I downloaded the free trial but didn't sign up after that - I felt there were enough free workouts on YouTube which were similar to mean that spending that much a month wasn't necessary

If you search 'breastfeeding' in the food diary it will come up and gives you the option of negative 300 calories (for a newborn) or negative 500 calories (for an ebf 4 month old or older). You add it to your diary like a food to show negating calories of that amount.

In a very similar position - my little boy will be 6 weeks old on Friday. My other son is 17 months old. I have lost 9lb so far, 20lb to go! I'd just got down to target weight last time & got pregnant again! Although put on less this time. I've been trying to eat healthy ish & started using mfp again this last week and…

I'm due December 9th with my first. We aren't finding out what we are having...I don't think! Our scan is on the 24th, can't wait to see our little bundle again :-)

I feel the same at the moment, generally lethargic and lacking in energy. I have ctually decreased my exercise - last year I was running 100 miles a month plus horse riding or swimming every day. Now I am running 60ish miles a month with the odd strength session but I just can't be bothered with swimming or riding (which…

Me too...I love my boobs when I am about 10 pounds above my goal weight - they are about a DD. After I lose weight below that my boobs suddenly shrink before my eyes! :-( So it's just whether I stay a bit above my goal and be happy with my boobs (and not happy with the rest of me!) or get to goal and be happy with my…

I am getting married in April and would like to lose half a stone by then. This time last year I was a 16 pounds lighter and at my ideal weight (maybe a tad under it even) so I am annoyed at myself for letting it creep back on, especially with the wedding coming up. I do not want to be worrying about how my chubby arms…

I am in a very similar situation - I get married in April, and want to lose 10 pounds before then. I am so mad with myself as this time last year I was 16 pounds lighter than I am now....I can't believe I just let it creep on with the wedding so close.

I'm exactly the same, I am exercising alot - ataround an hour fairly vigorous exercise a day, mainly running but also gym work, personal trainer sessions and horseriding at the weekend. I net between 1200 and 1500 calories a day - maybe a bit more at weekends. So far I have put on two pounds!! (not muscle!) I am getting…

Thank you everyone....I know a couple of people think I shouldn't have posted here,I am not posting on here to get a reaction, more cos if I speak to friends then a) most of them are his friends too (we have a lot of mutual friends). b) they will change their opinion of him forever. More than anything I just want to get…

I only checked his Facebook in response to this happening. I stumbled across the porn thing. I didn;t have trust issues. I do now. the wedding is 11 months away (supposedly) and he has had as many ideas for it and has planned it as much (if not more) than I have. I am not a crazy - weddings / bridezilla type so there is no…

I haven't got angry at him at all, I just feel really weary and disappointed. It probably doesn't help that I didn't sleep at all last night really. He is giving himself a hard time, but so he should. I've said we will talk about it after work. I am just gutted because we have been planning our wedding and he has been at…

That's the other thing I probably should have mentioned... he really isn't that interested in having much sex with me and my sex drive is much higher than his! Not ideal........

I did this on Sunday! Ran it in 4 hours 11 minutes and had the best day ever...the atmosphere was unbelieveable and it was such a great day. It was very hard for the last 4-5 miles but I ran every step of the way and hit my target time so I was (and still am) on a massive high. I felt terrible and amazing at the same…

Wishing you all the luck with finding him. Keep us updated.

bump to follow Good luck!

I am the same. I am now a couple of pounds below what I always considered to be my dream weight (I am 133 pounds now, I always wanted to be 137 pounds when I was bigger) but still I don't feel slim. Everyone tells me I look slim but when I look in the mirror I really can't see any difference. Either I was in denial before…

My tips would be to make sure you have rest days (at least 2 a week), join a running club (it will help you improve and it makes it more fun), and always have something to aim towards - the fact you are entering races is great, it gives you a reason to go out running even when it is dark / wet / snowing. I also log all my…

I am running London marathon in April next year...it's actually my 2nd marathon but I could still do with the motivation and support so I hope I still count! Long runs start here.......! What sort of running / fitness do you do now?

When someone you don't know very well says 'are you naturally slim or do you have to work at it' Someone said this to me last week!!! YAAAAAAAAAY :happy:

Can I be in too? I did four miles on Tuesday and am going to running club for the first time ever tonight. I am told we will do between 5-7 miles and then I usually do about 10 miles on a Saturday. I'll get a ticker sorted too :-)

I am training for a half marathon at the moment (well, actually I am doing 3 half marathons in 4 months) and so far I have continued to lose weight - a pound a week roughly, although I have plateaued at the moment. When I did a full marathon last year though I didn't lose any weight - mainly because I found I was SO hungry…

Hi all, Well i did my first half marathon in 6 months on Saunday, I have another three over the next three months, so this was my trial run. My training had gone well but I had only been up to 10-11 miles. On Sunday I went round in 2 hours and 50 seonds which is a PB by over 5 minutes!! (My PB was 2 years old). The route…

I am another one who wants something salt after a really long run - and I normally hate salty food so I think it must be related. I find I'm not hungry after a run but the next day I'm starving! I run 3-4 times a week so I tend to be way under my calories on the day I run (because I'm not hungry) but over on the days O…

Hey all.... I am doing 4 half marathons in 3 months - the first of which is this Sunday! I am really looking forward to it but the weather is supposed to be terrible (thunderstorms) so I am hoping that is wrong! Then I have one in two weeks time, another at the end of October and the last one is mid November. I don't know…

I think you'll most probably be fine - I've done a few half marathons without the best training. Just pace yourself, start slow, drink lots of water and walk if you need to. Most importantly, enjoy it! I wouldn't aim to beat your previous time - use this as a new benchmark and then enter another one to beat it in a couple…

Thanks everyone....all really useful advice :-). The multi vitamin is definitely something I need to think about taking - your responses just reminded me that when I was training for a marathon two years ago I was diagnosed as borderline anaemic so perhaps as I am doing more exercise my iron levels are low again? I don't…

Thanks everyone - I didn't word it very well did I....I'm not totally stupid, I know a 1lb = 1lb. I meant density / volume of a pound I guess. The pic was good, thank you. I am a newbie so I am sorry if it's been asked loads of times before.

Also I meant to say, I did Run to the Beat last year! There was massive delays at the start but other than that it was a good run....and only two hills :smile:

I am currently training for a half marathon too - Oxford Half at the end of Sept. I have done several before and always ended up the same weight or even putting on weight cos I think I can eat what I like and then I get greedy! This time I am logging all my exercise on MFP (3 runs of 3-5 miles a week and one long run at…
