I just had a little flick through your diary and these are some things I noticed. No judgement btw, this is all straight from your diary. 1. You ate a lot of sodium yesterday. Sodium causes water retention and could easily account for the weight gain today. 2. On Monday you had "a scoop" of protein powder. There is a…

I can fit in my jeans :)

$52 Hmm I feel quite innocent now :)

Hi all :) I'm 21 and from St Helens (near Liverpool), currently in Nottingham for university though. I'm not really looking to lose any more weight, I have lost about a stone since last July using MFP and now I want to just decrease my body fat % a bit to be less 'jiggly' :)

There is no "appropriate". If you feel comfortable in a bikini wear one :)! You don't have to be a specific size, its all about confidence. If you feel awkward and self concious don't bother, but if you feel good go for it.

I'm not, but I did sober October for macmillan. A lot of it depends on your friends and family supporting you. A lot of my friends thought it was silly and tried to get me to have a drink. Not having the support there makes it harder but I did it. So you can do it :)

St Helens here, moving down to Portsmouth in a few months though

Could it be dyspepsia (acid reflux/heartburn)? You didn't mention a burning sensation, but all your symptoms fit with the other dyspepsia symptoms, and the things you said make it worse definitely fit.

I'm 21 :)

50 shades of grey. Haha no not really. Actually reading the women of the cousins war, it's fascinating I love it Eta: someone asked about book collections, I have two shelves and a few piles, also have about six boxes full in the garage of old ones that were my dads and grandparents

Other than being ten burpees short one day (dodgy knee) I've done every day so far If you can do it, keep going! Great for burning calories and improving fitness. If you can't add any more, just keep doing the number you are up to, worth it!

I would say wait, more because of the light-headedness than anything else.

I have no idea how it works, but it has happened to me many times. I always put about half a stone on when I am on holiday because I like to pig out on everything I can, but pretty much as soon as I come home and go back to my normal eating habits the weight goes. I haven't been on holiday since joining MFP so I couldn't…

They are recipes rather than meal plans, but skinnytaste.com is really good

On the days you are going out try and choose something lighter off the menu, maybe look at the menu online in advance to help you choose. For Christmas, personally I'm just going to eat everything then cut back for the next week. If you don't want to do that and want to keep to your goal, load up on vegetables and some…

Well done!!!!!

Oh god I hope those are jokes! People aren't actually that stupid right? Please say they aren't!

Thanks guys! It made me so happy in the shop seriously :)

I don't usually log spices, more because I just chuck them in and don't measure them. Maybe I should log them, I never really thought about it.

Bumping for reasons ;)

I come online every day so feel free to add me :)

I can't stand visible fat on meat, I have to remove every last visible bit, especially bacon. And I only like the tiny little crispy fries that nobody else seems to want. I just love it when they are hollow with no potato-y bit. Oh and cold baked beans, straight from the tin. YUM!! Seriously, I could eat a whole can.

OMG I want a ham and cheese toastie so bad now! Guess that's lunch for tomorrow sorted!

skinnytaste.com has some really good recipes. The soups are amazing!

I've been on loads of different pills (kept switching because of issues such as acne) and its never made me gain weight. None of my friends have gained weight on the pill either. Like most people have said, it doesn't directly cause weight gain it can just make you more hungry.

Day 2 done :)

Oh its hard to think of just seven. Especially hard when you have to think of three meals. Hmmm maybe Potatoes Carrots Chicken Peas Bread Cheese Pasta But I would also want things like herbs, spices, butter and condiments. It would be too hard to just live off seven ingredients :(

God I had forgotten how hard burpees are haha. But done it now for today :) Bring on tomorrow!!
