Hello :smiley: January targets - to lose 5lb and to not eat any more puddings. Not to be stupid and skip meals, and to look after myself better.

Joined because my wife was not eating enough. So we both joined for mutual encouragement. Been 1400 days today without a break.

Could be different causes. Best have a word with Doctor, get checked out. In the U.K. there is a lot of Labyrinchitis going around caused by a virus. This affects the inner ear balance and can cause symptoms from mild dizziness, balance problems, eyes not focusing straight away when changing from vertical to horizontal…

Agree with members above. Weighing daily will cause you to see fluctuations of up and down. Water, waste, etc. is the cause. I always weigh in the morning, night time weighing is always heavier by a pound or two.

Can you really have it both ways all the time? If you have reached your calorie intake and feel hungry sometimes then perhaps you might be losing weight?!

Always had a good breakfast all my life. My Father believed in it and as a long distance driver found it invaluable. You good go miles on a good breakfast. Nothing too drastic though. Mine usually consists of Rasher Bacon, Egg, Tomato(s) and sometimes Mushrooms. 1 or 2 slices of toast. One with the breakfast and one with…

Sounds good. Remember you are exercising too so that is producing muscle (good thing) and so you will see a difference if you keep up the good work.

Fish. I large tank with 10 in and 3 breeding tanks with goodness knows how many in. Been a fish person for over 45 years.

Hi, I'm Ted, aged 69, retired. From the U.K. I can spell and write properly.

Erm, Never. Great looker that woman.

You look great. Get it on and get out there. So, your a Mum, so what.

Happy Birthday!! Well done Joy, proud of you and you look great. - Dad.

Double yolks are usually from young hens and the yolks slightly smaller. Log it the same and regard it as a lucky bonus.

Try a new goal setting for calories and try to eat them. Not eating enough will force your body to hold on to what you have. Exercise too is a deceiver as muscle weights more than fat. So you might be fitter muscle wise but not be losing anything. I think your calories should be a bit higher than 1200 and try to eat at…

Sounds like you are doing the right things. Your body does plateau for a while as it gets used to the weight/fat changes. Don't despair it will happen. I do wonder if you are eating enough though. Do you get naughty notices quite a lot? If so eat back some of those extra burnt off calories.

Welcome to MFP if you stick to it you WILL loose weight. Taking it over a year and gradually, setting yourself realistic goals you will find your skin will shrink with your weight loss and you will look good. My daughter (48 yrs.) on here too, has lost 50lb in 10 months and looks great.

Best car I've ever driven was a BMW M5-Sport. 297bhp and went like a bat out of hell and yet could be so sedate. Best 80,000 miles of motoring ever. Would have another one ANYTIME.

Don't just give up! That is not how to beat it. Sedentary work is not good for weight loss. But persevere it will start to shift.

I don't count olive oil either. I expect your body is trying to hang on to fat. Give it time and eat sensibly. String out your calorie intake over three main meals if you can. And keep note of any snacking. Try not to get any "naughty" notices if you do you are not easting enough.

My must haves are: Eggs Bacon Plenty of Fruit Plenty of Fresh Veg Milk Cheese Yoghurt Different stock cubes.

Excellent news Joy.

Had a look at your diary. You say you are exercising and muscle weighs more than fat so, you may be losing body fat but you are replacing it with toned muscle. That doesn't mean you have to stop exercise but it will mean yo have to be more patient if you want to see the pounds come off. I see you are eating mostly in large…

So sorry about the gifts and the treatment, but a good response!

If you take this sort of thing to heart you will begin to believe it and that is not good for you. Walk away from such accusations and believe in yourself. You have a job, getting qualifications, wanting to stand on your own two feet. Don't let their negativity and hatred take over your life. Think and act positive, I can…
