I weigh myself every morning- my scales remembers me and puts a green or red light on depending on which way I go... so I prefer to only weigh myself once a day, however when living at home I did it a lot. I guess there's no harm in it but make sure you always get your true weight first thing (after a wee!) xxx

Oooh those scales sound really cool, where did you get them? I need some new ones for when I move out

App should tell you when you first using it. There is a bit that does your goals and works out your cal intake.



It worked out 1800 for me, now this is enough for me to lose weight on but i am only using about 1500 and i am eating plenty, just the healthier choices are less.



Its Fab i love it.

Hi All
I have paid £90 towards my debts today. The weight side of things is not going so well. Today I have eaten a load of rubbish and the weekend was no better. I am just under 5ft tall and weigh in at 14st 12lbs.

I gave up on dieting a while ago as they just don't work for me(I have tried many including the wierd and wonderful) but at the moment even the effort invovled in making a food plan and having to decide what to eat just feels like too much. As a result I am picking up the quickest and easiest things which, inevitably, are junk food. Also, it is almost like I forget that I need to make good food choices and today for example after making cupcakes with the kids I unconsiously shoved several in my mouth ( not all at once) with a cup of tea. I need to get some sort of routine going where I sort of re-set each day and remind myself of my priorities. I am going to do this every morning, although I am not sure what form his wil take yet. If anyone else has some ideas I would appreciate any advice.

I am heading off on holiday for the next two weeks or so but I think I haev internet access where i am and will try to keep up with this thread each morning as part of my new routine.

Best of luck to eveyone.

I'm just popping in to say ice cream free for three days!! wooo!! That's a huge achievement for me. Really craving now though, but there is none in the house thank god. But i'm going to go to bed to avoid any temptations.

Not sure I added my starting weight, which is 18st 6lb :eek::(. I'm gonna weigh in on Wednesday this week as I'm off to Silverstone for the grand prix this weekend, so no scales and not a particularly healthy diet ahead lol

Well done for being ice-cream free. For me it is refined sugar that I need to stay away from.

I have just got up early and done a small Yoga session as part of my new morning routine. Found it really hard going but know I just need to build up. Off to make a healthy lunch now.

I did, put my weight it etc but it said 2400 calories, unless I have done it wrong, but not sure how you can! I thought 1600 would be a good goal, I do alot of excercise so this might go up by 100 depending on how I feel!

Went for my first jog last night, and to my utter surprise really enjoyed it. Ok well I walked for 5 minutes and jogged for 1 and repeated 5 times, but I was huffing and puffing in the last set and climbing the stairs home!!

Today I walked to work and spinning class is tonight. I think my aim will be to do at least one set of exercise a day, a good 30 mins worth.

Food wise, I forgot lunch and breakfast (sat in fridge at home) but will not be tempted by bad food in canteen today……..i hope.

Have a healthy day everyone J
