  • It's actually an urban myth that the pill causes weightloss. It may alter your hormones and make you feel more inclined to eat fatty food etc. But it wont increase your weight without your help. To ditch the weight it's calories in vs out im afraid to get calorie counting and exercising and it will go eventually.
  • Okay 1. Make sure you always take Metformin with food this helps to reduce stomach problems and is possibly your issue. You need to ensure you're getting a decent stomach lining before taking the drugs. 2. If you've recently begun Metformin consider seeing your doctor as you may require a lower dose. 3. If neither of the…
  • I would say you can if you really want but eating what you burn is a really bad habit to get into. Burning is meant to help weightloss not enable you to eat for than you should. Maybe as a 1 off yes but not as a regular thing. E.g. my friends birthday last week was cocktails i made sure to have a huge gym session that day…
  • Do not weigh everyday! Fluctuations are normally especially within your menstrual cycle. These fluctuations are super demotivating. If you weigh weeks you'll be giving yourself enough time to lose a decent amount which should then be apparent on the scales even within fluctuations providing you're losing a decent bit each…
  • When i eat something i know doesnt really match my plan i also get that oh well ive started now feeling but am now choosing to ignore it and go to the gym instead to try and balance out as many of the calories i shouldnt have consumed as possible to try and still stay under my day calorie goal. My bf wanted pizza yesterday…
  • I would say talk to your doctor and your daughter about the best way to progress. I would assume you're still largely in control of her food intake so I'd suggest you try to make some healthy choices for her by cooking healthier options. The thing is while 13 is young it's old enough that she needs to want to do it or it…
  • Im on 1200 calories too but never feel hungry really. Try using more calories on vegetables and other low calorie items but in large quantities it's worked for me. Ive lost 6.7lb in 2 weeks and i was only 140lb to start and 5'6.
  • Monday- Eggs and Bacon baked in Avocado Tuesday- Minestrone Soup Wednesday- Pizza takeout (request of boyfriend) Thursday- Chicken with Deconstructed Guac Friday- Fajita Bowel Saturday- Fishcake Sunday- Chicken Cordon Bleu
  • Green tea or if you're more sweet tooth options hot chocolate is better than moat full calorie and only contains 40 calories!
  • I've literally got that exact situation as well as identical start and goal weights!!! Ive lost 6.4kg in 2 weeks so far with this app and am so pleased :) You're welcome to check my food diaries for ideas. With regard to the lunch thing comit to making your lunch at home at taking it with you. Ive also found that eating…
  • Ive lost 6.4 lb in 2 weeks so far and although i have cut down calories ive done it by learning some new recipes and swapping things i would normally eat for something lower calorie. E.g i still eat cereal at breakfast but i now have a healthier one and use skimmed milk. At lunch i still have a sandwhich or hummus but use…
  • Best thing to do is only weigh once per week at a similar time on the same day etc. That way even one binge should be possible to rectify. If you hop on the scale the evening after a binge it probably isnt a true show of your weight
  • I drink sugar free squash just makes the water taste a bit different
  • Im a sandwhich person so i always have sandwhich thins with ham or chicken and lettuce etc. But today i had hummus and veg sticks for dipping.
  • Ive actually found i eat far more vitamins etc. Because to eat lots of food on a low calorie plan you have to get lots of fruit and veg. Obviously this isnt true for everyone it depends what food choices you make.
  • I've also been criticised by other members for mine. The target given by mfp for me is 1260 but most days i hit around 1000. I havent found myself feeling especially hungry if anything id say im less hungry than i was previously because im focusing on good meals with lots of filling veg etc and avoiding sugary snacks which…
  • I'm such a sweet tooth person so i have 2 options depending how i feel. Either a banana (slice it thin in a bowl makes it feel like more) with half a teaspoon of sweetner and half a teaspoon of cinnamon. Or i also have a stock of kitkats in different flavours and single finger twixs etx which all come in under 120calories…
  • Yesterday i made asian beef lettuce wraps which were inspired by the ones from a week or so back on the mfp blog. They were super yummy and had no carbs as such and under 300 calories i believe! Highly recommend my housemate was dead impressed and is already requesting them again
  • I pretty much eat 2 weetabix skimmed milk and sweetner everyday as it comes in under 200calories but sometimes i will ad banana or fresh fruits to it.
  • Hi. Thanks for offering to share your food diaries. I'm curious how you are doing this. I plan to add you as a friend :-) [/quote] Basically if you add me as a friend ive set my diaries (in settings) to viewable by friends so once we're friends you can click to my profile and select view diaries to see everything ive…
  • Hiya I'm 20 and trying to go from 63.5kg to around 57 kg or maybe a little lower! In my first week i lost 2.1 kg :) It'd be great to have some people similar age with similar goals
  • I am also constantly hungry it's a big running joke amongst my family and friends. I've actually found myself less hungry since starting using mfp 2 weeks ago, i think it's because the food choiced im making are better long term energy not quick fixes like chocolate etc. I also did some reading that suggested excess sugar…
  • I think you should considee seeing you doctor. If you're very thin already it would maybe be normal to feel the cold more but in that case i would recommend you stop calorie counting etc.
  • Hiya I'm goaled 1260 by the app but usually make under 1000 :) My start weight 2 weeks ago was 140lb my weight at first weigh in last friday was 135lb but im aiming for 126lb ideally better. If you add me as a friend you're welcome to look through my food diaries to see what i choose to stay under 1000 and not hungry…
