Me! Currently 10st 3lb and looking to get to around 9st 7lb for my wedding in February. 10lbs to go. My heaviest (that I knew) was 13st 5lb when I was pregnant so I’m currently 3st 2lb down which has been a lot more difficult that I anticipated!

UK here too - live near Glasgow, happy to add anyone :smile:

Added!

I'm 14lbs from goal having lost 8lbs already. Ideally i'd like to lose another 19lbs but i'd be happy with the 14, i'll see how I look and feel after 14. Good luck!!

I have my activity level set at active :) i'm a theatre nurse so i'm on my feet the majority of my 10 hour shift, also walk to and from the train station to get to work and go to the gym for 30-45 mins every second day. I use my fitbit flex everyday, my polar ft4 for the gym and I have my negative adjustments enabled.…

Hi there, checked my settings and it's still saying 1420. I have my height, current weight and activity level as active. I use my fitbit everyday, my polar ft4 for the gym and I have negative adjustments enabled. Hope it's all correct. Aww thank you :-)

Thanks, didn't put the weight on overnight so can't expect to lose it overnight I suppose. Impatience doesn't help either haha. Thanks again x

Oh dear, clearly I haven't been logging as well as I thought I had been! >< Will give it another 6 weeks of truly obsessive counting and see where i'm at. Oh no! When something is divided into precut sections I do just log as one/two pieces etc. Will stop that and definitely start weighing everything rather than going by…

The two slices of morrisons chicken is based on the packet information though. The info for 2 slices as logged today matches what 2 slices is on the packet, should I weigh them individually instead :-/ If tend to have a cheat day once a week but I log everything too e.g last week I went to five guys and logged what i'd…

Hi there, Thanks very much for your reply :) - I use recipe builder for things I make at home like soup etc, anything else that had information on that packet that matches the mfp I log. - I've managed to lose weight successfully a few times before on weightwatchers and various other diets but found that I really struggled…

open to public now, had it set to friends x

oh is it not open? sorry hold on a second...

what do you mean by serving sizes? like 25g etc? for example if I have pasta i'll weigh out what I have and then say it's 80g, i'll track that first to make sure i've got the cals left for it, then add on half jar sauce, veg etc and once I get the total if i've got enough for the day i'll have that. for things like sauces…

Yep, I weigh everything before I eat it and track things before eating aswell to make sure i'm not over before the damage it done :-P

Got them set at the same time, will see how it pans out over the coming weeks. Just when I thought I had the hang of it too :-1: Ahh yeah the bedtime thing makes sense :smile: thanks!

Excellent thanks so much for all your replies, got the hang of it now :)

Nevermind! The penny has finally dropped and i've figured it out! :smiley:

Hi there, Firstly excellent FAQ, has cleared up a lot for me but one wee niggling point. I have a fitbit flex which I wear all day every day. When I go to the gym I take it off and leave it in my locker as I wear my polar ft4 HRM...after my workout I take off the polar watch and put my fitbit back on. I've been doing this…

i'm actually going to look that up right now! i'm easily led :smiley:

Hi there, Thanks very much for your reply :) the only thing is that i've read the first two sections on that thread and its made me even more confused haha. At the gym I do cycling/rowing/crosstrainer/weights which that thread states needs to be manually logged as the Fitbit doesn't track it properly. Ahh this is so…

Yep I log it all too, started back on Friday after a few months off trying other things. The bad days are definitely a wake up call - as are those facebook pictures your lovely friends tag you in :|

Hiya :) i'm starting back on MFP after weeks or just half arsed attempts. I joined the gym on Friday and I have my induction tomorrow so i'm hoping to get a plan sorted there. Add me if you like :) you'll smash your goal x

Hiya all - i'm starting back today (well, it's 5pm so i've logged todays food with the intention of making better choices tomorrow). I've ordered a Fitbit watch which should arrive tomorrow also, looking for some motivational friends to keep me on the straight and narrow! Feel free to add me :-) Good luck everyone. Lx

Hi all, I'm starting again too - I've ordered a Fitbit watch which is on the way and should hopefully arrive tomorrow. Feel free to add me! I'm going to add people - it's nice to chat with people on the same journey :) Good luck everyone! Lx
