Oh Lindsay I've just realised you said swimming :D

Well, I've lost almost 4 stone in a year...If you follow it, it works, and don't get me wrong I love slimming world and enjoy it, I'm just getting a bit stuck where I am now x

Thank you so much for your help! I'm going to give it a go and see how I get on

See, macros and the like confuse me, I haven't got the patience for it...it all sounds very complicated. SW has "speed foods" which are certain types of fruit and vegetables, and then "free" foods, which is lean meat, pasta rice potatoes, fat free yoghurts, etc, so yes in theory you can eat as much pasta as you like but…

I haven't been tracking calories whilst doing slimming world no, I've just re-downloaded mfp to start though, I think I've set it all up properly

Oops not sure what happened to the rest of my reply! Thanks for your replies, I do watch the amount of carbs I have and try to bulk up on veggies, but maybe I'll start weighing out rice/pasta and see if it makes a difference

Thank you for your replies

Yep! If I'm happy I eat, if I'm sad I eat. But if I'm really stressed I don't! Feel free to add me. I'm starting again today!

I think I'll go daily but only record once a week, as weekly weigh ins don't seem to have worked for me in the past, and I might be less tempted to cheat!

Thanks everyone for the replies - didn't realise there were already a few threads for this topic!

At the minute I'm quite partial to cheeseburger salad! I don't have a bread bun with it, literally just a burger (homemade or frozen -mine are 189 cal) topped with cheese served with a standard salad, or big plate of steamed veggies. If I've got enough calories, I have a bit of salsa or soured cream with it! Yum.

That's amazing. Well done you! I think "a healthier me" is a better attitude to have than "a thinner me"

Silly thing keeps posting before I'm done typing!

Haha thank you! Not everyone gets my humour! I've accepted your request, and look forward to keeping in touch

Thanks. It's never happened to me before, but I always thought I'd curl up in a ball and start crying! Or waddle away as fast as possible!

I didn't shout though. Felt quite bad, but I do believe everyone should have manners and think about what they say! I am currently quite wide though, so he's probably dome me a favour by fat shaming me!

Yes I was quite shocked. I said to him, "that's really rude and cheeky. You shouldn't say things like that because you will hurt people's feelings. And I've just had a baby! " He was about 10. He looked quite embarrassed that I told him off,and went away nearly crying.

I had another moment yesterday. took my toddler and baby to the park. A child said to me "how much food have you been eating because you're quite wide?!"

Ooh YES to the photos! Hubby took a photo of me holding my 2 yo at the weekend, and my *kitten* looks huge. Like Kim kardashian sized, but not hot! And yes to the sex thing too! I felt much more confident in the bedroom when I was slim

Good luck! I'm starting at 239 with a first goal of 220. Feel free to add me and we could help each other out?

Oops posted before I was done! I'm a newbie too! Would love to make new mfp friends d's for support☺

I'm wanting to lose 60 lbs!

Thanks for the reply! How are you doing? I'm currently looking for lower calorie dinner ideas, I've got 800 calories left for today , so really I'm spoilt for choice, but I don't want to go crazy☺

Hi! I'm new too! This is my second proper day using map! I've got 6 stone to lose. ..I'm in the UK. Would love to make some mfp friends to help stay motivated? I'm so over fad diets, I need to do this properly now.☺
