I eat loads of chocolate for one day and follow that with a day of relaxed food and calories. The problem with this is that I am only maintaining! Before xmas I was only having one cheat day and kept to between 1200-1500 calories a day for the rest of the week with 4 days of hard work outs. I consistently lost 1lb a week…

You really can do this. I have lost 49lb since January last year, it was very slow to start and I consistently lost 1lb a week but I had support from a personal trainer who helped me to change my diet and basically I have changed my whole lifestyle! It doesn't happen over night but my god, 3 months down the line and 12lb…

I have a cheat weekend but that just helps me to maintain, not lose weight. By cheat day I mean I eat up to 2500 cals instead of 1300-1500 that I usually have to lose 2lb a week!before Xmas I was having one cheat day and 6 strict days and lost 1lb a week for nearly every week last year!

My PT introduced me to mfp back in April and has been monitoring what I eat ever since. I wouldn't have it any other way! I have lost a total of 49lb in the last year. Your clients should allow you to monitor and advise them on their diet otherwise they might as well throw their money away!!!

I am 5'8", 166lb and 23" thigh. When I was at my best I was 22" thigh and weighed 150lb!

I started losing weight for the last time at the beginning of 2012 and have lost 1lb a week (44lb) so far. My aim is to lose 56lb by…

I hope that by Feb - Mar next year I will have achieved what you have. Reading your story has just given me that extra bit of motivation to continue. I will be 52 in May next year and in the last 10 years I have yo yoed dieted from one stuff and starve diet to another, and yes I have lost weight and then put it back on…

I work out with a personal trainer approximately 3 times a week doing a mixture of crossfit, circuit and strengh training, and another 2 days a week purely cardio. I have a 1300 calorie allowance plus exercise. Most of the time I eat between 1200 and 1400 calories a day depending on whether I have been to the gym and what…

Hi Granniegal First of all well done on deciding to try mfp and using the support of others to help with your weight loss and getting fitter. Like you I could eat more or less what I liked until I met my hubby (at 40 years old) and then I gained 4 and a half stone in 4 years!! I then tried stuff and starve diets, cambridge…
