Hi not sure if you guys are still following the plan but was hoping to buddy up with someone. I am starting the 8 week blood sugar plan tomorrow (29th August). Any hints, tips and advice would be very welcome.

How absolutely awesome! You are fabulous :)

How amazing! You look fantastic :) Many congratulations on your engagement too :)

Made a start! :smiley:

I'm aiming for 120 miles

Wow! I think you look fabulous! Congratulations and I wish you nothing but health and happiness for the New Year :D

I remember when I first started on MFP I just logged everything without making any alterations to my diet for 2 weeks and was horrified! My 'healthy' nut salad was loaded with calories, my favourite breakfast of yogurt, fruit, oats & nuts could rack up in excess of 500 calories and on a Friday night (take-out and a couple…

Fitbit tells you an approximation of the total amount of calories burned in a day. MFP tells you a lower number because it deducts an amount of calories in order to create a deficit. If I subtract 20% from the total daily calories burned according to my Fitbit, I get pretty close to the goal MFP sets me. I would,…

Quite simply fabulous! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Fantastic! Well done :flowerforyou:

I take it you are not a teacher? I teach High School Math in the UK and, yes, teachers teach. They work long hours in (often) difficult circumstances for very little support from members of the public who have no idea what being a teacher entails. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Hi, had to abandon ship for now due to a stress fracture in my foot :( Good luck to you all!

This is also very important. While I hate to rain on anybody's parade, I walk 5 miles per day minimum, run 3 times per week and weigh/log everything I eat and drink. My calorie consumption is usually between 1500 and 1800 per day. I have been steadily gaining weight for the past 6 months.....

Hello again everybody, I just started Week 4 yesterday and it was sooooo hard. I am determined to keep at it and will do day 2 tomorrow but I think I may be stuck repeating this one for a while. I just couldn't manage 5 minutes straight. I am 'Power Walking' the hills as I can't avoid them and am struggling (as I said…

You look fantastic! I (on the other hand) am green with envy! :love: Congratulations

This ^^

I've decided to repeat Week 3 as I am finding it really tough. Has anyone got any tips on coping with hills? I live in the South Wales Valleys and no matter where I head several hills are involved and this is why I am struggling. Thanks.

I've just done Week 3 Day 1. I have been really enjoying it. Found today tough but, then again, I also started 30DS yesterday. Good luck everyone!!!

I've been here for almost 2 years and am also not seeing a loss. Brace yourself for a torrent of unhelpful advice but watch out for the helpful tips in between. Good luck!

MFP has me set at 1500 cals a day so that doesn't leave me much room to eat lots and lots of fat?
