  • I find it easier to factor in the alcohol to my food intake. The more I drink the less I eat. So, if I know I am going out for say 4 pints of beer with the chaps after work, I have around half my daily calorie intake taken up with beer. Still lose weight though if you count it :)

  • The reason you "have yet to see people stealing,lying,or selling themselves for the money to buy a candy bar." is because sugar is cheap and prevalent! If coke was cheap as sugar, and legal, it wouldn't be the problem drug it is today. It would be a different problem drug. I must say I have seen some very ugly scenes…
    in A cheat day is not ok! Comment by not2late March 2011
  • There is no such thing as a cheat day. You can't cheat yourself. For many losing weight is about a lifestyle transformation. That is a very personal thing. If we have our own inner demons and weaknesses we know them well enough and can choose whether to confront or avoid them. Likewise we cannot presume that what demons or…

  • Firstly, if you want help make your diary public so others can read it and give hints and tips. Secondly there are many possible causes. If you read this post http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/186936-shock-veggies-make-you-weigh-more you will see that when I switched to eating a lot of high fibre food for 2 days I…

  • Can I just point out that this post is not intended as scare mongering. It was merely to illustrate how changing the way you normally eat can make an immediate and possibly unexpected change to the number that shows on the scales. I have read post where people daily weigh and then panic if their weight has gone up when…
    in Shock! Veggies make you weigh more! Comment by not2late March 2011
  • I weigh myself daily at the same time of day after being to the loo. I do the daily weigh to I can trend my loss and notice patterns and cause and effect as in this posting here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/186936-shock-veggies-make-you-weigh-more.
    in When should/do you weigh yourself? Comment by not2late March 2011
  • It seems that any "healthy" food can be "ruined" by adding stuff to it. I take my oatmeal with water, pinged in the microwave whilst dressing.

  • Having read Sandras comment I took a look at your diary too. You aren't approaching your 1200 cal target at all. You are eating a maintenance diet for your weight hence no loss. If you look at your diary you will see that if you eat 1/2 - 2/3rds of what you are eating you will hit your target. So instead of 12 dim sun,…
    in About to give up.. Comment by not2late February 2011
  • 1) Your body has natural weekly weight patterns. That is why unless you are going to actually graph your weight daily to find a trend, like I'm doing, weekly weighing at the same time and day is best. Some would say don't weigh yourself, just weight your food! Count your food scales and your bathroom scales will look after…
    in About to give up.. Comment by not2late February 2011
  • Keep mine in the bathroom for a daily weigh. I weigh myself daily so I can plot my daily weight on the graph. I have done this before and have found that it has shown up regular weight fluctuation patterns for the week and the month. You can start to see your bodies natural rhythms. I also like graphs :)
    in Where do you keep yours??? Comment by not2late February 2011
  • A few years ago I did a home made version of the MFP thing weighing myself everyday. I found as I guy I had a weekly and monthly weight rhythm. Stay with the program and you will find it wiil work out.
    in GAINED 5LBS IN 5 DAYS!?!?!?!?!! :-( Comment by not2late February 2011
  • Definiately count. A calorie is a calorie. Watch out for fruit juices and count those too. Many calories in juices.
    in to count fruits? Or not?? Thats the question. lol Comment by not2late February 2011
  • Setting an example is a good idea. Get her to join MFP so that she can track your progress and see how you can eat well and lose weight. Make sure that when you eat together you are eating the scrummy things she would like to eat. You know how you can eat anything and eat well and lose weight. Let her see that in action,…
    in How can I help a friend? Comment by not2late February 2011

I found that there was a weekly weight loss pattern and a monthly weight loss pattern. just keep going, wyou may be pleasantly surprised if you follow MFP "rules" how your weight may start to drop again! Nest set of tears may be of Joy!
    in Scales: the cause of misery and confusion. Help! Comment by not2late February 2011
  • I was making no disticinction between the other nutritional values contained in refined sugar vs orange juice. At the end of the proverbial day, if you consume 500 cals of white bread or 500cals of finest whole meal bread, the calorie intake will be more or less the same. The fact seems to be that consuming low processed…
    in calories in vs. calories out question Comment by not2late February 2011
  • You have hit the nail on the head about finding out for your self, finding what works for you. It seems that the less processed the food is, the fewer foreign substances like preservatives, artificial sweeters and other chemicals that may affect mood, health and metabolism. Sugar is a processed/refined food. If you can…
    in calories in vs. calories out question Comment by not2late February 2011
  • You will find many different answers and opinions many of which may seem contradictory and all of which will have armies of ardent, vociferous followers. Some will insist that there are healthy foods and unhealthy foods, and that junk food is bad. They will also insist that the GI, Glycemic index of carbohydrates is…

  • Don't bother. Being the right weight is not about buying weight loss products. It is about leading a heathy lifestyle and eating heathily. You can spend a fortune on products, and then have to wean your self off them and on to a healthy way of eating. If you go back to your old ways then you put weight on again. The…
