Hi all, I (re)started calorie counting this week after visiting my doctor and being told to lose weight! I lost a few stone by counting 5 years ago and kept it off until I had my son, but since him have messed about between diets and binging!

The difficult bit is definitely getting your head in line and sticking, even a small slip up is fine as long as the next day you keep going with healthy!

I agree we are all human after all a slip and then as long as you get back on it calorie counting works.. I am maintaining now I still count.. I still slip though most of the time I stay healthy I have the most horrendous sweet tooth though!! I don't deprive myself of sweet things completely but I can add the odd treat into myfitnesspal and stay within my maintenance calories I try not to beat myself up too much when I go over just move on and say tomorrow will be a better day where I will not trough pick and mix!! my other weakness is cheesecake btw I literally can not resist it!! Luckily not too commen occurance, usually when my nan offers me a slice of homemade cheesecake or if I go out for dinner and cheesecake is on the pudding menu!

Can I just ask steff what calories you were on to lose the weight and what you are now maintaining at? I haven't been able to find your diary as I'm too new, xx

Hey my diary is in members only think you need 50 posts.. Was losing on between 1200 and 1400 calories my maintenance is at 1830 due to my active lifestyle and my gym activities.. I eat some but not all of my excersize calories to maintain.. Which is kind of what I was doing when losing too I ate extra calories when I felt I needed them

I'll just need to get replying more! Thank you for telling me though! I'm trying to keep my calories low enough to lose well but not so strict that I can't keep doing it? And realising that I'll need to stay in control of my intake even when I get to maintenance mode?

Think of it as a lifestyle change not just a diet choose healthier options I used to have oven chips and baked beans with my dinner every day now chips are rare and a treat when it comes to maintaining if you are excersizing alot you will find you can eat far more just to prevent yourself from dropping any more weight!!
