Do you log calories for bouldering ? All my researching says its impossible to know what you burn really :-/

It's amazing guys, stick with it ! I've just started 5k pacer (to increase speed). My metabolism has increases dramatically.

This is all great news ! Although I fear I will just spend the extra calories on Haribo :D

Yummy ! That sounds awesome :D

currently 122lbs I guess I'll give it a few more weeks and see where I am, thanks all!

Thanks you guys, always appreciate the love here <3 :smiley: I guess the weird thing is that I'm losing at the same rate as when I was actually trying to lost, ha I could have been on maintenance this whole time !

Thanks yeah it seems obvious, I guess I just fear getting back in to the habit of eating too much. I'm not exactly skin and bones.

Wow nice stories everyone. Sorry I didn't mean to mis-use the word "skinny" I'm not sure what's the right work. Damn most people on this thread have a lower BMI than me though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just like that food too much, always will :)

Is it hard to maintain ? Or is it a really long answer ?

Yeah I suppose so, I think I'd rather have -100 calories though ! I don't *need* this big bowl of strawberries I'm eating so in a sense they are empty calories too.

That's actually brilliant! I thought I'd have to strip them first, eating them off the bone like a savage is part of the charm !

Nope :(

If I go to the source site it says "Nutrient values and weights are for edible portion." https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/926?fgcd=&man=&lfacet=&count=&max=&sort=&qlookup=&offset=&format=Full&new=&measureby=

If you think how little meat is on a wing, it is possible - it's like an egg cup full at best.

Yes I just did a search (yup, should have done that before!) and the info on the packet is usually the meat only - hooray !

5'4 - I feel so tall ! Feel free to add

Hi there I'm Caroline from the UK resident in Berlin. Trying and succeeding in losing some KGs, I'm not that keen on exercise but training for 5k, please add me!

Caroline from UK living in Berlin !

Thanks! That's always good advice, I guess I don't trust myself as I'm new to all this.

I guess there's protien in the milk (50ml 1.5%) the cereal is 177 a bowl.

Haha not at all but OMG I had no idea what a nerve this would strike!! I'm pretty new to MFP and the community vibe here is overwhelming. This is the closest a thread has come to trolling though... of course I realise we all have our different struggles short or tall Brava, brava. I think "just exercise more" or "just eat…

I do agree, the more do I MFP the more stuffed I feel more often. I do miss that biscuit or candy at work though.

Yeah! I mean when you go for a meal or buy food out its all just one size. It's no fun cutting a burger in half. I have an appetite much bigger than my frame, don't we all to varying degrees? Isn't that why why anyone would want to lose weight?

Yeah we don't need as many calories I get that but eating is pleasurable so it's fun to do it, do I need to explain that?

I'm not actually vegan but try it whenever I can. This sounds great ! Is this shredded potato you've frozen yourself ? How do they stick together? Thanks

Brilliant stuff everyone, I'm already staring to think about exercising more posiitively. The diet is going so well, but I definitely feel weak from I guess halving my calorie intake - time to get off my butt!

I just bought a bunch of these flavored Uncle Ben's rice packs (200 a serving) + some tinned tuna and veggies. Mmm looking forwards to lunch for a change :)

yeah thanks guys this is all so so helpful, I can't believe nobody has trolled yet ! What an amazing forum :)

This is all gold thanks! I really enjoyed my Subway salad but I dislike the amount of trash it produced (especially asking for separate dressing) We actually have a stove at work so the other day I tried to make prawns and brown rice, it was so bland though without any spices ! I had to laugh :)

Thanks guys, yeah changing my attitude is certainly required. I am thinking of starting up a girls soccer team (only crap people allowed!)
