Hey everyone 😊 I'm not new as such but I've only just started using mfp properly and am now on around 60 days of logging. I'd love to meet new people to help us to stay motivated 😊

Hey 😊 another fellow brit here 🙋‍♀️

Heya, yeah theres nothnig like a major health scare to force you into addressing stuff! I'm feeling so fed up of sitting round but a small trip to the supermarket even with my dad who I am staying with for a few days wore me out this morning so sitting around at home it is. I had another small achievement yesterday, I…

Hi, I've been trying to reduce the amount of sugar in my diet and have become quite fond of oatcakes and/or savoury popcorn in the evenings, it tends to cause less cravings and I am less likely to go on a sugar binge which is something I have problems with from time to time. The peanut butter idea is good too but until…

Hi tobehappy07, I'm not sure I can really offer advice as such because I am in the exact same position as you right now, I wont go into numbers too much as it doesn't help but suffice to say I'm very much in need of gaining more than 20lbs as my health is suffering yet I am so scared of becoming 'fat' its a constant…

Thanks again for your reply, sorry for the delay in responding, I've been at the hospital today, my lung collapsed on Sunday, a result of my current weight. I guess it's the health issues that our eating issues cause us that should help us move forward and motivate us in keeping up with recovery. Maybe we can try and…

Hi, I haven't really got anything to add to this thread but as a recovering anorexic I have found it hugely motivational in making me realise why I need to eat more and keep up with my recovery, its far too easy to think I'm happy as I am, changing is too hard and will make me unhappy but reading this has made me feel…

Thanks JessMonster84, I'll get there in the end, I think I'm already a lot better than I was a few years ago, I had 3 years of outpatient treatment which ended in 2009, since then I've been doing a lot better but over the last 12 months without meaning to my weight has dropped again, I think I thought I was more recovered…

Thank you Ninerbuff, that I think is more something I could manage, from the meal plans I read it felt like unless I could manage 3 full meals I was failing, small amounts every 4 hours plus my usual tea and supper is definately doable and I have just got myself a big bunch of grapes from the fridge to eat now which though…

Heya, thanks TavistockToad, I am seeing the doctor and am waiting for an appointment at a specialist clinic, I'm just trying to sort myself out a bit while waiting. Its already been 4 months of waiting. I did try the build up/complan shakes for a while but they are really high in sugar. Maybe I'm not in the right place,…

Heya, thanks Mhairi, I love your name by the way, I've always wished I had a name that wasn't shared by quite so many others! Lol. I'm enjoying looking round the site, my only main worry so far is that now I'm bored being stuck at home so I've got the time to properly focus on this but once I'm back at work ill be finding…
