When I feel like this I stick to black, iv got decent legs but hate my tummy and hips so I feel best in skinnny style black trousers that show off my legs and an empire line top that skims over my hips and stomache. Empire line tops or dresses are fab at giving u a waist and hiding the jelly belly. You know your own best…

Go to your supermarket after 7-8pm, most of them are selling food due to go out of date for practically nothing. I often get good bits of meat this way which I cook as soon as I get home, make into casseroles or curries that I can freeze. Or just freeze till u want to cook it. Also vegetables that are out of date can keep…

I dont call that exercize.....thats a,normal part of a 40 year old working mothers daily routine. How many exercize calories can I eat back for going to the shop to buy milk?

I dont exercize, iv lost 54lbs. I walk to the shops and walk the dog, look after my toddler and work....I.dont really stop all day. So theres no chance in hell im getting up at 4am to do a run or wasting precious evenings at the gym when I dont need to. U dont need exercize to lose weight or to be healthy.

Im a little obsessed too, I think to a degree its kinda normal when on a weight loss journey...IF you do actually need to lose weight.......If your certain u do and arent trying to aim for something thats unrealistic then maybe obsessed is the wrong word. I prefer to call it focused and determined :-) but if your worried…

I am on 1300 now, I allow 400 cals for breakfast (usually toast, bacon and poached egg. my biggest meal is lunch around 2pm (600 cals) I find this is my hungriest time of day and this fills me the rest of the day so I can skip dinner. I have a 300 cal toasted sandwich before bed, I just simply cannot go to bed hungry. Im…

A rule of thumb for me when guessing resturaunt meals is count it as u would make it at home then add 200 cals for hidden oil or butter that they most likely add to give it that extra moistness. I could make a homemade tuna melt baguette for 400 cals cos I would use low fat processed cheese slice that I dont need to…

This is me too, im ravenous all morning and quite often will have 500 cals for breakfast, same with lunch...then Im full till bedtime when ill have a snack.

An apple and yoghurt does nothing for me either, try a handful of almonds, a bit of cheese or even a chocolate biscuit that will equate to the same calories, im guessing 100-150 cals? U need something with fat in it if u want to feel satisfied. As for breakfast I always have egg on toast sometimes with lean bacon and that…

Yes....I lost 8lbs in my first week on mfp last year. Eating 1600 cals a day, mainly water weight obviously but after that it settled at 2lb a week.

I gained alot with my first two back when I was slim, but with my 3rd many years later I was obese when I fell pregnant. I only gained baby weight from that pregnancy. The body works harder and burns,more calories if your obese and pregnant, which is why many bigger women gain very little during pregnancy.

I started at 1750, had great losses consistently for 3 months then I reduced to 1600, 1500, 1350 and now at 1200 and losing very slowly as I get closer to goal. FYI your calories dont change automatically on mfp as you lose weight, u need to re-enter your weight and goals into the goals tab for it to recalculate your…

Im 5'11 and 194lbs so I definitely could lose another 14lbs, possibly more but id b happy just being a healthy weight for my height. Im large framed. Im quite good at the logging but yes I do have cheat days.....but iv always had cheat days and still lost........guess iv just answered my own question there ha ha. I dont…

Clean eating is great if its sustainable for u, but for most people who successfully lose weight (iv lost 52lbs) its Just counting calories and getting as much satisfaction from those calories as u can that stops them from failing, especially if its a long journey your on. Dont get too hung up on just eating clean, a…

I eat 1350 a day and iv lost 50lbs. Once youv been counting calories for a while u get to know the food that is worth it and the food that isnt. I.dont eat clean, I use up all and more of my fat macros because I find higher fat food is more filling. I stay away from cereal, fruit and yoghurt because im still hungry…

Iv lost 50lbs but the last 2 months I also seem to lose 1lb then gain it back....its so frustrating. I stoppped smoking recently which isnt helping. Iv tried eating less but the cheat days are becoming more regular...even tried slimming world for 2 weeks and gained 2lbs. Back to calorie counting but im freakin starvin. Iv…

Im 5'11 and have gained weight just eating 3-4000 cals for a few days. I would easily gain a stone if it went on for more than a few weeks. Iv worked out I can maintain on around 2100 a,day but still my weight fluctuates on even this.

I recently had a bad binge day too and im sure I mustve ate about 5000 cals too. Huge fried breakfast, mcdonalds for lunch and wine and takeaway at night. Plus nuts and nibbles. I weighed 4lbs heavier the next day but it was gone again by the end of the week. I enjoy an occasional binge day, it kinda recharges me and gives…

I lost 8lbs my very first week, its just water weight, believe me it wont last beyond that first week. I balanced out at 1.5lbs a week after that.

Cereal, fruit and yoghurts etc doesnt fill me either, I have a toasted sausage sandwich with mustard and onion in the mornings, or toast with lean bacon and poached egg, both around 400 cals and im full till I have my lunch at 1pm. Try to get the most out of your calories and dont skimp on fat or youll be hungry an hour…

I did slimming world whilst pregnant, more to keep control of my weight gain but I ended up losing weight and ate loads......although now I prefer mfp because its easier to keep track.

It varies each week, some weeks nothing, other times 1 or 2lbs. I seem.to lose about 6lbs a month so I prefer now to think of my loss as monthly.

Im 40, and 5'11, quite a large frame. In my 20s and early 30s I was very slim.....I wouldnt want to be that slim now, my goal is to get to around 180, im currently 200 but have already lost 46lbs. (I gained alot of weight in my mid 30s). When I was slim (160ish) I had no boobs, no bum and a noticeable thigh gap. I thought…

I have few days off here and there but no more than 2 days. If im not getting anywhere for a few weeks and becomming frustrated. Generally ill gain 3lbs, get back on it and find the 3lbs is gone in a few days, followed by a nice 2 lb loss by the end of the week. I know people on.here dont believe the metabolism can be…

My biggest struggle is eating out and takeaways....no matter how much people say u can still eat out/enjoy takeaways and stay under calories I just cant. At home during the week I can stick to my cals easily and go to bed with a good book, weekends are hard! Eating out just depresses me now, to sit there with a green salad…

My biggest struggle is eating out and takeaways. No matter how much peo

I log my 3 meals in the morning, then I log my milk for coffee and whatevers left I choose snacks to take me up to my calorie limit. I used to just log as I ate but I ended up with no calories left for after dinner.

My reward for reaching each mini goal I set myself is a nice 3 course meal out with a bottle of wine and not a thought to how many calories....I see no reason why rewards cant come in edible form if your careful. I can have a facial or get my nails done anytime!

If the resturaunt displays calories on the menu or online I just go with that, if not it can vary massively which I found out today after I had a club steak sandwich at a small resturaunt that had no nutritional data. Calories on.here ranged from 300 to 800 so I went for one on the upper calorie range to be on the safe…

for me its any food that is less than 3 mouthfuls that equals the same calories as 15 mouthfuls of something equally as tasty,i hope that makes sense? . I like big portions.....so iv banned pastry, butter, deep fried and battered food, double cream, full fat hard cheese. Its easier to ban it completely than to be tortured…
