Hi, I'm Emily I log in daily. Feel free to add is you ant someone to help keep you motivated or just chat to occasionally!

I'm from London, and I log in daily. Always up for a chat and sharing support so feel free to add =]

Just out of interest, I want to know where you see the intention to lose more weight is in my post? I am fully intending to add calories, and I know for a fact (without using the calculaor, but by rough adding in my head) that I've eaten well over 1500 calories today. And fine, I know that is still a deficit, but it's much…

That's my thinking. I do well with goals and plans etc. So this is my plan and my goal is to not weigh at all for three weeks, and then when I weigh in 3 weeks time, I aim for my weight to be the same (with a little lee-way) If I have been doing well and feel good but there is a loss, then I will up my eating. If there is…

As I'm trying not to count calories I haven't set a goal and I'm really trying to not even look at calorie contents on packaging, but probably somewhere around 1800/1900 cals, if thats to low I will adjuct again, but as I said, I'm trying to to count. I adore marmite, I could eat it off the spoon. I'm actually saving a…

I'm posting as something of an update, rather than go through and reply to every comment. All day yesterday and into the evening I had a long and in-depth conversation with another member who has dealt with similar issues. She was incredible useful and I am so grateful. I'm not going to go into detail, but I will say that…

No, of course not, I know I need to at least double that (well double and more) to maintain - all I was saying is that I've decided to take a break from logging, as of yesterday evening, but I had already pre-logged today and the next few days before I made the decision to change, so although they say 800 cals, it's not…

I agree with a lot of what you've said here (well all of it) except for the pasta thing - I've never EVER eaten much pasta and this is pretty much the serving I would have eaten my entire life - eating more would be abnormal for me, not in terms of my dieting, but I just find pasta very VERY filling, and always have... But…

I admit and know that 800 cals a day is too low, but after a very long conversation with a member of the site last night I have made changes and intend to work on maintaing t the moment - you can all tell me I'm still too low but I need to maintain for a while before I can consider gaining...if I tried to gain now I'd lose…

Thank you, this has been the most useful - it's nice to know that I'm not just out of my mind - as you can relate but that there are atill issues I need to work on. Thanks for the support, I'm not sure about concelling, I've never been much of a talker and I'm not entirely sure it would work, but I'm glad to know that…

At the moment a little because of the perceived massive gain, but normally not. when I was between 101-110lbs I wasn't stresed or sad about it at all...just eager to keep losing and very very very controllimng about what I ate etc.

No you're right, just reading it I see the stupidity of it...I guess it just feels like a lot of food, because it's all so clean (or low fat) so I have lots of things without actually eating as much as I think...

God I know. I just looked back and I'm just making excuses or denying things. I apologise, I know you are all actually trying to help or you wouldn't bother. Like I said, I don't know what i was looking to achieve here and I guess I'm not being very open to help at all. I guess I was secretly hoping for some magical oracle…

I do keep meaning to try again (I do play a lot of tennis in the summer) but at the moment, very busy - I have 3 part time classes I take several times a week, I have an internshipe for 3 days a week and a part time job for 2 days a week, so I have very little free time, and an odd schedule - I don't just do 9-5, I often…

It's not that I'm looking for something to be wrong...I would be trilled if there wasn't. But the rational, logical part of me (which normally rules most areas of my life) is saying that something isn't quite right here...it may not (I hope it's not) an eating disorder but I'm constantly looking at girlfriends, other women…

Yeah the last few days (although tues and Wed I planned but didn't follow, just ate a bunch of other stuff, wrnt out etc) are a classic example of my 'back on the diet' method - 3/4 days of low cal to begin with before upping to 1200 for a few days/weeks depending on weight to lose and then 100cals extra a week until I…

Thanks for reply, but to be honest, not helpful. I know the numbers, I know I'm at a healthy weight range and as easy as it is to say (or type) to just stop categorising myself as fat or thin is much more difficult than it would seem. But I don't know what I was hoping for by posting here...it was an impulse I guess.

Yeah, I'm really trying to not obsess and have a bad attitude about all this; and for the last few weeks I have been totally fine and wasn't obsessing about the scale or intake of food much at all, but ever since it occurred to me that I might actually still be damaging my metabolism by undereating I've started obsessing…

Ok thanks that was really helpful actually, although I had no luck with the spreadsheet as it completely blew my mind and I have no spreadsheet software on my computer! I like the 2 week test idea, but my question is, if I gain a whole bunch of water weight, will that mean I bloat? Because although I know I am…

Hi I'm very new, not just to this group but to MFP. I did the Dukan diet for six weeks, reaching 120lbs (ish, it fluctuated a lot between 117 - 122 lbs) on November 5th. Ever since then I have been trying to build up my diet, adding more calories and a variety of foods to stabalise my weight and adjust to normal food…
