Thank you so much, very much appreciated :-) x

How many Pro-Points? Hello everyone, I was hoping if somebody could tell me how many pro points me and my partner should be having? I know it's cheeky to ask, but we work very long hours in the week and weekend and don't really have time to go to a class....we could sign up online but it's...

Re: Lindsey's Gym Diary. Im gonna start downing the sugar free red bull before my gym workouts ;-)

Welcome to the forum hun, good luck on your journey :-)

Congrats on the loss :-)

Re: Lindsey's Gym Diary. I'm liking those scales at your gym hun! Lol! Well done on having another great gym an food day and congrats on the 2lb loss :-)

Lozzy! You look bloody fabulous in that picture, and your one my many inspirations on here. Don't feel down chick, I know it's easy to say, but you've come so far and achieved so much! Get out all of your photos from when you were truly overweight and remind yourself of how far you have come! x x x

Cats right hun, you really need to look at the kind of excerise you are do. I understand muscle burns calories and fat quicker but do you have quite a bit of weight to lose before target? (sorry I am on the iPhone app so can't see your stats). If you do, I would lay off the muscle build/weight...

Sorry I haven't updated this properly this week, I will start again on Monday! I have been back to work this week after a few weeks off sick and it's been tough x

I'm really sorry, but I don't really believe in the BMI and BMR calcs. A very muscular person could be considered as obese on the BMI calcs because it goes by weight. But also when I do my BMR, I get a different result from every calc! And I would find it difficult to stick to a 1000 cal deficit...

Welcome back and good luck :-)

I love the Special K chocolate chip bars, they are nice too! And the Weight Watchers Jaffa Cake bars, yum! And Quaver crisps!

Re: Lindsey's Gym Diary. That was a good idea what you mentioned the other day Lindsey, I did it today! Instead of doing overtime at work which I didn't want to do, I went to the gym :-)

1lb off this week! Happy with that, has haven't had the best week. Well done to everyone who has lost this week and good luck for next week :-)

Re: Lindsey's Gym Diary. It's my first week back at work after being off with stress and it's been all too easy just to find excuses not to go to the gym this week x x

Thanks hun! Your 100% is going well too :-)) Had a bad day today, I've had over 2000 cals and didn't do any excerise! Hopefully I will just stay the same this week.....

Re: Lindsey's Gym Diary. I'm with Shanny hun, go the gym in the day and join him for a takeaway, going to the gym beforehand will earn you it! Im naughty on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I just can't help myself on a weekend! Bad isnt it! X x x

I try to keep track of everything I am eating daily to write it down in my diary on here, but I obsess over numbers being right anyway so I think thats why I do it.. I think its a great idea just to stick to the healthy eating and excerise as a base and maybe have a treat day of a weekend...

Mmmm thanks letty sounds great! I do my chips that way anyway, but will be trying the kebab! x

Hey letty, as the others have said, it must be water retention hun, you cant have gained 2.5lbs of fat in a few days! I am exactly like you though, I hop off and on the scales daily and its so wrong of me! I really am going to try and just stick to my WI day which is Friday. Keep at it chick...

Congrats Lindsey, must have been a great feeling when the costume fit :-) Doing OK today so far, been on my Wii Fit plus and going gym later....can you see my halo?? ;-))

Sorry I didnt answer your earlier question on here! Im finding calorie counting OK so far, I think its amazing how many healthy things you can actually eat! I am eating 3 meals a day and healthy snacks and I am never hungry its amazing! Also still loving going to the gym which is scaring me...

Keep it up Lozzy your doing great :-) and well done on the gym workout!

Mmmmm pizza :-) WI in day is Friday so hopefully enough time to do some damage limitation. I said the same as you, when I am at target I want to go back shopping there!

Welcome and Good Luck :-)

Sarah, have you looked to see if theres a Pure Gym by you? Thats the gym we go to, and it costs us £9.99 a month and they have all the equipment other places do!

Durrr, meant hope the snacks and boredom *DONT* lure me in...promise! :-P Oh and also meant got back late last night so didnt go shopping, thats why I will be hunting for food! What is wrong with me today?!

Right back from Chester and had a fab weekend! Back on the CC bandwagon and at the gym tonight... Got back late last night so will be scavenging for scraps today :-) I am off work this week due to illness so hoping the boredom and snacks lure me in..... WI is in Friday so am hoping its not...

Welcome :-)) Good Luck on your CC journey!

Well done Lozzy, keep it up! I think your food diary is ace, I need to try and get mine like yours, it seems like you eat loads so it must keep you full up, yet your cal intake is so low...you've got it right! I keep thinking surely I have eaten too much, when I have only eaten like 700 cals.....

Everyone says Zumba is an ace class! Well done hun....I'm good thanks :-) Back from Chester and hoping the damage isnt too bad on WI day after all the walking we did....

I personally don't understand the whole slimming club thing, I obsess over numbers being right so perhaps that's why calorie counting works for me??

Loving the new minimins iPhone app, I'm updating this from Chester! Been to Chester Zoo today and walked around for over 4 hours so hopefully that will burn some calories!!

I'm a size 20/22 hun and I wear lettings with long tops, just make sure I wear big knickers lol. If I didn't think I looked OK in them I wouldn't wear them out! x x

So sorry to hear about your injury and your dear Grandfather as well xx

Welcome mudbabe and good luck! X

Thanks chick, I will be back on it on Tuesday! Keep up the hard work at the gym, your doing great, and you do need to eat a bit more because of the energy you will be using. Well that's my excuse! :-) Good Luck for WI tomorrow x x

Going to Chester for the weekend tomorrow, so that will involve lots of eating out, hope the walking about will counteract some of the things we eat and will be back at the gym on Tuesday!

Same here hun, used to drink gallons of the stuff! Really cut down now and just have one or two cans of it as a treat a week. Also cut out having any tea at work so drinking water all day now. Been a bit tough this week, have been eating rubbishly and not going to the gym as much as I like all...

Well done Emilie, keep it up! The weight will come off you, your doing really well. I do go to the gym 4 times a week, but also tempted to get Wii Fit out for the nights I dont go.....

hehe I'm one of those super organised people who has everything done already! But only like that because I have like 6 birthdays right before Christmas as well.....

Keep it up Lozzy, your doing great, have a good day

Well done Tazbabe and welcome back Justbaby! I hope things are going to turn around for you now, sounds a horrible year you have had! I jumped on the scales this morning and have lost a 1lb! Happy with that as I have had a terrible week food wise and not really been to the gym!

Keep it up Witchypoo your doing great! Just had a look at the Food Focus website and have signed up, seems a great way of keep track of your cals! Looking forward to seeing your progress over the following weeks :-)

Welcome and Good Luck :-)

Thanks both :-) I am going to stick to 1500 cals a day especially if I am going to be burning 700 cals off per gym session. If/when my weight loss slows down, I may drop to 1200 cals a day. :-)

Hey All, Thought I would start my first offical food diary on here. Although today is Sunday and therefore treat day I am only going to put my gym times in today :-) Burnt 705 cals today at the gym, very happy with that! When we started going 6 weeks ago, I was struggling to burn 200 cals per...

Well done on the 1lb loss! I personally love the Special K chocolate bars, find they give me that little chocolate hit in the evening

Don't know why I felt the need to say please twice! :-P

Please can I join in your Friday weigh in club please? Just starting properly on my diet :-) well done to everyone who has lost this week!

Oooo and forgot to add, will start a proper food diary post on Monday, making excuses to put it off I know!

Just jumped on the scales and down to 238lbs! Happy with that! Now very tempted to have a Chinese tonight.....

Well done on your weight loss Meltdown! I know 800 cals is way too low. I am going to the gym 4 times a week and am going to start eating 1500 cals a day, especially if I'm burning off 500 - 600 cals per gym visit.

Been to the gym today and burnt 630 cals..very happy with that!

Thanks :-)

I am 95% sure I have PCOs. I don't have regular periods at all, I can go 12-15 months without a period and when I do have one it cripples me for days. I have been to my doctors, and have had blood tests and a ovary scan. The scan did show I had cysts on my ovaries and my blood tests showed I...

Same as other people have said on the thread....I think in moderation its OK. Diet drinks have the sugar replacement, asparatame, which can be more addictive then normal sugar and is just as bad as sugar. However, as Jesca said, as long as your not drinking 6-7 cans a day it's fine. Pepsi Max is...

Thanks for the reply guys, nice to know I'm not the only one struggling :-) Could somebody please explain zigzagging to me?? Thanks, hope you have all had a great day calorie counting :-) x

hehe the problem with me is I keep putting the climbing back on the wagon off! I am one of those that keep saying I will start again Monday!! Ooo where you going on hols? Have a great time! x

Welcome Hayles! Glad you felt better for going to the gym... I'm new here too....

Hi All :) Came across this support forum while browsing Google and wanted to join.... I have been on a diet since last Monday (11th October) and have already fallen off the bandwagon. I personally dont go in for the WW or any other slimming clubs, I like to calorie count and just go to the...
