Ive spent about 2 years trying to work out what calories I should lose at... I started at the recommended MFP calories (1700) for 3 months, and just gained - quickly! Couldnt understand how I could gain because calorie calculators state that for me to maintain my current weight (244lbs at the time) I would have to eat 2500…

I have been around 238 for about a year (240+ on a Monday / 235 on a Friday), and started losing (slowly) during the last 6 months. Im also 5'2 (closer to 5'1 really ;) ) Ive spent a lot of time fiddling with my calories, and I have found that I maintain at 1500 - gain at anything over 1500, and Ive been losing…

I use Libra just for this reason on my android phone....... It has seriously stopped my "F*&( its". I used to be "good" for a few days - then my weight would shoot up "out of nowhere!!", and I would be like "F*() it - Im gonna have this burger, this chocolate, this milkshake" Nowadays........ even if I put on a couple(few)…

Ive spent the last few years "forcing" myself to eat breakfast...... I stopped just before Christmas (when Intermittent Fasting got super popular, and many people started saying it didnt matter if you ate breakfast or not, as long as you stick within the nutritional guidelines (CICO etc). My weight finally started to lower…

I have just switched to black coffee for the same reasons.... I was "ignoring" my coffee milk as it was "just a splash" and skimmed- then realised I was buying a gallon every 10days or so! Thats 100 calories a day! Since giving up milk in my coffee - my weight is heading downwards....rather quickly! This is just another…

I have been "forcing" myself to eat breakfast for years - but IF allows me to "skip" breakfast, and have 2 filling meals during the day. I find this very satisfying... Eating Breakfast just makes me hungrier during the day...

I downloaded Libra for android last week..... I weigh myself first thing in the morning, after Ive deposited items in the toilet... ;).... Monday is always my highest day/Friday my lightest...(weekend planning still WIP)...... So - before this week -every Monday Ive beaten myself up (+3-5lbs from Friday) - gave up hope a…

I started 16:8 about 3 weeks ago. I had previously been trying to fit in 6 small meals a day, or 3 average meals with a couple of snacks - but I found once I started eating I couldnt stop, and I dont think my meals were "small enough". With the 16:8, I have been stunned by the results, and how easy "I" have found it (Its…

Im a daily weigher (but have learned not to obsess) - and ended up on this email thread as my tummy is getting v. squishy, and I have remained at an identical weight for 4 days. (I normally fluctuate a few pounds day to day). Previously - "when dieting" - If I had stayed at the same weight for 4 days - I would be…

Ham and cheese roll up (100 calories) - 2 if Im really hungry. 1 slice of ham (approx 30cals) 1 slice of reduced fat cheese (I use sargento swiss cheese) - 70 cals Lay cheese on ham. Roll Munch This is quite filling, and keeps me going to next meal.

If you click on "add food" the page that pops up will automatically list foods you have already entered...... (recently/breakfast/dinner/all). There is a search feature.... I recommend using the search feature - and keep it at a high level until you get used to the names... eg: Instead of looking for nice big red juicy…

I also have not had kids, and had a Mirena inserted (I was living in Switzerland at the time, and they would not give me my Depo shots as they felt I was too overweight). The Mirena insertion was incredibly painful, and I had terrible cramps and pains for up to 6weeks after - if it hadnt hurt so much going in - I would…

I am looking forward to being able to cross my legs again when I sit down.....

I also hated peanut butter as a kid. AND I couldnt keep peanut butter in the house UNTIL..... I found Laura Scudders NAtural No-Salt Organic.... This is a natural peanut only peanut butter - I have a feeling it will remind you why you didnt like peanut butter - however, with a little drop of honey - its PERFECT. I can now…
