Hello lovely, that's such a sad post. Depression is such a nasty disease, like a serpent squeezing all the good thoughts out of you. Losing weight will make it easier to deal with depression and exercise is good for temporarily lifting mood but to beat it for good you have to deal with the depression. I can't pretend to…

Not sure if I'll be able to do 20 but I'll have a go. I'd be happy with any sustained loss I'm bouncing up And down near my starting weight at the moment.

Hey, I don't tell any one either, MFP is my support network. I haven't told anyone I'm looking to lose weight, it's none of their business really and TBH I don't want to bore them. I also don't want other people watching what I eat and sometime even close friends will try to lead you astray 'go on it's just one slice of…

I've been guessing most of my measurements but am going to get myself an american sized cup to start measuring more as everything on here seems to be cup sizes. I agree, portion size is everything in weight loss. The only other time I have lost weight I did it by reducing my portions of everything by a third. After a while…

Thanks guys! General circuit training it is. I just thought it might be a few more calories as there is so much running around but I guess if it is then underestimating the calories will only give me a pleasant surprise come weigh in day :happy:

Thank you for the reminder why I'm doing this. I've just had a bad 10 days or so and have started thinking that it doesn't matter and I could just stay at the weight I am and just be a big girl, but I DON'T want to have a heart attack at 31, 51 or 71 and I can help prevent that happening by making small changes today, I…

Great! bump

Well done for doing so well with your calories and exercise so far! No one is gunning for exercise and reduced portion size all the time. MFP is a lifestyle change and in real life some days we're tired, don't have time or just can't be bothered. Take the long term view. So relax, rest and come back tomorrow, or the next…

Hi there, the BMI charts really don't work if you have muscles - I know many Olympic rowers show up as overweight and professional rugby players as obese! If I were you I'd just use them as a scale and a way to track your progress. Having a lower BMI is better (to a point obviously), but the bands aren't that accurate or…

This is my first month so a great way to start! I'm in x
