Same for me. If this is a cynical attempt to make us buy premium then I'm afraid it's backfired as I'll have to start using another app. Without the macro breakdown this is useless to me.

Chocolate. 25g is around 100kcals.

Maybe when squeezing out the last rep it's acceptable but when people do it on every rep that's just too much.

I plan my meals so I have a few hundred calories left over for snacks. When someone offers me something at work I have to decide do I want to use the calories then or save them for later. It's easier to say no when you know you're saving yourself for something later. Whatever the snack is, let's say Maltesers, I'll weigh…

How many calories are in your meal replacement shakes? What is the ratio of protein/fat/carbohydrate? I'm guessing the shakes are quite low in calories if you're struggling to make it through the day. I've recently been drinking Huel. I have two scoops for breakfast (around 300kcals) and three for lunch (around 450kcals).…

No one told me I'd have to buy new clothes! Before I started losing weight I was practically bursting out of medium sized tshirts but I refused to go up to a large as I didn't want to have to buy all new clothes (hence the weightloss). The problem now is that a medium is just hanging off me so I still need to buy new…

Just get back to normal the next day. There's no point punishing yourself by cutting calories any further.

I started eating bread to help weight loss. Previously at work I was eating salad everyday but it turns out with all the ingredients my salad was around 400 calories. A reduced fat cheese sandwich is 300 calories. I feel just as full (if not more), it's quicker to eat and better ratio of macros so all round better for me.…

Yes, I think I have the same problem. Before I started MFP I was just trying to eat sensibly and was satisfied all day at work. When I started MFP I ate exactly the same things just started logging it. Once I started logging and knew that I'd used my allotted calories all I could think about was food!

It doesn't have to be just a dream. Forget the pills and fad diets. Concentrate on hitting your daily calorie goal and the weight will come off. It will take some time but it will come off.

I saw results on the scale within the first week but didn't really look any different. It took a few weeks before I could see a loss in the mirror. I've lost 5kg so far and no one's really noticed or said anything. I think it needs to be quit a big loss (>10kg) for other people to really notice.

How many eggs do you have lying around? I just had one, ate it and went over my calorie allowance. Now it's gone, time to get back to normal! One day isn't going to make much difference.

Just make sure what you swap it for isn't actually higher in calories!

Nothing magical about it. Being in a calorie deficit is what makes your body go into "fat burning" mode. It's up to you whether you choose to eat a little bit less at each meal throughout the day or skip one or two meals and eat all the calories at once. Neither way will make you lose weight faster. The only difference is…

Bread, pasta

What do you normally do at the gym? How about buying some free weights and doing the same exercises at home. Exercises I'd suggest are bicep curls, upright row, overhead press. It'll probably be cheaper than one month's gym membership.

I save time by eating the same breakfast and lunch everyday. That way i don't have to work the calories out every time, just copy from yesterday. For evening meals I probably have about 20 different meals I make so put them all in the recipe builder and then pick the one I want. If I'm eating out and the nutritional…

 

Personnally I'd do the walk first, then have dinner. Reason being that by the time I've made dinner then eaten it I might not feel light walking anymore. Doing the walk first means you've already got the calories "banked" to eat straight after rather than eating the calories first and being in debt.

No event or specific date. I'm doing it for me, no one else.

When none of my clothes fit any more and I refuse to buy the next size up.

Current weight 84.5 kg, 2kg from my first goal. First goal: 82.5kg (13stone) Second goal: 81.3kg ("normal" BMI) Third goal: <80kg (sevenderland?) UGW: 78kg (10kg lost)

Still sounds like will power.

I've lost weight in the past without counting calories but it's been hit and miss. Counting calories takes out the guesswork and I can lose more consistently each week.

What do you do for work? If (like me) you spend most of the day sitting down then set it to inactive and log each walk/weight session as you do it,

I've been vegetarian for 30 years. Add me.

Use MFP to determine your daily calorie target then log all food to make sure you hit that target!

The 5:2 diet can work as long as you don't go overboard on the "normal" days. If you normally eat way over your maintenance calories a couple of days of fasting per week won't make you lose weight, just slow the increase. For it to work you need to be eating at or below your maintenance calories on the 5 days, then the…

Nope. I eat the same number of calories during the week and on the weekend. The difference for me on the weekends is I'll usually have a smaller breakfast and lunch giving me more calories to eat later in the day.

Sitting at my desk right now it's 56. First thing in the morning it'll be closer to 50.
