36Lb down so far since January 3rd 2011. I have no plans to let it get back on either. Well done all, your losses are fantastic.

Well done! Changing old habbits can be a hard thing to do, and you should be very proud of yourself for managing to do it. Half the battle with weight loss is getting the right 'mind set' to do it. Looks like you have found yours :)

Oh i like this idea. Im in, crisps and chocolate. I dont have them often but im sure they do me no good. :) Fattack - Chocolate Betterforever- crisps and snacks Shazzabir - Crisps & pizza Caroline - snacking Laura Jayne - Crisps & Chocolate

Welcome to the forum and good luck :)

I've just discovered Nakd wildly different orange infused raisins! They are scrummy. 75kcal per pack and they count as one of your 5 a day. I've only seen them in Asda so far. They also do pinapple, cherry and lemon ones but the orange ones are by far the best in my opinion.

LOL lindsey, aint Nans wonderful :P I was chuffed to have walked into my chaps parents house and have his dad do a double take with a 'ruddy hell gal, you've lost some weight', thats about as good as it gets from Tony. But its always nice to hear it, i spend so much time looking in the mirror i...

Thanks all for your words of encoragment. Im sorry for rambling on with my last post but i was on a total downer. So, my second first weigh in came in at 13st 5lb. Not too much damage and hopefully easy to put back on the right track. Im trying to look at the loss differently now, i always get...

Hi guys. I have decided...I hate easter! There is no other way to put it...i hate it. My partner took me away for a wonderful long weekend to wales with amazing weather (i have the sunburn to prove it) and, well, you know how it is. I got into the 'Im on holiday so it wont hurt' mentality...

My NSV today was eatig that orange i had downstairs instead of the packet of crisps i know i have in the cupboard.....and ironically, i think i enjoyed the orange more than i would have the crisps. Really been struggling with the crisps so this is a biggie for me

Hi gals (and guys) I figured 12 weeks into this i really should start logging my intake. If i AM doing anything wrong its hard to get feedback without putting this up. So firstly My BMR atm is 1936 (unfortunatly i lead a sedatary life, desk jobs are not diet frendly). I had planned on aiming for...

Week 12 STS. Not worrying about it though. Started keeping a food diary today with i have posted on the diary section, if anyone has any hints or tips how to improve it, it would be appreciated. Also, started taking Alli so it will be intresting to see how it works out.

Thanks Happyhealhy :) Im not quiting this time round. For once i have made up my mind that its now or never...and i wont let it be never. I have many things to do this for, im engaged to the man i love and really want to do him proud on the wedding day, plus, we want kids in a few years and i...

Well done CeeCee :)

Dont get down about not loosing. Believe me, been there and done that! Your body will soon adjust and the weight will start comming off. You yourself, will still be working out the proper portion sizes ect so it can take a while to get into the swing of things. Small changes over the next few...

Im very happy today! My weekly weigh in finally shows i have now passed the 2 stone lost mark. 11 weeks in and 29lb down. Im just petrified that i will fall off the wagon again and end up putting it all back on and then some, thats how all my other diets went. But to be fair, they never got to...

Thanks all for your kind words. Looks like sticking with it has paied off as things are moving once again. Im sure these things happen just to try us at times :)

Grats on the loss. Tuesday is my day unfortunatly

Welcome Gemgemz To work out your calorie needs you need to calculate your BMR BMR Calculator. After this use your total and calculate though Harris Benedict Equation how many calories per day you should be eating to maintain your current weight. Minus 500 per day for 1lb per week loss or 1000...

Your start weight would highly effect the amount of calories you would need to take in to achieve weight loss. You should (if you have not already) work out your BMR for starters. The following link is to the site i use for this. BMR Calculator Once you have this figure use Harris Benedict...

Welcome to the forum and good luck :)

After a poor week last week with no change to my weigh in weight i am happy to say that i have lost another 2 1/2lb this week. Back on track i think and things are looking up. Im chuffed that for once, a week with no loss didnt knock me right off my diet. Proved to myself this week that i CAN do...

I'm a little down today as i have not managed to shift any weight for the last 2 WEEKS! I have been good every day, started doing more exersise so im not sure why i'm having problems. Seems to be i hit 13 stone 12lb and just stopped. Its really disheartening atm, seems all my hard work everyday...

Another 1lb down for me so far. 6Lb lost 8lb to go. Though i had a bot of a scare yesterday, managed to pass out after having a hot bath and im not sure if i was partly due to the fact i havnt been eating enough. Needless to say, i have a sore head and shoulder today :(. I'm going to take a re...

Everybody needs a break from time to time, dont beat yourself up for one weekend of naughtiness. I think that the times we do allow ourselves a treat whilst dieting are the ones most enjoyed. As long as you get back on track and stick with it again its all good. Sorry to hear about your injury...

Wii active is more about toning. The squats really do hurt and you know you have done it the day after, but i am enjoying it. Really like the online function with it to where you can workout in a cloass with people all over the world.

I use flora lighter than light marg. Really like the taste and 10g is only 19 kcal (well according to the lid lol). This way i dont have to worry about putting it on my sandwiches ect.

Well done, fantastic start :)

Welcome and good luck :)

Thanks for this :) I have been feeling bad all day as a dear friend of mine decided to bake sausage rolls at for everyone at work, and i felt obliged to take one as she stood there staring at me. Been feeling really bad about eating it all day as i have avoided sausage like a plague. I guess a...

Good luck Sarah Louise, im sure you will do fantasticly well :)

Week 6 complete. Another 1lb off. Total loss now at 18lb. I dont mind a slow week with only 1lb loss, always adds to the bigger picture. Will be happy to see those 13's on the scales soon :)

My birthday is 23rd of march and my chap always takes me on a long weekend in wales for it, i would love to be a stone lighter for then :). So starting from today (14stone 4lb) ill set a 14lb target. I had some major motivation this weekend and know it possible, dropped a dress size :) cant...

Week 5 complete and keeping this up has gotten easier by the day :) 2lb loss this week bringing my total loss in 5 weeks to 17lb. Bring on the next week :P

In the morning i for breakfast i have a 35g serving of cheerio Klusters with orange top milk (1% fat), 1 actimel and 200ml fresh orange juice. First break at work would be a peice of fruit and water. Dinner at work would be a sandwich (no more that 150 kcal), 1 piece of fruit and water. and...

Thanks sgcoolchick :) I dont really keep a diary to be honest, just keep my calorie intake at aprox 600 per day (my BMR is just over 1600), plus eat a lot of fruit and do at least 30 mins 5 days a week on wii active, plus my auntie gave me a treadmill which is fatastic. I have struggled in...

Week 3 all done, been hitting my wii active hard this week, wich is a great workout :) seems like it has paied off, another 6lb down :) thats the first stone gone for good. Needless to say, i have been in a very good mood today :)

Good luck with the diet, im sure you will do great :)

1lb loss :) such a relief, seems the plateau may have finished

Tomorrow is my second week weigh in, and im worried its not gonna be a good result for me. Seem to have hit a plateau very early on :(. I usually weigh myself every other day as any loss helps me keep motivated and remind me why im fighting my constant sugar cravings!! Well fingers crossed for...

I have just gotten back from buying myself the new wii active 2, pestered my chap till he took me to get it. Bonus, it was on special too, so ill get the old wii hooked up and use it for something useful for once. Lets see how that effects my results

I usually find i plateau very early on which usualy knock me right off my diet (not this time round though). Your body will kick back into gear soon. And on the plus side, even a small loss is still a loss :). I would be extatic to manage 3lb per week over 4 months, grats on that achievment

Congratualtions on an amazing first week loss :) keep up the good work :P
