I'd whack your stats into a few calculators - http://health.qandas.com/diet/how-many-calories-do-i-need-to-lose-maintain-or-gain-weight.html Although I think you can set MFP for maintenance rather than loss...

Woop! This may be the best thing I've ever read on MFP. Definitely top 5.

Brilliant recipes on here: http://www.dovesfarm.co.uk/ And also here! http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2009/07/dark-chocolate-chunk-cookies.html

Oh you bunch of actual legends. Feel much better about it now - and motivated to go for a longer run tomorrow (great suggestion, annegenevieves). Thanks to everyone for their advice; it's a killer trying to be perfect all the time and in answer to skierxjes - it felt pretty good to be bad... :)

Anything with oats in it is also good for keeping blood sugar stable through the night and limiting nocturnal hypoglycemia - this can cause insomnia and it stinks. Believe me.

When flatmates write passive aggressive notes on things in the fridge. Oh frig off - like I want your stinking left-over burgers anyway.

Oh what the Helvetica - I'll admit it. I enjoy a nice piece of text in Arial from time to time.

Protein confuses me more than anything - even more than when cows do that huddling thing in the corner of a field. Everybody says something different about protein levels - but I bet someone's already written a pretty informative blog post all about it on this here site... anyone?

Agree with both answers above, but starting to run rather than walk really did it for me :)

I always check this out when I feel a bit low: http://before-afters.tumblr.com/ But failing that, maybe buy a cool new fitness DVD - or try an exercise you've always wanted to try? (Zumba for me!)

Oh my goodness - totally agree with this! I feel like such a failure if I'm getting anywhere near a "net eat" of 1200, but like others I suppose I'd better eat them. I tend to feel pretty tired if I don't...
