  • Use the app, track your calories and dont think of it as a diet. I lost the majority of my weight without exercise, working a desk job eating 3 meals and healthy snacks. Just keep to your target calories and adjust portions accordingly. I now run 15km per week and honestly, for the effort involved i'm only burning approx…

  • I get so frustrated with these miracle "plans". Friends and family keep asking me what "plan" i've been using, what pills i have popped. When i say its really simple eat less than you burn, use MFP to track it. I get "oh thats too hard" in reply . Well, if thats too hard, good luck living on shakes for a few weeks until…

  • Yep, i'm no expert, so i can only say what has worked for me. I have found having a higher calorie day followed by a leaner day (big dinner on a friday, lite saturday breakfast/lunch) has really stopped alot of the minor stalls.

  • Who can resist leftover pizza, you would be a robot if you could! I have a friday night splurge every week, chinese meal, rice, prawn crackers.

  • I've lost the majority of my weight (18kg) without additional excercise over the last 4months. I started the c25k running programme 7weeks ago and it has had little effect on my rate of weight loss though i am a whole lot fitter.

  • Thanks, my runs are on a treadmill which does give a calories burned of about 270-300 depending on the run, this will be based on an average persons build, so given I'm 6ft6 and 89kg i'm probably burning a bit more. I'm not really looking to do anything to any level of crazy analysis. Just want to make sure i'm roughly…
