  • Thank you for replying ........ a year huh ? Something else they never told me! I love to swim and had fully intended to do more as summer approaches, but no way in hell am I going out on a beach in public or a pool for that matter like this .................... I cannot even wear sleeveless clothes or short skirts, in…
  • Bones - hip bones getting in the way of pilates as I have lost padding - making getting comfortable in the bath difficult too Smaller feet - bonus Swilling around in surplus skin that is like a deflated balloon and needs ironing - everywhere - unbelievably horrid and a constant battle to keep going in spite of hating my…
  • I use Map my walk, by the same company as MFP - I use the free version. I also have an apple watch which helps balance out when I do what, when I should move around a bit etc, it also syncs nicely with Nike training and with Apple Health.
  • Think it is pretty close to what we eat, low on butter, only use olive oil, very very few processed foods - local fresh food, fruit vegetables, fish and seafood.
  • Multivitamin every day and Cartisil ( Glucosamine complex ) for degenerative arthritis, twice a day - DR prescribed.
  • Apple Watch Series 2 for me, just fine for a novice.

I joined here, weigh…
  • I have not been doing this long , but this is my understanding. Calories in - Log everything you eat and drink. If you want to be more exact weigh everything you eat and drink, ( this helped me a lot at the start to get an idea of what actually ways what and is far more accurate than the vague " serving " option. )…
  • I could understand some change/reaction.... 3 kilos eradicating three weeks hard slog for me seems a bit excessive and incredibly demoralising.
  • Have only seen her once, hoping she is the former not the latter. She has emphasised the need for downward trend , mainly by marker pen as the whole appointment was in Portuguese as she spoke no English - there could be room for translation error. Also think she was a bit taken aback by my use of MFP , think she felt left…
  • Unfortunately the scale number controls my dietician. My current panic .. after three weeks of getting my my exercise up to speed and regular and all food weighed, calories consistently under budget ( under 1200 ) and a nice steady loss, I appear according the the chemists scales which I use once a week to make sure I am…
