Thank you all, this is great and so helpful!!! I do a vinyasa flow class once a week (1 hour so @robininfl, I might try a calorie burn a bit lower than yours), and also practice at home a few times a week. Trying to take exercise one step at a time, because if I do too much, I invariably quit (years of practice...), so…

Thank you - that is helpful! : )

I can massively relate to this - I'm not new to MFP either, and had lost a tonne of weight over the last few years. I got really ill at teh end of last year and was on steroids for about 6 months and have gained aboout 10kg back, and am now on the long process of losing that weight again. It's hard, but worth it to feel…

It's not easy for me to get protein powder where I live :(, but these are some great tips. I am definitely not vegetarian, but I can't afford to eat a lot of meat. I had an entire meal yesterday based off a chickpea curry (thought it would be high in protein), but I find I am still so far off my protein goals. I've taken…

Would love some assistance on this too! My goal is set to 1300 at the moment, and mostly eating around that (sometimes going above with exercise) - I live in a country where it's difficult to get prepackaged food that is at all healthy, so I generally try to cook most things fresh, but that does get tiring sometimes! Only…

You could bake them in a sweet chilli sauce (homemade) - use garlic, chilli (sauce or powder), a little bit of honey, and a little bit of olive oil and then just serve them with some baked veg, really delicious

Great ideas! Any more? One of my favourite quick eats is stirfry too :), because you can really vary the sauces and spices. Some other options off the top of my head: 1. Baked chicken breast with baked veg - requires very little prep - if you want to, you can briefly marinate the chicken in things like yoghurt/garlic or a…

A meal I have recently made loads and love is cous cous with veggies in a tomato-based sauce. Any veggies will do but I usually use broccoli, courgette, carrots, mushroom and fresh chillies (onion and garlic too for more flavour) in chopped tomatoes or a readymade pasta sauce with salt/pepper/oregano and lots of lime when…

As someone who's just started trying to lose weight, I'm only just getting my head around the BMR/TDEE concept! I've only ever lost weight before my cutting my calories (and it's no wonder I eventually over time put it back on). I'm 5'5, 167 lb and my goal is 143 at the moment, and might change based on how I feel/look. I…

I've always had the same issue - my weight has yo-yo'd a bit, and I am currently at the heaviest I've been in a while, which is always disappointing. Definitely could use the advice too! I really like your goals - I feel like I should do something similar to help keep myself on track and have something to look forward to!!…

I've been worried about the same thing, and just wanted to come in here too (not to hijack!) - thought it might make more sense to add it in here than make a new thread. I was on MFP for ages last year and definitely lost weight doing it but then got uber busy with exams/uni and completely stopped. I've gained a bunch of…
