Wow good for you Frank I'm Gemma 35 years old from the UK. You sound very positive and motivated. Like you said If you done It before you can definitely do it again. You know it's not easy but that's why you have joined MFP. I have 18lbs to go I've lost 41lbs since last year so far but I needed support as second time…

What an inspiration you are. Your an amazing guy. I wish my dad did the same now he has loads of health problems and is on a cocktail of meds and disabled. I've tried to put him on a diet so many times but he is set in his ways. I have 14lbs to loose and seeing my dad struggle I never want to get like that

Hi you can add me if you like by the looks of things you don't need motivation to loose weight
-
Please stop putting yourself down. Your family shouldn't slate on your weight at all. To loose weight you need to stay focused the first few weeks are the hardest but once you see a few pounds come off that will keep driving you to succeed. Make it your hobby your life. I've been there and it's flippin hard but it's worth…

Up the protein gradually take the refined sugar out. This will cause sugar cravings once you have lowered this start eating more nuts almonds or hand ful of walnuts in your low sugar high protein yogurt. fat however fat doesn't make a person fat carbs and sugars that are not burned make a person fat. You don't burn them…

Hi, I'd say it's a mixture of water loss and BF. I had this also, a big drop of the first few months. Once you get closer to your goal weight the pounds come off gradually

When you mean carbs do you mean bread and pasta potatoes? Depending on what time of day it is if I was to have a pasta dish I'd be asleep on the sofa within the hour. Those type of carbs tire me out. But I love bread and I occasionally have some. But like what people say if you don't burn it you wear it. I thought I was…

Just read your other post Shakes smoothies are great they are packed with nutrients and keep you full for longer. You can add spinach coconut milk frozen strawberries Banana yogurt as you won't be able to use protein powder ATM due to BF. Snack on berries as they are low in sugars and hummus with carrots or cucumber rice…

Well I'm 35 years old 164lbs I'm 5'7. I want to get down to 140-145lbs. When I input my info in MFP the cals come to 1200 a day. Even on other apps I've used before MFP. The IIFYM came to those figures I put above. I think I was full due to having busy days and eating protein as this does cause not to have cravings however…
-
Thank you for your help. I've been reading and 37gs a day for my carbs I though was pretty low but I think if I'm not training on that day I should stick to it. And maybe up it slightly to get my fibre intake in. I've started today and I've got lots of calories left as I would normally have vegs with my lunch and tea but…

Hi I'm Gemma from the U.K. I'm a single Mum of 2 5'7 and currently weigh 160lbs. I gained and lost on my first pregnancy 4 years ago then last year I was at my heaviest after the birth of my daughter at 206lbs and my goal is 140lb. It's super hard having little ones and trying to juggle work, school, tea time, bed times…

Hi Nelly I'm Gemma from the U.K. I will help you stay motivated. It's so hard to get back into it but a good set of MFP friends to help you on the way when times are hard is what you need. My story in a nut shell- I had gained 45lbs after pregnancy number one and lost it then I gained a whooping 55lbs after pregnancy…

I could do with motivation please so add me smile: and I always logged on MFP to motivate others

Hi I'm no nutritionist expect but I've read a lot of information on this topic. To cut your sugar content(which stores fat if not burnt) and also cutting your carbs to a safe amount (also if not used will turn into fat) but still have energy to carry out your daily tasks I'd recommend protein in each meal. So let's say…

@andyzee69 thanks for your reply that would be great though I'm not sure how to add friends yet I'll give it a go :)
-
Thank you for taking your time to reply @MarvinsAMartian . I will do some research into this and come up with a plan.
-
I would like a weigh in buddy :)
-
Yes I found this as well. I would stick to my calorie allowance and I wasn't loosing perhaps a pound. I'm 35 years old. I found I was eating within the correct allowance of carbs protein and sugars. But I discovered that it was me and my body doesn't respond well with carbs and sugar so I've cut out refined sugars and…

Me too

I'm Gemma 35 years old newly single mother for 2. My son is 4 and my daughter is 15 months. And I work part time so exercise time is limited and food prep is also. But I've…
