  • yep 14 pounds = 1 stone. and there is 16 ounces to 1lb so 13 stone 7lb = 189 lb to convert to Kg = 85.7
  • after exercise burn your nets as man should be at least 1500 calories its 1200 for women
  • I am sorry you lost your ring, I hope you find it soon. This is the reason mine is on a chain around my neck - I am scared to wear it as I don't want to loose it. I won't get it re-sized yet as I am hoping to loose another approx 45lb so I want to wait for a bit.
  • mine are very large - so I have "issues" with mine going south now! I have gone from a 26/8 to a 20 on top half and the girls have definatly finally got smaller, hoping they will get smaller still I have gone down from 38 to 36 band - cup size is a bit harder to judge - I used to wear a 38KK as "best fit" as that was the…
  • I'm happy to help too!
  • I came pretty close the other night, i did a 13.1 mile training session last sunday night before dinner. I logged hrm calories of 1465 put me to -700 calories!!! tomorrow is the main event so I'll be logging similar calorie burn
  • I am an ex-exmployee and have worked in more than one store in the uk. if we run out, it's off the menu unless we can get extras from another store near by. If you were caught picking stuff up off the floor etc and serving it to a customer - instant dismissal- I saw a manager loose their job over this. At the time (about…
  • I dont run - I power walk, I can do 5K in 42-43 minutes which is about 4.5mph i am doing a walking half marathon a week tomorrow! I have lost a fair bit of weight but I have also gone from a size 24 trousers to a size 14 - in eight months so it can work.
  • the info i can find is that stella cidre is 150 calories for every 568 ml. and magners is 233 for a pint. I think on weight watchers they count it as 8 points because of the alchol/sugar effects. it is very nice though, I don't like lager or beer so much prefer cider.
  • brilliant - I've gone from 38kk to 36J - it is a great feeling
  • I am a 41 year old mum of two (2.5 and 4.5) the eldest started started school this week and I work full-time as well. I started my journey at the begining of the year, there are times when I struggle and other times it seems fairly easy, but that is just life. I started doing work outs on the wii and then did 30 day shred,…
  • 1200 calories is the minimum reccomended by the world health organisation for women and because of this MFP will not go below it no matter how much you want to loose. For men the minimum is 1500 their research has decided that this figure is the minimum needed to sustain life at a basic healthy level.
  • MFP builds in less calories based on how much you have set your weekly weightloss target to be. the important thing to remember is the total number of caloreis you have each day is based on calories eaten + calories burnt = net calories - the net calories are effectively the calories you have given your body to use for the…
  • I would make following suggestions - break your goals down into smaller targets - 100 is a big number and when I started I needed to loose about 85 pounds just to get into a normal bmi range. My starting weight was 232 so I set my target as under 200 - one-derland, having reached that my target is now 175, once I reach…
  • Another Londoner here!
  • I have used McDonalds for breakfast on occasions - certainly here in the UK their porridge is not too bad if you dont add syrup or jam to it. its 195 calories with nothing added - I have this and add a fruit bag and a bottle of water which = 237 calories It has got easier in uk mcdonalds as they have signed up to display…
  • It is a slow process, you cannot expect change to happen over night, there are things you can do to help yourself but as you are just starting out, I would suggest making the changes gradually - this way you can find what works for you and your body. So the one thing lots of people forget is water, water and more water -…
  • I have just turned 41 and have two girls of 4.5 & 2.5. I have always had problems with weight and back issues due to excessive cleavage (I was in a uk 36FF @ 16!) My mum always had poor eating habits and I didn't really learn to do much better until I left home. I slowly gained weight until I reached 15.5 stone (217) and I…

  • No matter how slow you go, your still lapping those on the couch! meal : I really enjoyed by dinner the other night grilled fresh tomatos from the garden on one slice of toast with a light grating of cheese.
  • I have set a longer term mini goal - my walking half marathon in October. my shorter term goal is a weight loss target orgionally it was to get to 175 by my birthday but that was pushing it, so it has been re-set to a more realistic 185 by begining of september. I have a lot to loose so I need a more reachable target to…

  • Dining out:... Well i start by looking at the deseert menu - if there is something there I really want then I don't have a starter. if I know I won't be having a dessert then I will look at the starters, but I do avoid looking until the descision is made. I like prawns so will often choose them as a starter, but if I have…
