Thanks guys, like i said I've been eatin bac my exercise cals I'll check my goals

i'm from Dublin, Ireland! Dublin is the capital and is a really great place to live.....if you ignore all the economic crap - same as anywhere at the moment i guess. i'm lucky enough to live beside the Phoenix Park - the largest walled park in Europe and so I usually see deer or squirrels or horses when i go running there…

i work shifts too and it is hard to eat and excercise when you have no routine! But here are some things I do to help: *when i'm on early shifts I cook (well...my boyf does!!) dinners that you can make multiples of and freeze (like burgers, fish cakes, lasagne, whatever) then i can bring them to work with me on the late…

haha! i was sooooo confused bout the BUMP thing but too shy to ask!

don't worry, i bet u r just gaining muscle, thats why ur not losing weight.....maybe focus on losing inches or noticing how toned ur getting for a while? also the above posts are probably right, u could probably do with eating a bit more too. good luck!!!

thanks for posting this, it's my problem area too!

welcome on board! i agree, it's a great site, especially the support from the community and everything. keep up the good work!

welcome on board! fitness pal is great for keeping you motivated cos you can see what workouts other people are doing and use the community for support, as well as the accountability of the excercise and food diary.....most of all it's a FUN site so that should help keep you interested!!

hey bikini brooke! girl, you need to take the weight of all that worry off your shoulders! you're only FOURTEEN!!!!! do u know how fast your metabollism is?? you can pretty much eat whatever you like and your metabollism with just eat it up! I think you're right to want to eat healthy, etc but you definitely do not need to…

i weigh 112lbs, 5 ft 1, and not trying to actually lose any weight (just tone up) and i was told 1460 a day.....how can that be right when it's pretty close to yours/??

Hi Patrick, welcome on board! never heard of that diet but sounds good to kickstart your weight loss! what about keeping it off though? like you said, mfp is good for developing long lastiing healthy habits, it's slowly but surely working for me! feel free to friend me Sal

hey nick, welcome on board! community is brilliant and if u ever have any queries or feel unsure just let us know and u'll have loads of support! Sal

is it free?

mmmmmmmmmm...soudns gorgeous!

maybe you're gaining more muscle?? i agree, take no notice of the scales for awhile and focus on how your clothes fit and your energy levels. the main thing is DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

i'm in the same boat! we'll encourage each other!!!!

same here!

good luck!!! fitness pal is brilliant and the more you use it the easier it becomes to use! soon you'll be logging all your food and excercise in jus a few minutes. the support from others is brilliant too, hope u enjoy it!

Sometimes, if I have a craving for something sweet I put a few leaves of fresh mint in my water (cold), it gives it a nice sweet and fresh flavour.....mmmmmm.....

hi thanks for all your messages of support!! it's been easy so far (eh i'm only 4 days in!) but i'm going to a BBQ later.....haha! i'm plannin on not eating any of the buns and filing up on salad. i'll go for a cycle beforehand (already really warm here and it's only 8.30am...could this really be Ireland???). i never…

i've heard that doing the plank everyday, cutting out bread, pasta and alcohol work.....dunno how sustainable that would be for u tho!

wooooooohooooooooooo!!!! well done you!! keep up the good work!

my top tip for making sure u exercise - if u plan to exercise on ur days off, DON'T turn on the tv or get comfy on the sofa. Also get dressed in ur sweats straight away so u've no excuses!!
