  • lotte0989 run track minds (i think) I am going to have to leave the challenge, as I have been in hospital since Thursday night. I have had surgery now to remove a 7cm heamoraging cyst and my body has been pumped full of co2 during the procedure. I am currently unable to move out of bed without difficulty so it seems…
  • I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 14. Currently at 191lbs, dropping from 207lbs a month ago. :)

  • Glad to hear everyone is doing okay so far. I agree with not being able to give up treats like chocolate. When I have tried that in the past I have fallen off the bandwagon and binged after a few days. I let myself have something each day within my calories so I don't get fed up. I started on January 4th so it is still…
  • The app states 1000-1200 for women, actually. Plus, I have spoken to my doctor in the past who actually recommended a 800 calorie a day diet without the days having extra calories to up the overall weekly total. I am aware that the start of any diet brings a loss in water weight. I have always drank a lot of water - having…
  • I'm in the same position. Last 46lbs and then gained back 33lbs due to health problems that have made exercise very difficult, emotional eating in response to work stress, and over eating whilst in a happy relationship with a big guy... I'm 9lbs down so far in two weeks. I'm planning ahead with meals and trying a more…
  • I have modified it slightly. 800 Mon-Thursday. 1200 Friday. 1600 Saturday-Sunday. Averages 1,085 per day which is within the MFP recommended daily intake of 1000-1200. Because of a few ongoing health issues, I cannot do the amount of exercise that I used to do, else I would up it to reflect that increase in calories…
  • That's basically what I'm doing at the moment, as I find it easier to cut back when I am at work Monday to Friday, whereas the weekends are filled with family dinners and events. So, I aim for 800 or less Monday to Friday and then allow myself to have 1,600 on Saturday and Sunday. My BMR is around 1650 I believe, though I…
  • Good luck everyone and hello! :smile: I lost 46lbs, but then met a great guy and slipped back into my old bad habits of too many treats! I managed to put on 33lbs again. Whoops. My first goal is to get back to the weight I was at my lightest, when a size 14 was comfortably baggy on me. That means I need to lose those 33lbs…
