Thank you 😊

Yeh I've started eating some back this week, today it said 900+ burn and I ate just over 300 of them.

Forgot to add I'm 263 lbs at last weigh in

Well I'm just inputting on here and it tells me based on my current weight. I was doing a 7 inch step and 2 sessions of 45. This week I'm doing 45 minutes and 15 minutes bike. It's still saying over 900 cal burn for that. Interestingly another calorie counter app gives less by about 300 calories. Each week I have lost…

Yes it helps a lot thanks. And I've friended you!

Only just got into the community and added some friends, already inspired by a couple of diaries and would love to see more? I log religiously every day! Been here 48 days today I'm 49, male and in the UK I'll FR you all and hope that's OK, thanks 😊

So I'm 49 and in the UK, first time on MFP logged every day for 47 days and would really appreciate some friends to motivate both ways..... not sure how it works but I'll add some of you above and go from there. Please feel free to add me

Really helped getting all these replies thank you so much. It's one blip (and not really a blip as I still lost a lb!) Will refocus and stop getting hung up on amount of weight plus speed of loss and focus on my nutrition and exercise to lose weight and sustain it for the long term into maintenence....

Thank you that was really helpful and inspiring

Thank you for your reply and some really good points. I'm having a weekend of relaxing (had a takeaway!) 2 days of sensible eating and then start Monday anew making sure I eat more in relation to my exercise.

Thank you for your reply really helpful

I know your right and and knownthe health problems all too well, I had my gall bladder removed not long after my 6 month loss of 12.5 stones! My aim is to get as much off as I can and lift my calories slowly as I reach the end to a maintain weight scenario but, as you say, I'm trying to hard to lose to quick. So one last…

Thank you for your reply. I am giving myself 2 years to get down to 161lbs so expect long haul I have a history of diets with no exercise and also crash diets. I did lighterlife once and in 6 months went from 336 lbs (my heaviest ever) to 161 lbs my lightest adult weight since I was 19! But it did nothing and I've gone up…

Yes I'm weighing religiously or using measuring jugs etc. If uts something like an egg I'm using the scan and unit of 1 or 2 etc. My BIG problem is I hate veggies! I can manage peas, carrots and sweetcorn so will try to get more in... when I make my own meal like sweet and sour chicken, I weigh each individual ingredient…

That makes a lot of sense thank you

Thank you for your reply, I'm so sore and it's the first time after weeks of exercise, I thought it was because I'd doubled what I'm doing but think I need to rest up over the weekend and start afresh next week with more calories to support the muscles?

Thank you for your reply I've made my diary public now I didn't realise it could be private or public 🤦‍♂️so I basically need to up my calories which scares me half to death!

So I'm gutted and upset and confused all in one. I've had my hardest week yet eating less and exercising massively more and I've lost 1lb I know I should be happy at that loss but my body hurts so much and I feel like it's been a total waste of time

Welcome I've sneaked in at 49 as well shhhh

Thank you 😁

I didn't know you could have MFP friends? How do you add or request people? Would really help to have someone just encouraging and there to listen and be listened too.......

Thank you for sharing what a massive inspiration you are. Keep going you are doing amazing

Thank you and I will!

Thank you. My first aim is 210 pounds so 54 lbs left and roughly a third of the way to my target!

So Friday is my weekly weigh day. Today is week 13 and I started on MFP 40 days ago. My biggest issue is not having any friends who take it seriously and just laugh it off! Anyway, if it's ok I'd like to share in here? I am 49 years old, set at 1600 calories a day, I am also making sure I eat more protein than carbs. I am…

Hi Bella, another newbie here (35 days on MFP) but about to weigh tomorrow which will be 12 weeks. I've lost 18.5 lbs at week 11. Exercise seems to be the key this time for me!

I was medically discharged from the forces just under 30 years ago because of both knees being damaged. Always struggled with my weight since and can't run or ride a bike, BUT since starting this push and moving onto MFP I've started to do step aerobics as I was told it's low impact! Well I do 45 minutes a day now 5 days a…

Ok I think I'm understanding it at last! I am morbidly obese so happy with the 1660 MFP have set I do not work currently so no general exercise in the day BUT I am doing a bodyweight workout from the plans on here and a 25 aerobic step class 5 days a week which MFP suggests is just over 700 calories. I'll go through to…

Hi thanks for your reply. I am currently 19 stone 10.5 so would like an aggressive 2lb a week loss for a short time then drop it so yes set MFP to 2lb a week. I am doing exercise that MFP logs as just over 700 calories a day, so if I add them in then that would make 2300 so that is where my BMR is! Ok! So as long as I eat…

That is extremely helpful thank you. Off to work out my BMR and TDEE!
