in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm looking to lose about 14lbs, so not a great deal but it bloody feels like it! I'm following a low calorie diet, not eating between 8pm-9am(late at night is my bad snacking time, and I never have time to eat a proper breakfast in the morning before I take the kids to school, but I usually grab a few biscuits or something and THEN have breakfast when I get back, and those extra few hundred calories really do count, so no more late night/early morning snacking for me). I am also doing the 30 day shred (day 1 today actually!) and walking lots.

I'm hoping to meet some great people and hope we can support and encourage each other!

    Hi new girl you can be my friend, but only if you promise not to become friends with any of the weirdo's on here who are just too uptight. Also eat whenever you want, it doesn't matter. Welcome to MFP hold onto your hat!

    ^ Yep. Weirdos. The lot of them.

    Oh, I see on your profile that you like to bake cakes. What about pie?

    When I saw your avatar, it reminded me of a post I read somewhere;


    THINGS YOU WILL NEVER HEAR SOMEONE SAY

    "That's just too much bacon."

    ^Second this. The only reason you should avoid anything is if you are allergic or have an existing medical condition that warrants this by your doctor or/and registered dietitian.

    How is that bad advice? Really I guess it depends on what your goals are. You can eat crap and still lose weight at a calorie deflict..but you're gonna look like crap. When it comes to body composition.. what you eat DOES matter. Eat good, feel good, look good. This has all been my experience anyway.

    And I don't need a dietitian to tell me that a double cheese burger with fries and a coke is bad for me.

    For weight loss, calories matter. For body composition, macros matter. For health, micronutrients matter.

    All the crazies above are my friends (well. . . not all of them. I'll let you pick which one of these things is not like the others.)

    Here's a great place to get started:
