One myth about meals is that you have to eat so that you're full, that's not the case at all. You just have to eat enough so you are satisfied and not hungry anymore. I think a lot of people end up eating double what their body needs at most mealtimes.
sorry stolen from first page, why the hell would you not mix protein and carbs? Its fat and carbs that shouldnt be mixed in the same meal
EDIT* I've just now read through it all and my god some of the diet advice/past stories are horrifying! They would only do your body more harm than it is worth. If you do actually want some advice, e-mail is in trust but im on exams so dont be taking the mic, dont want to be wasting my time.
As for your 'miracle hunt.' Diet based on your needs, exercise routine based on what you want and can handle - that is all that's required. And please for god sake see it as a change of lifestyle, not another 'diet' this will just see you yo-yo'ing forever.
Im unable to exercise is basically any form due to injuries and as such have lost my once decent shape, least im back in track with the diet now after some depressed months. You've got the chance to change your life and body, its simple, get some motivation, get some determination, grow a pair of nads and keep consistent

Like me at the moment. The meals my mum and grandma made up for me to take back after xmas are twice the amount i would usually eat. What i should really do it half the meals made. But im lazy and just defrost in microwave then cook in microwave and eat it all
I know, I always eat protein and carbs. Tuna pasta mayo is a prime meal in any household!
In Islam, we're taught to eat so that are stomachs are 1/3 food, 1/3 liquid and 1/3 air, shame I ain't got quite the hang of how to tell, tbh it's mums fault for feeding me too much lol. I am getting better though, cut down on junk food really helps, my skin is healthier too
Congratulations on the weightloss.
Were you left with any loose skin? You lost a lot of weight very quickly, many are left with it because the skin hasn't/didn't have enough time to readjust.
No, it's fine. That's roughly 2 pounds a week which is exactly the timeframe you should lose weight at for that not to happen.
You can easily eat 4-5 mouthfuls and that's all you need in a meal.
I do have a bit of spare skin but nothing unsightly.
As some has already said if its a steady weight loss you don't get that problem as much. I also exercised a few times a week which helped.
Edit - Also the Slimming world diet isn't about not mixing proteins and carbs, what they do is limit the amount you have of one or another, but you can change which you have most of every meal.

1 pound = ~3500 calories
1 stone = ~49k calories
10 stone = ~490k calories
he wouldve have to have used around 35000 calories more than he ate a day which is physically impossible
This. Especially the bolded parts.
I advise anyone wanting to lose weight AND become a healthy human being to visit forums.johnstonefitness.com and read the faqs in the beginner and losing fat sections. Many people have misconceptions about losing weight but the ways used here are the best for your body (and scientifically correct) No shortcuts, no cheats, just hard work and careful planning. Significant and proper results take time; if you want to lose 10lbs of fat it shouldn't take '3 DAYS!' it should take at least 3 weeks.
Yes, I would guess so, but don't take my word for it. Metformin increases fertility but not directly.
Bit of info:
"If hyperinsulinemia, due to insulin resistance, truly produces the clinical short and long-term manifestations of PCOS, then treatments that decrease insulin resistance should also decrease hyperandrogenism and restore cyclic menses, alleviating the major cause of infertility associated with PCOS.
[...]
The best therapy is lifestyle modification with weight loss. Weight reduction, improved nutrition, and exercise are behavioral modifications that should be encouraged as first-line therapy for obese PCOS patients. If diet and exercise fail, then medications may be introduced to improve peripheral insulin sensitivity and achieve a reduction in insulin secretion. Some of the oral insulin sensitizing medications approved by the FDA for the treatment of Type II diabetes are metformin (Glucophage) and thiazolidinediones such as rosiglitazone (Avandia) and pioglitazone (Actos).
[...]
There is overwhelming evidence from at least three well performed randomized controlled trials and several cohort studies indicating that when taken with clomiphene citrate, metformin enhances the probability of ovulation and pregnancy. There is controversy over the mechanism of action. Some suggest that these outcomes were due to the weight loss that results when using metformin."
Loads of complicated yet interesting info here: http://www.infertilityspecialist.com/metformin_kutner.html
Never knew that. That's smart though, I like it, might try to remember that rule from now on...
You have just described my cutting routine
The result have been pretty slow (lost half a stone in 2-3) months, but I seem to have put on some muscle in the process, oddly!
I aim for 2300 calories a day, with a moderate / heavily protein based diet. I have decided that a large stir fri with noodles and chicken is possibly the most balenced meal ever.

What have you been doing to lose the weight so far? Do you exercise or just eat better? I would say something like swimming and/or jogging would probably help.

You could do with losing a couple of stone. Aim for 13.5 stone.
Eat 1500 calories a day until you get there.
Short answer
