I need some new MFP friends! I did really well a few years ago but have had two kids since then and it's all back on. I definitely do better on here with a squad of cheerleaders, all helping each other out. I want to lose 120 lbs.

Hey all, I am a first time mum, due on the 27th April - 24 weeks on Sunday and expecting a little boy. I have a very high bmi so am trying to use MFP to ensure I stay on track and not gain too much during the pregnancy - I lost almost 50 lbs with MFP a couple of years ago but have binge-eating disorder so put it all back…

This, I have Binge Eating Disorder and being arseholes about my weight or bringing it up is a huge trigger for me.

I haven't got any before pics, but my measurements are; Waist 48in Hips 53in Arm 17in Thigh 27in Bust 46in

Thanks, added my start / goal weight for the challenge.

Age: 33 Hieght: 5'7" Daily Calorie Goal: 1300 CW: 285 lbs GW: 170 lbs Preferred work-outs: Just Dance, Cross-trainer, cycling

Is there still room for this? If so, I'm interested!

This sounds amazing! Would anyone consider doing this as a cycle challenge with me throughout 2013?

So whats the challenge this week?

Overcoming Binge Eating by Dr. Christopher Fairburn is the one my therapist recommended I start to read whilst I had sessions with her. It is very wordy and technical, but it is really good. Lots of exercises to work through as well. I'd also say it's very good to give to family / friends who are trying to support you. I…

Me: 3 Binge: 0 Yesterday was SO hard. As I was walking home from work a group of kids started shouting some fat related abuse at me. It really upset me and my natural mechanism is to binge. It didn't help my fiance was away with work so I was home alone. It was a really battle not to, I listened to my hypnotherapy tape and…

Me - 1 Binge - 0 Good start, lets see how long it lasts!

This idea is fab, I am late joining for August, but I will start to try this from today anyway. :)

I am going to try and count the days I can remain binge free with you all.

Hey, I've been away, I really am not in the right head space at the moment to keep HoH duties on, if anyone wants to step up, let me or kellyisfat, who is Hogwarts headmistress know. I'd like to keep posting and chipping away with Slytherin, I'm just so busy with work, my wedding and my health issues to commit to looking…

How is everyone doing? Trying to get back into the swing of gyming again after my extended break due to holidays / illness - HAAAAARD! We need to go on a recruitment drive as well. We need fresh blood!

This week's challenges are: Week 1 - Gryffindor Food - One earned for every day you stay under your carb macro (feel free to do some research and set this macro as you see appropriate for yourself and your goals). Exercise -One earned for every set of 10 tricep dips! Spirit - One earned for every day you post in your…

Welcome to Slytherin!

Hey all, I hope to be back with you fighting it for the beginning of next week for the challenge, this month has been a bust with my knee, holiday and now shingles! Rubbish! Glad to see you're all doing well, promise to be less rubbish next month!

Right, I am going to submit this challenge for next week, using one of Desertlyzard's ideas. Polyjuice challenge - 1 NEWT for every day you don't have a beverage that is over 50 cals. Flagrante challenge - 1 OWL for every day you burn over 400 calories or more. Hope you all like it!

Hey my dears, I am all caught up with work and the like so back in the game! We need to confirm our challenge for next week for the whole house, I liked Desertlyzards idea of HP'ing them up, shall we go with her earlier suggestions? If we could think of two so we have the following month sorted that would also be fab.…

Hey all, back from my hols! Thank you so much to Desertlyzard for looking after things for me, I kind of signed off abruptly, I promise not to do it again! I am at work at the mo, but will catch up properly later. Big love!

I had inflamed the tendons in my knee so I haven't been online the best couple of days, sorry! Hope everyone is good!

Yes! It looked like a typo, sorry! As the Hogwarts Head has no internet as a result of storms, here is this week's challenge! WEEK 1 - 1st July - 7th July OWLs - 2 OWLs per day for each day you complete the following, or 1 OWL if you only manage 10 a day. 20 Jumping Jacks 20 Ab crunches 20 Push ups 20 Squats NEWTs - 1…

@Vegastei Aww I am sure you'd do fine with the weigh ins, have you tried to zig-zag your calories to see if that will help you with scale moves? @fuhrmeister - Yay Courtney, glad you joined! We have a similar set up to Loserville with challenges and logging our weights on a spreadsheet, so sure you'll settle in fine.…

Ahh, for your figures to qualify you'll need to weigh in weekly, otherwise your average the week you do weigh in will be crazy. Why do you struggle with weekly weigh in's? I used to weigh in every day, it was a nightmare!

Yes yes, join Slytherin!

We came 2nd in the Quidditch Cup last week, behind Gryffindor. YAY, congrats to you all for working so hard! But y'all know what the Gryffindor / Slytherin rivalry is like, let's try and beat them next week! Hope everyone is having a great day!
