My peak Jan weight was 121.5Kg 3rd Jan. When I had a medical 2 years ago they suggested that 93-95Kg would be a target to aim for. The NHS BMI calculator suggests between, 60-81Kg. So I guess if I am aiming for 90 or less then that is a drop of a third of my weight, which is a fair bit. I use a Tanita BC-1500 segmental…

Whoopsie, you are quite correct, I transposed my Kg and Lb!!!. Too late to edit it now! Apparently the current research indicates that 800 cals is acceptable for a short period, which this is. More importantly it is 800 cals of freshly prepared food. Advice is continually changing based on the latest information.

Gave up giving up.

Don't overthink it. If you have entered your details into MFP and it gives you a number to aim for a day, just aim for that number. If you are 100 cals over or under a day it's no big deal. You don't need to weigh yourself everyday either. Just budget your eating to the MFP set target and you will lose weight.

Christina, I don't seem to be able to message you. May I continue?

Todays weigh-in is 233.7. So, that's 8.6kg/19.3lb for month one. That will do nicely. :) Hopefully I will be able to do half that for Feb!

Hi, today is 237.4 ☺

This week 239. This first week was absolutely typical for me. Of course it was mostly water that shifted. The 1kg/2lb this week is much more in line with the 1000 calorie daily deficit that I am currently running. My profile should be open for anyone to see what my results are, and, where possible, I weigh daily. You can't…

Daily. Can't have enough data points when looking at food vs exercise vs weight. Same time in the morning, just up and empty.

Probably quite unhelpful, but I quit refined sugars. Sugar is, for some as indicated earlier, addictive like cocaine. If interested there are more articles here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_addiction http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/0/21835302 http://hereandnow.wbur.org/2015/01/07/sugar-health-research . So, as it is an…

Check out www.hundredpushups.com . It is a programme to take anyone from zero push ups to 100 in 6 weeks. Also from that site are links to sister programmes of 200 sit ups, 200 squats and others, all aimed at getting you to the target in 6 weeks. 6 years ago I did the previous 6 programmes at the same time :) You can…

Yes it does. Research has shown that 15 mins shivering can be equivalent to an hours moderate exercise.The thing is, the body needs to keep a constant core temperature. In a warm environment we sweat to cool, in a cool environment we burn fat to stay warm, and that uses calories. If you turn your heating down you will save…

Hopefully I just squeezed in as my weigh in day was Friday 1 Jan ☺

Hi, I'm Martin from the UK. I'm 58, 5'11", and at my weigh-in Friday 1st Jan I was at my heaviest at around 253lb. I have used MFP in earnest a couple of times in the past, probably losing about 20lb and then putting it back on, and a bit more. So.....I guess my target is around 182lb. How am I going to get there?....hmmm.…

Everyone has their own personal goals or target to help them on their way. My target is not a weight but a 20 year old pair of 501's :) I just keep trying them on as a reminder :) The other thing is that as my weight falls I donate to charity shops the now too big clothes so there is no way back :) You can find something…

Go lo-cal and just drink straight shots ;)

Looks like a neutral response to me.

Unity of mind and body in a balanced personal ecology.

Everyone has their own personal metabolism and so eating regimes should be customised to your own needs. If you fill in all your data correctly and your goals in MFP you can use that as a startig point. Stick to the numbers MFP gives you for a month and see if you have lost the amount MFP says you should. If you have not…

As a Brit reading these comments I really can't imagine what it must be like living somewhere where people are so scared of the streets, parks and countryside that you'd feel the need to carry weapons around all the time. I think I'd end up staying indoors comfort eating ;)

When I occasionally get my act together I cycle to work. Yes, I work from home a lot, but if I were to commute I would get up a couple of hours earlier to get the train to the office. So, when working from home I try to get up at commute time and go for a bike ride...that ends up at home, at work :)

Just a thought......some of the issues that we have around food and nutrition is around processed food both denaturing the nutrients contained within the food themselves. In addition the processing of foods often add fats, carbohydrates, salt and sugars radically changing the nutritional balance of the food. When we cook…

It's all about you and "listening" to your body's needs which you may find varies by day/week/month. Play with eating plans till you find the one that's right for you. Just track your calories against your needs. Good luck!
-
Planning what you are going to eat for the day or week in advance is good. It helps you to have the right foods available.
-
I use my android phone and app. If I can't record a food BEFORE it goes in my mouth it doesn't go in. As to whether it is worth getting a phone just to have an app to help you lose weight, look at it this way. If you already have a phone you are paying out something already. Then look at how much it would cost to do…

Losing weight is a long term thing and as has been suggested you will see weekly variations. If you run with the programme long enough you may see patterns develop in the up and down-ness on your weight loss graph and, when you reach goal weight you may also see a regular fluctuation. That is all ok. I put your details…
