Losing 10 pounds is a good result, take the loss, keep chipping away and you will eventually get there. Also you don't need to be motivated to cook, if you make the decision that it will help with your goals you just have to do it. Also being mediocre at cooking is not a set state. If you want to improve put in the effort…

When I took a maintenance break, the only thing I did differently was to eat more, I still logged all food and kept up my exercise levels. It was fairly easy going back to a deficit. If you haven't been logging maybe ease back into things by startin logging again, otherwise try a staged reduction to get back to a deficit,…

Yes, log everything you eat and drink, if you struggle with your food choices you're going to need to get organized, pre plan some days, you want to remember weight loss is not linear, your motivation will come and go, so you need to build good habits and routines you can stick to. Start slowly as you've given yourself…

Went shopping for a top to wear dancing, the one i had been wearing was too big, this time I was able to go to a regular shop, not a plus size, and I had a choice, so was able to pick based on something besides " it's the only one that fits"

Sleep is hugely important, if I don't get enough sleep, my ability to maintain healthy habits drops considerably. It is much easier to not over eat, and to eat healthier when I get enough

Use it for what it's good at, I can get roast vegetables a lot more convenient than using the oven, plus it doesn't heat up the house, which is great when it's summer

Just like everything else, not all therapists are the same, try a different therapist, maybe look for one who deals with social anxiety

Planning and strategy, figure out what I can do, build a schedule and be flexible enough to adjust if I get out of schedule. Log all food consumed, aim to get enough sleep.

one from Christmas last year, the other is from today difference is just over 20 kilos 108 to 87.5

Google "zesty lime coconut muffins" the recipe I use is the paleo one, tastes delicious

Calorie deficit comes first, then strength training of some kind. If you can find some activities you enjoy that happen to be physical it helps

What kind of food do you like, will you eat stews or do you want everything seperate, any strong dislikes, what's your level of cooking skill, what's available locally? With fruit and veg it's better to choose local in season over imported or hot house, better taste and cheaper usually, also how much time and effort are…

Taking the iron supplement last thing at night with a small amount of orange juice helps with the absorption, so does avoiding calcium for a few hours before you take it.

What dietvanillacoke said. Are you logging, and are you being as accurate as possible?

My waist is now below 1 metre diameter

Or you could try calling her on her behavior, asking "Are you trying to make me unhappy?", "are you trying to make me fatter than you again" , "you sound jealous" etc.

Depending on your weight, what about experiences you can't enjoy until you hit a particular goal. Eg some rollercoasters have an upper weight limit

I may have inspired a colleague to join mfp. She asked what I had been doing to lose weight, so I told her mfp, today she said she just needs to get organized. I told her it's easier if you just start with logging and make gradual changes and I think she actually liked that idea

You'll need to figure out what works for you. If you start with logging everything, being as accurate as you can, plus keep notes, how hungry you get mood and energy and activity levels etc you can use that information to make tweaks and over time you will arrive at your personal best eating plan.

I'm in Adelaide

Persistence, logging my food, and don't drink my calories. I also cut sugar way down, but I'm pre diabetic and find too much sugar makes me lethargic and it increases my appetite. I.e. It won't work for everyone.

How long have you been on this level of calories? If you are still hungry after a couple of weeks, you may need to re consider your eating plan. Some people need a higher level of fat orhers protein and or fibre for satiety, or you just may need slightly higher calories

I have a very strong aversion to following a meal plan set by someone else. There's usually ingredients I don't have or don't want.

Mostly I saw it in my face.

You can lose a lot if it`s your first week, but check that your calorie goal is appropriate, based on your activity level. Remember the amount mfp sets is already a deficit based on your goal.

140 days,20 kilos down, aiming for a lot more

If it's your husband , you could try saying "ouch that hurt" at the time, when you feel hurt by something he says. If you don't show it hurts you can't expect him to realise. And talking about it later is probably too late

Weight loss may help, so could strength training, leaning new skills, whether physical or other, cognitive training etc.

I have total over a hundred pounds to lose and it took at least 20 to make a visible difference
