Yep I actually thought of this myself. (thumbs up symbol... There isn't one)

I am doing stretches from my bed. I don't think it's burning calories but it's a step in the right direction for my health.

Someone asked what it had to do with thyroid. Well nothing really. I think they meant some people were putting lack of weight loss due to thyroid problems because they didn't know why they weren't losing weight. Although some of it might not be due to thyroid some of it probably is... So a bit of a controversial…

Interesting. I was told chicken breast on here was well over 200cals but then again I think I am a rare breed on the board not weighing my food! Also you all refer to usda but not all of us live in u.s so might be different again depending on you live and what your country's equivalent says. I sometimes have to scroll…

Most useful. Thanks. A pack of cards? Do you mean the size of a pack of cards. I can't walk about much and really don't want to weigh stuff. I'd rather eat healthily and see how my body reacts. even if it isn't completely accurate. It takes long enough filling things out on here. I can rarely leave my bedroom due to a long…

Maybe particularly small choc bars. Also soya choc yogurts. You might want to think about is it the crunch you want, the creaminess or both? As for me drinking chocolate/cocoa wouldn't do it/satisfy craving.

I have not read all the posts on the second pageyet but I need to rest so I will do before long!

I'm going to have to look up the starchy /non starchy veg a bit more. My tummy doesn't agree with onions and I don't like mushrooms. I eat carrots a lot, sweetcorn, cucumber, beetroot. Need more broccoli and spinach esp as my iron looks extremely low on here and it took years for me to get it up to low normal (with…

Thank you. It does look like I'm doing the right things with most things I eat. I do sometimes miss meals tho cos my sleep pattern is a bit bodged and I can't eat so I just eat when I can. Im still surprised what people are suggesting though as I can't eat anymore within my limit-unless I stabilise or up to half a pound…

I know I don't have a picture up but people always think I'm younger than I am. Like a nurse referred to my room being 'typical teenagers' and online on sites with my pic people don't always believe I am 30. I don't wear make up most the time and not too well long term but it does feel a bit weird being told I look less…

I am being so much more careful since I started this with sugar yet I usually go over the guided amount. I used to eat flapjack, choc mousse, honey, snack bars, honey yoghurt daily. At one point I went mad on choc stuff and I would havebeen way over recommended. I Guess it's in our modern diet a lot. I won't have self…

Well I have 2portions of fruit a day and some veg. One of them being strawberries so that sounds good! By non starchy veg is that anything other than potatoes? Well I'm not extra low on protein. Sometimes it's the right amount and sometimes it's a bit less. The fat seems to be a bit higher than it should be BUT a fair…

Will do. Practically nearly all the same as me

Aw. Get support here because that is a real achievement! Is this US sizes?

@jenniferzlangkjaer I'm not sure I'll try that as it's really hard to get a Dr's apptmt and I think she'd say no. I think you don' ewant fruit or veg to start with with that do you? I'm not an expert tho.i just want to make the most of nice fruit at this time of yr. I seem to be going over the recommended fat and sugar tho…

Hi! Well done on your weight loss so far!

Also I've only just started recently so it hasn't automatically adjusted my calorie count. Im not sure I could keep to that... I think some days will be bad and others good and I'm not feeling too optimistic at the moment. At least it's making me more aware I guess.

Oh OK, thank you for the responses. I didn't realise you were 4inches shorter than me and all the adjustments you both say. Guess that's another reason why it makes sense to weigh yourself regularly. Am quite new to this and understanding things like that.

Sort of. I'm always being asked what I would like to eat - 'would I like X as well... You're not eating very much.'

I find different people look different or average or a bit thin even when they are in normal bmi sometimes. This can be due to age like if you have extra skin but not much actual arm... Some people seem to lose a lot of weight from their face and look gaunt and some people have the weight in different places... And of…

I rarely weigh myself. But if I did just a bit more I would have been more of the weight I was putting on in the past. I just never weighed myself much. I fear it a bit! And I don't want to see I've lost one pound cos one pound can depend on if you've drunk a bit more or something. And I don't want to weigh myself at that…

Really? For me it's 1350 for a 0.5lb loss. Sedentary. 5ft3. Don't quite understand the logic behind it.

Aw I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds like it could have been the end of puberty. Have you tried bio oil?

Muscle can weigh quite a lot. So can water. There is a forum here for people putting on weight. There are groups at the bottom too... Maybe you could search anorexia to find those in a similar situation to you. The only problem I see is this mfp takes quite a long time to fill out and ur logging everything which can be…

WOW they are so cool! :smile: thanks for making me smile

Aww. Im 5ft 3 so not super short although other members of my family are 5ft.

WOW sounds like you hardly ate anything in past. You don't need to eat that little to lose weight. Im the opposite to you. I can't believe how little I'm supposed to eat. 1200-1350 for half to 1pound loss. And I'm not sitting down most the time as is classed sedentary, I'm lying down and can't walk around a little. We all…

Height 5.3 Current and heaviest weight 9st 3. Could have been more but rarely weighed myself. Would like to get down to we'll I'd love 7.5 St which was my weight before I started binging (I'm small build and have lost a lot of muscle due to not being able to exercise. But even half a stone would be good. Main goal to be…

Happened. Viewed everything on the profile, felt pretty shook up as there was some revealing stuff then messaged him! But we r friends still
