Great!! Yay this gonna be motivating :) gonna log on every day so that it will keep me motivated :)

That's a really good idea! Must do that with a ribbon :) have never stuck to lent so have decided that this is the year I'm going I do it! Giving up diet coke (I'm such an addict!) and sticking to plan 100%! I really need to get calories outta my head! Some days that I've stuck to plan and then...

Who's with me? My aim is to stick to plan 100%! If I mess up-then it comes out of my weekly syns so no excuses :) Bring on day 1!!!

I'm going to stick to plan 100%-no cheating!!! Also going to give up diet coke! I'm ridiculous...I drink nearly 6 cans a day!!! Agh!!

I like that idea of changing my breakfast every day! I'm I a rut ad keep eating the same breakfast! I'm going to stay on plan 100% this week and going to save up syns for sat night alcohol rather than cheekly not counting alcohol ones!!! I know I know!! :)

Sounds absol perfect :)

I know, I'm confused with all the chopping and changing too so as of this morning I'm doing sw 100% and no cal counting!!! I'm still 147.6lbs so hoping for a loss by Wednesday! Gonna try weigh twice a week! How are you getting on?? X

How do you make lasagna sheet nachos?!!

Thanks kimmykins :) just the motivation I need :) gonna scrap the calorie counting and stick with sw 100% :) I find I definitely eat so much healthier on it anyway which I'd definitely better!

I've been switching between sw and cc and kn getting nowhere cause I know I need to pick one and stick to it :( I'm 5'4" and 147 and my goal is 120lbs. I hope to reach it by July. Do you think this is possible with sw?

Agh I'm so annoyed with myself :( I've been chopping and changing between sw and bmr cals (1455) and only weighing once weekly. I'm so disappointed but I knew I hadn't been good this week :( its Tom next week so I'm hoping it's that but I'm gonna go back to 1200 net cals now (what worked for me...

Thanks guys! When is everyone else weighing in? X

If I have any advice for you it is this...use the one rule of slimming world where you have 1/3 of every plate super free (fruit or veg) I find this really helps with weight loss! Eg. I uses to have noodles for lunch (yummy!) but found I was hungry a few hours later (they only the small Tesco...

I've started to up my cals from 1200 to my BMR (1455cals) cause I don't want to lose muscle! I read that eating below your BMR for long periods of time causes muscle loss (hence why you see celebs with skinny arms but major bingo wings and no tone at all!) if your afraid to eat your BMR cause...

Heya, good work on getting one! I've got one and find them brilliant to use when weather is too crappy outside to walk! My battery thing isn't working so I'm not sure how many km's I go but I usually do low gears but fast intensity rather than high gears and slower. I do it like that cause I...

Heya im just curious, I usually try to stick to 1200 daily. And lose bout 2lbs a week when I'm sticking to it. How many do you eat and how much do you lose? X

Yea I'm the same, I tend to lose for a few weeks and then I sts the same for a few, very annoying! Tried to weigh myself monthly to get a better idea of things but realised that I end up gaining as eat more cause I don't have to be accountable for it every week!

It takes 72 hours for your body to go into starvation mode so I wouldn't worry about having breakfast late. The only thing is that it takes 50cal to start up your metabolism in the morning (ie obviously your metabolism is slower when you sleep!) I used not to eat breakfast until I found that...

Hey all, just a quick question for you all..I'm lactose intolerant and don't even drink soya milk so I'm wondering do you think I could use a soya yoghurt (98cal) as my healthy extra a? Or do I not have it at all? Thanks x

Heya, I'm lactose intolerant. My stomach started getting really bad 2 years ago and they had me on gastro meds for a possible stomach ulcer which didn't help at all! Got allergy testing done and found out I was intolerant to dairy and wheat. Have been able to reintroduce wheat into my diet but...

I'm gonna stick to it for awhile (till after Christmas anyway) ill be weighing tomorrow and throwing out my scales and getting one in jan-will be interesting! I'm eating bout 1500 a day and not eating my exercise calories as put that in as lightly active! The way I see it...if I eat 1200 a day...

Ohhh!! Makes sence now! I'm the same as you so 1460 a day :) I'm lightly active so should have been 1850 a day but that seemed too high so I went with the sedentary at 1660! Which I ate yesterday but walked an hour and on my feet all day so hopefully will be ok! So my cals now changing to 1460...

What's the tdee? Sorry did the formula but not sure what figure your talking about? And are ya supposed to minus 20%? X

Yea of course I will! I'm gonna do the sedentary calories as eating 1850 (lightly active) scares me! So the sedentary is 1660cals. Very interested to see how I do! I walk 30-60mins daily about 5days a week-I'm not a fan of exercise but enjoy walking to and from work! My starting stats for week...

Oh wow squishy! That sounds so yum!! I am such a peanut butter addict! I try to keep it to a tablespoon a few times a week though!! X

Ok cool! Yea very confusing! I'm gonna try the sedentary one for a week and see how I get on! 1600! Seems alot compared to 1200 but I'll give it a go and see what I weigh in a week! Have you been doing it for long? You losing? X

Heya, I'm thinking of trying low carb! I weighed myself this morning and I'm 10st 2lbs!!! Back in June I was 8st 9lbs :( I've basically just been binging on take aways and junk food and feel like crap! I have a major sugar addiction so was thinking of trying low carb. I did Atkins before a few...
