1. Should I lift weights? If so, how often? 2. Is 1200 calories too less because that is what I ate when i lost those 10lbs :o You should eat more than that, especially when you first begin. Use MPF to caculate how many cals you should be having! 3. Can I take a day where I eat a little junk food? Yes, I have once a week a…

I'm lactose intolerant, I drink soy milk. If I consume small amounts of dairy, i;m ok but to much i'll have stabbing pains, need to go to the toilet, bloating overall sick. I went to the doctors who said, most people just know they are without the need for the test. He reccomened removing dairy from my diet and if it…

I usually get salads/grilled calamari/soups or if I know i'm going out at night, i'll look at the menu at the start of the day and add the cals in my dairy in the morning. Therefore I know how many cals i can eat for the rest of the day without going over.

Make healthier verisions of unhealthy things, www.skinnytaste.com has fabulous ones, like healthy chicken nuggets/pickles/eggplant chips/sweet potato chips, my neice loves all of them and so do I. Healthy pizza, i use mountain bread as a pizza base, you could also use cauliflower etc!

Every Thursday morning, before eating/drinking

I agree with everyone else's comments, others feel guilty when you order a salad and they've ordered fries and deep fried food. but from someone who's used MFP for over a year, people start to get over it and just get used to it. They've stopped asking why i'm not drinking or not ordering a massivly bad meal. That being…

i like having it on public as it keeps me accountable and helps other to support me if i do have a bad day

Aussie here! i had I had two slices of oven cooked pizza and a banana muffin it was my neices 2nd birthday!

I'd have a greek feast! - dips and pita bread then slow cooked chicken and lamb then greek salad, gelato for dessert and maybe whack down a bowl of salt and vinegar chips... if i had room! haha

My sister has the merina and LOVES it. She's never had any weight gain or problems with her hormones.

You look amazing!! well done :)

I feel the same! what i've been doing at xmas dinners etc, is bringing healthy snacks such as a platter with cuccumber/carrots/celery and dip or fruit so i snack on the lighter options and only indulge a little, however on xmas day there is no-way i will be counting! haha

\ me too! love it

Fantastic job! well done :)

Haha, the internet must of come off differently than i meant it, i didn't realise that there was a calorie limitations, but i assume she still needs to hit 900 cals, just trying to help the lady.

Fair engouh, but she's still not eating the 900 cals most days

If you are truely logging everything you are eating, your not eating engouh. Your only consuming 900 cals a day at the most, an individual needs to consume AT LEAST 1,200 anything under that and your body is in stravation mode and is clinging onto everything you are eating. More water and better choices.. like someone…

I'll sometimes pre- log dinner if i know what i'm having so i can see how many cals i have left for lunch and afternoon snacks, i'll pre-log a full day if i'm at work or school, where i know i'll only eat the food i've brought with me!

Chocolate and Crips are both high in saturated fats and can be quite deadly, even if your under your calorie intake with those foods, you will not lose weight.

Thanks for your advice! I have the same problem, i'm going to take it on board!

I actually HATE it! I have to push myself to do everytime :)

45 - 50

1. Buying an Australia size 16 2. Looking at photos and hating them, therfore begining to hide in photos 3. None of my clothes where fitting 4. Friend losing heaps of weight all things combined made me want to lose weight, 15.5kgs later :)

I just worked it out, before I was eating about 2,500 worth of cals a day now i'm averaging about 1,500 and exercising! My usual day before MFP breakfast : BEFORE: multigrain bread & peanut butter NOW: Usually Multigrain bread and vegemite Snacks: Fruit & energy drink NOW: Water/sugar free enegry drink maybe fruit or…

Mine is me in my 21st dress a year later and ALOT lighter!

- Carrots with hommus - sultanas - crispetts with vegemite - FRUIT! - celeray

WELL DONE!! KEEP IT UP!

You clearly aren't doing it right, MFP definitely DOES work!! I've been doing it since January and the difference is amazing and beyond anything i could have hoped for!

Hi Mary, You could be right. Have you googled the symptoms are they in line with Binge eating symptoms? Are you Australian? If so, you should go to your local GP they will refer you to councelling and the first 6 sessions are usually free. If not, google websites/help lines and give them a call! Good Luck!

I also noticed the towel thing!! & also when I lean on the couch in a certain position my ribs rub against the arm of the chair, never felt that before!! Old clothes fitting again yay!
