I'm eating whatever I fancy atm & logging it. Re lifting I use crutches and and a wheelchair so do a lot with my arms doing that! How can I do to help my chest as since I lost the weight from 10stone to 9st6 I feel more boney on my chest and don't like it!x

Sorry don't know what you mean x

[/quote] Way to go hope it all evens itself out soon for u [/quote] Thank you, was able to maintain since may 28th no problem but lost the 6lbs from 24th July - 8th august due to sickness from op, my meds & lack of appetite (had that with all my ops). It's now just trying to get back up from 9st6 to 10st x

I am eating sensibly, I drink a lot of water and the occasional fizzy or flavoured water I am limited with my movement atm due to my op recovery. I can't have alcohol anyway due to my meds and before then I didn't drink much anyway. Snack wise I go for fruit, granola bars and sunbite crisps.

For those asking about my knee op, I had my medical plica partially removed, my nerves rerouted and the joint cleaned out or what's left of it! I have severe arthritis to the point that's it's worn away my cartilage! The next step is a replacement. I'm on a lot of meds atm, I'm on cocodamol, tramadol, naproxen, & oral…

[/quote] Fat is fine. Nuts contain healthy fats. And recent research has been overturning the old thinking on too much fat being detrimental to health. [/quote] What about bagged nuts from the supermarket? I assumed they would be bad x

I have either that, Cheerios or 2 slices of granary or wholemeal toast with marmite or peanut butter or lime marmalade. All nuts seem high on fat though so wasn't sure if they were a good thing? I do have ice cream sometimes but not often tbh x

Hi I am keeping track using myfitnesspal like I have been since last year. I just want to gain back to 10stone but do it right. I have upped my calories and eating what I term 'naughty' treats. I do use olive oil, but not butter as don't like it x

[/quote] If you plan to do any strength workouts, MFP's macro setting for protein can actually be a little low. Things like greek yogurt, chicken, pork, turkey, and cottage cheese have lots of protein for the calories. There are also protein powers available that can be used in baking, shakes, and such. [/quote] I'm not…

[/quote] Those are the targets MFP gives you for meeting protein, fats, and carbohydrates. You should consider the protein and fat targets as minimums - your body needs adequate protein and fat for basic functioning. [/quote] I manage all the points, occasionally going over carbs fat and sugars but not proteins as it seems…

The salmon and dil Philly I've only found in light! I don't like butter, always used clover light as not a real fan of marg etc. I have skimmed milk as that's what we have in the house and I'm not buying it plus I'm on a really limited income ????x

What's macro targets?

I don't really want to make it public & I don't have pecs I'm a women lol! I can give you a idea this is yesterday's: Morning bowl of either 30g Special K berrys with 125mls skimmed milk 1 piece of granary bread toasted with 10g clover light and marmite Mug of Nescafé with 1 sweetener and 20mls milk Lunch 2 crumpets with…

I'm 31 and 5ft6 x

What would you suggest?x

Thank you, it's been a tough year! I love being smaller. I was pretty active with the weightloss journey using gym equipment advised by my surgeon, weights & swimming. I can't wait to go back as really miss it. Originally to maintain I was having 1,600 and that worked fine (with dietician assistence). I was maintaining…

I have now upped it again and it's now over 2,000 calories! Since I've lost weight I can't eat as much! Should I add in a few more 'naughty' things into the mix? I just don't want to go back to bad eating as now have 4-5 good days then the others have a few naughties in like chips or chocolate x

Yes, I've used myfitnesspal all the way through and still do x
