I do love mfp forums! But there's sex with an attractive man on the cards I think I'll take that, I'm not that generous!

You eat less you poop less.

Utter waste of money. Only benefit is the seller makes money. You are on MFP which has it's own system of losing weight. The system MFP uses is setting a calorie deficit that you would lose weight only by eating less, then if you exercise you eat your exercise calories. For this reason, here on MFP it is unlikely you will…

For me, I currently run around a 12-13 minute mile. My friend, he runs about a 7 minute mile. Realistically I would want to aim towards a 10 minute mile therefore 5k in around 30 minutes. I did see a thread here saying for the average person 20 minutes is quite a good time and that good runners can do it in i think it was…

and by law the packaging can be 30% off actual information..

Almost agree with you except if your tummy is rumbling you should have probably eaten an hour ago..

No, no, no, no.. You can't gain muscle whilst eating a deficit. What everyone else said though sounds about right.

It suits some people, not all. To me, not eating for two days is the road to anorexia. My lifestyle is not routine at all so it would be difficult to choose days, but it work for other people. If it doesn't feel right for you then its not for you. There are so many ways to find you r calorie deficit healthily, just keep…

Gym membership! Unless you have thousands of pounds to spend on equipment, the cheap stuff is just not worth it.

I'm not a vegetarian but I do enjoy quorn from time to time. Their chicken tikka ready meal is really good when I'm in a hurry and I love their sausages. It's a good fast way of getting protein for lower calories. In terms of weightloss, I'm not a big listener to the whole processed food thing because when it comes down to…

Come with long term goals. Expect change to happen slowly and don't set yourself up for a fail. Trying to change too much at once can lead to failure and disappointment. Small goals over time. Good luck!

Nope. Tampons and painkillers. I tend to lose weight just after my period so the misery is a motivator.

What are your stats? Height? Weight? BFP? If your 4ft tall then your eating too much

I have just gotten over mine. First if all wait for them to heal, this is very important. Now try and alter HOW you run. I've always walked and ran with my toes pointed inwards and got them within a minute of jogging. DO NOT push through the pain, it makes them worse and take longer to heal. I have recently started running…

I use my HRM and get around 200/hr ish and then I finish with cardio after to get it to 400

I have a Polar FT7 and I loooooove it. I got it off Amazon for cheaper than the website.

Wow this is stupid.

Because you don't really have much to lose. People who have amazing results are people who have a long way to go. You're already a good weight for your height so to lose weight you would do so quite slowly. What is your goal? Do you want to look more toned? Have you had your body fat percentage measured? I recommend you…

Yeah a lot of things don't taste as good as they should for the calories they contain!

YOU'RE 6'7?!?!!! Wowee I'm small..

I have a basic weight watchers digital and its always accurate to itself. I see the same numbers. It always moves the direction I expect it depending on my week.

Do both!!! Strength training to maintain your lean muscle so when you lose fat you will still have muscle to reveal. Cardio to improve your cardiovascular health and overall fitness.

I used to feel like that so I booked a program with a trainer so that I went in there with a plan. Now the weights section is just a part of my routine. If you can make yourself look like you know what you're doing no-one will bat an eyelid. The only people I notice in the weights section are the ones who literally don't…

In terms of fitness it's a really good program. It's not about losing weight but by completing it if you then stick to trying harder it will be very helpful in weight loss.

I have the app on my ipad and it whistles at me every night at 8pm but I've never bothered with it. If you're new to exercise it might be quite new but I normally work out a lot longer so personally don't think I'd benefit enough from 7 minutes.

On a strength training day I do a five minute cardio warm up, usually the stationary rower and a ten minute finisher often on the bike. (up to 3x a week) I go to Les Mills Body Combat three times a week and sometimes go for a run or a walk. I'm quite unstructured so my weeks vary but as I am aiming for fat loss right now I…

I eat chocolate everyday. It's a craving I can't seem to kick. I fit it in my calories and I'm still losing weight. BUT!!! I once wanted some at lunch and to fit it meant less normal food and at Body Combat that evening I felt really weak. So if you're replacing meals with it and then working out bare in mind there's some…

General consensus on here is a lot of hate towards fad diets. Yes, they will work. No they will not be sustainable. Yes you will gain weight once you resume "normal" eating. The most successful and sustainable weightloss is slow, hard work by eating a calorie deficit which isn't so low that you eat you're miserable and add…

eBay any brands to fund your new wardrobe when you drop your next size!!

This exactly.
