I got mine 3 weeks ago and I've used it every day. My husband uses it a lot, too. I love it because I used to love running but I'm too self-conscious to run outdoors now. So I run and walk on my treadmill and one day when I'm slimmer and more confident I'll run outside again. Treadmill running can get boring, so I watch…

I disagree. I think the real problem is the exact opposite, that people's concepts of normal are far, far too thin (at least for women) due to size 0 models and actresses. The debate over the Special K actress is a perfect example of that. The only reason anyone would think this woman is fat:…

What is your calorie goal? MFP is notorious for sometimes giving people a calorie goal of less than 1200cals, which isn't healthy or advisable. If your daily calorie goal is less than that, don't worry about not hitting it. Just try to stick to 1200 for a few weeks and see if you are losing weight on that. If you are, it's…

That's incredible. I can hardly believe that last photo is the same guy as the first photo. Great job.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll get a diet soft drink in the cinema. Then I'll share a Thin Italian Veggie Supreme pizza with my husband and fill up on the healthy selections from the salad bar (lots of raw veggies, skip the croutons, bacon bites etc.). I'll drink sparkling water and have a coffee at the end. It might put me…

It's from a UK supermarket called Tesco and it is called Tesco Finest British Oak Smoked Wiltshire Cure Bacon Medallions, 38kcal for 2 medallions, and that's 0.6g fat. I grill them so I don't add any fat. And I have one medium egg which is 66 kcal and 4.4g fat. I poach that in water so there's no added fat or any other…

By logging my food on MFP I found that I was eating too many carbs and not enough protein, so I've switched my breakfast cereal for a poached egg and 2 grilled bacon medallions, which is back bacon with all the fatty bits taken off and just the big round lean meaty bit. That with a cup of coffee is my breakfast every day…

It's taken me a long time but I'm finally starting to realise that it's not about losing weight fast, it's about changing yourself into a slim person. Think about it this way - large people: * eat too much * eat the wrong sorts of things * move too little Slim people: * eat the right amount * eat the right kinds of things…

There are no healthy/unhealthy foods, only healthy/unhealthy diets. And "healthy" certainly doesn't mean the same thing as "low calorie". If you were overweight because you ate lots of cookies every day (as well as meals) and you change to eating rice cakes instead of cookies then your diet just got a bit healthier. But if…

Would you say the same thing to an alcoholic or drug addict "Just don't take meth. It's easy. Just simply don't take it"? On the one hand, you're correct in saying that's what is involved in getting clean from an addiction - just don't take drugs today, then don't take them tomorrow or the day after, and keep on not taking…

I'm really sorry (and surprised) that so many people in this thread have been unsympathetic and even downright rude and cruel. I've been where you are - I've suffered by eating food I didn't really like, denying myself things I wanted, feeling hungry most of the time, doing exercise I hated. I felt like I should be…

"People put the word "Bump" in a thread so they can save it and read it later." Doh! Thanks for explaining. I've got apps on the brain.

Bump? The app for transferring photos and contacts by bumping your phone against another phone? How do you use that to help lose weight and get fit?
-
Wow! So many great suggestions, so fast! Keep them coming.
