Yep another one who vouches for leftovers, We make extra portions of dinner to have the same/similar thing for lunch the next day. Also every time we have meat on the bone I make a stock. Every few weeks I make a soup of about 6-8 portions, and freeze them individually, so if we eat out/fail to have leftovers. We can just…

Just thought I'd add, if it's cycle tracking that is drawing you to it, Clue is an excellent app for that and free too.

Libra is android, and like happy scale. www.trendweight.com www.weightgrapher.com The 2 above are web based but you can bookmark them on your phone. I'm sure there are others but those are the ones I have experience with.

It keeps popping up on my Facebook (thanks targeted marketing). So I looked into it a bit. It seems to be a tracker targeted at women, sleep, steps, cycles. Obviously it's prettier than a lot of things, BUT you do have to track it manually, and it's not re-chargeable you have to manually change the watch batteries in it. I…

So apart from my hips being off the scale, it does confirm what I suspected, M&S and Monsoon are amazing, GAP should not be trusted......

Nope, Weigh is a verb and Weight is a noun, certainly in the UK, It's probably just a typo. As long as we don't have to get on to lose/loose.....

If you're not ready, you're not ready. I had dozens of false starts and now I'm 25lb down. Just have to wait till you are. Not a criticism, change is freaking scary. But @Sued0nim and @WinoGelato are some of the people I've found consistently helpful. As I've seen before, pick your hard.

Ah well I never get anything right

Yes when I started I thought I'd aim for a BMI of 27, as I do have wide hips (and have never been normal) But then saw some photos of (now obese) relatives who were in a normal BMI range and have the hips. So I thought I'd aim for 24.9 then reassess. Lurking in the forums helped. I still have MFP set to 1lb a week because…

@Resistive Off topic but, if you ask, you get. I'm a 5'5" woman, this was a deliberate day off from my food plan (but not logging) so if you ignore my fitbit adjustment that's all food I scarfed, and I skipped lunch

Comparison is the thief of Joy My (now husband) had always weighed less than me even though he's 9 inches taller. He does tell me not to worry, he loves me whatever..... and my inner voice goes 'YEAH RIGHT'. but with his actions he's shown me that's true, he proposed, married me, shows me off in a way that is sometimes…

I love happy scale too but it's only on iOS, My OH uses libra on android. There's also www.trendweight.com and www.weightgrapher.com If you have a wi-fi scale these sites will auto update. Can always track manually though. ETA: I weigh every day in the morning, the only exceptions are when I'm away from home. The below is…

VLCD are not reccomended here, 1500kcal is the minimum reccomended for a man. Noone here will (should) tell you that's an OK number, since you're already under the care of your doctor can you get a referral of a dietician to support you? You can't be the only person taking an appitite supressant so I'm sure there are…

Obviously you have some selection bias asking your question here, rather than to the internet in general!

So I have not done Slimming world or WW but here was my take: I went on holiday with some friends, we were cooking together I was calorie counting, one girl was on SW. She was very restrictive. At the end of the day we were sitting round the fire and I was eating toasted marshmallows, I know they fit my day because of MFP,…

Obviously exercise has benefits for health and wellbeing. The theme of the article appears to be critical of food and drinks manufacturers encouraging people to overindulge by saying 'exercise it off'. There is a cardiologist saying (what many in the forum said) about people being bad at judging how much CO are influenced…

I may be wrong, I have my phone protected rather than MFP, so I don't use it.

@stinsjer000 It's available on the app settings: In iOS version of MFP More > Settings > Sharing and Privacy > Require Passcode Then you set it to whatever you want

This really. Also I tend to buy big (cheaper) bags of nuts and other snacks and pot them out, so I know without having to use my brain that I have a 200kcal snack without exercising willpower either.

I've lost about 20, 100 to go. I've set mine to 1lb a week. That seems comfortable and sustainable for me, and I'm actually losing slightly faster. It also means when I'm closer to goal I'll have more wiggle room. I read somewhere that you should live the healthiest life you can enjoy. The you'll stick to it. Good Luck

My OH cooks more than I do, just practically he gets in before I do. When I decided that this time I was going to get a handle on my weight. I just asked him to make a note/keep packaging, then I tracked. Ate whatever he cooked and left more leftovers. After a few weeks, he got an account so he would track and I'd just…

Most days I have a variation of what I had for dinner the lunch next day, like last night I had salad with ribs and coleslaw, for lunch I had the same salad and coleslaw (prepped at the same time as dinner) with a salmon fillet cooked in the oven at the same time as the ribs. At the weekend (when the freezer is low) I cook…

Every time I track a dry Martini in my diary (own recipe) It tells me this (low in sat fat? better have two): As for dessert I tend to have mascapone, with raspberries and golden syrup, but I like all those things so 'healthy' is subjective, it's not too sugary and has calcium. I'm with @amusedmonkey if I want it I have it…

We had a grey cat called Grey Malkin, and every one just called him Grey, A grimalkin (also called a greymalkin) is an archaic term for a cat.[1] The term stems from "grey" (the colour) plus "malkin", an archaic term with several meanings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimalkin

I reckon I could eat that much, I've definately logged a 6000 day in the distant past. Just don't make it a challenge! In answer to the OP, mine bounces around a lot. In the 130 ish days I've lost quickly, gained, lost slowly and stayed the same. Happy scale gives you a ballbark figure where you can set a certain date and…

Also in the UK it's rare to find a 'lite' beer in any pub you woud want to be seen in. Just not common, much more likely to get a decent craft beer. (which would not be 130 kcal).

Your 'local' is very important culturally, even if they're rubbish it's really tribal. We only changed our local after the 3rd drugs bust. (We are in the East End to be fair)

Bouncing around is totally normal for me, but this time I'm not letting it get me down. I use happyscale and https://trendweight.com/ to keep an eye on what's actually happening

Change is scary for everyone, and fear makes prats of us all. I've tried many times to lose weight and this time it's sticking, I just put the spin of health of it (it is mostly about health but vanity too). Explaing to my OH that I don't want to have an old age full of disabilities and living an active old age helps. The…
