If people doing it, refer to those who choose not to like that, I am not surprised they get bashed in return.

It's early days so I can't say yet, but just seemed quite a difference.

Also, I don't weigh daily but I probably would if I was that close to a milestone!

Don't blame your mum, unless you have specifically told her you are trying to lose weight. Even then, if she bought it after being asked not to, you are within your rights to refuse it. It was your choice, but 3000 cal on one day is not a big deal, just eat a bit less tomorrow and the next day.

FWIW, MFP gives me 1300 if I set a 1lb a week goal, at 177lb.

I just got home from a week house sitting and my housemate said "have you lost weight while you were away?" - I have, but only 1lb! And he is a guy, wouldn't have expect him to notice for weeks yet!

Now I am home, I got to weigh. -1lb.... can't lie, I hoped for one of those impressive first week losses but on the other hand it is entirely possible my weekend tracking could be way off as I was away and had to make do with guesses, so I won't complain! Need to go back and find the sheet now! Edit: Sorted. Except I…

This is my problem too - weekdays are fine as I pre-plan meals around work, but I never really know if or when I will be in at weekends. I have always been a lager drinker, I am trying to shift to vodka with soda water and fresh lime to bring the calories way down. It just isn't the same as a nice cold pint though! I…

That's hell of a loss! Keep in mind that it will slow down as you have less to lose, don't let that discourage you, but rather remember it's because you have been so awesome!

There are ways to do it without breathing on each other... spooning for the win

I'm 31 and pretty much dead on 5ft short. I just started on 177 lb. First goal is 140 which sounds quite daunting! But if it takes me a year, so be it. Better than not doing it! Edit: I don't want to stop at 140, but it would put me in a stone bracket I haven't seen for a VERY long time!

Thanks, That's a bit annoying not being able to read the profile if someone adds me, maybe I'll just turn the notifications off on mobile!

I binge terribly when studying, and now I'm delaying doing my dissertation because I know what happens lol. But I do need to get on with it! So I plan on stocking up on high protein foods with the thinking that I'll get full and naturally stop (hopefully)... Also logging them all in advance and then deleting any I don't…

My first weeks whenever I return to some diet are always great but soon slip again. This time I'm not thinking diet, I'm thinking sensible. If I eat into my weeks deficit so be it, as long as I think it was worth it and know it'll put my goal back further. Also want to look at weeks as a whole. I've just started doing this…

Thanks, I thought along those lines. Not too much at all if you've "put on" 3 in a week.

What's a kg in lb? With 3lb discounted as a "false" reading from before so to speak, what loss remains?

This is what I need to hear, I'm around a week in and nursing a hangover. All I want to do is order pizza! But posts like this are strengthening my resolve. Well done!

On my phone, woo looks like a super happy face. On my laptop it's looks like a "wtf a you talking about" face. I've avoided using it for that reason lol

Haha, yeah I used to find myself thinking "I wont have egg, I'll have some grapes and save the points for crisps" - not a healthy mindset! Definitely will give jerky a go, I love a savoury snack!

Lager. I will substitute for vodka and soda if it's going to be a long night, but I know that when in the pub watching football, it has to be pints. I know full well it will mean I get off to a slow start, but as I get more used to the tracking and weighing, and what has what calories, I will have a low cal day on a Friday…

Well, that's a revelation!!

Not sure I could eat a can of tuna without the mayo, pasta and cheese to go with it!

Thanks people!

I think it's crazy to think you can do that every day for the rest of your life, but it is not crazy to think you can do it most days to leave yourself room for a couple of pints at the weekend! I am only just starting my healthier lifestyle (again) but when I dieted before (I am not looking at it as a diet this time!) I…

Nothing at work, I should say. Home is fine!

Hey thanks :) There is nothing except a corner shop that sells mostly out of date bread type products and chocolate , so being prepared is definitely going to be key! I've never noticed the Arla pots, I will definitely check those out, and jerky sounds like a great idea! I feel like looking at calories now rather than…

I would love to lose 30lb by Christmas - I have yet to nail a weekend on track in years of on off dieting maybe if I can jump on this bandwagon I might do better lol. That said, I have a surprise 60th to go to tomorrow which means staying in a hotel and eating out with the other half and his folks tomorrow lunch time, not…

Oh thanks, I haven't found that yet!

This makes total sense. Not just to the quoted poster but in general: Is there an easy way to keep track over the whole week or can you only see calories day by day? It would be great if you could see a weekly goal and as you go through each day it recalculate the average allowance for the days left or something! Anybody…
