  • Hey Megan, Dieting all day then eating lots in the evening is a common pattern, I think a lot of us have that problem! Have you tried planning your meals for the day & making sure you have something nice to look forward to at the end of the day? I tend to keep a lot of my calories for the evening because I know I'm prone…
  • try a commitment website - like stickk. You commit to a certain amount of weight loss and choose how much money to stake on your being successful. Any week you make your target you pay nothing, if you fail you are charged the amount you have chosen. The money doesn't go to the site, it can go to a friend - or a cause you…
  • good attitude, you can do it!

  • welcome. I was looking to lose about 70-80lbs when I started too. Now I'm 55lbs down - 42 since joining MFP - and hopefully on the home stretch. You can do it too! Best of luck.
  • Hi there, I know the feeling, I used to have that problem, I'd lose a stone then gain it back slowly over the next year, then start losing it again. And over the years it was always a little bit more on than off untl I was in the obese weight category. About 18 months ago I finally got on top it. I'm now using a technique…
  • Hi Jackie, I'm a foodie too. I've tried a few different things over the last year or so, I've been doing Diet Chef recently which works & gets your portion sizes right but the choice gets a bit limited. Hope you find something that worksfor you, feel free to add me for some support, i'm on most days. Best of luck with your…
  • Hi. Lists are useful, as long as you make them realistic - and remember to build some flexibility in so if you miss a day you have the chance to catch up & don't fall into the trap of feeling like you've failed so you may as well take the rest of the day / week off... I've tried lots of different things and found that most…
  • Hi. I'm looking to lose about 20 lbs. Add me if you want support.
  • Hi there, Welcome to mfp. It sounds like you've already made a sensible start, and there's definitely something to be said for moderation but you can also look at the type of treats / takeaway you're having and build them in to your plan. If I go out and have a meal or alcohol I try to go light early in the day or do some…
  • Firstly of all well done for getting on here and setting yourself a tough goal at such a difficult time in your life. It must be really difficult to motivate yourself after your loss, but you've proved your body can conceive and by getting healthy you'll give it the best possible chance of doing it again. For me the weight…
  • Hi there, I'm in central London - not the easiest for dieting! I live seconds away from the tube and still have to pass the chinese a supermarket and 2 corner shops to get home. And that's if I can say no to dinner out at the other end. urgh! Still, so far so good. I've been doing diet chef lately and it's working well…
  • I did my first couple of Zumba classes a few weeks ago on holiday and it was great. It was lots of fun & no one noticed if you got a bit lost as they were too busy thinking about their own steps. Our instructor also said don't worry too much about the steps, just keeping moving and burning calories until you catch up…
