Thanks guys ;)

MFP set my daily calories to 1200. It just doesn't seem right and so many people have said that they have changed theirs to a higher amount. I'm just sooooooo confused about it.

Thanks, they don't seem realistic do they? I'm trying to work out my daily cals from my bmr at the moment. Have you lost all that weight on the percentages you mentioned?

Not much at the moment. I'm trying to get motivated and go walking for 30 mins each day. We're travelling around Oz at the mo and it's been difficult to exercise. I weigh 87kg at the moment.

I've just changed it to MFPs recommended goals and it's set my cals to 1200, carbs 55%, protein 15% fat 30%. Do I stick with that and maybe increase the cals to 1400?

Defo in ;)

Thanks guys. I'll be tracking everything then.

You have definately inspired me too. I'm trying to lose weight while travelling around Oz in a caravan with 2 young kids!!

Cook some pumpkin and mash it up with a little ground cumin and it's a delish topper for Philly on Cruskits or rice thins ;)

Hi, I'm Rachel, 36, married with 2 kids. We are from the UK but emigrated to Australia in 2009. We love it here. We live in Port Macquarie, NSW but are traveling around Oz in a caravan and are 2 months in to a 12 monto trip. Currently in South Australia. I was 108kg and last Christmas weighed 64kg. I know weigh 82kg and am…

Thanks for all of your helpful comments. I'm going to give mfp a good try and not think about the others ;)

Funny guy !!'

I'm interested too Rachel

That's all I can ever find...a big bag of frozen whites

Bump :happy:

I meant to add it to the quote and not in the quote!!! Sounds like a fab plan. Have you lost all your weight this way?

That's awesome!!! Well done you x

Wow, that's awesome!!! Have you cut anything out or just reduced your portion sizes? I've been trying to follow a lower carb way, but I keep thinking "I lost it (40kg) before following WW, so why can't I track my cals now(I've put 20 back on)"

That's awesome!!!!:wink:

Hi guys, I'm on day 2 of induction and feel great!! Rach x

Thanks ;) I know whatever plan you follow you have to give something up!! I've given booze up for goodness sake!!!! and have found that easy, so hopefully the carbs will be easy too!

In saying that, I've just enjoyed 3 eggs scrambled with a little butter!! Do you know what I mean though? I look at carb foods in the fridge and cupboard and think "Oh, I'll miss you so much!" Is that normal to start with?

I've just downloaded Gary Taubes' book on to my kindle and can't wait to read! I am still really confused as to which plan to follow. I really want to try a low carb approach, in fact I am trying, but am finding it difficult to "lose" the foods that I thought were healthy ie low fat/low cal.....do you know what I mean?! I…

Have you lost all of your weight doing MFP and WW?
