Great advice, I’ll definitely take this on board!

Thank you for such a detailed explanation! My figures are from the body fat scales. As I mentioned in one reply, I am recovering from an accident so I’m aware that some of the weight could be swelling around joints etc as the bruising is just coming to the surface. I didn’t weigh before the accident so I don’t have a…

Thanks guys for the advice. I’ll try to be mindful of perhaps the quality of the calories rather than just the numbers. Just to add, I do have a quite a bit to lose..I’m 160lbs, some 28lbs+ over the healthy weight but I guess the problem is that my body fat is at 38%! So moving more as soon as I can will help with toning…

Thanks for the tips! I did use the calculator suggested and it also came up with a BMR of 1332 but a TDEE of 1545, so that’s helpful to know. Also helpful to know people would interpret my confusion and question about the numbers as an argument for under eating. I’m not underweight or old but yes pretty sedentary at the…

Hi all. Returning to mfp again! This time I’ve had my gallbladder removed and I can’t eat properly yet but I’m only 3 weeks post op. I’m eating 4-5 snacks a day and hoping to lose weight healthily. Last time I lost weight too quickly and developed stones due to this :(

Please add me if you post and reply. :wink:

UK here too. ;)

Can vegans add me that actively comment/post? It'd be nice to get a response :)

I don't measure salad or veggie items accurately but other things I do.

Anything that reads like a science experiment.

Thank you :)

Open diary here, mainly Aldi although some oriental/asian additions from Tesco :)

I am waiting for diagnosis but on tablets to alleviate the vertigo symptoms (Betahistine). How do you manage to exercise around coping with Menieres?

Many thanks for the replies, I have decided that I should re-start on the classes tomorrow and hopefully I will get used to them as my fitness improves :D

Banana, to try to kid myself I'm being healthy, lol.

Thank you for the answers, its very useful to know :)

Wow, that must have taken quite a while to write...but it's clear that you are very dedicated to keeping informed about your health, all the best :smile:

Me too...I live in a house of boys who roll their eyes at the word 'calorie' lol, but also for the calorie counting and because most people are supportive on here :)

Don't worry, everyone has their own journey to go on. I know what you mean though, when you see posts about being sooo big at a size 2, it's baffling. The main thing to remember is that as you get closer to your goal, you will feel fantastic. :happy:

I log and comment :) Anyone can add me that is looking for an active user.

Hi, I'm in the UK too. I use USN Diet fuel. The strawberry one fills me up when I'm too busy for lunch, but the chocolate one doesn't seem to thicken enough.

I'm happy if I'm not over :wink:

Google aspartame and look at the research and scientific evidence. Make you own mind up.

Fruit tart

An older lady had her card rejected at the supermarket today for £2.78, which is around $4.59, and she looked so upset, I couldn't let her leave without her shopping, and such a small amount. So I paid. My good deed made me happy :)

When the waiter asks how the food is, when you have your mouth full. Timing people!

I will add you. I am not new on MFP, but rejoined recently and would like some friends that will interact with me and encourage me to stick to the plan. I went to a gym induction today and found that I have high blood pressure and a high resting heart rate at 33 - not good! Anyone else wanting support feel free to add me…
