1. When I've made a mistake (this is the same trigger for anxiety and panic attacks) 2. If I miss a meal (because I either don't eat for the rest of the day or I binge all evening) 3. My mum, who always comments on my weight/size. 4. Adverts and articles about weight loss 'wonder products' 5. TV shows or articles about ED…

Hello everyone I'm Jade, 25, living in London. I work as a Chef and I'm studying to become a Nutritionist. It's safe to say my entire life revolves around food. I struggled with Bulimia throughout my teens, for maybe 8-10 years. It started as the occasional purge after bingeing, so that the junk food "wouldn't count", but…

My partner started a week ago and it's certainly got him going! I'm gonna start this week! Exciting!

I'm no expert, but in 'The 4 Hour Body' one of the rules is that once a week you have to binge. You eat healthily with a deficit of calories 6 days a week (there are a few other rules for these days) then on day 7 you eat as much as you want, and as much junk as you want. I don't really remember the science behind it but…

I don't even own a set of scales so I have no idea how much weight I lost, or if I even did lose any! I lost 2 inches around my waist and belly though, so I'm happy :) It's been a stressful month and I did treat myself more than I should but September is a new month. Onward and upward!

I was just looking at these on Amazon! That's the Omron BF306, no? All the Omron body composition monitors are on sale on Amazon right now (on the UK site at least), there are 3 in the range. The top one (the BF511) is on sale for £50 - normally £120!!…

Hello! I'm still here. Didn't post in the group for the last few days as I've been visiting family and can't access groups on the app (or maybe I'm just too much of a technophobe to know how!) but still tracking every day :)

What motivated you today to exercise? I can see and feel the muscles in my legs getting stronger, which gives me motivation to continue and push myself cycling and also to start making my upper body and core workouts stronger so I don't look out of proportion! Do you allow yourself a little wiggle room in your diet, or are…

Kimsied, can I ask what heart rate monitor and app you use? I was excited by the idea of the Withings Pulse, but I agree it looks like a bit of a pain to use the pulse read feature.. I'll probably hold out on buying a 'wearable fitness tracking device' until the day one of these companies finds a way to incorporate a heart…

Day 14: Thursday, how was your day? Break down your day for us! I haven't been sleeping and work and cycling have exhausted me the last few days. Today was my day off so I stayed home and rested all day (and made gluten free sugar free vegan donuts for a friends birthday - and I only ate half which I think is very…

How's your day been? It's been ok - I couldn't sleep at all last night so I had coffee for the first time in years today, which gave me crazy jitters! I skipped my evening roller derby practice because I think I might have been a danger on the track. I won't be trying coffee again any time soon! Next time I need energy…

What kind of job do you have? Do you feel like your job inhibits your fitness goals? I work as a chef! Being surrounded by 'naughty' foods all day is a bit torturous, but I rarely have time to eat while on shift. I'm getting better at making time for a healthy snack halfway through my shift though. I work shifts, so either…

What is motivating you? I really want to prove to myself that i have willpower and I'm strong and I can be super fit if I just try! What is holding you back, if anything? I work flexible shifts (it could be 7.30am to 3pm or it could be 3pm until late) in a kitchen full of delicious food, where I don't have time for a…

Have you taken your measurements? If so, have you seen any changes? yep I lost 2 inches on my waist! What did you do for exercise today? loooooots of cycling! Over 2 hours in total What are some NSV's you would like to share with us? I still don't know what this means!

How did your day go in terms of working out? What did you do? Just cycling today as I was busy busy busy! How was your calorie intake? Oh gosh I was over my goal by 250! I baked donuts for my boss's leaving party.. and I tested a few of them... It is hard to diet when you're a chef! Have you noticed any changes in your…

How did your day go? It was ok :) What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us! Cycled just over an hour in total, and did an upper body workout circuit :) What did you struggle with? I went over my carb and sugar goals What are your wins for the day? My upper body workout! We are a week+ in. Any nsv's? I'm not sure…

Happy Hump Day! How did your day go? Pretty good What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us! Today I took a rest day as I felt a bit sick yesterday so I guess my body needed it! What did you struggle with? I ate processed foods - soya bolognese at lunch and soya chunks at dinner. I'm running low on protein shake…

How did your day go? It went ok on the whole. What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us! I did just over an hour of cycling in total and a big upper body strength workout with dumbbells What did you struggle with? fueling my workout. I don't think I'd eaten enough beforehand, and I didn't eat soon enough after, so…

How was your day? Busy! But I got lots done at least. What were some challenges you experienced today that you were able to overcome? Um, well I really didn't feel like exercising today as it's that time of the month, but I made myself cycle to work. It was a struggle, but I did it, and got some cardio for the day :) Where…

•What meal of the day did you just LOVE? Or, what has been your favorite healthy/low calorie meal lately? I made a veggie and bean chilli for dinner, with quinoa and fresh corn cobs. I love corn cobs! They are one of my favorite foods! Spread with just a little vitalite mmm they were sooo good! •What NSV did you experience…

How did your day go? Today was intense! A busy shift at work in a sweaty kitchen, an intense roller derby practice in a sweaty hall - and some sweaty cycling in between! What did you do for exercise? Cycled to work (6.5 miles) then from work to skating practice (7 miles) then 2 hours of intense sweaty Roller Derby drills,…

How did your day go? Good! It was my day off so I had time! What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us! I did the Jillian Michaels 6 week 6 pack workout in the morning, which strangely didn't seem to work my core as much as my arms - so I guess it means I need to work on my arms! I also cycled around London for a…

I'm 24 and living in London, UK. I'm new to MFP but I want to commit and track every day! Anyone is welcome to add me - I need some motivation on my home page!

•How did your day go? I had a pretty chilled day, but didn't get home from work until 9.30pm so I ate pretty late •What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us! I cycled to work and back which is 6.5 miles each way. I got there in about 30 minutes and I got home in about 45 minutes. I also did a few sets of push-ups…

Hello! I'm one day late to the challenge but it will still be good motivation for me to track everyday! Today I weigh in at 133 pounds, and I'd like to lose at least 10 pounds of body fat and put on some muscle! It's gonna take more than a month, but let's see how far I can get! I'm tracking inches lost as well as weight,…
