  • I have 75 pounds to lose. Please add me.
  • I've found MFP really useful. When you become aware of everything you eat you can plan and chance patterns. With a daily diary you take it a day at a time so if you have a bad day you wake up with a clean slate able to do better. Good Luck.
  • I'm always over in my fats and protein but the fats are good fats - whole eggs, nuts, avocado, olive oil etc. I'm taking a whole foods/organic approach. I still have full fat milk, yoghurt, cheese and butter but very little processed food and very little sugar outside of it's natural state and I'm losing weight. Staying…

  • Fruit in it's natural form is great for you and won't make you gain weight unless you are over eating it, much like anything. Fructose is only a weight gainer when you remove it from it's natural state ( ie juice) when fructose is extracted from it's whole food state the body turns it straight to sugar. So keep eating…
  • I agree that removing entire food groups isn't good. I eat them all but as a whole foods - brown rice, spelt pasta and fats in the form of avocado, eggs etc and sweet potato instead of the regular ones. I'm trying to eat healthy as much as I am lose weight.

And maybe a boiled egg as well.
  • this is a good TDEE counter http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/
  • easily done over 12-18 months, well that's what I'm hoping for too.
  • I've lost 9kgs and am still waiting to lose some boob, double E sucks!
  • I use to love potato but really it was just a delivery system for salt and butter. To be honest I don't miss it or cheese and that was a huge snack favorite, though I have kept cottage cheese and parmesan. I generally eat at home though I do work for a few restaurants and just keep the food choices healthy. I am hoping…
  • I'm also from Melbourne, whilst my I'm not doing anything like the amount of exercise you are (yet) I'm sticking to a whole food organic diet, cutting all sugar unless its fructose in whole fruit.
