I’m just over 1 year sober and I still have drunk dreams, I still find them really unpleasant but I try to think about how you feel when you wake up and realise it’s not true and never has to be again!

I’ve worked out every day this week!

Chocolate was definitely better for me than booze! I initially used AA because I was desperate for help and just an all round general mess, but I slowly stopped going as my life got busier (teacher training does that!) and I just go it alone now. AA definitely saved my life in those first few months though, it did feel a…

Hello everyone, I’ve just discovered this thread at the start of my second weight loss journey with MFP. I’m back losing weight again after a tough battle with depression, anxiety and alcoholism. I’m just over a year sober and I’m now working on losing the weight I piled on during my drinking and in early recovery (newly…

A dress that was too tight a couple a weeks ago now fits, as well as some work clothes that I bought ages ago!

Hi all, I’m also back after 5 years of gaining. I’ve fought a tough battle with depression and alcoholism and now I’m focusing on my weight. I’ve also taken up running during lockdown thanks to couch to 5k, pretty bummed out that COVID derailed my gym sessions with my personal trainer, but we’ve been doing at home body…

Another Brit here, feel free to add me! I’m back after a long hiatus and regaining all my weight lost, here we go again!

I'm 5'7, I weight 133lbs and I wear a size 8-10 UK.

I'm 5'7" 129lbs with a 26.5 inch waist so it's definitely doable if your body shape allows for it.

When I have avocados in my house I usually end up eating a full one on wholewheat toast for breakfast every day. I'm still losing weight fine, I just shift around other meals to make up for it. The good thing about this breakfast is it keeps me full for ages so I don't tend to snack.

Lentils, tofu, tempeh, fake meat, soya protein powder, quinoa. Spot the vegan ha.

I fit into a UK size 8 and at a New Year's party almost everyone I knew told me how well I was looking.

I used to drink a lot of cider on nights out. Now I can't stomach it, it's way too sweet and makes me feel bloated, I stick to spirits with diet mixer when drinking now which means I usually spend less and drink less because since losing weight my alcohol tolerance has plummeted anyway.

I've lost 70lbs. I went from a size 18 (UK) and 36F to a size 8 (UK) and a 32D, although I could probably wear a 30DD if I could find that size easily!

I'm vegan and I log most days, feel free to check out my diary!

Tofu scramble is a really quick meal to make. Just fry some veg and tofu up with a tiny bit of oil, it goes great with a slice of toast or I usually cook some lentils to throw in as well so it's really high protein and filling! Only takes about half an hour if you're making lentils or even less if you have toast or…

5'7" SW: 202 CW: 132 GW: 126

8 mile cycle to and from uni :)

Can you not change which pill you're on? When I was on Microgynon 30 I gained 3 stone and couldn't shift any of it unless I did loads of exercise and barely ate anything, so I was just setting myself up for failure. When I came off that pill the weight literally fell off without me doing anything. I was reluctant to go…

5ft 7. I was 202lbs at my highest 3 years ago, now I'm at my lowest ever weight of 138lbs thanks to MFP, veganism and cycling!

I've been vegan since August, before that I was a dairy-free pescetarian for a couple of months. Feel free to add me!

I'm 5'7 & 140lbs and I have my daily goal set at 1,750 to lose 0.5lbs a week, most days I struggle to reach this and usually average at about 1,350. I don't tend to log my exercise because I cycle everywhere and don't have a heart rate monitor so I think if I logged my exercise according to MFP I'd overeat to eat my…

Avocado on toast. I discovered it yesterday and it is my new favourite breakfast, just toast some bread, mash up an avocado with a bit of salt and pepper (maybe some hot sauce if you like it) and spread it on the toast. It kept me full until 1pm (I ate at 8am and cycled 7 miles before lunch) and it's only around 350…

Hey, I'm a new vegan (2 months-ish). I try to keep up with my logging but it sometimes goes out of the window when I'm busy, I have an open diary and I've added you! :)

When I'm at home I drink unsweetened almond, when I'm at my boyfriend's I drink rice milk because it's what he prefers. I use unsweetened soy milk for cooking.

Constantly being the fat friend on nights out. Not being able to wear the clothes I like. Feeling self-concious during sex (maybe TMI). Not being able to enjoy summer because I was too self-concious of showing any skin. Feeling like people judged me when eating out. Being tagged in photos. Constantly being too warm. Chub…

I pre-log before I start cooking so I'm not tempted to add extra things when I'm cooking! I find that if I log after I've eaten I tend to forget weights/measurements of food.

Usually some varient on oatmeal. I'm going through a chocolate/peanut butter phase at the moment! When I can be bothered though I like to do a tofu/veggie scramble with a slice of wholewheat toast!

Feel free to add me, my goal isn't as low as yours but I'm the same weight as your starting weight and could always do with some extra support :)

I used to work at Subway and they are so strict on hygiene. Out of date food is never used, not even if it goes over by one day. Anything that is dropped on the floor goes in the bin immediately, my hands used to get chapped from the amount of time we HAVE to wash our hands. Yeah I know all the food isn't the healthiest or…
