Hi there, I am a recent rejoinder to mfp and have done we in the past as well as a good few others! I found mfp by far the best, we was very complicated, but here I can eat and log maintain Macros and other nutrients I want to track. I also feel that as its not just a community of people trying to lose you get the best…

Hi there, I'm recently back after deliberately losing my days for a fresh start. I had lost 4.5stones and so far I have put 3.5 back on! On day 2 of fresh start. I don't have young family anymore but I teach and tutor after school have my grandson at weekends so still pretty full on. When I was successful in losing I was…

you are looking really good! Really see a big difference in your shoulders, tummy and hip areas! well done! It took me a while to realise the photos were side by side....I thought it was someone else beside you taking the photo as you look so different!!! Those photos must really inspire you to keep going when you see what…

what an amazing story....you really made me smile when I read it, even before I got to the pics! incredible....checking out some of your links right now!

Had a look at your last few days, and I noticed too that your sodium levels are high, that could cause you to hold on to water. I was in a similar spot a couple of years back and it turned out I was ill.....didn't know this until I was in pain! now on meds for ulcer and IBS since getting that sorted and joining MFP and…

evenings are my danger times too!! I built my snacks into my plan so that I still have a "treat" at night, eg salted popcorn, cheese and crackers with strawberries, doritos and salsa. So my calories are split almost into 4 meals rather than 3. I don't seem to get cravings this time round but I have a supply of Atkins…

I've been reading lots about sugar today... My whole adult life has been a constant battle with weight but this time round I am tracking my sugar and have lost what I think is an amazing chunk of blubber since july this year. Also I am never hungry or have cravings since keeping my sugar in check. I have cut back fruit to…

moving in the water is harder than moving through air as there is more resistance!! so yes it counts!! doesn't matter what technique you use! I can't believe the rudeness of some people...you pay your money to use the pool same as anyone else. I started swimming in the summer for the first time in years and couldn't even…

Hi there, in total I want to lose about 100 but couldn't bring myself to put the full goal on MFP!!!...I've done 24 so far since middle of July this year and I am obsessive now!!! Had nearly a whole lifetime of losing , putting on more, losing again, putting more on again so now it is not a diet, it is a healthy lifestyle…

I'm having a bit of trouble believing this..... how does vinegar "alkalise" the body? Vinegar no matter if it is apple cider, balsamic or non-brewed, it is ethanoic acid in an aqueous solution which is a weak acid with a pH of 4. which is most definitely is not alkaline. I am a chemist. Acid hydrolyses fats into fatty…

I read something on a thread recently and to paraphrase, it suggested for those overweight the immediate goal should be to drop weight and not get tied up with increasing muscle, that should be for when you are closer to your goal weight. I think that is quite a sensible suggestion and much easier to motivate yourself and…

I'm not strictly following Atkins, I like the shakes and the bars for convenience but I am watching my carbs (no bread, potatoes or pasta etc) and I would agree that I do not feel hungry now at all in fact NO cravings!!! it is bizarre but I eat because I know I have to stuff calories in to be healthy but I rarely feel…

I'm getting on a bit so there are a few!!!!!! Neil Young a few weeks ago, for my son's 15th birthday I took him to his first "big" gig (he played in a band so had seen lots of small gigs and this was long before Youtube etc so I took him to Neil Young he must have secretly loved it as he is now 30 (nearly) and he repaid…

hi there, I'm a chemistry teacher at high school and from the point of safety I agree with wearing uniforms. I live in scotland and the general trend for cheap sports clothing worn by the masses for example is an accident waiting to happen in the science lab aside from all the *****iness that goes on over how folk like to…

Hi there, Im 5'2'' with now 99 lbs to lose!!! (it was over100!) but I can't bring myself to put that on my banner!!! I thought I would give myself a bit of an easier goal. Ive only recently re-joined and so far the willpower is still holding....fingers are still crossed!! feel free to add me and I will send you all the…

hi there, I would also encourage you to weigh out / measure ALL your food. I had the same problem before joining MFP thinking that I knew it all after nearly 30 years of losing weight (and gaining it all back and then some!) What I make sure I do is obsessively check my daily intake, (I like the pie chart on the app) and…
