  • I just bought Davina's Box Set Super Body and High Energy Five as I already have Body Buff. I am finding the Boxercise section Super Fit to be a lot more challenging that the Buff Boxing but maybe that's because I was doing Body Buff for two months and body got used to it. But I can guarentee that you will sweat. On the…
  • Welcome and good luck to yourself on your exciting journey, you will be glad you joined. :flowerforyou:
  • Congratulations and well done, keep up the good work. :smile:
  • I always do as it them gives me the determination to loose what I have put on like the 3lb from last week being on holiday.
  • Make sure you are drinking plenty of water as well, if I drop my water intake down I don't loose for some reason.
  • Thanks everyone think I might go with the FT7 as it is cheaper.
  • Don't give up, keep going. In May/June I stayed the same weight and measurement for 8 weeks, I kept at it. Only thing I have done different was up my exercising so that I am doing every other day instead of 3 times a week and I have found that this has helped shift the weight again and in two weeks I have lost 5lb. Make…
  • Thanks.
  • I also take mine in the morning straight after I have eaten breakfast.
  • Hello and welcome, you have come to the right place. Everyone is friendly and there is lots of advice if you need it. Good luch on your journey with MFP.

  • I weigh myself every Friday morning after I have gotten up but before I have breakfast, I personally find it's better for myself to just do it once a week.
  • My favourite meal is dinner sat down with hubby and the kids.
  • In April and May I lost no weight at all and I listened to a Jillian Michaels podcast about Plateaus and how they don't exist she explained its your body becoming used to your diet and routine and that you need to change things on a monthly basis, so in June I upped my calories from 1330 to 1460 and increased and changed…

  • I only weigh myself on a Friday morning before I have eaten or drank anything and I use the Wii Fit to weigh as I don't have any bathroom scales. Then if it says that I have lost a pound I log the lost pound if it's a gain I log the gain. Therefore what ever the Wii says on the Friday is my success or downfall. On the last…
  • I'm sorry but I am all for doing it myself without taking drugs of any kind to loose weight. I watch what I eat and sweat my butt of exercising regularly and feel really pleased with myself seeing the scale go down, knowing its my own hard work that is resulting in this.

  • Well done, I can spot a difference, keep up the good work.
  • I have started to eat Oats so simple for breakfast as it was suggested to me to help feel full up for longer and I have to admit it does fill me up more and I don't attack my lunch now until lunchtime. So I feel that having these carbs for breakfast does help me not feel hungry and has stopped me snacking between meals.
  • Well done, maybe I should count them as well as I never count the cleaning calories might just start doing that.
  • I'm a 38 yr old mum of two girls 12 & 9, you can add me if you like as well :flowerforyou:
  • I had to up my from Sedentary to lightly active as even though I was logging all my exercise the scale never moved for 7 weeks I just seemed to be maintaining so I upped it to lightly active three weeks ago and still log all my exercise and I have lost 1lb a week for those three weeks which was my goal. Just have a play…
  • Girlinahat thanks for your input I agree with the not posting nutritional info and I was not indicating you were being the childish one but it seemed to me that Taems was trying to force his opinion onto others and was like a dog with a bone. Instead of letting everyone have their own opinion he kept putting more of his…
  • After it seems that my question was hijacked by childish bickering between certain people, I would like to say thank you to Andersonkar & Stanvoodoo for their suggestions I will look to changed to 40 40 20 and keep to the calories suggest by Dr, the water was a bit high that day but was busy decorating the hallway and in…
  • Welcome, you could not find a better place to be.
  • I always measure across my bust for chest measurement.
  • Way to go everyone, let's keep up the good work.
  • I have noticed that since drinking more water I am not sluggish on a morning when I get up. Before I started MFP all I would drink was tea and diet coke and found it hard to get going. I have given up the diet coke but still have 4 cups of tea but in addition I also make sure I drink between 8 & 12 cups of water,…

  • All my Dr told me that when I saw him about loosing weight was to stick to 1400 - 1500 calories and not mentioned anything about Carbs, Protein or Fat. I have now tweeked my % on them and see what happens.
  • Thanks glypta had a quick look at your diary for ideas.
  • I know you said don't recommend a doctor but you really need to see one as any rectal bleeding is not normal. It could be a simple case of piles but you really should get it examined to be on the safe side.
  • I think its brillian as a working mum it is so easy to fit in the 20mins to do it. I am on day 3 of level 1 and don't I know I have been doing it, I have muscles aching that I forgot were there. It is hard going but worth it.
