I haven't necessarily kept my weight loss a secret but I also haven't been announcing it to the world. For me, this is my journey and I guess only I really need to know. I also felt that by not telling everyone, I wasn't putting myself under undue pressure. Needless to say I have lost 15kg (33lb) so far and feel great.…

Keep going, I'm on day 16 and it really does get better. I've had days, even in level I when I thought I couldn't go on but I am, and I feel so much better for it. Thought I'd die when I started level 2 but again its getting better. I do have days where I'm sore but the next day I feel better. And to be fair what's also…

Hey, I know how easy it can be to go overboard on the weekend. Have you tried planning your meals for the week/weekend? I know that helps with me...If you've planned and brought what you;re going to make at the weekend, its harder to eat other things instead. Hope this helps. Also, have you thought of upping your calories…

Hey Natasha, I agree with the last post. We're not on a diet, it's about making healthy choices which are good for us in the long term. Exercise is also the key. I've only been on here for 3 weeks and have lost every week so far, hoping for another loss on monday. MFP is fab, log in every day, track what you eat, its…

I use this too, its a great tool

Hi Katelyn, Welcome to mfp, I'm new to the site myself, only joining this month but I have to say so far its keeping me motivated. I love the way you can track your food and exercise and it tells you on a daily basis what you will be in 5 weeks if you keep it up. Here's hoping. I also hadn't been on the scales for awhile…

I lost weight when i went through my divorc,e so when I met my new partner (also online) i was at my lowest weight. 2 years on with my partner,we are now living together and engaged to be married. I have also put back on all what i lost and more. Put it this way, not everything is about appearance, its actually…

Hey there, Congrats on the weight loss. Its week 2 for me. I was a bit like you, my weight has crept up over the past two years through alcohol and the fact that my new partner and I love to cook. My problem is i am 5ft 4' weigh 220lbs looking to get down to 154lbs. MFP has only given me 1290 cals per day and for me it…
