Best of luck! I'm starting back again today too 🤞

I'm 5'1" , sendentary, starting weight 149lbs and want to lose 1 lb a week and it's given me 1200 net calories. I find it hard to eat only that much. I feel like MFP is being mean with my cals allowance! :smiley:

How do you make your diary open?

Type it into the food finder thingy and you should get a few options there. There's one for 'Generic, Chinese pork curry'

Sorry for the side track question but how do I invite someone on here to add me as a friend? I'm sure it's straightforward, and actually I know I've done it before, but I just can't see how to do it now. Middle age brain!

I'm not judging you but I honestly don't know why you would want to lose any weight as you are well within a normal range for your height. 12lbs would be a big % of your overall body weight to lose.

Thanks Loserbaer!

Hi Robin, my name is Mandy. I'm 51 in a couple of days and am determined this is the last time I will 'start a new healthy eating regime'... So, I'm taking it really slow. I'm logging everything, even if I go waaaaay over my cal limit. It took about 3 years to gain this weight (was always slim before) so if it takes 3…

It's the flavouring on the crisps that can contain gluten, not the potato itself.

Why aren’t you eating the 1580 cals that mfp set? Why reduce it to 1300?

Maybe a stupid question but, apart from satisfying ‘false hunger’, how does drinking water help weight loss?

Good for you. Hope it keeps things interesting enough to stick with the calorie deficit.

I'd sooner check how my clothes are fitting than go to the expense of a dexa scan. Fat takes up more space than muscle for the same weight, so if you're the same weight but have more muscle then you should see and feel that in how your clothes fit.

Noreenmarie1234 what make/model do you have? Your pics are amazing! Can't believe you use no oil!

Thanks all. I'm looking forward to being equally shocked at other foods/portion sizes of foods that I love! Knowledge is power though

Thanks. It's an eye opener for me. I won't be using them as a proper food substitute again! I could've had a good dinner for that lol!

Add me

Not UK but Republic of Ireland so add if you wish!

I used that for over a year a few years ago and noticed absolutely no difference in anything.

ibajana, wha'ts Pam?

You don't say whether or not you have gone to a podiatrist for a diagnosis of plantar facciitis or self diagnosed. If you haven't had a professional diagnosis of your problem, my advice is to do so. I thought I had plantar facciitis, but having visited a podiatrist was diagnosed with Pre-frontal tibial tendonitis. The…

Hi all, My name is Mandy and I'm almost 51 and 5'1.5". I'm starting back to weight loss after a few years of completely ignoring it. I've got ultimately about 30lbs to lose but am starting with a goal of about 15lbs.

Just enter your current weight and goal weight etc into your profile and it should give you calories per day.

Sorry, my last post didn't post. Just wanted to say thanks so much for posting your pics they have really and truely inspired me. It made the difference between me going for the 40 minute brisk walk at lunch time and sitting on my *kitten*. I am just under 5'2" myself and to me you only look to weigh about 112 lbs. You do…

What's IIFYM?

If your profile photo is accurate, then I don't think you look too thin in the face at all.

Good for you for realising the truth of the matter! Too many people jump on the latest food fad bandwagon.

Hi Kath, Unless your photo is very misleading, you do not look at all busty! What cup size are you? I'm an F and while I know it's big, I don't think it's that big a deal. Are you sure you are really so big? Or is it that you were teased so you are hyper aware of it? The reason I ask is that many people have breast…

Ditto.
