we are starting off in John o'groat Scotland, the northern most point of Scotland and heading to Lands end Cornwall UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land's_End_to_John_o'_Groats So as we start in Scotland our challenges will be themed to Scotland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_o%27_Groats…

you need to work out your TDEE. bellow 1200 is normally too low. your body will start going into starvation mode if its too low. myfitnesspal should generate your TDEE/calories by default. but it dose need a fair few weeks to see any changes.

Hi, I'm from the UK too, I've been logging food/dieting for a while now. if you eat a certain meal a lot remember to save it as a meal or a recipe. it a lot easier & quicker in the long run to log and gives you ideas of what to eat when you can't decide.

I was diagnosed in my early 20's with hypothyroidism, though i think i had it undiagnosed for a long time, I'm 29 now. I've lost over 50 lbs now though I have a long way to go. I couldn't really lose weight till my medication was at the right level for a while. I tried just about everything, from weight watchers, slimming…

Dam it, i wanna be good but this made me want a cream tea :( FYI honey instead of jam is rather interesting too.

lentils - you can make soup and use it in recipes instead of minced beef. chickpeas you can make burgers with etc.

you need to put yourself on it and put your weight on.

I wanted to lose weight for a long time but a mixture of heath problems, depression and not properly medicated hypothyroidism kept me from losing it. I had tried before to lose the weight from everything from Very low calorie shake diets and slim fast and intermittent fasting, weight loss classes and everything else under…

maybe ask a friend or family member to help you do meal prepping once a week or every 2 weeks till your better? so you can make your own healthy ready meals to eat. so you only need to reheat a healthy meal from the fridge or freezer?

Hi, I have about 140lbs to lose, lost almost 40 lbs so far. i find the challenges help a lot too to keep you motivated. there's one just started this week :) http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10434373/starting-august-1st-2016-lose-40-pounds-before-christmas-day/p1 and a 12 week jump start group one :)…

I made a spread sheet let me know if you have any problems editing it. just put in your weights and will work out the losses for you :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AnBSE9m58tsGXRfo2Fz0jn0OErY8Y8G2s7qfvmyOaiw/edit?usp=sharing

hi, I picked up a chest infection over the weekend and i'm on antibiotics now so doubt I will be doing anything this week till i get better. sorry :(

hi everyone, did a load in the gym and a extra long walk. walk to gym- 13 mins arm bike - 15 mins treadmill - 33mins bike 5mins arm bike -15 mins cross trainer - 21 mins walk home - 54 mins total 156 mins

Hi everyone, I honestly fell of track a lot this week. didn't do any exercise expect one 35 min run/walk. I wish house work counted as exercise because i'd have a heck of a lot to log then lol. I ended up trying to get myself back on track yesterday with logging my food again and did my exercise again. I'm going to the gym…

Hi everyone, did my two 35min walk/runs on Friday but didn't do any exercise on Saturday. I went and did a lot in the gym today though. walked to the gym (20 mins) treadmill (35 mins) hand bike not sure the real name its like a bike for your arms (10 mins) recumbent bike (11 mins) cross trainer (13 mins) rower (3 mins not…

not sure if i should just list all the veg i had: Monday - kale, Spinach (green), plum tomatoes canned (red) Tuesday - cucumber (green), Carrots (orange), broccoli, kale (green) Wednesday - Romaine Lettuce (green) Thursday - Romaine Lettuce (green), Fresh Tomato (Red), cucumber (green) if anyone is using Italian pasta…

Hi everyone, been a bit busy this week and probably the rest of the week getting sorted for my family to come vist. I did step up my 30mins run/walk to 25min of walking and 5min warm up/cool down, so 35min in total rather than 30mins. also i've been logging my food to mfp as normal.

Hi everyone sorry I had a bit of a busy weekend so i didn't update Fridays or the weekend till now.

shaunie126 it took me quite a while to get use to logging everything too. If you have a smart phone, the myfitnesspal app helps me a lot. especially the bar code scanner its a lot quicker than searching by hand, I can just scan it. I haven't found a item yet which hasn't been in the database using the scanner. I tried to…

bad thing about knowing how to cook is that you know how to cook bad stuff too, but i do enjoy cooking new things. I did 10mins on the arm challenge today and 2 30mins jogs/runs. so 70mins total.

I lost 1.4 lbs at the weight in this week, I'm glad to see its still coming off regularly since I've been dieting and exercising for a while now. I did 2 30 min jog/walks today and made some Greek style kebabs for dinner.

I know the feeling misstori4. I have hypothyroidism too and before my levothyroxine meds were at the right dosage I was terrible even putting on a pair of socks was hell, hair thinning, dry cracking skin and I was constantly depressed till it was sorted and stable. it can be hell on you if its not stable. it wasn't over…
