  • I'm exactly the same. I haven't changed any of my eating habits besides quantity. I still go out, eat out, get take away, bake cookies (yesterday, i made 6 big ones and 4 are already gone... oops), drink fizzy drinks etc etc. Its all about moderation. If pizza fits into my calories, Im going for it, if I have 300cals left…
  • MFP is really good for motivation, inspiration and support. Each day is a brand new day, if you have a small blip, no worries, get back on the horse the next day. I suggest you browse the forums and blogs. It helps knowing people have had similar issues, or struggle with similar problems, and how they have coped with it,…
  • My advice would be dont think about anything in a negative way. You CAN have anything you want, in moderation. Ive only been at this for about 2 months, but have lost ~8lb in that time (im only aiming for about 16lb so im halfway there). And in that time, i've had mcdonalds, eaten out at pubs, gone for fancy meals with…
  • heya, Im a student too (final year at uni) so i totally understand the procrastination thing. I really struggled to begin with, but once I gave myself a regular pattern I really got into it. I'd get home from uni, have dinner, then go to the library, taking my work out stuff with me. i'd then go via the gym on the way…
  • Hiya, It sounds like youve been struggling recently. Can I ask some questions? How many calories are you eating on a normal day? (not the 3000cal days obvs). Because that can cause problems with tiredness if you're under eating. And are you restricting certain foods? Are you telling yourself no pizza, then craving pizza…
  • The weight wont be coming off on the scales at this point cause with the type of exercise you've been doing you've probably started gaining a lot more muscle mass, and muscles weighs more than fat. SO while it appears as if you've not lost anything, you lost fat, gained muscle and hence appearing more toned! Eating back…
  • 25 here, always happy to have more MFP friends, feel free to add :D
  • To be honest, MFP gave me the same figure when I inputted my data, chose loose 1-2lb a week, and do 1hr exercise 3-5days/week. Ive been following it quite well, I normally eat back my exercise calories too though. But, honestly, I sleep a lot... im currently at uni on a research break, so Ive been sleeping like 10hours a…
  • I'm in!! Started in back in November but didn't make it past day 9 unfortunately. Mostly due to a work trip,but never got back to it afterwards. I'll be starting tomorrow since I'm away from home today/tonight. I Currently have a bad knee, I suspect from my increase in running at the gym ( naturally very unfit) so I may…
  • ~6lbs in a month, since I started properly using this site, before then Id lost about a stone, over a year (most of the was lost one a 1 month trip to india where i mostly starved myself-->totally not a healthy way to kick start a diet) Since Feb Ive just been watching my calorie intake, im about 1300 calories a day, and i…
  • Laura, 25, from Birmingham. Aiming to get below the 11 Stone mark, currently just below 12 stone mark, so 14lbs to go. Sort of just been plodding along, not noticing the weight gain, but my mum has had loads of success first with weight watchers then rosemary conley, and shes making me look bad lol, so figured I should…
