I only use the app on my phone, and any day from the past 4 you can see my cals for exercise aren't showing. Maybe I'll go via the Internet on my phone and see if it makes a difference.

i used it for 14months straight and lost 70something pounds lol, and then just used it now and again. In the past year about 5 pounds have creeped back on, mainly due to weight i put on over xmas, but i'm being more strict with it now to lose the 5 pounds plus a little bit more :) going on holiday in June so would like to…

These all sound great thanks :)
-
Thanks for the advice i completely forgot about hot chocolates! I'll have to stock up now :) I think it just hasn't helped with Christmas just gone and everything, so there's chocolate everywhere around the house haha x

I like my boobs and my legs :) oh and my hair (most days :))

Coffee, but doesn't always work

About 2000 if i'm at work (I supervise a shop so on my feet all day) or at uni (a lot of walking) and if not then about 1700, but today was my day off but I've been shopping and done a lot of housework plus some revision (burning calories with my brain ;) haha) so I don't feel so guilty about going over by about 100.

All UK sizes.. Was 20 on bottom, and 40DD. Now a 10-12 on bottom and a 36C. I kinda miss my boobs haha! Love getting size 10 in clothes tho :)

I have been lucky to have a supportive boyfriend who has also lost a lot of weight himself, he understands when I say "I shouldn't eat anymore today" just so much as "screw it i'm gonna have a glass of wine because I beat my goal". I have had so not so supportive people state that I eat too much cereal, and that when THEIR…

5"10 Pros- Looking lighter than what I weigh, being able to eat more haha! Cons- If I wear heels i'm taller than my boyfriend, however I don't even own heels because of my size 8/9 (UK) feet! So main con is shoe shopping takes twice as long.
-
If your chest is hurting just through walking, then I think the best thing to do is to just keep upping your walking for now, until your body gets used to exercise again. I think the 30DS is more for "fit" people who wanna "up their game" so to speak lol Thats just what I think, personally I haven't tried the 30DS, and the…

Yup definitely! I was unemployed the whole time I was overweight, once I had lost 50 pounds I somehow managed to get a job? Not sure if I had gained confidence, or sometimes getting a job is based on looks! I have also been "hit on"...alot! I never used to get hit on...EVER. Me and my boyfriend (who i've been with almost 6…

Ive noticed that you go over sodium alot, i know that it has been your birthday etc but even a week ago you were close to the maximum. If this isn't a regular thing I wouldn't worry about it, but 7000mg is a lot of sodium so you could be retaining water :) Also I reached a plateau just before Christmas. After not reeeally…

if you weigh pasta before its cooked, at 100g, its around 330 calories. I have no idea after if thats what your basing it on, but i always weigh mine before i cook it :) I usually stick to around 40g, around 132 cals.
-
I wouldn't worry about it. In the UK, the recommended daily allowance for sugar is 90g, and your not hitting near that. My sugar intake sometimes reached 120, then i realised how much of a sweet tooth I had! I've got it down to about 70g a day from fruit and yoghurt mostly, and I think its a good balance as MFP's…
-
I always check (or you can just tell its wrong) and thats why its soo annoying! :P And yeh im partially a perfectionist too, its like when only protien, carbs and fat are put in but i like to know my sugar too!
-
Don't beat yourself up over it, people eat that sorta thing 3/4 times a week and they don't see the effects for years, so one time isn't going to do you any harm! Before I "changed my ways" I used to eat a lot of pizza, and I still had low blood pressure!
-
It is quite possible, he weighed 330 pounds! When I first started at 252 pounds, I lost 10 pounds in my first week without changing much. Now I only lose about half a pound a week. Also, have you not seen the biggest loser?! Although I agree that it might not have necessarily been a healthy way of doing things.
-
yep! used to have to get either a size 9 (uk) or a wide 8. 8's now always fit, and are sometimes even too big meaning I have to get a 7! (btw i'm 5'10 tall so that's why I have a bigger shoe size for a woman :))
-
Me and my boyfriend have both lost a lot of weight, and he has also gained a lot of muscle through strength training. Through me being lighter and him being stronger lets just say there's a lot more we can do ;D

You can't spot reduce the fat on your stomach or arms, but I have noticed my bingo/bat wings go down recently since I : - Started to reduce my body fat %. High protein/low carbs/low fat. MFP has a good tool on the mobile app which can track your protein/fat/carbs. I try and keep it 45% carbs/25% fat and 30% protein. (to…

Yeah I should go buy some gum! Brushing my teeth I haven't tried so I'm gonna try that!
-
That's really rude! From your pictures you look great! You can really see your transformation and look nothing but healthy to me :)
-
Agree. I'm around 10lbs away from my goal and am eating 1650 a day, and cos of my work/at uni i'm on my feet a lot so I burn off the majority of these calories. I lost the majority of my weight last year, but this year so far I lost around 10pounds in Jan (net 1200), then in Feb (again net cals 1200) I only lost 2 pounds…
-
I would love to quit! I have tried, but I get very tetchy without a Pepsi Max or Diet Coke during the day. Might be something to do with the fact that i'm a student; as I have found I have drunk more of the stuff since I started University. Maybe i'll be able to quit when I graduate lol!
-
My profile picture is mine :) I'm currently 180, i've lost 74lbs so far, and I wanna be 168. I'm 5'10 :) In my after picture on my profile I was about 195lbs? I need to upload a new one!
-
im definitely going to be doing this more now, I've done SOME weights, but not a lot. I have noticed however since I have been doing sit ups, jeans are fitting much better in this past month and ive only lost about 7lbs? Also push ups are definitely making a difference to my "bingo wings" haha!
