Scarily alike… the same slightly smaller left eye, and not one freckle, beauty spot, blemish, scar or wrinkle between them… like they rolled off some freaky conveyor belt, all smooth and perfect…

My current obsession is kiwi fruit with the skins ON. I blame my daughter, and the innocent message she sent me, asking if I knew that it was okay to eat the kiwi’s skin: she had actually tried one and reported it ‘was fine’. I said “Ewww!”. So I bought some, and ate one… and immediately ate another one. I love sour tastes…

I used to take one sugar in my coffee: I decided to give it up, and went cold turkey (rather than reducing slowly, or using a sweetener). My morning coffee was ruined for a LONG time. After the first two weeks it became just about bearable, so I stuck with it. Towards the end of the first month, someone accidentally gave…

Have we had this one yet? Is it me, or do these ladies look very AI generated? I eat a fairly Mediterranean diet. I took the ‘survey’ in the interests of research… from 75kg to 65kg (175lb to 143lb), and it gave me this: Their ‘no.diet diet’ predicts losing at an average rate of 1.25kg per week (2.75 lb). In contrast, my…

Hi all! Signing up for 50 miles in March. I got in a few runs at the end of Feb, so I am only starting to get back into the swing of things. I need to consistently get out there 2/3 times a week… so I just decided to set up a Garmin Coach plan, as I found the plans quite motivating previously! I had good results with Coach…

Also not going to vote because the answer to the question is ‘Nope’, and ‘None of the above’ to the options. I lost at a rate of about 0.8lb for the first few months, decreasing to 0.4lb for months and 0.2lb-0.1lb as I approached my goal. It’s not a linear process so there were ups and downs along the way - it’s the…

Good for you! Welcome to MFP! Lots of great advice and help is now right at your fingertips. Do you have any specific goals yet? [I’ll be 53 soon, and I’m in better shape now than I have been in decades… yes, I wish I had started sooner but it’s NEVER too late to turn things around.]

Some goals are admirable and achievable, and some might not be so wise… It’s fine to set a goal if a) it isn’t too aggressive and unhealthy for your current weight (see excellent points from @ninerbuff) and b) you’re the type of person that thrives on a (publicly declared) personal challenge. However, do consider how you…

Quick post after catching up on all 4 pages of updates… wow, you people have been BUSY! Last week I was with my family at CenterParcs, and I got one proper 3-mile run in on the Monday morning: the rest of the week we were walking, swimming, playing badminton, indoor climbing, laser combat… and running beside the two…

I used a thin pair, and after the halfway mark only my left index finger was still frozen, the rest were fine! I think I suffer a very mild form of Reynaud’s syndrome, as my right middle finger will briefly turn white when I’m driving for no apparent reason - and yet I’m the only person I know who keeps a pair of gloves in…

@ecpetrik, you’re not alone! Anyone else care to share their Kryptonite, and (more importantly) ways to deal with it?

Are you Android or iOS? I have a Garmin Connect , and use Healthkeep scales/app, and I connect them all to MFP via the iPhone Health app. You need to allow the right read/write settings - if you need help with this I can post images.

Take heart, and as @springlering62 said, you may have gained a little but you are still at a net loss: don’t give up on yourself - this shizzle is tough! If it was easy, MFP wouldn’t exist and we wouldn’t all be here. Maintaining weight loss is about finding ways to navigate between what we WANT and what we NEED… and if it…

If it’s a recipe that you will eventually eat all of, dividing it into X servings should be fine - it will average out over the X servings you eat. I do this with things my husband cooks because he religiously follows the recipe but doesn’t weigh the finished product(s). @AnnPT77 uses impeccable maths, and would be the…

Well, I finally got out for my first run of the year… the dark, cold, wet days so far have not exactly been encouraging! On Wednesday mornings I do yoga before work and rush back to log on, so today I was still in my kit at lunchtime: I didn’t allow myself time to think about it so I was outside and on an easy 30min run…

I am sure the other regular forum folks will be along shortly with their pearls of wisdom and helpful links, but rest assured you absolutely don’t need to ‘go to the gym’ if you don’t want to (I don’t like the gym either!). You can lose weight successfully just by walking and cycling (as many others here will testify to),…
