Hi and Welcome, Feel free to add me - my diary is open and although I am not a vegetarian, I eat Vege MOST days. You can probably see the foods I choose - I regularly hit 200g protein a day :)

I really good way to gauge the effects of your weighloss would be comparing pictures or how your clothes feel... Well done on losing lots of weight...your metabolism may have adjusted to your calorie level hence the slowing of fat loss. How accurate are you logging every day? There may be a difference in what you are…

Welcome :) MFP is awesome once you commit to using it.

Either Log or Don't Log :smile:

The thing that will determine 99% of your results with weight loss/gain is diet (calories in vs calories out) aka creating a deficit or surplus. Don't waste your money on "fat burners" or any products. A well planned and balanced diet is all you need (coupled with exercise).

Drop me an add, always keen to share ideas..

Depends what you like eating... For a low cal ideas. 1. 1 cal spray oil (few sprays) - fry some tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, garlic, celery. Add some fahita/taco seasoning. Add a tin of beans - I like pinto/kidney beans. let it cook off and add some water. Serve with 50-75g 0% fat greek yogurt Should be under 400 :)

Great job so far! No doubt you will SMASH your goal! Feel free to add me.....LOTR fan haha

Hey Shannara, Good Job on your great weightloss so far! Drop me an add if you need a mentor. I can help you :)

I'm a seriously committed Logger :) Add me, check out my diary!

London, UK

Post up some stats buddy - Generic advice I can give you:- Weigh train a couple of times a week Eat 1g of protein per lb Eat at a deficit to drop fat / surplus to put on muscle I personally weight train 4 times a week with little to no cardio A good balanced diet.

Don't ever give up hope. Start off with some small changes and go from there. As long as you aim to be better than you were yesterday that's the most you can ask for :) All the best

Take a day rest I would

I'll guess the scale is probably a bit odd Either get a. New set of weigh yourself in exactly the same place

Carol I'll mentor you Add sent

IMO meal timing doesn't matter (apart from if you are an athlete and fueling/refueling pre/post workout) There are two extremes on this school of thought:- 1. Those who believe you must eat 10 small meals a day to keep your metabolism burning. 2. Those who follow Intermittent Fasting Pricinples. I have tried both - and…

Hi All, I am Antonio, 26 based in London. I have been exercising for 5+ years and have done reading on most methods of dieting/biology etc I'm currently on a 121 day logging streak :) and have been using MFP for a couple of years. I have returned from some knee surgery and have lost all of my weight I put on. I am happy to…

I customise it based on my goals. Easy to do.

This x 2 If you really want to make a lifestyle change, then get your partner on board. You will give you're little one the best start in life with a good quality diet. Moderation is the key - everything in moderation is fine. Goodluck

Unless you are feeling any ill effects then it should be fine. Sometimes if you exercise hard and are lacking in certain salts you will cramp etc. If you need want to add a little more in - go with a natural sea salt or pink salt - full of minerals and tastes lovely.

Chicken, Beef, Fish, Eggs, Greek Yogurt, Milk, Cheese, Unsalted Nuts, High Protein Pasta's etc etc Whey Protein is a good way to bump up your intake

I do exactly this :) I will go online and check their menu and decide what I am eating and log it prior to my visit. If you Fail to Plan, you Plan to Fail :)

Yep I agree - Perhaps It wasn't worded the best. All carbs break down into glucose. Yes - Sugar is Sugar. I would happily take an apple over a slice of bread (assuming they are exactly the same cals) - I say this based on all the chemicals they add and nutrition they strip away.

Plan Plan Plan Ahead.... If I know I am going out I will either slightly drop cals a few days before OR eat very little and save my calories for the meal. You must remember, if this is a lifestyle change then you have to start to learn how to factor eating out in your diary. Stick with leans meats, green veg's, salad and…

Try going into the cardiovascular exercise section and search for yoga there. Alternatively just estimate it based on time you are holding positions. I.e. 1 hour class - of that 1 hour you are probably "working" 20-30 minutes :)

The carbs in fruit are "fructose". Regardless of wherever the carbs from, your body will break it down to the same end product - Glucose. Fruits are "better" because they are less processed (think of heavily processed white bread with loads of extras thrown in)

IIFYM - If it fits your macros If you have the calories to spare and have hit your macro and micro nutrients then then is no reason you can't have whatever you want. There is absolutely NO need to feel guilty A calorie is a calorie - regardless if you have 300kcals of mars bar or 300 kcals of something else

I think the most important way to resolve this is to fix the core reasons why you want I binge eat. Do you physically feel hungry or are you craving the foods you do not have?

The way I do it Set your calories first Then get .5 to .75g protein per lb a day Then you can split the rest however your want
