    Calorie counting books / websites - recommendations

    Thanks for the help everyone, I have a friend who's a Dietician and he highly recommended my fitness pal to me over the weekend, so I'll give that a try. In the meantime, I've eaten some salads, cut out some junk, and got back on the bike including leaving home at 4:40 am this morning to ride...

    Calorie counting books / websites - recommendations

    I decided last week on holiday after struggling to keep up with my 2 young boys (I'm 33 so should have plenty of energy!) that I'm sick of feeling lousy, lethargic, eating junk, having aches & pains especially in my back, and that it was time to do something about it. I owe it to my wife & kids...

    Hot Chocolate

    Hi folks, I know about the healthy range hot choc such as Options, but how do you figure out the calories in unbranded hot drinks, ie the hot chocolate you would get in a cafe? Are there generic figures for these anywhere? Done with SW and WW, just trying to calorie count for a few weeks and...

    BMI Healthy Range

    Am I right in thinking that you get to Gold membership (ie free weigh-ins/meetings!) when you get into the 'healthy' range of your BMI? I ask because I'm tall and of big build and the very top end of 'healthy' for me seems virtually impossible to me. Seems like I will be paying forever unless...

    Cafe Bacon Butty Points

    I sometimes grab lunch at the cafe where I play golf, I am not sure how you're supposed to work out points for greasy spoon type cafe meals. Is there some kind of generic list for these anywhere? I basically have a bacon butty which consists of a fairly big white barm cake, some spread, 3...

    June challenge

    Managed it! Lost 3 last week so 11 off in total (target was 10 off in first 4 weeks through June). Need to try hard as July includes birthday and a week away, then we're away quite a bit in August too. Out of curiosity, this may seem very sad but - has anyone popped into a meeting to get...

    For those who have swapped SW for WW

    Hi Topper, I'm 2 weeks into WW after having done SW and losing over 2 stone on it, however when I got to a weight I was pleased with, for some unexplained reason I flipped, went off the rails and started stuffing my cakehole like I was making up for all the naughty stuff I'd been missing out...

    Brewer's Fayre

    I did feel very bad on the night, I was furious with myself later on, I ate so much I didn't think I'd be able to get to sleep, as long as you dust yourself off and come out fighting the next day, thats the main thing! Actually I think my face-stuffing antics that day taught me a good lesson...

    Brewer's Fayre

    Whoops, when I got in there I saw that it was eat all you like fish and chip buffet, I totally lost the plot and chose this, stuffed my face, and felt dreadful for the rest of the night.

    First time Weight Watcher!

    Hi all, its my first time on WW. Had success with SW before but after leaving and going back to it for one more pitiful attempt that lasted a mere couple of weeks before I flipped and piled on more weight, taking me to more than what I was when I first started it :(, I decided I needed the...
