I do eat foods quite high in iron but i'm obviously eating less now so you may be right, Thanks for the advice!

You look fantastic! Happy Birthday! x

It sounds like your 'friend' is jealous of you and maybe a little insecure. I've never experienced this with any of my friends as they are supportive nice people. If the friendship is important to you then have a chat with her about it or just cut all ties with her.... no need for negative people around you. She is not a…

I'm having a few problems with it. The pill that i'm on stopped my periods and I would only get a really light one every 4-6 months that lasted a few days. However, since I've started losing weight I've had a heavy period that's been going on for over 2 weeks now and showing no signs of it going away. This is very…

Add it now. Exercise should be a part of your lifestyle and there's no such thing as 'too little' as long as you are doing something. I have no confidence to exercise in public either unless it's walking. I do everything at home. Go on youtube and search for workouts, there's so much out there. Start small though because…

By law if you work over 6 hours (a day) you must take at least a 30 minute break. It's your employers choice if it is a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks or a full 60 minute lunch. Some places allow you your 60 min lunch and then two 10 minute breaks.

I like to buy the little milkyway bars and put them in the freezer. They taste nice and take longer to eat so are more satisfying

Yeah i'm still trying to get over my sugar addiction. It's probably my only issue. I used to eat some sort of chocolate or cake every day. I cut it out almost completely in the first 2 weeks which was torture. Now I only allow a little bit here and there during my time of the month and I make sure that on days I have…

You could try a few things... Changing your margarita for Vodka (or tequila but not sure how it would taste), lime cordial and soda water. If you can't give up your drink of choice then just have less of it or have it less often maybe? You could always just eat really healthy on the Monday to make up for the calories or…

I don't think you should 'under eat' the next day but just make sure you eat healthy stuff. I do that sometimes. I went out for a meal and I was at a wedding in the same week so I just ate extremely healthy for the rest if the week to make up for it and I still had a loss when I weighed myself. There's nothing wrong with…

Anything sweet. Mainly Chocolate, cake and chocolate chip cookies. Chilli heatwave Doritos too. I can't stop eating those once the bag is open.

Spinach. I'd never had it before but I love it now.

Chocolate and cake! I literally used to have it every day but I have a small amount every few weeks now but it's torture haha. I went out for lunch yesterday and was so proud of myself for not ordering dessert. I thought giving up my stuffed crust pepperoni pizza every Friday would be difficult but I haven't craved it…

Well done for joining in the first place! I have gym anxiety too so I go to one with a women only suite upstairs and try to go in when it's less crowded. I put my headphones in and focus on whatever TV screen is in the room so that I'm not tempted to look around in case I think people are looking. I really want to go…

I log each meal before I prepare it. Sometimes after eating if i've had it before and know it won't make me go over on anything. Try downloading one of the MFP apps to your phone for when you're on the go.

350 so far... i'm aiming for about 800 today though.

I wouldn't say it's a 'female obsession' I am only 5ft 2 and have an office based job where I mostly sit at a desk so if I were to eat more I would gain weight. The only exercise I get is when I workout. Don't assume that all women are eating the minimum because they want to lose weight quickly. I'm on 1200 and I'm losing…

That's so rude of him. If you feel uncomfortable then you are not overreacting at all. I agree that maybe you should just put your headphones in and try to ignore him. Is he there every day all day? If not you could try changing the days/times you go to avoid him. Otherwise I would just change to a different gym if…

I'd definitely buy a T-Shirt and water bottle for working out. Great idea! I don't know about slogans though just because I don't like to wear slogan t-shirts anyway (nothing against those who do, I like some of your ideas) I'd just want a plain one with the logo printed on it.

I love cereal but I rarely eat it now. If I do i'll have special K with a chopped up banana.

I don't think there is anything wrong with a few drinks now and again. Just be sensible with it, don't binge drink, stay away from beers,ciders, wines, cocktails. I stick to vodka and a sugar free mixer like sugar free Cranberry juice or diet lemonade. I can't quite give up my jagerbombs just yet though so i'm using…

Me too ^^ I'm glad the majority also weigh themselves daily. I do it to see how my body reacts to certain food.

Mine is private because I don't have any friends on here, I use it for my own personal use and I get any advice/answers I may need from what other people post. If I had any MFP friends then it would be open to them. There is some criticism on these boards and I come here for support not for strangers who think they're…

Wow you're looking great. Can definitely see a change!

Great tip about pasta with holes in it! Thanks.

I never said I was having it regularly or everyday. I rarely eat pasta (which is why I asked how much to have) I usually have something like chicken and vegetables, but my calorie content was really low and I would have been 'under eating' so I thought pasta would be the best option and it was a nice change. I'm not going…

I lost 8lbs before starting but it took months which was ridiculous. I had no help or support so I joined MFP. Then I lost 3lbs in my first week using MFP so i'm really happy I joined. It's put A LOT into perspective for me. I literally had no clue about what I was putting into my body before and now i'm learning a lot…

I'd say have fruit if you really aren't hungry. I used to be exactly the same but I think it's because you need to get into a routine. If you just even have a small bowl of porridge or slice of toast everyday your body will start to automatically feel hungry for breakfast. That was the case for me anyway. It really sets…

I agree I absolutely love my food scales. They've helped me so much. In the past i'd just throw anything on my plate and not think about how much I was actually having. I measure pretty much everything now!
