I have noticed quite a lot of people on here have protein drinks to increase their protein intake or have peanut butter. For me I think there is too much fat in peanut butter to class it as a 'protein rich' food

Try drinking more water Change your diary settings to show fibre, sodium and sugar, processed food contains alot of sodium which equals water retention. Try going for a breakfast cereal which has a higher fibre content Don't eat back all your exercise calories, trying eating half of them back. I find MFP tends to over…

Hi I'm in Halifax, West Yorkshire and I would like to lose 32lbs I have been on here since April and I think the site is great. I will send you a friend request Anyone else feel free to add me as a friend :)

Hi, my name is Emma and I'm from Halifax, West Yorkshire. Feel free to add me as a friend and anyone else for that matter. Good luck with your weight loss journey :)

Wow, excellent logging :)

I lost 60lbs up to June last year and regained 18lbs after my marriage ended at that time and I stopped exercising (struggled to get to the gym being a single parent) so now I am here trying to lose my next 28lbs. Good Luck and I'll send you a friend request

Hi Ed, you are a true inspiration. I admire your courage and determination to start your weight loss journey and follow it through to the end. Well done :)

Sorry I have only just seen this post but I am in. Starting it tonight - 6th June. So just a few days later than the rest of you

I am hoping to start 30DS tonight, I have had the dvd for just over a week now and must stop putting it off, the house work can wait. After reading everyones results it gives me the incentive to start. I really need to tone up and lose some inches Good luck everyone who is still doing it and well done to those who have…

I am hoping to start 30 Day Shred tonight. It arrived a week ago and still not got around to it but must stop putting it off. I did do 50 minutes cross trainer this morning so I am starting the day well

Mine would be Lady Miriam Meadow Clegg. Lady Miriam is fine though :)

4 days of no work, yaaaaaaay. I have a fairly busy weekend so best try and be good the times when I am not out and about. Saturday night - off to Doncaster to the dog track Sunday evening - BBQ and curry night at my friends house warming party Monday afternoon - Jubilee Party on the Pitch in my brothers village where they…

My dvd arrived on Monday but not done it yet. I must stop putting it off and do it tomorrow. Only time I get is around 6.30 in the morning

oh and i am 5 foot 8

Hi, I'm 37, 38 next month and weigh 210lbs (15 stone) and a size 16. I would like to get down to 13 stone and size 14. My starting weight was 254lbs (18stone 2lbs) and a size 20/22. Good luck to everyone with their weight loss :)

BUMP

I'm frustrated at the moment. I joined MFP 6 weeks ago and had already lost 40lbs. In week 1 - 4lbs, week 2 - 3lbs weeks 3 + 2lbs week 4 + 2lbs week 5 - 4lbs week 6 (official weigh in day tomorrow) I have gained 4lbs. Between week 4 and 5 I had a cold so didn't really exercise or drink as much water but this week its been…

Thanks for sharing I am going to pin this to my fridge door

Hi my name is Emma, I am 37 from Halifax in the UK. I am a single parent to my two lovely children Mollie and Harrison (8 and 4). My weight loss journey started in August 2010 when I joined Slimming World by May 2011 I lost 60lbs around this time my marriage ended. I couldn't get to the gym either and I had regained 19lbs…

I eat cereal, either Weetabix Crunchy Bran or All Bran Golden Crunch with fat free natural yogurt, strawberries and blueberries :)

I don't like #2, I like #4 but looks more like a dress you would wear for a job interview rather than your brothers wedding. so I would go for #1 or #3. #3 would look great with some heels and accessorize it with one of the colours from the dress.

Did you by a second hand one?

Definately post some before and after pictures as I love looking at everyone elses, they are so inspiring. Other than that I have no idea :)

Hi and thanks for that. It makes sense too. I weighed myself yesterday morning and after 1 pint of water later (nothing to eat) I weighed 1.2lbs more.

Thanks for that. All good advice :)

I am 5'8" tall and currently weigh 210lbs so my BMR is around 1700 calories, if I apply the Harris Benedict formula to a sedentary lifestyle it gives me a maintenance calorie goal of 2040. To lose 1.5lbs a week I need to deduct 750 calories from that to give a new calorie goal of 1290. I will then eat back any exercise…

What did you mean by this?

I am so bad for weighing myself everyday and I know I shouldn't because I don't like what the scales say. A week last Sunday I went for a 15 mile walk and I weighed myself that evening and then when I weighed myself the following morning I had gained 2.5lbs (normally I weigh less in a morning not 2.5lbs heavier). Another…

This is all too technical for me, yesterday I ate just over 1300 calories and this morning I weigh 1.2lbs heavier than I did yesterday morning. So to say you need to eat an extra 3500 to gain a lb doesn't make sense

I usually have Weetabix Crunchy Bran, Natural Fat Free Yogurt and Strawberries but before that I have one pint of water
