  • I've been doing zumba 1-2 times a week since january, along with using MFP to track my calories, and I've lost 14 lb in 13 weeks! (I put on 2 and lost them again) It's a great, sociable way to get fit - the weight loss just seems to be a cheeky bonus. Go on, give it a go!

  • I walk to work briskly 4 times a day (to and from) and developed a really painful tight pain in one or both shins. The doctor confirmed that as the pain wasn't constant, and often faded away shortly after I stopped walking, that it wasn't shin splits, but that I should invest in some better insoles, which supported my…

  • I reaaallly wanted to eat it all in one go. So I said "ok, go on then - but have a nice hot cup of tea first" and because I wasn't denying myself (and once I'd had the tea) suddenly, the idea of eating it all wasn't such a good idea. I guess I was just fighting a dieting demon, and not a genuine chocolate craving!

  • Hello! I know how you feel - I've been doing this for 5 weeks, and for the first time I'm making a real effort to dieting AND exercise. This week has just been an uphill struggle just to stay motivated to do anything - logging food, going to exercise - ANYTHING! I've lost 10lbs, but am still a long way from finishing.…

  • FOOOOD! Any food! I've been so hungry lately! I always fill up on veggies or protein at every meal, but when I get to the evening meal, I practically inhale it! So glad I save my calories for exactly this reason.

  • Definately agree with this. There are times when you will be getting thinner, but it may not register much on the scales.

  • Hello! Congrats on your weight loss! I am also on the implant (Implanon). On the website, they say that some users have noticed that it has led to an increase or inability to lose weight - but it could be argued that this is due to the hormonal changes from having the implant, not the implant itself. My nurse swears blind…
