I'm struggling to lose anymore weight. My friend gave me some simple slimmers world recipes to try I've tried a couple. Let's see if these work. Crust less quiche. Coke chicken. Both so far quite nice. 

Have you tried disociated diet? If your stuck you need to change a little bit the meals. I am losing weight with this diet: in the morning kefir plus 1 spun of colon help plus 1 banana, 1th snack 1 apple or peach or seeds, lunch salad with cabbage, tomato, black beans, chickpeas, cucumber, red onion, peppers, parsley and cheese. Snack a fruit or seeds and dinner same salad but with fish. Hope it helps.  

Thank you for your advice. I eat a wide variety of green salad leaves peppers onion radish served with a meat or fish. A hour or so later snack fruit. Berries normally. I drink cranberry juice.  

You are welcome! Thats healthy food, it is food. An hour later for fruits is too soon I think,you need between 2-3 hours berween a meal and snak, but to be sure google it. Do you make the cranberry juice? 

You need to log EVERYTHING you eat, not just SOME of it. It is the things you don't log that quickly mount up and put you over your RDI. 

I log everything. I'm not a picker as such. I don't eat biscuits. Bread, crisps .I don't drink fizzy pop I do drink coffee and I'm trying to cut out sugar.that is my biggest obstacle. I don't like coffee without sugar. I'm told I will eventually get used to it.  

I have tried to cut things put in the past but get really moody and just crave it all the time, I have since started slimming world and it is amazing. I can eat what I want including sugar and pasta meat etc I have been doing it for 13 weeks and lost over 1 stone, I really recommend it. Good luck with your journey xx 

@Lynnejulie - one thing I'd suggest - not picking, mind you, just an observation - but quite often, the food log selections that FS offers for things aren't necessarily accurate to your own exact situation - if you make them yourself, fair dues - but I've noticed myself that people's contributions can be very vague and non-specific (and some that I found out there are incorrect - sometimes by 50% of the calories for the amount they listed!). So it's buyer beware for for any log entries that aren't precisely yours. And - especially if you're at a lower weight anyway, it's not hard to be off each day by 200-300 cals, effectively masking enough to throw off weight loss. I have a slow loss right now because my deficit is little, on purpose - a couple hundred calories would BE my deficit, and I'd then not lose weight. I try to be sure it's pretty precise - the right brand, the right size/info, the right % of fat, or what-have-you. Here's a case in point: "Coffee with Milk and Sugar"....30 cals. Well, this depends....if that's not your own entry, it could be throwing you off - because ...how much milk? What type of milk...whole? 2% nonfat? goat's milk? And how much sugar? This is why I just find it's safer to log those little specifics separately, i.e. 5g of sugar, 2oz of 2% milk, then the tea or coffee itself. I weigh my butter before it goes on the bread, and I weigh the bread. If I don't, I could easily eat 200 calories that I didn't know I ate - because I love butter! :-) I know it might sound tedious, or nitpicky - but for me, that's how I'm sure as I can be what I actually have each day. I hope this helps. If you are logging diligently - that's awesome, but be sure the items you're picking from the database reflect the products you're using. I hope, sincerely, things get going for you again soon! :) 

My comment was because your food diary is set for "This is some of what I ate.". 

I'm not eating anything processed everything is cooked and prepared fresh. I'm not feeling hungry. I'll be totally honest I've got more energy. I'm not gonna way myself yet. I've lost a inch around my waist in three days. I'm impressed.
