One stupendously happy MFP member!

Well, I am stunned! I got weighed first thing this morning and was pretty shocked to learn that I have dropped 2.5 lbs during the last 7 days. When I enrolled with MFP last Friday and I read the calorie requirements it suggested I was incredibly apprehensive; I had never considered eating so many calories whilst dieting before (1890 cals). I have tried ultra low calorie diets and ultra ultra low calorie diets (under 250 cals per day – with exercise!), so you can imagine how I felt about 1890 calories. I decided to stick with it for a week and see what happens. And BOY, AM I GLAD I DID!!! I am utterly chuffed to bits (as we say over here in the UK).

I have eaten good sized portions of food every 3 hours throughout the day, every day, and haven’t felt hungry once. On top of that, because I am eating so much I feel energised, which in turn makes me want to do even more exercise! I simply cannot stress enough how incredibly happy I am with MFP. My weight loss had stagnated over the last couple of months but now it’s all systems go again. Thanks to every one of my friends for their words of encouragement during the week – it means a lot. And thanks to the developers of MFP – I’ll sing your praises to all who’ll listen!
