@johunt615 thank you, you're right I doubt out food choices would be the same haha veggies are a struggle for me but im willing to learn and any help is welcome :)

@nutmegoreo Thanks i suspect what I read will be all too familiar! understanding why will def help, I just need to get through this phase and keep going I don't want to be fat all my life I'm determined

I feel a lot better I was close to tears earlier I was so frustrated with myself, tomorrow is a new day, id appreciate any support to get me through this I've never added any friends on this before ( usually just read the forums) but I think I need all the help I can get so please feel free to add :)

Yeah I am trying to treat food as fuel too still a work in progress but being more mindful of what will give me energy for the day as opposed to just stuffing my face with whatever

I def agree the attention is hard at times and I feel pressure to keep going so as not to feel a failure ( I know i know I'm doing it for me and no one else) even though I can see on the scales iv lost alot of weight my eyes still don't see it in the mirror

My diet is a bit hit and miss when I'm being good I try to have regular meals higher in protein where possible, but I don't want to be on a diet as such, I want to learn control and how to eat normally, portion control etc. Although if I am tired or stressed it does become more about the numbers calorie wise so not the…

I have alot of ongoing stress in my life none of which is going away anytime soon, I definitely have urges to comfort eat but I try not to give in, I need to learn to not comfort myself with food though. recently I've just eaten whatever I wanted even though I wasn't necessarily hungry, diet wise I've been eating better…

I was actually contemplating that, I guess I'm worried I'll go back to my old ways and put all the weight back on that I've lost.it feels like I've already started, like as soon as I relax my diet I just go sod it and eat all the things I shouldn't.

When I'm on track my calories range between 1500 and 1700, I aim to lose around 0.5kg a week

haha your post sounds so familiar.... feel free to add me :smile:

nah great figure :smile:

spicy chicken noodle soup 290 cal toasted turkey ham and light cheese sandwich 209 cal very tasty :smile:

well I have a bit of a collection of makeup going but no I don't wear it unless i feel like it and can happily leave the house without it My mum always told me that I'd have plenty of years ahead of me when makeup was needed to cover up but until then enjoy my young skin while i have it! same goes for hair dye, my granny…

nope - id let the world have a close up of it too if it looked that good :laugh:

hey feel free to add me I'm 5,8 crept up to a horrendous 284lbs ( everyone tells me I don't look it but feel horrible and want to see if there is a skinny girl in here somewhere) my goal weight is 154lbs Heather x

it may sound daft but its very easy to increase your calorie consumption...we all do it and that's why most of us are here! so you can choose slightly more calorific versions of what you are already eating if you feel you don't want to eat anymore in terms of quantity of food :) probably not the best advice you will read…

Gemini..there are so two sides to me! :wink:

weetabix, special K, coco pops, shreddies any of these with sliced banana thrown in :)

I'm a repeat offender on MFP 1st day back today! I used this before about 2 years ago and was quite successful... then I don't know what happened but here I am back where I started :/ I don't think my head realized how much weight I'd lost or how my shape had changed so this time I'm going to try and beat back the fat…

i agree with whats been said before, really at the end of the day its up to you if you think it smells ok and looks ok chances are that it probably is, although what i would point out is dogs stomachs are different to ours (they didnt always eat dog food from a can you know :laugh: . personally i wouldnt risk spending all…

bacteria is dormant when the food is frozen so if there are for example 100 bacteria on the frozen product, when you defrost the food the bacteria starts to grow again multiplying by 2 every 20 min approx, so you can imagine how fast it could get to food poisoning levels. also some bacteria are resistant to heat so cooking…

hiya i pulled a muscle in my shoulder a few days ago so i really do feel your pain! I tryed to rest it as much as possible, took some ibuprofen and placed a hotwater bottle on it over night and it was much better the next day, infact it didnt really hurt at all hope if you try the same it will help you too :smile:

i think it means not eating anything with an ingredient you cant pronounce! or atleast have an idea what it is so unrefined unprocessed foods but not sure interested to see what the definition is too:smile:

hey as far as this weeks challenge goes how bout we all try n get 5 or more fruit and veg in a day- i know its something i struggle with, just a thought ,:smile: heather x lol just read back a few posts n saw katies suggestion i agree nic give it a go for some motivation!:flowerforyou:

hey lost 1 lb new weight 241lb, happy with that i know it could have been a bit better but i had a chinese last nite so im guessing iv retained a bit of water because of the salt content. oh well i enjoyed it and its the first time iv had a cheat meal so lunch is going to be a nice salad with plenty of water lol well done…

it is your calorie intake over the week that counts , so yes you could use the spare calories from yesterday (add up your calories over the last week ,aslong as you stay within the maximum for you, you should be ok e.g my intake is 1500 x 7 days) but be warned it can be a slippery slope! :smile:

ok thanks just wondered, not sure what im going to have but just needed a little reassurance :smile: first time iv had a splurge meal and i dont wana mess up my hard work during the week. thanks agen :smile:
