If you've got a bit of spare time could you not batch make a few things? Chillis, pasta sauces and things like that? I know you dont want to get stuck with a load of samey things but in our house we have chilli with baked sweet potatoes/sweet potato mash, rice and as a dish in a bit of a Mexican feast so if uou find…

Your health and well being will definitely see a huge improvement if you make a good effort with this. I used to be depressed, SAD was for like 4 months of the year and generally had a really low self esteem and worth so from experience I know it gets better. Good luck to you, it sounds like you really want this…

I'm sorry no one has replied to your question yet. I just looked on your profile and it says you want to lose 80ish pounds - I don't want to make assumptions but I assume you are a little heavy and maybe 1200 is too low for you? I'd work out your BMR and try and eat around that (I'm 203lbs and eat my BMR which is 1750). I…

Excellent, and very very pretty! Keep up the great work :)

I didn't have any 'real' oats and just made these with a sachet of golden syrup oats, two bananas and stuck in 15g of banana protein powder and 10g of chopped nuts and they worked really well. Quite squishy and not really like a biscuit but really tasty. Mine ended up being 54cal/98mg potassium/1g fat/2g protein. Can…

Weeeeeeeeeeee!

Looks like you need to get some good habits and continue on the good work and you'll lose in no time. Congrats on the weight already lost, keep up the momentum and you'll do great! :smile:

Welcome new folk! Hope you all do really well :smile:
-
^^ This. I have EA Active 1 and 2, I still prefer 1 but it's a good work out and you get a resistance band which is really good.

And measurements! Measurements are great when the scale isn't going the way you want it to :smile:

It's really nice to see someone come on and say they have started to eat more, first off. As for the weight gain before weight loss, it depends on your activity level. 1200 is still a pretty low intake so if you're active with all your new energy you might be fine and still see losses. As for how often you weigh yourself,…

Used to be covered in piercings (both nostrils, medusa, side lip, middle lip, vertical labret, multiple ears, lobes to an inch, a nipple and an even ruder one) but now I'm rocking a few ear piercings including a conch stretched to 2g/6mm and the rude one. Couple of tattoos and a few plans for when I'm slimmer and booking…

Welcome! I'm in the same boat as you really - started at 265, lost about 60lbs in 2011 and have done absolutely bugger all since then pretty much other than a fair bit of fluctuation. Hope you get all you want out of MFP! :smile:

Unless you have a heart rate monitor, a lot of people tend to log it as 'circuit training' which is in the MFP database. :smile:

Non Scale Victory - so stuff like fitting into old clothes and getting compliments and such :smile:

You musn't be too overweight if you set it to 2lbs a week and have been given 1200. My Fitness Pal (MFP) won't give you less than 1200 beause that's pretty much too little for a normal person to function properly and you'll probably end up losing muscle too rather than just fat. Everyone has an opinion of how to lose…

You need to change your Activity Level settings to 'Active'. You should find it in your profile settings somewhere.

I did the first fit test today. Am going to follow it but three days a week instead of six for the time being. Not looking forward to aching tomorrow!

Love love The Good Whey company, they just taste like milkshakes and aren't really heavy and taste great. The code NEWYOU40 should get you 40% off too.
-
Best of luck for all your goals. A positive start hopefully means there'll be a great future for you. And have fun! :)
-
That is insane. And whilst I'm not a big swearer online, you look f'ing awesome. Great work dude, great work!
-
Very nearly 23, not a student but I fit half the criteria!
-
Happy to be your new friend. Best of luck for the future and here's to 2013!
-
It's good to see you being pro-active in getting your health back and you recognise there is going to be obstacles, the challenge is in facing them. Wish you the best of luck for all your goals this year, make 2013 great :)

Our very very blunt Greek consultant at work that always gave out chocolate and wine for Christmas for us all. Christmas 2011 she said 'I'm not going to give you any chocolate because, you know, I want you to...' and rubbed my stomach whilst pushing me out of her office. Another time at work one of our seniors had a…

I've started trying to substitute oodles and oodles of carbs for more protein (and I'm upping my exercise too so that helps) and I've been drinking www.thegoodwhey.com's protein shakes in the morning. I've got vanilla and banana and they are nice and sweet without being too sickly to have in the morning. They are only…

It's a huge deal! Hitting onderland is a massive massive deal for a hell of a lot of people on here so congratulations! When I hit 199 a few months ago I said exactly the same: Never going back. Very very well done again :smile: Caroline.

A Leicester girl here, happy to add. MFP has been a wonder for me so hopefully you'll rock it too :)

I'm from Leicester, feel free to add me too :)

Oh you two are totally adorably awesome I want to squish you. You've both done SO SO good. I can only hope that in another 6 years my other half and I are still as happy and cute as you guys!
