    Quick question

    Think you may have posted in the wrong section. What sort of shakes are they?

    my diet.

    This sounds really good to me, although i'm no expert. Having a cleanse of only fruit and veg should be a really good thing for your body. 1400 calories a day should give you a steady loss of just over a pound a week.

    MOTIVATION!!

    I think Daisybank has summed it up for me. There aren't many pictures of me at the moment. I'm going to get some sexy underwear and some skimpy clothes for the hot weather. Feeling confident in my appearance and not being the large one when i am out is probably one of the biggest things for...

    Diet advice please?

    I'm managing to loose weight by calorie counting. I eat the same foods ( have lots of food intolerances so am restricted to what i can eat) just small portions. I am trying to eat the foods i would normally have as i wouldn't last a week on just salad, etc. I think determination has been the key...

    The Confessional!

    Big Confession - Yesterday i had a day off from the diet, completely off, for the first time since i started. It had got to mid afternoon and i had been snacking a little bit anyway. I then had a glass of wine on the patio and that was it. I decided to have a day off. By the end of the day it...

    Rice bread is in the free from sections in supermarkets. It makes alright toast. Unfortunately it is fairly high in calories, as is most gluten free bread. I would avoid it if you don't have to eat it.

    Ear accupressure for weight loss

    My mum has brought me some accuslim accupressure beads which are meant to help weight loss. I was wondering whether anyone else had ever heard of them/tried them. They are small metal beads on a bit of sticky plaster that you put on the back of the rim of your ear, just below half way up. They...

    Saying Hello

    I am around 1500 to 1800 for an average day but i do try to overestimate the calories i'm having so if i've had just over 250 then i will count it as 300. I don't weigh stuff and just guess the calories for most things unless it is stated on the packet. This breaks down to breakfast being about...

    The something that has motivated you today thread

    The thought of the warm weather coming is definately motivating me. I'm going to Cornwall at the end of June and want to look slim on the beach. I felt really big when i was on holiday last year. I'm also motivated by the thought of spending the summer without my thighs rubbing together and...

    What diet-friendly thing have you done today?

    Just been for a half hour brisk walk and am feeling exhilarated :character00238:. It's a beautiful day out there and it seems a shame to be sitting around inside.

It has been around eight or nine years since i was in that range so i have decided to go down to that size and then work out my final target. I imagine it may be a bit less than...

    I've just cheered myself up. I was about to have a second brandy and diet lemonade (the first was counted into the days calorie count) due to a rather hellish trip round Tesco's :mad:.
