I requested to join the group :)

Mine is open :) Been taking a break from mfp for a while so there isn't many past entries in the last month or so, but I'm back to logging daily from today so feel free to add me :)

I think you should talk to your doctor about your over eating. Hiding food and eating until your in pain is not healthy or normal habits and I think finding out what causes you to act that way might be very beneficial to you on your weight loss journey. Also someone saying they'll support you does not mean they have to…

any fitness DVDS I generally log as aerobics light

Great job! How do you find the intensity of the workouts? They look so scary on the tv ads! Also what equipment is used? :)

Pilates, weight training (fitnessblender videos as I don't have access to a gym) and I love Jillian Michaels workout dvds

Another major thing for me is to allow yourself a cheat meal! Not every day of course, but every now and then. Personally I don't really plan mine. But I listen to my body and when it's really craving a treat I'll have one. It usually ends up being every 2-3 weeks.

I weigh the eggs raw and log them, and then measure the milk and log that. Save it as a meal so you can always go back to it :) But things that have more than 1 ingredient I always log each ingredient separately.

I love yummly.com. Amazing website filled with lots of recipes and most have the calorie/nutrition count. 1200 calories a day isn't easy. MFP has me set at 1290 to lose 1lbs/week. To make it easier eat lots of vegetables! Super filling, looks like a lot when layed on the plate and low in calories! I avoid eating a lot of…

Fitnessblender have some amazing workout videos. All free on their app :)

Amazing results! Im starting week 3 tomorrow and can already see and feel little changes !

I just did my first day and loved it! Its tough, but really enjoyed it. The 30 mins flew by too! What are your results so far? :)

Is it a paid site?

How did you find the intensity of the workouts? Are the workouts longer than 30 mins? :)

Congrats! I'd imagine 9 inches counts as very visible results! :)

Sorry I haven't been posting! MFP app was down for me :( June10th - Green June 11th - Green (went over on my fast day but less than my BMR so counting it as green) June12th - Green June 13th - Very Very Red! Ate out for all three meals. Breakfast and lunch were good choices, dinner was a dominos that was big enough to feed…

June 9th - all green again. Failed as a fast day, but still less than half of my tdee so im still counting it and I'll add another day later in the week to make up for it :) technically for this challenge im 2/2 days green

All green today! Im following the 5:2 so its easy staying in the green on fasting days, its the other days i need to watch !

In the cardio section under 'circuit training' or 'aerobics low impact' or 'calinstenics'

How can something that tastes so good, be bad? :O If it fits inside your calorie allotment then it's good, if not then have them another day :) Weight loss is purely about calories. If you're talking about your health then they're not the best food to be consuming, but everything in moderation

Some people manage fine while not counting calories. You learn how to portion control and when to stop yourself. For my, I think I'll always count calories and plan in advance. I like knowing exactly how much I'm eating, I'm a bit of a control freak!

I had the same eye opener a couple of years ago! Id snack inbetween meals and never count because it was only a couple of bites or only one biscuit. It was all adding up!

Interested!

Im considering it. I started it before but i got bored because of how repetitive it is. Im also under a tine restraint, but i did enjoy it. Maybe I'll start it again and just do 1 of each circuit . So a 15 min workout and then do longer workouts on the weekend .

That's one hell of a workout, judging by the pics totally worth it! How is everyone getting on this week? I'm on my first fast today and I'm thinking of trying to fast tomorrow as well. Get both out of the way :)

Thanks for the advice everyone! My diet is my main focus now for my health, but I do want to work towards my body goals too. I'm going to try adding structure to my workouts so instead of just saying 'I'll work out 4 days a week' I'll actually follow a structured program. I've rooted out my old wii (and after playing…

Nearly every DVD you can buy is available on youtube for free! I quite like Jillian Micheal's 30 Day shred, but hate doing the same workout over and over so I usually mix it up with other workouts. I've recently downloaded pretty much all the 10 minute solution videos. I've been in a bit of a rut exercise wise because I'm…

Also if anyone has any apps that they use to program their workouts or keep them motivated I'd love to hear about them!

Just checking in! I managed 2 successful fasts this week so I'm pretty proud! I'm also down 1lbs so I'm now 11 Stone 3 :D Slowly but surely getting there. I feel great too! No deprivation, I can still have takeout (Having a mcDonalds tonight!, can't remember the last time I had it and I won't even feel guilty!) and even on…

Thanks everyone for all the advice! It's really helped in planning my fast days this week. I've set them to Tuesday and Thursday. I'll never try fast again on a Saturday I work, there's always some sort of treats floating around! During the week there aren't really any treats in work so it will be easier then. And it's…
