Feel free to add me :smiley:

You will get there! Welcome back. I am just back a few weeks ago after 3-4 months off and gaining weight. It is a process. Good luck for Monday!

Well done you are doing fantastic!!!! Add me if you like :smile:

Congrats on quitting smoking! Can I ask how you did it?? I have been smoking for 17 years and really want to quit.

Hey Clint! Feel free to add me :)

Hey Brendan! You definitely should be logging that as it is exercise. But also I am guessing you have been doing it all along, so watching what you eat will be the big difference maker. Try wearing a heart rate monitor on a hard part of your day and log it. Hope this helps :smile:

Welcome back! I know you can do this as you really want it. Feel free to add me :smile:

Hi Sarah! Welcome to MFP community. You CAN do this!!!! I just started a few weeks ago but it really helps having a great community of friends on MFP who encourage you on. It does make you stay on your game. We all have set backs but we will get there together. I wish you the best of luck with this, you have come to the…

Hi :) I'm from Brisbane Australia working in event management

I think a cheat meal or snack every so often is okay but not a cheat day. You can blow your whole week in 1 day if you let it get out of hand. Don't deprive yourself of anything. I am trying not to eat anything bad until it is a habbit to eat healthy and then I will let a few things in when I feel like I can handle it :)

Hi!!! I am from Brisbane. Feel free to add me :) It really does help having friends on here but mine are all asleep when I am logging mine and log theirs when I am sleeping LOL

Thanks everyone. I was just going with the mfp automatic suggestion of 1200. Will def change & do more strength training. Appreciate all the help!

Thanks anna_glassshoes!

Thanks so much I don't think it is water weight but I might be wrong :smile: I can see & feel a difference. My deficit on food is 750 calories. Plus I am doing around 400 calories exercise on average but I eat some of that back. I am also drinking heaps more water than I ever have. Do you think it could be water weight?

Thanks Guys. lemonlionheart reading that again "the perfect female shape" I could have put it a lot better :) I really mean my perfect shape. You are exactly right we are all different shapes and sizes. I will use this info and run with it. I have lost over 2 pounds in 1 week is that too much? or is my body just adjusting…

@lemonlionheart That sounds like a good one :smiley:

:smile: That's so great the changes you are making!. When I said get some friends together I meant look for more people on MFP (not people you know) but people on the same journey. Sorry for the confusion LOL - It has really helped me!

MFP has really helped me. I started a week ago using the community & getting friends and have stuck to the journey. It has been awesome. Feel free to add me :smile:

Hi MummyChels21266. I am new to this whole community thing in MFP but it really does help. Get some friends together and they will encourage you and keep you accountable. I also want to be a yummy mummy although I am 35 not 22 LOL. Diet is the most important part of your weight loss journey. Even if you start by walking 10…

Thanks guys i will add you all. I really appreciate the support. I will do the same for you :smile:

Hi - I don't have much weight too lose (more than you though :)) My goal is to be healthy fit and toned. I am only on day 4 of this time round and I am doing better than ever before. I cut out sugar from my coffee LOL and actually thinking about it I haven't had any over the last 4 days. Feel free to add me

It may also pay to get your Thyroid checked

Finally628 & linniem96 both your stories are so moving my heart breaks for you. I know you can do this! Stay strong :)
