I joined in Feb 2012 and needed to loose about 14lbss. I achieved that back before the summer and a bit more. I'm currently maintaining and have managed to keep my weight off. It does fluctuate up and down by a few pounds but I'm comfortable with that. MFP has really educated me with my eating, got some nasty surprises in…

Thank you again. I have now included this in 'Favourites'. Really helpful!
-
Thanks for this will have a look now.

And also take your measurements. I agree MFP is a great site to really help you focus. It's really helped me learn the different values of the foods I eat. Good luck!

I use milled flaxseed and use it to make turkey burgers. Flaxseed is low in carbs, its a healthy fat and is high in fibre.

Perhaps get your body fat % measured and also is your waist size in line or smaller than the recommendations for a women? Doctors don't always go by BMI alone.

I've watched the first two programmes now and I am enjoying it. I have got the recipes from the website and will definately be trying them out!

Mine as set by MFP are: Carbs 179 Fat 43 Protein 49 Sugar 21 Sat fat 13 And I'm always over on sugar but as it's usually from fruit and veg I don't worry too much!

Use a tape measure. You could be losing inches instead of weight.

51 and lost 15lbs. Quite happy where I am now although would love to lose a couple of inches off the waist! Am cycling and doing Zumba now.

Was totally shocked when I saw how many calories a bottle of wine clocked up! Added to that I'd have a big bag of Doritos with it and found I'd consumed a over a days food in one evening! I still have a glass or two if I fancy it but try to stick to spirits with a diet mixer now.

I'll bet she can't keep up 90 days of not eating much. You're doing the right thing, keep it up! :smile:

Me too!

Bump! Got a friend who has done it 3 times now, lost 4 stone each time, and then every single time put it straight back on again, Tried telling her she's not educating herself but to no avail.

I have porridge every 3rd day and make it with 40g of oats, 100mls skimmed milk, 150mls water, teaspoon cinnamon powder and 1 tsp of sugar substitute and it's 142 cals, which I'm ok with.

I agree with Bexilon, watch the sugar e.g. muffins, granola etc., go for fruit and veg which give you enough sugars. Hope it helps.
-
Well done you. You're doing great!
-
Totally agree. I've ate what the mfp says and have not stagnated at all. I've gradually lost weight and am almost at my target now.

I have been maintaining since just after Christmas.... I am going through a change of direction and adding in strngth training- I have not weighed for 3 weeks- as per my pts advice but I dont think I have gained too much weight.
