fruit and veg but I'm craving junk food at the mo, (TOTM) so been filling up on snack a jacks but at 41 cals each, not too...

Hello hun, firstly welcome! I am a size 14 swell and totally hate it, used to be a size 10 but nandos ruined my figure haha, i totally understand how you feel and i have tried every diet under the sun and none have ever worked, and to the extent where i blame my yo-yo diets for how much extra...

oh good luck, it was my friends birthday two days ago and i drank WAY too much, had wine, vodka, shots, lemonade, coke, orange juice!! then i had carrot sticks but covered them in dip, i am trying to stop drinking its so hard to stop once you get started but being at uni makes it impossible, for...

Hey girls, really glad to see people of the sameish height and weight as me! im 5ft3 and was 165 pounds on the 27th of july, so far i have lost 10 pounds so it has been pretty slow and at times i want to give up when i read that people have lost 5 pounds in a week and it takes me a month to...

Defiantly seems to be what other people are saying, me being naive just assumed I would loose half a stone and notice that but no, nothing haha, I can't wait till I no longer have to de-tagg on Facebook (actually i deleted my Facebook because i hated the photos of myself people tagged me in so...

4 stone!! congratulations! that is true i suppose, also I guess as obviously i am not happy with my appearance, which is why i am trying to loose weight, that maybe i will never be happy with my body, hopefully that wont happen but i think your idea of photos and videos is fab, might start...

Yes I am the same, some of my clothes feel a bit more bigger but thats about all, wow well done on 25lbs!! I dream of the day I loose that much hehe :)

I have lost 10lbs since 27th july, my grandmother and mum are always now saying " ohh you can tell your loosing weight" or "your legs look so skinny now" but really, I haven't noticed a difference AT ALL, I think they are trying to keep me motivated rather than saying the truth that I don't look...

Defiantly not, I have been feeling a bit peckish recently and a bit weak so looking forward to having a couple of extra treats hehe :)

Thanks hun, actually now you have mentioned it, I haven't been calorie counting everyday as in adding the totals up, I just knew what food was low in calories and knew I wouldn't go over my 1000-1200 mark but now just looking back and adding up the calories everyday I consume, I am really...

jades cc diary / weigh in I have been calorie counting and exercising nearly everyday since 27th july 2010, I hardly saw any weight loss at all and gave up weighing myself as it usually just depressed me, however tempted by the wii fit scales today after doing half an hour yoga morning workout...

Thanks hun, I defiantly will stick to it, I love the food I am eating, as a student I only used to eat pot noodles, mcdonalds, 50p pizzas hehe, but now I have found a love for food, not in the old comfort eating way, but I love to try new foods, cook, use new ingredients and so on :) I also took...

Hello, my calorie intake should be 1200 a day (doctors guidance) but on most days I am not hungry and cant force feed myself to up the calorie intake, it just varies from day to day, sometimes i go over 1200 cals a day, sometimes I'm under, I am in no way starving myself or making sure I don't...

Started a while back now and kept a food diary but accidentally chucked it away :-( so starting again, I have a weeks worth of a diary to update on here, I find it will motivate me myself to share it with others and to look back at it just encase I loose this new paper diary, hope you don't mind...

Oops sorry view over here http://www.minimins.com/calorie-counting/165402-jades-diary.html

thanks ill give it a shot! :)

yep! diaster, no wonder i wasn't loosing the weight i wanted :-( ah well, learning from mistakes could be a lot worse i suppose and spent lots of money on useless dietpills rather than readymeals hehe. seeing as your great at giving advice, how many carbs would you say someone should consume to...

wow thanks that was really helpful! i think my carbs are defiantly too high, i had a check on the foods i brought that were low calories and most are around 28g of carbs in each dinner :-( silly me, spent lots of money on it all too as a student this is costing me a bomb! im going to eat the...

hey thanks for all the help! couldn't make it to the doctors today unfortunately, hopefully some time this week. i measured my hips today and i was 42-43 im now 40 my waist used to be 34-35 and i am now 32-33 my stomach was 40 now im 39 so either today i am having a slimmer day or i have...

thanks for the tip! going back to the doctors tomorrow for some more tests as they may think i have an underlying issue which is stopping me from loosing weight so hopefully the results will shed some light! im drinking a ton of water (not literally hehe) , to be honest i haven't been checking...

thanks girls, i keep a food diary everyday and my calories never go over 1200 as thats what my doctor recommended i ate to loose the weight, unfortunately i was also told i have bad genes, my grandmother was on a very successful weight loss programme, and only lost half a stone in 18 months, to...

Been dieting for around 3 weeks, eating low calories still and healthy meals, exercising every night and absolutely no change at all, not even a pound, starting to feel like i should give up :(

thankyou :) i will keep it going and pray for the best hehe

I have upped my calorie intake to 1200 now :) sometimes 1400 if I can fit it all in, just finding it very hard to stay motivated when I see no progress at all, and I am actually heavier than I thought! But I will go see a doctor and see if there is anything else I could do, maybe some diet pills...

Day 11, GUTTED :( So its day 11 of my new way of living, so far so good, until yesterday, I brought a new set of scales as my old ones got wet and stopped working, I weighed myself with them before they stopped working and I thought it said I was 11 and a half stone, with these new scales I am...

Thankyou!! xxx

Hello! I am a newbie here, my weight gain has come very quickly went from a size 8-14/16 and I blame nandos (wonder if i could sue) hehe. I weight around 11 and a half stone *scales are a bit unreliable and off to get some new ones tomorrow* My BMI is just under obese, I'm 5ft2. I want to...

wow thats fab!! how many calories a day were you on? did you exercise too? i haven't seen any difference yet im finding it very frustrating :(

Hey thanks for that, they seem great, and they have everything I was looking for too :)

Good, glad its going well! I am in need of new scales, my ones got wet and no longer work :-( but looking around at reviews on scales so many seems unreliable, adding extra pounds or taking them away! That is a great saying! I am also doing it the old fashioned way of how baggy my clothes get...

Hey! I just started CC too, I have been told the minimum should be 1200 a day but It depends on the person I suppose, I am on a lot lower (800) a day but I know I need to up the calorie intake and the people on here have giving me lots of good tips and advice on doing so. There are some really...

Thankyou all for the replies, very helpful and I will give all the tips and advice a go! How have you all done so far on your weight loss? Has CC been successful so far? xxx

Thankyou! And you :) Hows it going for you? xx

oo sounds lovely! i had a sweet and sour stir fry actually that was very nice! im thinking of doing the same, taking photos to compare, actually looking at old photos is what made me want to loose the weight hehe xxx

well done on the weight loss! and thanks for the advice :) quite a few people have told me i need to cut down on exercise, as i do it every night (cardio) i will take on board the advice on breakfast, i suppose all i can do is wait and see what happens, and maybe i will regain my appetite soon...

Definatly, I eat such lovely food now too, so much nicer than the old stuff, even the curry (low calorie one) is nicer than the one high in calories! me too i just hope i stick to it all, i often loose motivation after a month, but im sure if i see some results that will be the motivation! xx

Haha! Im doing well, I brought myself lots of good food, low calories, and for some reason, they TOTALLY fill me up, I need to eat 1200 calories a day to stay safe, but I cant fit more than the 800 in, or I feel sick, not sure whats happened, maybe my stomach has shrunk haha but its a real...

well you seem to be doing great, well done! that is fab, my scales got wet in the bathroom so i have no idea how much weight i have lost in the first week, better go get myself some soon, don't think i have lost any though, im on 800ish calories a day, burning 200ish a night on the wii, i hope i...

Hello, Im new on here, I am on a calorie counting "diet" (new way of living) I started last week, however I cant seem to get more than 800 calories in a day, crazy as it sounds! It seems the food I have brought that are low in calories have managed to fill me up for the whole day, knowing the...

Thankyou! Thats very kind of you :) Good luck on yours too! xx

Hello! Wow 8lbs that is fantastic!! Go you! How did you manage that? Spill your secrets hehe! Yes defiantly, I am very envious! I attend a fashion university and I think I am the biggest person out of the whole uni, every one else is max a size 10! xxx

Hello! Total newbie to the world of weight loss support forums and well, weight loss hehe. On a mission to loose 40 pounds, BMI is just hitting obese and at nineteen I want to change that now whilst its easier to do so, I used to be a size 8 but after many trips to nandos my weight went to 11...
