Hiya! I'm 29 next week and getting married in June! I thought the same, I know I'm not going to lose everything I want to before then but I can make a good start! I live in Barnsley, whereabouts are you? :smile:

If your pre-packed sandwich is on wholemeal bread, you can use the bread as your healthy extra B and take 6 syns off the syn value of the sandwich. I joined SW in June and I like the meetings as they keep me accountable. I've recently started logging on here too mainly out of curiosity (how does the SW plan translate to…

By netting between these numbers, pax means: calories consumed (stuff you eat and drink) - calories burned (exercise) = Net calories. MFP works this out for you on your news feed page. So if you'd eaten 1200 calories during the day and exercised 300 away, you'd only be netting 900 calories, which isn't enough for anyone!

I was pointed to this site today by another MFP'er - here's a page dedicated to 'toning'! http://www.aworkoutroutine.com/muscle-tone/

That site is BRILLIANT! I've been wondering where to start and this told me everything I needed to know. Thanks for sharing it! :flowerforyou:

Coincidence, I started up 30DS myself on Sunday. Can I join? :) So today will be Day 3 level 1.

I actually had some success with doing just as you suggest. Breakfast : shake AM snack Lunch: shake PM snack 600-700 cal dinner But I got bored of it. Part of my problem is that I kinda like not planning things, and this is my downfall. I lost about 10 lbs while doing it though (about a month properly). Pretty sure I…

I met my other half online, but not through a dating site. We met on a forum based on a topic in which we had a mutual interest. At least that way you know you've got at least one thing in common :smile:

I actually make a pasta salad for lunch most days. *cue screams of derision* 75g cooked pasta ~40g chicken breast, lean steak or pork loin cut into chunks/strips 50g carrots sliced, diced, whatever as much lettuce as i want 10g extra light mayo delicious! I often add something like sweet chilli sauce or peri peri…

26 and looking to lose another 70 lbs ish :)

I thought I was the only one! When I'm eating out with my friends and one of them has salad with cucumber on it, I have to get them to move it to the other end of the table!

Because MFP has already calculated your calorie goal for you to lose weight anyway? Remember, if you've set up MFP to lose 1lb a week then if you eat at your calorie goal, you will lose weight even if you don't do any exercise at all!

Wrong on so many levels. LOVE is meant to be about more than looks. I don't know if you got the wrong end of the stick or whatever - good luck to you in your relationship - that's probably what SHOULD happen. HOWEVER, your mrs came to you, talked to you, you discussed it and decided to make a change, for yourself and for…

NicNac is a nickname from when I was a kid ( my real name is Nicola). It comes from a nursery rhyme (This old man, he played one... NicNac paddy whack, give a dog a bone) and it's stuck with me. I use this username a lot and 86 is the year I was born :)

At the top of the page, go to 'Tools', then go to 'BMI'. It should already have your current height and weight in the boxes. Just click 'calculate', and it should tell you where you are now in the range, and what your 'ideal' weight range is. BMI is a good indicator, but it's no good for shorties like me (5ft 1).

This is a My Fitness Pal forum. People wouldn't have joined MFP/be posting in the forum if they didn't have some kind of 'problem' with food, one way or another. What's the point in having a go like that? Some people may already be at their goal, some may be nearly there, and a lot of other people are still on their way.…

I do, not sure about the other person! The part that got me was when she originally said 'muscle doesn't weight more than fat'. In capital letters. Like I'M the idiot...

I don't think you understood what I meant. MUSCLE DOES WEIGH MORE THAN FAT BY VOLUME. Thanks.

Haha, exactly! so 1 sq inch of muscle would weigh more than 1 sq inch of fat, thanks! As above, more volume of fat, less volume of muscle. Edit: as muscle's denser (as above), that makes complete sense!

Surely going by your own story, muscle weights more than fat. If your weight is staying the same, but your clothes are getting bigger on you (ie you're getting smaller), then your frame is smaller but you still weigh the same. I don't think it's about 5lbs = 5lbs at all. Of course it does. I think it's in relation to say 1…

Hi! I'm nearly your twin! HW: 224 CW: 214.2 TW: 140 (for now) Age 25 (26 in 3 weeks) Height 5' 1 I'm from Sheffield, but lived in Donny for 3 years with my other half. We've just recently bought a house in Barnsley but still not too far away! :)

Do you often find being condescending helps you to win friends and influence people?

No worries :)

Under. Calories in food eaten - calories burnt during exercise = net calories :)

HW/SW: 224 lbs CW: 214 lbs GW: 140 lbs Height: 5ft 1 Age: 25 (nearly 26!)

Woop woop! :D Just for all you non-English people, there's not really any such thing as an 'english accent'. Accents over here are VERY regional. From Scotland to Cornwall, from Ireland to Hull, everyone has a different accent! Even then, differnet parts of Scotland have different accents for example. Scouse, Geordie,…

I've saved about £90 over the past year at a site called TopCashBack - does anyone else use it or Quidco or something similar? LOVE cashback! Every little helps!

This sounds like me and my OH too. We're both into football (or soccer!), and met each other on a related forum. We only lived half an hour away from each other, but we chatted with the group and occasionally alone for about 3 or 4 months before we met. I wouldn't classify that 'chatting' as 'dating'. We met in person on…

Hi everyone, I'm 5ft 1 and lost 10 lbs last year. In reality, I lost 23 lbs between February and May. After that I went on holiday, got lazy, my Dad passed away and then it was Christmas. All in all a pretty sucky 2011, so I'm actually glad I'm still down on this time last year at all! Went to the docs a couple of days ago…
