I'm from London :-)

Thanks guys! I get the picture :-)

I'm pretty strict about what I eat 5 days a week, but at weekends I relax the rules. Saturday I eat what I like, but try to stay within my calorie allowance and Sundays I eat whatever I like and not worry about the cals. If you really miss the junk food then I'd say you're not enjoying your life as much as you could. Find…

[quote="Faithful_Chosen;33255852" Am I the only one who does not feel full from nuts? I need at least two handfulls of the stuff to feel somewhat sated and that is a huge amount of calories! [/quote] No, you are not alone! I have the same problem...besides they're so moreish it's hard to STOP eating them!…

Hi! I'm in London too. Feel free to add me :)

So happy to read that other people do this too :) I know it's not generally considered healthy, but I can't eat all I want all the time, or I'd be enormous, so I allow myself weekends off >:) and make up for it during the week o:)

Hi! I'm also in the UK (London) Always looking for new friends to have a chat with and provide mutual support/encouragement. Feel free to add me! :)

And another London-based person here :) Feel free to add me!

Hi! I'm from London...on here every day and always keen to have a chat and make new friends :smile: ) Feel free to add me!

Hi! I'm in London - on here every day and always happy to have a chat. Feel free to add me! Always good to have more friends :)

I'm on the same 1200 MFP imposed calorie deficit and found it really hard to stick to when I first started. I found that not only was I NOT losing weight, but I WAS losing my sanity and will to live. Now I'm healthier and happier by either not logging tea/coffee (assuming you drink it black) or accepting that if I'm going…

Have whichever you want the most because you'll only regret it otherwise. If you're going to go over your calories then at least get the maximum enjoyment you can from it. That said, an additional tip is that if you have steak rare, it is harder for your body to digest and you will therefore absorb less calories (or so I…

Hi! I'm from London - always happy to chat so please feel free to add me :)

Yes, by cheating at weekends I mean that I do still log my "sins" knowing it will slow my weight loss, but giving my sanity a chance too otherwise I'll just end up craving >:)

Definitely! I would go insane otherwise. It's always the weekend for me. Either Saturday or Sunday and even if I go slightly over the other day during the week, I don't worry too much because I'm consistently under during the week.

Hi I'm from London and although my diary isn't open (sorry) active every day and always love a chat....feel free to add me :)

Definitely yes if you're even vaguely tempted!! Remember in life you always regret the things you DIDN'T do way more than the things did.

Ditto that - especially the last sentence!

I'm definitely PRO moderation. I couldn't eliminate certain foods from my life without losing the will to live (see profile pic) or constantly craving- I tend to eat healthily 5 days a week and generally under my calorie allowance, which gives me the leeway to indulge at weekends :)

Hi! I'm UK based too and always keen for a friendly chat/ support / whatever! :)

Hi!! I'm London based - feel free to add me too. Always happy to chat etc :)

I had anorexia for 10 years plus...occasionally I relapse into bulimia now but it's the support of people around me that have got me back to a healthy weight with healthy eating habits (99% of the time!) Feel free to add me and happy to support you in your fight. Good luck :)

Hi! I'm from the UK too - half-way through my second week with MPF. Other people's support means the world - and always keen to meet new, fun people. Feel free to add me. Congrats on the upcoming wedding by the way!

oatcakes are another good one! I try not to let the sugar "warning" on MFP get to me too much though, because I'm in the same situation as you - I work at a desk and love my fruit. One pear will often push me close to the limit! I think you've just got to be sensible and have a balanced diet. Good luck!

This particular reply was a source of encouragement to me too a, according to my scales, on Friday I was 4lbs lighter than when I started last Monday, but this morning I had gained 6 lbs since Friday!!! Go figure!! Just keep up the good work. :)

That's encouraging - I think it would go crazy if I tried to log EVERYTHING ALL the time. Thanks

You guys are all so good!! o:) I'm new to MFP but I guess you could say that I used to (?) have cheat weekends! i.e. I tend to eat healthily during the week and then relax at weekends.
