UK here also, I have lost a lot but still need to lose a lot more lol feel free to add me :)

I want my gallbladder out as I am fed up of suffering and feeling like a zombie most of the time even after cutting my food and fat intake down drastically, also to get over my anxiety and live a normal life. Oh and world peace.

Cereal actually contains iron filings lol I found out on a tv show called food unwrapped: https://vimeo.com/98859722

Sometimes it has to be more in depth because you could eat all the iron rich products you like but if you're drinking too much caffeine it's not going to solve anything and the OP is going to go round and round in circles, its better to make sure other vitamins are not too low either, the ones that help the body absorb…

I used to suffer with iron deficiency a long time ago how much caffeine do you drink as caffeine does strip vitamins especially the vitamin that helps absorb iron 2 posts for you: http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/vitamins-minerals/the-effect-of-caffeine-on-vitamin-absorption.html and:…

Hey, do you add milk? butter to your scrambled eggs? it makes a difference trust me :) also you could try and make your own burgers... look up healthier burger recipes or something or use turkey mince or lean mince so you know whats in them... it is frustrating at times I know :)

Weight loss / weight management is the biggest stress and worry in this world, so many companies are willing to take advantage of this and people fall for it all the time, over and over again, weight watchers and slimming world and other companies like that also take advantage, they teach you to count points/syns but not…

I know full well how the scales can get annoying but trust your instincts I knew I had lost weight but sometimes just keep weighing yourself, I had put 2 lbs on recently but I knew I could not have due to my restricted diet ( I have a faulty gallbladder ) I have a very sluggish digestive system due to my illness and…

I went out for lunch with my family today and never got my meal, I waited patiently for 15 mins after all my family had gotten theirs then went to inquire where mine was, I was told they never received it but they had charged me for it, they said they would go sort it out, I waited another 15 ish mins by that time everyone…

I personally prefer Android but my brother always gives me his previous iphone once he gets a new on contract lol can't complain though it does pretty much everything I need it to do and want on a phone but I just don't like the way iphones like to take over your pc haha!

you can look at any recipe these days at switch the meat for vegetarian meat alternatives or vegetables instead here is a recipe I found that I would love to try one day, I'm not a vegetarian but I do like non meat dishes sometimes: https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/vegetarian-lasagne.html

"innocent flirting" often leads to more in most cases, seen it happen so many times. If my partner was on the internet flirting I would feel betrayed and I sure as hell would not do that to him, MFP is to help with weight issues and give support, not to find people to get your rocks off with, I really dislike it when…

To me make up is not everything, yes it can enhance our looks or hide our flaws, it can act like a mask to make yourself more confident, its not going to change people's personalities though, I used to wear make up all the time when I was younger but these days I don't feel the need, I may wear a little mascara sometimes,…

Hey, I always felt like that so for years I just never bothered to diet or would make attempts but my commitment was never in it until I reached my biggest of 308 lbs, I was miserable and anxious and had been for so so long, I decided to start in January to change my lifestyle to a healthier one and I have not looked back,…

Hey welcome, MFP is the best calories counting website I have come across, I will say this, count everything even mints, weigh everything also and bear in mind when logging food that most of the entries have been added by other members so double check to see it is right first, compare the entries with the packets etc, even…

Uk here, diary open although I may not be the best example of what to eat as I am on a restricted diet as I have gallbladder problems but feel free to have a look and add me as a friend :)

Hey Midlands UK here, diary is open, feel free to add me, always looking for fellow UK people to peek at their diaries for ideas :)

Hey, I'm really not an expert at all but this has happened to me before, I did well all week, weighed everything and logged everything but I put on 2 lb instead of losing and it turned out it was due to T.O.M bloating and water retention, I will say I have had some problems with my digestive system due to health reasons…

Hey everyone, I'm Sara I'm 30 years old, I started MFP back in January where I weighed 308 lbs as of today I weigh 227 lbs, I'm 5'4 and live in the UK, I don't currently work as I was agoraphobic from August 2012 to March of this year, I still don't go out as much as I should be I go out every weekend, I'm slowly getting…

Hey all, how is everyone doing, I have lost another 2 lbs Yay! plus had a non scale victory, I went to a charity shop a few months back and purchased some clothes that were a size or 2 smaller than what I was then, they now either fit just right or are too baggy on me I do enjoy baggy clothes so its a win, I always lose…

I know how you feel to some degree, I often like to eat my dinner at 5pm and my partner gets back from work at 6pm and has his dinner and I am sat there wanting to kill him for it lol, he is also trying to eat better but does have little treats within his calories which I cannot have, I have found making up a pot of…

I'm 5'4 my starting weight was 308 lbs, current weight 231 lbs and my goal is to be 140 lbs or under.. I was given an exercise bike a long time ago which was used to dry clothes lol Feb this year I got it out and started using it, 3 mins at first and slowly worked my way up through the months to do more, I don't think I…

Hey Alex welcome, just logging your food and exercise helps a lot, even making small changes like walking for 20 mins per day or cutting sugary drinks makes a difference, I wish you all the best on your weight loss journey :)

@mph323 Look I was just making a comment to the OP, I didn't want a debate with anyone alright, I was just trying to say tell her thank you for sharing this as I did not know and that people are always telling me to drink lots of water that is it. I never said I did see a doctor about my dizziness I was just saying that…

I know this now..., not everyone wakes up with all this knowledge on eating healthy etc you know, I was just stating whenever I tell someone I am eating better / dieting or look at tips online they always say "drink more water" so I don't blame people for thinking that drinking lots of water is good for them... also I only…

Well done! so inspiring :) posts like these are what keep me motivated and gives me a lot of hope, I like to bookmark these types of posts for when I am having an unmotivated day or I am having one of those days where the goal seems so far away, these posts help me stay focused on my own goals :)

Hey Becky, welcome!, I find routine helps and logging a day or so in advance to help stay on track, measuring everything, google is my best friend when it comes to finding low calorie/low fat alternatives, I did struggle at first I would find myself going over to keep myself satisfied so I added exercise and I was allowed…

Wow what an eye opener, I can sometimes drink 3 litres quite easily, normally I stay around 2 litres per day but everyone I spoke to when I told them I was eating healthier said I should drink as much water as I can, its like one of the first things I get told / read about when looking for tips about losing weight its…

Hey @Littleshrink4 I am having to lead a low calorie, low fat diet due to health reasons but I am managing to get in lots of protein, also being on a tight financial budget, its been quite easy with the help of google, my diary is open to all if you want to have a peek for ideas :) all the best x

@theabsentmindednurse I agree with this so much I do have to add, daily your body put on and loses a few lbs due to water weight, eating etc, you are bound to put on weight but don't be disheartened, even if you were so good the whole week and resisted that craving don't think "Frack this, I'm going to drown my sorrows in…
