No I am asking anyone that lives anywhere but the UK and USA to see where else MFP is used. Andy

A great day for you :happy: well done

OK I was going to send a friend request then you mention pork pie :laugh: the one thing I haven't had since I started my journey. Just the other side of Berkshire from you in Oxfordshire, Andy oh go on I will still send one :happy:

[/quote] It is a bit true. I consider myself pretty overweight compared to most people I know, and I'm 156 pounds. We're definitely getting fatter as a nation though, as we get more McDonalds and KFC and Dunkin bloomin Donuts :angry: [/quote] Zoe You should be more concerned about the increases in Krispy Kreme doughnut…

I can't see the one that are in the post, but you profile picture shows a lot of hard work has been done. I am just finding those boney structures under my moobs :laugh: it's been a long time since I saw them. Congratulations on your success and good luck with any future progress. Andy

I rotate shifts on a 3 week rota, 06:00-14:00, 14:00-22:00 and 22:00-06:00. What I do on the week I am on nights is to log my food overnight as lunch as I will/should be asleep at lunchtime, then have a cereal breakfast before bed. I have found these weeks I can actually lose more weight than on the other 2 weeks, I will…

I have just done a goggle search as I had never heard of it before and found this http://www.holmselect.co.uk/squash they sell and deliver it but you need to buy 10 Kgs at a time. They say it can be stored for 6 weeks in a cool place, not sure if you can freeze it or you can go through 10 Kgs in that tima. Andy

Hi Anya I was reading a post this morning "when will my brain catch up with my weight loss" it was covering everything from still reaching for old size clothes when shopping to still seeing yourself as the larger version of themselves. Someone there said that it can take up to 2 years to get that thought process in place.…

As you have just started then the first week will give a larger jump than what you can expect all the time. Also you have added extra exercises to your weekly programme, this might increase water retention which will reduce weight loss. As Debs said, a loss of any kind is a good week, a gain is a bad week. Good luck with…

Morning Steven I believe the rule of thumb is that it takes 3500 calories to gain a lb in weight, so if you are set to lose 1lb a week then your calorie goal will have a 500 calorie deficit (500 x 7 = 3500). So if you are set for 2 lbs a week then it's a 1000 calorie deficit, the easy way to see what your deficit is, just…

I am currently in a stop due to shoulder surgery, for the first week I was eating to my calorie goal then suddenly thought my setting was for slightly active but I wasn't, so changed my setting to sedentary. Just checked the scales and I seem to be about 4 lbs down on the week, but as I only use the bathroom scales every…

You probably can buy as many 16 oz drinks as you like you just have to carry the extra cups :laugh: Andy

Bump for later

Good job so far and good luck for the rest of your journey. I like the idea of a ticker with 24 hour weight loss and maybe a grand total of the site so far, I understand the other users using it for maintenance/muscle building, which I am aiming to be in the future. I started here after losing 10lbs of eating as I used to…

MARS bars are advertised here in the UK or used to be "helps you work, rest and play". Another part that was broadcast yesterday on the BBC is that "they have reduced the saturated fats in the MARS bar so by deep frying it reduces the benefits of that". I guess they are trying to improve it's healthy image :laugh: :laugh:…

Congratulations on your loss, my next mini goal is to leave one-derland that is Kgs :laugh: then I am targeting getting back into one-derland :smile: Andy

I would say that using them in combination will do you more good than harm. I have used them together along with a stationary bike which combined with calorie control has resulted in the loss below :happy: Andy

As the above poster said find what works for you, there is no fixed route as all our bodies are different. I started by using my exercise calories but after about 5 months I went into very slow weight loss, so I started leaving the exercise calories on the table and the scale started moving again. When I slow down again…

In the UK you would be arrested for carrying, well if you are a law abiding citizen anyway. Andy

Excuse me but there is no such thing as an average woman, you are all unique and as difficult as h**l to please :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Andy

Well Amber is a nice name but if you want to change your name to Curvy go for it, there are stranger names out there :laugh: :laugh: Andy

When consumed, capsaicinoids bind with pain receptors in the mouth and throat that are responsible for sensing heat. Once activated by the capsaicinoids, these receptors send a message to the brain that the person has consumed something hot. The brain responds to the burning sensation by raising the heart rate, increasing…

In no particular order Cote de Pablo (mischievous eyes) Rachel Bilson (sweet innocent look) Dana Delany (mature and sultry) Grace Park (hot in a bikini) Daniela Ruah (long hair and long legs)

She is a cute little thing, a nice flash in her eye I think Star would be a good name for her. :happy:

Hi Lorna How do you calculate the calories burned for you gym sessions? If you are using the MFP database it might be an over estimate thus you are still having a deficit but not as much as you need to lose the 2 lb a week. I notice that you are not far from your goal weight in relative terms, so maybe changing your goal…

Two questions, what machines are at the gym for you to use? Also how long are your Zumba sessions and walking/jogging on the treadmill? I spend 30 minutes on the treadmill (walking), 20 minutes on Elliptical or bike (one per session) and about 10 minutes on a rower doing 2000 - 2500 Mtrs, I'm at the gym 3-4 times a week. I…

Can I be added to the Challenge, failed in August to minor surgery on my shoulder on Friday which will keep me out of the gym for at least a week so only 70 Miles for this month. Andy

10.62 Miles done today August 29th Andy

My head telling my lazy butt to get in gear and go to the gym :laugh: Andy
