I’m always impressed with the ‘bonus calories’ from steps! I did tend to use them a lot of the time and always lost 2lb a week. Until I gained most of it back and came back on here....

The step tracker thing is working for me but disconnecting etc had no impact on the original issue. Glad to hear it's widespread!

Me too! It's so frustrating it's taking over my life! I've done the 'track steps' think in exercise and that seems to be working.

Love mine so much. Definitely makes me move more and stops me from kidding myself about how many calories I've expended (and thus prevents me over eating!).

I'm tracking religiously and see each day as a fresh start. I don't sabotage myself after one bad day. 29lb down since august.

I am a vegetarian. Is all. Haha. Will send you a request. Also in the UK.

I'll add - I'm just over the humber. I've gone from 12.06 to 10.05 sice 1st august. Still going (slowly!). 5'2" age 36. Good luck!

Ooh, it censored me! How clever.

Thanks everyone. I'm not even halfway to goal yet. @cheesychiplet you're pretty light so think 5lb will really show up. Good luck (and nobody quote me again - can't be having multiple pictures of my *kitten* online!)

@debrakgoogins I cannot believe I now appear on the world wide web in my knickers

I can't believe I'm doing this but here is day 1 and day 100 (this weekend). 12.06 to 10.10. Have you taken 'before' pics? It might help you to compare shrinkage. Mine is mainly lower back but I think the top looks better too.

My 'baby weight' is now four years old. Finally started shifting it! Will add you.

I nearly always do and I'm losing a steady 2lb per week.

I eat most of mine back every day - they come via fitbit. And I've lost 17lb over nine weeks. Can't argue with that! My logging is meticulous too.

I bought a book by Josie Spinardi... and it was a revelation. Although I don't think I can trust myself to 'inituativley eat' it's made me a lot kinder to myself and I've stopped thinking that starving is the key to bring slim.

I have quite a lots of treats. I either 'earn' them through exercise or I do have a 'cheat' day, making sure that it doesn't take me too far over in the week as a whole. I.e. maintaining a good deficit by doing well the other six days. So far, I am losing a steady 2 pounds per week. (I want to shift 50lb so similar goal).

I'm eating mine back and it's working well so far... although I feel a bit like I'm cheating for some reason!

No - no profit in the recommendation for me. Just want to help. It's great you're looking to address this now, at a young age. I was going from 15 to 35 in that mindset. Good luck again. You will get the support you need on here.

I've been in a similar boat myself. I'm not sure if we are allowed to recommend things on here but I read a great book about intuitive eating by josie spinardi... I think her name was. It was a revalation. I am still definitely work in progress but I go a lot easier on myself. Good luck.

This is my aim and timescale also. Good luck!!

Thank you! Bounts - well fancy that! I had never heard of it. I have just joined and used your code.

Thanks for this. I only got mine yesterday and was worried it seem to be showing a lot more activity than it should... But I am also very diligent when it comes to logging and weighing so fingers crossed. I am a little scared to trust it and have closed down tonight with a large deficit as a result!

Good luck. So much of it is to do with your mind. I've lost 2lb in the first week. Only 3-4% of my aim but I probably feel 20% better just for that!

125!! From 180.

Hi. I have a similar aim and know exactly what you mean about the confidence. I feel like my life is on hold whilst I hide. I'll add you!

I'll add you - I'm 175 with a similar goal. From East Yorkshire.

20 Is a great time to start. I'm 35 and have been doing this nearly all your lifetime already! Good luck - I'll add you.

Hi, I'm from East Yorkshire and I have a similar goal. I can't help with the water I'm afraid as I'm a prolific drinker. Of both water and wine actually.... I know there is a free app you can get to track your water and I think it gives you reminders?

All sounds familiar. I've gone from... Let me work it out in this pounds business... 120 to 180 over ten years and a baby. I'm bored and disgusted! I've set myself a first goal of being down a stone (14lb) by my 36th birthday in two months. I've used mfp before on off. I've started this time on Sunday and looking forward…
