18 (19 in a week :P ) I hit rock bottom today actually, after analyzing exactly what it was I ate yesterday (I wouldn't be surprised if it was 3000 kcal), I'm an emotional eater, like a few of you who have commented, so when I am stressed, nervous, or sad, I shove food in my face until I need to roll to move. It's bad.…

Hi guys! Height- 5"7 S.W.- 137 lbs C.W.- 134 lbs G.W. - 124 lbs Want to get back to where I was less than half a year ago!

Soya Protein shake with a wide variety of fruit and veg (not all at once) blended in together with some soy milk. That way I get some protein and fruit/veg in one go!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone. I look forward to this journey!

Hey guys, adding you all :) Bear with me as I go through sending requests, need to make sure I haven't missed anyone out!!!

Quite a few posts since I last looked, difficult to quote all. Anyways, I am so excited to have so many people on board! Really looking forward to it. I have to run for the time being since a friend arrived for a couple of days and we are meeting up to have a chat, but I will get back to everyone regarding some great…

If there are any questions, don't hesitate to message me. It took me some time to adjust as well, and would love to ease your struggles :) And of course I will motivate you!

As long as you eat healthy, exercise and have a balanced lifestyle, you should slip up :) I'll send you some recipes later on today, and hope they will be good. Always have a positive mindset, because that is a huge step in the right direction! Looking forward to being buddies

I managed to up my kcal/day to 1750, but I do admit, I think it was a large change, but I definitely feel better. I am now eating back any kcal I may have burned if I exercised in the evening. If during the day, I am eating like I usually would, with a bit extra :) Hopefully will be able to up my kcal by 200 next week,…

I'm in! Looking to lose about 5 kg in total, but whatever comes off by then, I am happy with :) As long as I am exercising and eating right, that is good

Well, good luck with everything. It sounds like you are definitely on track now, what with eating back calories and not allowing deficit to be too high. I guess the term 'you can do/eat everything in moderation' really applies to this. There is only so much you can eat/exercise before it is considered to be excessive. I…

I love exercising. It gives me such a good feeling after working out. 5 hrs a week is perfect for me, no more no less, but never burning more than 600 kcal in one hour like I used to do :/ I take it easy but still make an effort. Also, I'm on my feet a good part of the day, so I need the extra energy.

Thanks guys :) I understand it more which makes this easier :) I jumped from 1100 straight to 1600 so I definitely feel a difference in food intake, will increase much more slowly from now on but I do feel a definite change in energy levels. Also, I don't know if this is connected, but when I wake up, I actually wake up,…

Oh, ok. No the one above is my TDEE including my activity. My sedentary TDEE is 1753 kcal/day. So I should just use that one then, and if I do exercise, eat back my calories to reach at least BMR?

Congratulations! You look great :)

Hey there! I'm looking for a buddy as well to motivate and to be motivated by :) Sending you a request now. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Hi there! I myself am looking for a few buddies along the way :) I had two on MFP that I know personally, but they both bailed on me, Would love to help you out, and am sending a request, so you should get it soon. Looking forward to it! And if there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Hi, I'm sort of new, been on MFP since January 2013. Looking for some buddies to help motivate and be motivated by :) Tbh, I don't know how to do the whole friend request thing though :(

Thank you so much! Locked the scales away and am trusting this new, healthier lifestyle :) It is already the third day after changing everything, and I feel like I have so much more energy. I used to hate having to walk into town to get groceries and go to the gym, but now I feel like I could walk it three times there and…

I was really thin most of my life, and never really had to worry about what I ate because I looked good whenever I looked in the mirror, I felt healthy, I exercised and was never ashamed of what I saw. I have always been a bit fuller around the hips and legs, but I do have an hourglass shape, so my shoulders help to even…

1791 kcal/day is my goal calorie intake according to scooby's workshop website in order to lose fat. TDEE-2264 BMR- 1461 Since I'm coming out of this whole undereating, which number should I use to place manually in to MFP? I am sorry for all the questions, but I am slightly confused, I've been looking through the website…

According to the calculations, I calculated my calories to 1791 kcal per day, but I have been eating 1200 per day (pretty much starvation mode I guess), so if I eat more, I am assuming there will be a definite period when I gain since my body isn't used to it, but will it definitely start going down once my body gets used…

I will try weighing myself less frequently, I think that may help because I am quite self-concious and it is difficult for me to get over a small gain, thank you! Also, I calculated my calories to 1791 kcal per day, but I have been eating 1200 per day, so if I eat more, I am assuming there will be a definite period when I…
