I love it, especially after I've explained it and then they say....but I couldn't do that, I'd miss chocolate too much. I have chocolate every single night unless I just genuinely don't fancy any. I work it into my diary the night before at the same time as I'm weighing my grapes and adding all my other stuff for the next…

Love it, although I do HATE running, so basically I don't run but that doesn't mean I don't exercise, I just do other things instead :)

I don't argue with anyone about it or really talk about it unless someone specifically asks me. My mum and dad have been genuinely interested (I had an eating disorder for a few years as a teenager and slightly beyond so anything 'diety' used to be off limits as it hit a raw nerve and panicked them I think, which I…

I could not low carb it, no way, I would never sustain it and would just end up bingeing. I know myself to well, I enjoy foods that have carbs in them and I would feel like I was on a diet. I'm trying to change my eating habits to something that I can sustain for life. Yes I'll have to make adjustments and cut down on…

This is great advice and as someone who has never done any weight lifting I didn't take offence at all, I'll happily take instruction from someone as I'm learning all about all of this. I want all the information I can get as I want to do this properly and do it for good, not be back here in a year with the weight back on.…

I get what you're saying about the scales etc. However, I do use weight to measure success right now, I want to lose another stone and a half - 2 stone therefore I will ultimately need to see a downward trend in pounds on the scales. I don't have a goal weight as such, just an idea of a range I'd like to get to. At that…

My husband is awesome, he's always been very loving whatever my size but be is happy I'm counting calories as I'm actually eating more haha! He doesn't have any weight to lose but he has downloaded the app and is doing tracking and counting with me but with his stats set at maintenance. He also helps me with any workouts I…

Yep! Love them! I use the extra light triangles on everything now instead of butter, 20 cals each and taste so creamy, I actually prefer it to butter now :)

I wouldn't let one week get you down, it's a long term process and its the general trend of weight going down that's the important thing. A weekly weigh is just a snapshot of one particular time during the week, the next morning you could be 1.5 lbs down, 2 up that evening etc. I weigh myself all the time (not saying…

Today and yesterday was the first time I have felt like this but I know why I have so may not be the same thing. I hadn't spaced my calories out enough so had too many left at the end of the day basically. I couldn't eat that amount, I tried to eat what I could by adding in a tortilla wrap with my salad and having an apple…

I can't answer about losing on 1200 as I didn't do it for long enough to be able to judge it, only that I was too hungry on it lol. I had my weight loss set to 2lbs a week at first because I was excited to start my jourmey which gave me a figure of 1260 cals, that then dropped to 1230 once I'd lost 4lbs. I'm on my feet all…

I had told myself I wouldn't cut anything out entirely as this is a lifestyle change not a diet, however I seem to have substituted butter for extra light laughing cow triangles. The logic being that if I'm having butter on bread I like plenty of it which I cannot justify wasting calories on, the triangles I have instead…

I jump on the scales most days, at different times of the day also. It just gives me a feel for what my body is doing and although it fluctuates and I don't get worked up if I'm higher on a day where I weigh in the evening, if that figure was to show consistently, especially in the morning I would know I need to change…

I can totally understand why long time posters might get jaded with repeated topics, but lets be honest, this is a weight loss forum there's a limited amount of topics realistically and things will get repeated and you will see the same things get asked alot. Yes you could use the search function but likewise nobody forces…

I'll admit, before I found mfp it's the kinda thing I'd probably have tried. However, now, even after only two weeks I can't imagine any other way, I love it, I still get to eat the things I like as long as I'm not stupid with it and plan it in, I've also discovered how much I love lots and lots of fruit! I always liked…

I'm not saying it's been said here but I've often seen on other weight loss forums people categorically state 'you must not eat after x pm'. It's probably the one thing that annoy me more than anything else. It annoys me because they think its ok to make a sweeping statement as fact to apply to every single person and if…

Fail to plan, plan to fail. Was being used in a totally different context but is definitely true for me with weight loss too. If I don't prepare my food for the next day at work I don't take it and will end up not having anything or having a quick (bad) fix. I plan my shopping so that I always have good choices in so that…

It's up to you whatever you do to be honest, but I continued to weigh in on mine last week, I hop on the scales most days though, I don't stress over it it just helps me get used to and accept the fluctuations. Also by stepping on the scales each day of my period it stopped me reaching for the chocolate lol! I only record…

I weigh/measure and count everything, I've only just started so I have to. Just by doing it I can easily see how I've gained weight in the past because of the calories/fat I probably ate without realising or wanting to realise. If it goes in my mouth then it's weighed/measured and logged, for me personally it's the only…

It's hard to say as birth control is such an individual thing, the pill I was on worked for me but a friend who took it called the demon pill and hated it! I've just decided to come off the pill altogether as I've been on it for a good ten years and just kind of feel uneasy about being on it any longer. We just use condoms…

I swear by walking, I'm on my feet walking all day at work anyway and often in a bit of a hot, manic environment with lots of people in your face so I often like to walk home afterwards, it's almost 6 miles home so I love the fact that I can pop my earphones in and just have a bit of time for just me without a load of…
