Hi there, I'm a mum of two beautiful boys in Brisbane. a 3 year old and a 6 month old. I've been a MFP member since 2010 and have lost weight both the wrong way and the right way. I am now just under 2 kg away from maintenance, and love to make friends with likeminded people who eat to lose weight and eat clean. (I try to…

I'm 136.5 lb currently and am aiming to be between 127 and 132, Although I don't mind if I stay at this weight as I fit into all my old clothes again and feel pretty ok in them. I'm 5'6.5 and fit into Australian sizes 8-10 (4-6 us I think)

if I were to ever be married, I would prefer to elope. I cant be bothered with the ceremony and all that crap. I've been with my partner since for 12 years, we have 2 kids, a dog and a couple of houses together. you cant get much more married than that. We just don't have that bit of paper that says so. I know my family…

Hello! I'm in Brisbane. I eat clean 95% of the time and accept everyone's requests. Though I prefer likeminded people who share similar diaries so I can get ideas too! I am currently a stay at home mum with 2 beautiful boys. one 3.5 years and the other 5 months. I offer support and I'm on here every day and appreciate…

mines open to public and I eat clean. I would love to help anyone on their weightloss journey. I have lost 22kg before the wrong way (for me) and now I'm back to doing it the right way (for me) and love to provide comfort and support to my new friends on MFP. Please feel free to add me.

I haven't read all the replies but my number one concern is that you are not eating enough. And I bet you are also not spacing your meals out to keep your metabolism in the fat burning zone. My recommendation for you is to: 1. Make sure you eat a good breakfast of whole grains and protein 2. Healthy snacks of fruit, nuts,…

if you've got a daily nety calorie intake of 0 you are starving yourself. Your body requires a minimum caloric intake to function and if you are exercising that minimum away, you need to eat more food to replace it. make good food choices and you can't damage your body by "eating too much" like I can see you are worried…

its necessary to eat more than 1200 calories in a day because if you eat less than this, your body goes into starvation mode and begins to store fat instead of burning it. Have a look at the BMR calculator on MFP to gauge how much you should actually be eating simply to stay alive. I wouldn't recommend going below this…

If he's in shape already, perhaps encourage him to do some research on body building. My SO loves that stuff and has been eating clean for a while now. I am also aware that as a 6'5" man and 113kg his dietary needs are much much more than mine. For a man that size you're looking at eating over 2500 calories a day at least!…

oh dear! My motivation was the results I was getting from eating so well. Aside from making me feel amazing the numbers dropping on the scale were proof in the pudding (bad pun I know lol) and made me want to do it again! I have tried a few diets, the last of which was the Body Trim diet and I found that I was hungry most…

Hi darling. I had the exact same problem - post birth my stomach, legs, bum and hips and boobs were striped with those god awful stretchmarks. I had thought the same thing. Pre pregnancy I prided myself in having a toned belly. Post pregnancy I thought - I will never wear a bikini again! After having lost 19 kg (41lb) i…

@cbirdso - you're right. Hunger back in the caveman days was meant to tell us it was time to start searching for food - not to eat right then and there! We are so used to the convenience of the fridge in modern times that we forget what it's like to feel hungry. but, in applying this to weightloss - hunger is obviously…
-
they say to try NOT to eat back the energy you've burned. My day consists of a fair bit of excersise and so I "gain" extra calories, but I still like to keep my diet restricted to 1200 or, at least no more than 1400. In that way I lost about 1kg (or 2 lb) a week. therefore the deficit is there and you are "in the green".…

welcome!! you will see great results if you use MFP right - enter in all your foods correctly, weigh them - and follow it RELIGIOUSLY. I follow 1200calories per day which initially I thought wasnt much - but now, i struggle to get there - i think - "right i still have 200 more to go - what can i eat?!" it is so easy as it…

Wow thanks everyone! Thats so nice of you all :smile: I thought I might add - my sister used to be the one checking in on me making sure I was exercising every day - but yesterday she wrote me an email saying I inspired her to go to the gym too! She's not overweight, but my journey to pre-pregnancy weight has encouraged…
