Hi all, I'm Sarah and I live in Gateshead in the UK. I'm 35 and married with 2 stepchildren. I've been on MFP for 4 years, but only had success relatively recently with a personal trainer and a clean/paleo type diet. I'm now at the point of getting rid of the last 15lb (lost 30 so far), but I have been gaining and losing…

having a similar issue - MFP not picking up calories burned through fitbit...or it picks them up, then loses them again. so yesterday, I went from a 1000 calorie adjustment (workout, walking, moving boxes) to 0! hoping this isn't permanent as half the advantage of syncing fitbit with MFP is so that I don't have to track…

Hi Jamie, It might be worth checking out the goals tab on the spreadsheet (see "spreadsheet for results" thread) to help you set some healthy goals each week. I try(!) to focus on healthy habits rather than the scales as those damned things have a mind of their own sometimes...! Good luck! S x

Jerky? I sometimes make mini turkey meatballs to have as a snack, or I'll have some cooked chicken (n.b. a lot of shop bought cooked chicken is full of sugars - check the ingredients!)

I've set up a goals tab on the spreadsheet now so we can set our own targets for the week...

Since my list never made it to Santa, I shouldn't be surprised that I didn't get any of it! However, I did get a bargain set of new weights + barbell & dumbbell bars for £25 on New Years Day - that'll keep me busy!

Hi, I did introduce myself on another thread, but it seems to have gone... I'm Sarah, 34, living in Gateshead in the UK. I've been on the weight loss journey since I was a teenager (I would LOVE to be as "fat" as I thought I was at 16...!) but it was only in October 2014 (when I almost got to my heaviest ever) that it…

Presents: - New weightlifting gloves (purchased for me by my Secret Santa...yay!) - 14kg kettlebell - Decent exercise mat that acts as padding and doesn't get wrecked if I'm wearing my trainers! Goals: - Sub-2hour half marathon - Reach goal weight of 64kg (ish...) - Complete 60s mountain climbers without wanting to cry or…

Some great ideas, thank you everyone. :* I agree with amyrllin1 on the sports gels - so many of them make me want to throw up! Have a bottle of coconut water in the fridge ready for when I start upping the distances...

thanks - it was more the processed, luminous coloured sports drinks and gels that I wanted to avoid! :D

Quick snack: rice cakes + almond butter & apple slices or nak'd bars (range of natural bars based on dates and nuts)

It sounds like you have received a lot of conflicting advice regarding weight loss! my advice to you would be to monitor what you eat, when and how you feel (e.g. sleepy/hungry /alert) and this should help you find the best diet plan. In this group, you will find a lot of support for eating real food, like meat, good fats…

Yep, with you there. Have been clean eating for 6 months and have drastically reduced the hunger mood swings! Plus I have no control and would rather work on the principle that I can't eat junk most of the time instead of attempting to fit it into my daily allowance. I have a once a week cheat when I eat things like pizza…

On my shopping list every week: Eggs Avocado spinach Kale Asparagus courgettes peppers Olives Beef mince Macadamias Almond butter Rice cakes chicken bacon Goat cheese Rice I don't tend to pre log as I like some flexibility in case I change my mind!

Mostly clean eater here with treats on a Sunday (and sometimes Wednesday...!) My diary for February is pretty dire but I'm firmly back on the wagon now. :smile:

Yes, thanks I do...but simply cutting calories out of my previously dodgy diet did not work for me (that's just me....I appreciate it works fantastically for hundreds of other members) -I tended to get hungry and grouchy. Hence getting some help with the types of food I eat to lose weight without the dreaded hanger…

Thanks everyone - I spoke to the trainer today and she did say that once I start ramping the miles up in the new year, more carbs would be added. I'm trying to lose weight at the moment so the diet is focussed on that. However, I am feeling a lot better for ditching sugar in particular, hence wanting to find new strategies…
