  • Oh yeah - advice-take everything a step at a time. My first piece of advice is to cut out ALL the sweets. Yup - go cold turkey-ice cream, brownies, cookies...just stop. You'd be amazed what a difference that'll make in your weight in one week. Once you've accomplished that, cut out ALL processed/prepackaged food. They are…

  • Welcome Jemma! I too had 2 kids in less than 2 years and I understand the "ouch" of that!!! It is hard to balance everything but MFP does work if you stick with it (there will be good days and bad days) and are honest with it. It will also be a work in progress as I've altered my eating habits several times over the last…

  • I agree with MinnieInMaine whole heartedly! It's like cutting carbs out of your diet completely to lose weight.

However, if it is your goal to avoid…

  • I found the same thing yesterday. I have MFP set for 1lb/week and my caloric intake should be 1600. I can NEVER obtain that #. I've cleaned up by diet 100% and still cannot even come close to that # without putting something else through the roof (or giving up taste). My average caloric intake is 1200 which some say is too…

  • I've been told by several trainers that you should try to achieve you weight in protein consumption daily. For example, if you weight 180lbs you should aim for 180g of protein. I'm sure there are other school of thoughts out there but just thought I'd pass this info along. My DR protein is 60g but I eat a minimum of 100g…
