Hi Mark ,im Dawn, 57 in melbourne Australia but originally from Kent uk. This is my second time round on MFP ,ive had a 3 yr gap as i had a few health issues so unfortunately put back on the 30 kilos i had previously lost !!! Its a fabulous app to use, as long as you log everything and be honest with urself. Ive lost 16…

Hi, like springlering62 said, an insulated lunch box would be perfect. You could pre make a salad or wrap, if you dont want to pre make the wrap then just put a bag of lettuce or baby spinach leaves, cucumber slices, ham or light cheese slices in zip lock bags. My favourite is a small tin of tuna or salmon then make the…

If you use the app to build a recipe, add each ingredient individually then tell it how many serves you want from the whole amount at the end .The app will calculate the calories per serve. Thats the best way as long as you add the weight of all ingredients as you add them. It should be prety accurate 😊

I only have 3 cups of weak coffee per day but have never counted it as my water intake. As coffee is a diuretic my dr tells me to drink 2 extra glasses of water for every cup of coffee i drink .😊

After being here many times over the years, losing for certain occasions, then relaxing and regaining the weight once the occasion had been and gone - often plus more !!! I have decided - for me, i am not setting any time frame for my loss this time round. I am losing slow and steady and it can take as long as takes to get…

Well, im gonna sound very boring compared to everyone on here. I usually get up around 7.30 am every day (even now while still in lockdown) . I have a sachet of Carmens oats , low sugar and fat (Australian) , there are various flavours - with almond milk and a cup of instant coffee with soy milk. Thats it, i have that…

Olives - the most fowl tasting things god put on earth !!!

This is all great advice, thats whats great about MFP app. I often read the comunity blogs and comments they are very helpful and quite inspiring I think you are so overwhelmed by people giving you bad advice elsewhere and the idea of all those fad diets out there is a minefield and none of them work. Logging, weighing…

Breakfast : Carmens oats (pouch) with achai berry and coconut - mixed with almond milk. Coffee with soy milk Lunch : Rye mountain bread wrap , filled with small tin of tuna in springwater , mixed with a teaspoon of soy mayo, and baby spinnach leaves. Coffee with soy milk Dinner : Lean roast pork ( 100g cooked weight).…

Eggs are a superfood but i believe, like everything, they should be eaten in moderation. If i was to cook an omelette, i would use 1 whole egg with 2 egg whites. Although the yolk has a lot of neutrients and protein, that is where the most cslories are. So thats a way of having eggs but keeping the calories down .😊

I like to weigh once, sometimes twice a week, i find that daily is too often to deal with flutuations!!!

Looking good , well done 😊

You look amazing - i am 57 too and i would love to look like ur looking right now - fabulous !!! Thanx for sharing your journey it has been realy inspiring 😄😄😄

Good on you 😊

I have pasta now and then but i find about 35 g dry weight is plenty when bulked up with mushrooms, zuccini or any veg realy. A dietician got me to always have a salad on the side with it and that keeps me from having too much !!!

Hi vegjoyp, yes its hard at times. Chocolate and cheese are my weakness so i have the same problem because they are calorie bombs! I even got no sugar chocolate and although its actually nice, its still high calorie - the good thing with it is that its a laxative if you eat more than a couple of squares, so that stops me…
