liking this advice! might try that with the alarm as well at the moment its a radio alarm clock so listening to music next to me is not an incentive to get up! it almost seems as if its one thing or the other with me - i either exercise really well but don't restrict calories OR i log and restrict cals but then cant get…

To be honest it's more of a motivation issue than a time issue. When I am 'into' exercise I will get up and go in the morning but it's as if some stresses in life are making me feel like I am trudging through at the moment. Even my cat has given up trying to get me up - she just sits on my chest in the mornings instead!…

Also i am now trying to record the binges in the MFP diary - something i have never done in the past as its easier to deny. Quite a reality check to be honest and actually stopped the last one becoming catastrophic! Tellingyswlf not recording it does notean it didnt happenso i need to face itrather than mindlessly ignore it

Wow, this could have been me writing this post! I am really trying now though telling myself that only I am not happy when I overeat and I like being happy. I am in control of that so I am really trying to keep myself happy and viewing like that.

I lost quite a lot of weigh and am now in the healthy BMI but would still like to loose about 7lb and will always see myself as 'the big girl' I had a comment from an uncle's new girlfriend who only knew the 'new me' and she made a comment saying 'you are so luck you can eat what you want and keep such a nice figure'…

this Is kinda what I meant for the post - nothing trying to be odd but something you have come across that you were expecting to be much worse than it was some great ideas and so many normal foods coming up diet foods should be banned in my opinion lol the quote 'it's half the fat so I can eat twice as much' spings to mind…

Bacon is a good one I quite like a bccon buttie with crustless bread. I never liked crusts anyway and when you cut them off its almost the same weight of just one slice of bread so why bother eating it if I don't like it lol

I am kinda confused by this people are saying that 1200 is very low amount of cals to be on unless you are have a lot to loose so set it to lose just between 0.5-1lb But, if I set mine to just 1lb a week then it puts it on 1200 cals that I should be eating Generally I try to eat between 1200-1400 but I was just a bit…

Aww thank you, getting motivated to do it is definitely a bit hurdle alas its slowed down now and I have been the same weight as Wednesday morning. There goes my plan for being done in a week!

I would have posted a picture of my one I had today but I don't know how to add a picture! I have the 500ml size but my husband (who is not watching is weight) wanted a bigger more manly one and uses the 750ml size!

[/quote] you only have a little to lose, set mfp to lose 0.5lb per week!!!!!! losing vanity pounds is slow going! [/quote] Haha, I wish it was vanity pounds. To be honest I am not normally bothered by numbers especially while I am doing exercise as my weight normally goes up a bit anyway. its more that it is going up…

that was my gut reaction about 1200 cals to be honest - hence the post. very interesting to read but also why does it then suggest it. It does seem any weight loss for me will be quite slow then since 1200 cals is to only lose 1lb/wk Annoying when it can go on very quickly! Maybe just cutting back a little then and really…

If you ate at maintenance and concentrated all your exercise on lifting heavy your shape would change, you would lose fat and inches and the number on the scale wouldn't be as much of an issue [/quote] this was one of my problems at the moment - I am not reliably able to get exercise in for a number of reasons. I am trying…

so from this the consensus seems to be to eat more although that would suggest I would not lose weight...?

Exercise can really vary to be honest - with stuff in life it ranges from 0-3 times a week (last 6weeks probably around 2 times I think) What I do varies to Each of these would be one session (so one days exercise) and can be any one of the following 4.5mile outooor run at 10min mile gym session (20min treadmill at 11km/h,…

Thank you, that is a good idea to set as maintenance and aim for under. That will make me feel better as well than the big angry red line telling me I have eaten too much because I had an extra cup of tea pushing my cals to 1209 a day lol I know I need to relax about it all - as a former bigger girl I am so proud that I…

That is not a bad idea to monitor something else although I have no idea what BF% I would be aiming for! also presumably to loose fat I need to loose weight and MFP says I need to eat 1200cal a day just to loose 1lb. so much more than 1200cal and surely I would be not loosing anything at all? this is what is confusing me I…

Could it also be the eating healthily combined with not actually weighing. For example nuts and seeds are very healthy but without weighing them it is very easy to underestimate what you are eating. They are high in good fat but fat is still fat and calories. So they will be a much healthier choice for you than eating a…

Haha this made me laugh because the last bit of this suggested that he met his demise from the diet after 30h (I am hoping that is not what you meant otherwise this would seem very very cruel!)
