MFP says for me to lose 0.5lb a week I should eat 1440 which I'm happy doing, I suppose :) I will cut down, and see if that makes a difference- it should I think.

I think the same about 119lb. So what do you guys think? Ditch 1615 and just go by what MFP recommends?

140? Why?

I said at max, 112lb, but realistically I am aiming for 119lb :) I just feel I look better in the 8 stone range, but I agree, 112lb might be a bit too low! Someone I know told me that too. I'll stick with 119lb.

Thanks guys, I will not tick the trend values then :) That's all my questions answered thanks.

I'm a healthy weight currently, so measuring I don't tend to get much result from. Clothes work, yes, some things are a bit baggy. I am just conditioned to the scale though, and also I have been diagnosed with OCD for years so it's not as easy as that.

Thanks peeps. Number 3, I meant only using it to literally enter the weight, not bother with any other settings or focusing on the bmi or the body fat. If that makes it clearer. One last question: Do I tick the box that says ''Use trend values''?

Why?

Tell her you are feeling self conscious as you have gained weight, and you don't want to be judged on it.

Thanks for your help everyone, weighing everyday it is and I'm going to download Libra which coincidentally is my starsign.

Sorry, I should of said this, I try very hard not to weigh myself that often. It's just when I do, most of the time it is on the up. And I weigh naked, with heavy jewellery off.

Sure

Not a troll at all, actually. Yeah, I am 22, Which is considered an adult in the country I live in. I think I've been pretty detailed in what I'm asking. ''Just wondering if any of you are getting stick from calorie counting''. That's the question. It is all about discovering if I am the only person being judged on how…

If you think a person who asks two different questions in two different forums as they are not knowledgeable in those areas they are questioning, is a troll, then maybe you want to revisit how you judge people.

Okay, sorry, my bad, not a clean diet, but a healthy, balanced diet. Sorry for mixing the two up, had no idea there was a difference, now I do.

I think you should reread it. Look at the title. I haven't even started yet. I personally think one unhealthy meal a day compared to the rest of a day of healthy eating is something called a healthy lifestyle. ONE or two healthy snacks compared to the rest of the day healthy eating. That is pretty healthy to me,…

Just guesstimate :smile:

Just limit the Mcdonald's- I mean have it once a week most and make it a treat, and by that I mean have it within your calories. It's really highly calorific so once a week is enough really, I mean sometimes I will have a piece of cake or something, get halfway through it decide I want the rest later or maybe no more at…

Kamikaze- Owl City my fave song

I eat 1615. And I don't eat exercise calories back. I don't have much to lose. About 8lb or at most 16lb.

No it doesn't work with calorie counting really, they are complete opposites- calorie counting doesn't really come into play with SW.

Thank you cheekitty! I try and weigh only once a week myself, I do have anxiety in general, recovering agorphobic and I do also have OCD. I personally think it is quite normal to become obsessed with the scale especially if one is calorie counting. It just shows we want to change ourselves for the better that much, which…

STS. I don't tend to lose weight from that area....

Thanks for your opinion guys :) sorry Marchmallow and Honeybee_kisses had bad experiences, it is expensive and just to mainly weigh on a pair of scales. I know how that guilt feels, it is so not a healthy way to be teaching ourselves, being brainwashed into having a piece of cake or whatever and feeling guilty. Why should…

Eat when you are hungry. If your stomach is rumbling, eat. I eat when I am hungry because I don't want to ignore my body, and it's annoying going to sleep with a rumbling stomach. Not able to sleep with a rumbling stomach.
