How do I join?

Yes yes yes and more yes!! I am getting married in March 2019 need to lose 30kg/60lbs. Having to look after 6 and 5 year old makes me need sugar!!

i'm in!! for sure very exciting as i was going to start my own journey on may 1st!!!

Yes private messaged both of you!!! i start tomorrow, fingers crossed, i have a long road to climb but need to stay focused, getting married march 2019!!

Just read this very well said! thanks

Thanks so much for the info, i might just think about eating back 25-50% depending on how much exercise i have done! cheers!

Hi there, I feel your pain, i only have 2 kids and that's enough!!! I keep trying to come back and do something about my weight as i keep adding more and more weight on. Let's try and support each other!!

Thanks for your responses. Yes my macros are in the green each day and i am eating 1500 or more depending on my exercise outputs. I am loosing weight and i feel like i am eating really well but then look at macros and i am just so low in some of them. Sometimes it's a bit too confusing and just eat to feel good!!

Thanks so much everyone, really great information here and you guys are knowledgeable. Thanks agAin!!

I am completely the same. It's so strange, every part of you doesn't want to but you manage to do it anyway. Yet if you fall you come back stronger? I hope so. I haven't made it past a few days yet. Good luck for this week.

Just read this and realized how negative I sound. Going to try and change my speech to change my life! One day at a time.

Awesome and loved this post thanks! It's such a better way to look at things and my husband is saying this all the time, look at what you have achieved. Really loved reading everyone's accomplishments. Fantastic work! Your giving me hope and inspiration! : )

Thanks so much everyone. I didn't even know I had half the responses still learning how to use MFP. @Stoshew71 you have so much knowledge thanks. It's really hard would love to be in ketosis and eat low carb but longevity just not there. Really appreciate your help.

Thanks, i will check it out. I am not doing it at the moment but in the past i have and was just curious to hear what peoples thoughts are on it.

Will add you

Hi Natasha I am the same. 35 yrs old 2 little ones and have 50 lbs to lose. I will add you. I have only been doing it one day and yday didn't go to well.

Awesome! Work!

Wow! So incredible, I am feeling very lost at this stage and don't know which path to walk. Very inspiring!

I have taken it on and off. Love when I take it but then feel so crappy the next day if I stop. It's a hard one. Have you tried it?

Try your loaded squats followed by steps up, really supersets legs.

Yes that's a great point. What I find hard is on the other plans I.e keto/low carb, I feel so good but I just can't maintain. Thanks for all your advice really appreciate it.

Yeah it's a double class and it's brutal but it really burns!

Cool thanks. Yeah you never know with those monitors. With the spin class its a 90 min class so calorie burn gets up there but not sure accurate the HRM is. No I don't have high HR it's in the normal range. I will just have to try trial and error to see what works.

Do you do this manually or is there a feature on this site that does it for you?

Yup that's so true. I love exercise but also binge on sugar. I think MFP makes you accountable maybe that is why I always shy away from it?

Thanks Pinkpixie. I really truly hope this time I will stick to it. I have think having this community is great for advice and support.

That's great advice and love the link. Thanks

Thanks I am 5'11 and weigh 220lbs so I think around 1500 would be better. Thanks for your advice. I was just talking to someone else and they said you can bank calories if you run at a deficit, e.g w exercise or eating less how does this work?

yeah pancakes are good too, i make oat pancakes. 1 cup oats, 1/2 milk, 2 eggs, 2 bananas, blend and cook! yuM!

Thanks, i would really like that magic wand too. Just keep watching the scales go up and up. Haven't had a lot of success with anything as i don't stick with it enough. Great work at sticking with it! I just want to commit to sticking with MFP until the end of the year and see what happens!
