Seconding what an above poster said. It's one thing to say "That donut is full of saturated fat and sugar and while they taste good, it isn't a good choice for health. You're not getting a donut." and another to say "You're fat." Of course, the question is-- why are you in the donut shop in the first place and would you be…

Well, I've actually gone up a cupsize >:( I was a 38E and now I'm a 36F. I figure I've lost a bit of band size, but cup size is relative to band size--a 32C is a smaller cup than a 38C. I'm looking forward to my boobs losing a bit and potentially being able to fit in pretty lingerie and not have to go for bras that are…

High blood pressure and being sick of airplane seats being uncomfortable and not being able to find clothes that aren't dowdy. Or leopard print. Also my knees hurt.

I'm allergic to dairy so my pizzas are kind of lower fat by default. What I generally do is cook a small (1/4 of a dinner plate) pizza base with a little bit of passata and layered roasted veges on it. I add some pre-cooked chicken thigh meat. I add a side salad to bulk it out and give me enough vegetables.

OK so: One thing people haven't mentioned is that alcohol is preferentially processed by the liver. That means that any other processes that are taking place will be dropped in favour of processing (via alcohol dehydrogenase) the alcohol. During weight/fat loss, the liver is largely the organ that breaks down the fat from…

When I started out (before I was on this site) I had around 36 kilos to lose. Now I have around 30 kilos. Although that would be the lower end of the BMI range for me. Honestly, I'll be happy to lose 20kg and just get down into a healthy BMI.

Sweetie, you need to get some professional help, because I think you may not be seeing what's actually there. Go see your doctor, and hopefully they will be able to recommend a nutrionist and a therapist who can help you with treatment of a body image/eating disorder. I can say, that as someone who is working at getting…

I'm 5'5 and aiming for 134, but honestly if I get below 150 and in a healthy weight range for my height I'll be happy. It seems so far off now! (Currently 188.1)

The other trouble with under-eating is that when you relax rigid control, your metabolism is used to being incredibly efficient with little fuel, so your weight will rebound. The goal is to work out your TDEE and eat around 100-200 calories under that. It's not enough to harm your metabolism, and you will lose weight, even…

I started off the beginning of the year at 93.4kg. I want to get down to 54kg, (lower range of my healthy weight/height range) but I'd be stoked just to get into the healthy weight/height range at the moment. Still, I've made some progress. Currently weighing in at around 85.3 kilos. It seems like there's a long way to go,…

Hi everyone! I've just joined MFP as well. I've got a fair bit more to lose than 20 pounds (58 to go--but I started with 75 to lose, so I've made some progress.) Hoping to use this group to keep motivated and keep myself accountable.

Hi! I've just joined MFP as well. Well, I've had an account for a while but never used it. Since the beginning of this year, I've lost 17 pounds. Got down to 20 pounds lost, but bounced back up. I'm hoping to maintain motivation this time. Good to meet you! I've got a bit more to lose than 20 pounds, but giving myself an…

Heidelberg area. I'd love to find someone to run with. Currently doing Zombies Run to 5K, week 5. I'm slow as, but managing to run for all of the runs. Hoping to get faster soon.

Yes! But I also weigh myself every day. I gain around a kilo and and a half/two kilos before my period (It feels like such a cheat when the daily weigh in results in a huge drop) but I do some statistical analysis on the daily data and try not to pay too much attention to the actual number. It's about the trend.

Hey there! It's a hard thing to do, isn't it! From someone whose diet was completely rubbish, here's how you start. (I've used other calorie tracking apps, I'm just new to myfitnesspal) Eat a huge meal, then sit down and plan your meals for the week. If your family/room mates get any treats that you find it impossible to…

Hi there, Melbourne here and just getting started! Feel free to add me.
