Good luck, I've restarted recently, think the first couple of days are the hardest! :)

Thought I'd share this with anyone who likes curry! My husband found a website called 123curry who sell curry mixes all ready - instead of using jars and pastes you get the spices already mixed for you in a pack. For example, you can buy a pack of the spices needed for masala and it's about £3...

All sound nice, especially roast beef! I'm having stir fry in black bean sauce or chicken casserole, haven't decided yet. Just had a prawn omelette for lunch :)

Thanks Janey26 and butterontoast, we have similar amounts to lose, good luck :) let me know how you get on too! Francesca23, thanks for the info about the boots website, will have a look now. Well done on your loss! I would like to know how long it took you too as that is about my target weight.

Thanks surfinbernard, how much are you losing having that amount on average! I'm on my iPhone so can't see the siggys! Chublock, I know what you mean about the red calorie deficit on MFP, makes me feel guilty! Well done on your weight loss so far :)

Thanks Littlesis that sounds like what I want to lose so will try 1200 and exercise. Morrigan, that is really inspiring, 4st, wow! Can't wait til I get there! :)

23lbs is brilliant, I'd be happy with that :) will stick with 1200 calories then and hope I start shifting some more weight!

Thanks Michelle1a :) Are you losing most weeks by having 1200 a day? And are you eating exercise calories too?

Thanks. Must be right then :( was hoping for more calories than that!! Iwillsoonbeslim - have you been losing 2lbs a week on 1200 a day and how much have you lost so far if you don't mind me asking?

Just wondering if anyone is a similar height/weight to me and can tell me how many calories they're having to lose weight please?! I'm 5 feet 4 inches and 14 stone (eek!) MFP gives me 1200 cals which doesn't seem enough, have been having 1200 net (which means I've been having about 1500...

Thanks lovehatecarbs, i am logging everything on mfp. Have made such big changes and is seems like for nothing! But won't give up, will make a few small changes and see what works :)

Thanks everyone for your replies :) I've had a bit of an 'off' day today after feeling despondent but will get back on it tomorrow and try decreasing the exercise a bit and see how it goes, fingers crossed x

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me posting here. I started ccing in January and posted here a few times, lost a stone and then had a blip and managed to put it back on plus another 7lbs! I started again 3 weeks ago and lost 7lbs in the first week which I was really pleased with but have lost...

Jude are the velvet crunch under 5g per 100g do you know? Will def get some if so! Thanks.

Well done Colette and sazie, hope I do so well! Xx

I looked at the baked crisps but pretty sure they went over the 5g rule :( just. Found Ben and jerrys frozen yogurts from asda at £2 each on offer - phish food and cherry Garcia :)

Thanks so my much kes, that's a big help :) am off to the supermarket now to have a look for them!

I know this isn't the right way to start my healthy eating but have been looking in the shops for low fat crisps and can't find any that are under the 5g rule! Even salt and vinegar snack a jacks are a no go :( Any suggestions would be appreciated and also any low fat chocolate or chocolate...

Colette, I know I'll be weighing myself daily, just can't resist, even though I know I shouldn't! x

Hello :) It's my second day too so we're in the same boat! Hope you're finding it okay, I feel very motivated at the moment, just hope it lasts! Not sure about the eggs sorry but I think they're okay as some people have mentioned omelettes in their diaries x

Thanks sozo and bunny :) nice that everyones so helpful and obviously doing well, looking forward to my first weigh in already!

Thanks for both of the replies, will stick to the 5g, cheers :)

Hello, Sorry if im being stupid but I'm sure I'm right in thinking that you can only have something if it contains less than 5g fat per 100g? On page 312 of the alli diet book it gives an example of a cereal bar and says it has 8g fat per 100g but only 2g of fat in the bar so it's ok to eat, is...

How are your first few days going sazie? And mrs a, it's good to hear that you've kept going as that's also my problem, get to a few weeks and get bored! Just watching my toddler eat her lunch and determined not to eat the leftovers :) xx

Thanks sazie and mrs a for your replies :) weighed myself this morning and have put on 11lbs of the 14 lbs I lost in the last few weeks, ugh :( So really back on the wagon today with xenical to help hopefully! Would love to lose 4 stone, but would be very happy with 3 or even 2.5! I'm not...

Hello, Just thought I'd say hi as I'm starting xenical on Monday and have been lurking around here the last few days picking up tips! The doctor prescribed them to me a while ago but I'm only just 'in that place' where I'm ready to give it a go, if you know what I mean. I've lost a stone on...
