I have to agree. I've tried all sorts of diets but think that calorie counting is the only one out there which will give you that quick boost which is a great motivation to keep up with the diet etc. I don't exercise and going by the tools on my fitness pal it says I should be eating 1200-1300...

Wow! Thank you for this morrigan. I will definitely be stocking up. I find one isn't enough of something but 6 will feel like piggery and will only be 79 calories. I found some meringue nests yesterday quite big and only 50 calories per nest. I had one with a few strawberries in and it felt...

Well for 1 level teaspoon of the weight watchers sour cream and chive dip it's original 1/2 syn, green 1/2 syn. Normal sour cream I think is about 1.5 syn per tablespoon. You could always use total fat free Greek yoghurt if you needed more than a couple of level spoonfuls on your potato...

Have you ever tried jacket sweet potato? It is amazing and is so moist inside I have had it with just a sprinkle of salt. Or with low fat sour cream. :) x

I'm on a low calorie diet. When I'm good I manage to have fruit or porridge for breakfast. Then a soup for lunch. I snack on fruit mainly oranges apples or blue berries and then a light dinner. I eat lots of miso soup and add vegetables or I have a dinner of salad and vegetables with fish such...

Thank you Irene. X

Exactly. Do you have much to lose? Its so frustrating isn't it! I get so annoyed with myself. Haha x

Hi Alex I have the same problem as you. I eat for the sake of it. I ate a whole block of cheese the other day. I eat even when I'm full. I had dinner last night and had been good all day and had a Greek dinner. Then stopped at the shop on the way home and got some ice cream and 2 chocolate...

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. It really helps to speak to someone who understands. My boyfriend eats whatever he wants and complains he is getting skinny! I was so good all week but then my friend gave me a pick and mix from her work and I ate the whole bag then stopped at...

Hi everyone, I know I shouldn't weigh myself everyday but I do.... One question. Why when I have 2 naughty days do I put on 6 lbs but when i have 3 good days I lose 1lb? It just doesn't add up. It really upsets me that I'm now back to more than I weighed on Monday because I ate a few...

Thank you. How have you controlled the binging. Half of the problem is that he has nice things in the house. When I know they are they it's all I can think about and I eat the lot. I ate a whole bag of salted peanuts the other day along with his nice bread and 2 packets of crisps. Then went...

I put on weight doing slimming world. I have a huge appetite and have to follow a calorie controlled diet or weight watchers for results. On slimming world I ate lots of free food and ended up eating more calories than I was on a usual day. This was about 6 or 7 years ago now so it may have...

30g is nothing. An average bowl of cereal is about 60g plus. Its deceiving really. I have cereal as a treat. :( If you don't have scales what about buying the cereals in individual boxes. I think you get a variety pack of 8. That way you know the amount you are having. Or better still for...

I can't have cheese. A few slices here and there equals the whole thing! I ate a massive block of it in one afternoon. Why do bad things have to taste so good? :( X

Hi, You're not alone. You sound very similar to me! I've dieted on and off for the last 10 years (I'm 30 now) and I can understand how you're feeling. I know what I feel comfortable looking like and I don't look like that now. :( even though everyone says I shouldn't worry and should be happy...

I love reading all the tips. I usually have a cup or green tea or tea. It really takes the edge off the hunger. Also if I'm craving something naughty usually around 3pm I have an options hot chocolate. They are very sweet but very low in calorie and always help with the sugar cravings. I feel...

Im a calorie counter. If you are going to be walking around whilst eating I'd say boots shapers sandwich or marks and Spencer count on us sandwich, however if you have the time to sit down and you live near a Pret a manger go there and have one of their soups. They are really chunky and filling...

If you are calorie counting do you write everything down that you eat and drink? I calorie count using myfitnesspal app and it's incredible how much drinks and little things can add up to. Sometimes it's easy to leave those things out and forget. Milk etc all have calories and some fruits are...

Hello, I'm new here and have decided that it would be good to join a support forum as it's so much easier to lose and maintain weight with other people than it is on my own. I really miss having someone to motivate and be motivated by and someone to share advice and tips with and just to chat to...
