Using MFP 1200 is standard for weight loss, I follow the same (desk job, gym on an evening less than 1200 calories a day through the week (eating back my workout calories on a weekend) So far I have averaged at 1lb a week less, everyones loss will vary. 1500 is usual for maintenance but will vary depending on your TDEE.…

I follow this method through the week & it works out much better for me. I have a notebook where I list nice meals I can cook & the day before I log into MFP and plan my food for the next day, this makes sure I get the right amount of calories in, helps to plan my macros & makes sure I use up my groceries. I generally…

First of all, Congrats on your loss! I've now lost about a stone over the course of this year, Work colleagues have noticed and comment, immediate family havent noticed still. O/H I guess has noticed but doesnt really comment on it too much. It;s not vain, we put a lot of effort into this to feel better and sometimes being…

I'm on 1200 too & agree with all, your body will take some time to adjust to eating less. You could start with a smaller loss to begin with, then once you are top of protion control and understanding what foods make you feel full and fit into your calorie goals, take them down again. Agree with Marg too, if I know I have…

on a 102 day streak, looking for active friends!

After work, The gym is about a 5 minute drive from work so it's into the car changed and work out, there's often classes that start at convinient times for when I arrive :) Some fridays I dont start work until 11 so I get up at normal time and head over to the gym for an hour :smile: thats only like twice a month or so

I'm on a 1240 calorie diet but feel free to add :smile:

I 'save' my workout calories if I'm not hungry as I will generally go over on a weekend so it's good to have something spare.

A friend of mine complained about her doctor because they advised that her BMI was in the 'overweight' section and apparently people 'shouldnt be saying that to girls' .... no, she should make changes to loose weight if she didnt want to be overweight. I have been in the overweight category, I didn't shout at my doctor for…

I read an article about the actor who plays Billy, he had said to the producers that he didnt want the character to be 'just a bully' because then people wouldn't connect with him, and thats where the rough background came in to it.…

I started my journey at around 150lb (5'5) and wanted to get down to 145 (doesnt seem a lot but that is the lowest I've been as an adult) Im now at 140lb and taking my weight loss 5lb at a time :smile: Feel free to add me

Also, anyone who reads 'I lost 10lb in 1 day' and thinks it was done in a healthy way is really only kidding themselves.

This is a really interesting article in the way you have described it. It's interesting to see how much we obsess about meeting a goal with a date. Just as the person loosing weight who is now in a plataeu will change their diet, do more exercise etc to try and continue their loss. I saw someone post about how they were…

Just finished this weekend! Intense! Nancy needs to get Steve back o:) but damnnnnn Billy... ugh I dont blame Mrs. Wheeler >:) (Minus like... his entire personality)

Ahh how the weekend went down the drain! Friday was 4 Gins, Saturday 2 Gins, 3 ciders and a glass of wine! no drinking this week o:)

- If you're bloated get a spin bike at the back that's open! - Not everyone in the gym is looking at you, most people won't notice you crashed out after 2minutes running - Don't be afraid of the weight section (I hear people calling this the 'Mens section' :neutral:

From what you have described it looks like you are putting all the work in that you need! which is a great start. It can be difficult sometimes, we think our bodies will look a certain way when we reach our goal weight, I wanted to go back to my previous lowest weight and when I got there my body didn't look the same way…

Leeds, Open diary, post often, 80+ day streak :smile: Add me

Yes! I am in! I have started going through bottles of prosecco, ciders, vodka on weekends in at home which I want to stop, I've never been a big drinker but when im at my O/H's he wants a drink. I have one event on the 4th November where i expect to do some light drinking but that should be it! I think I will check in…

Before! I only realised this while tired, I weighed out some squash then put it in the oven, forgot how much I had portioned and had to weigh again, it was so different that I had to just guess. Oops!

Mint and Lime infused water

Didn't buy any sweets as I live in a gated apartment block so no need. There is a bag of lollies and a couple of left over cupcakes in the office but I'm not overly interested. Ive eaten 2 chewey sweets this morning but going to stay away from the lollies until this afternoon cause I know thats my prime time to crave them.
