    Is this a silly question... How do we prove the weight loss? Do you just trust us to give you the right figures? I weighed yesterday but today i got my new scales so they now sync with MFP and i can see what i weigh here. But i've lost 2lb in 1 day! So now i'm 197 not 199. But how do i prove i started at 199?

    Hey team! I’m back on the Gutbuster’s team after a short leave - I had a baby 6 weeks ago so I’m cleared to start exercising. I’m excited to get my body back and start focusing on being healthy again!

    Aaaand, now I really want to go back and edit those bulletpoints, but MFP isn't allowing me. Sorry for the formatting problem, folks!

    @matthewsfive

    I was having the same problem you were with the group notifications.
    I think it is fixed now.
    MFP often has glitches like this and sometimes they take a while to get fixed.

    Sometimes I post my exercise in my diary and it shows up in the newsfeed and sometimes it doesn't.

    MFP also used to send me notifications to my personal e-mail address when someone wrote on my profile or when someone wrote something below something I posted but that stopped awhile ago which is a pain and I checked my settings and my settings still indicate that I want to be notified. I now only get notifications when someone likes my post or comment which to me is less important than knowing someone actually wrote something on my wall or under my post or comment.

    @Kimmie_H81 If I did it, anyone can. Keep your "why" in your mind, keep records of your food and exercise to help when progress seems to stall, and just keep going. You can do it!

    So excited to be starting a new month with some old friends and some new friends!! Good luck to everyone and I will carry my motto over from December ... Start, Don't Quit! Can't wait to see the progress we all make by being accountable to one another, but mostly to ourselves!

    Hi Gutbusters, excited to be back! I'm Emma, 36 and in London, UK. I've been in this group since October 2017, when I went from 235 to 179 in time for my wedding. I went up to around 190 after my minimoon and giving myself a month off last September, but maintained that through until Christmas. Took January off for the proper honeymoon and am back at 199ish, ready to go!
