A bit, but then I get over it :) Sitting around feeling bad doesn't help. I relax, and work out another day. I finished work early on monday, got into my gym gear, and starting walking to the gym, but then felt tired and hungry and just went home and ate ice cream in bed instead :# Whoops. Went to the gym last night…

Based on your attitude and logging, I'd say yes. Once again. Why do you care and what do you want? Since you've already stated you don't want to lose weight? The site works if you're willing to use it properly, I'll use mine and the countless others on here that have had success as evidence. So what is it that you want?

Everyone isn't 'beating on you' for the 5 or 20 calories. They are using the measurements of one item in your food diary as an example of how the logging in your diary is inaccurate. If everything else was logged as the exact brand you are eating, and weighed by the gram, they wouldn't. But even in this thread you have…

Again, what are you hoping to achieve from this thread since you've already stated you're not trying to lose weight anyway, and you don't seem interested in seeing if changing your logging habits will help?

I'm confused about what you want here. You've said that you aren't losing weight, but also that you're not trying to? I fail to see a problem. You've asked people why you're not losing weight, and they have said it might be from inaccurate logging as you seem to be logging by volume instead of weight. If not losing weight…

The recipe builder is a nightmare. For some reason it has hardly any options in it, cause there's things I log often in my food diary that don't exist when logging items in a recipe, and it always comes up with random things when you first enter them. Like I put in a list of ingredients cause I was making banana and cherry…

ahh cheers pal! Haha definitely not!!! I am just exercising and eating less, but not to any extreme. I have set gym days, which for the most part have been Monday to Thursday, no excuses, but I've recently changed it to Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri. Having set days makes it easier to stick to going regularly. It's only been…

Oh I have the app, it just doesn't work. heh. Think it's been broken for a long time, theres a thread or two on here about it. super lame!

Photos are 16 weeks apart, 35 pound difference :) I've started lifting now, and I'm hoping to shift my wobbly bits :D

I have a note file on my phone and I jot down what food and exercise I do during the day, and add it all on later when I get home. I have a windows phone so I can't use the app which is pretty annoying if I'm out all day. Once you get into the habit of doing it, it will get easier to remember to do :) I also usually add…

I keep adding loads of smoked paprika to bulgar wheat. so yum.

First thing you need to learn is it's not 'diet food' you need to find, it's portion control and good habits you need to learn! Today I ate burgers and cake and ice lollies and I'm still within my calories. Try to find exercise you enjoy, because if you get the wrong attitude it can make this journey so much harder than it…

I always want to be eating when I'm messing about on my laptop. I eat frozen grapes. They take longer to eat, they're low cal, and they're good for you :) I always buy a pack or two of grapes with my weekly shop, and straightaway pick them and put them in a tupperware box in the freezer :)

You can have cous cous as that only needs hot water from the kettle! Just pour hot water on it and leave it for 5 mins. mix it with some salad and houmous and feta. Yum.

Defs agree with rollerskating! Me and a couple of friends found a local club that runs once a week, and we go for two hours and even though it feels like we're just hanging out laughing at each other trying not to fall over, it's a pretty hard workout! We all ache the day after but it's super fun and doesn't feel like…

If you can get a round one you can scoop out the middle, bake it, mix the middle with bulgar wheat and other veg and meat, stuff it back in and melt cheese on it <3 This meal was only 435 calories and it was amazing. edit to resize

Yay! Tip for digital scales! When weighing something awkward like sauces, put the container on the scale, set it to zero, use it, then put it back on the scale and it will show you what you used in negative amounts :D

Her calorie burn estimate was for 1 mile at 5mph, not 5 miles. To OP, eat a little more! I started off at 1200 cause I set MFP up wrong. I was knackered all the time and felt rubbish. I upped my calories by a couple of hundred and had more energy and I feel great! Losing weight, exercising a lot, and eating the stuff I…

I'm pretty confident with mine, but the differences between my HRM and the machines isn't as drastic as that. Obviously there is no way to know for sure how many I'm burning, but here's an example. I used to use the stepper machine a lot because it told me I was burning a LOT of calories using it. I lost weight. To vary up…

Went to a gym class today, and there were about 5 other people in it. At one point we were laying on our backs with our feet in the air, holding an exercise ball between our feet. We had to move the ball around in a circle above our heads, so of course I drop mine straight onto my face, and it bounced off and rolled into…

I have mine totally open. It was open to just my friends when I started. We all joined together so there's about 6 people I regularly hang out with that can see my diary. I know they look at it too cause we all spy on each other. It keeps me accountable cause I can't really lie on it cause I've usually eaten around at…

Bother because you are a SMOKING HOT MEGABABE!!!! holy **** I actually feel terrible!!! I am one of muffie's real life friends and I would like to publicly apologise for not saying anything!!! You absolutely look different and you are amazing for having lost so much! I only realised in the last couple of days how much…

Might be healthier, not sure. I have lacofree stuff cause I'm lactose intolerant. I have lactase tablets though for when I just really need a real pizza :D

hahaha yeah I looked at mine and thought, why am I encouraging anyone to look at this??? Can't see yours though pal? sure it's not on friends only?

My diary is open, and I'm in the UK, but you might find it a bit boring too I'm afraid! I eat at work a lot, so there's a fair bit of sushi (my sodium intake is terrible) and I usually cook bulgar wheat with fish and veg for tea. Also as I just add the ingredients most of the time you can't tell what I'm having :( The…

I'm gonna start of by saying you should lose weight for you, and it's your body and your health that's important, so screw everyone else's opinions! But saying that, if you're struggling to keep at it, and if the first wave of motivation came from proving to other that you could do it, why not use that again? I often get…

lulz, I've had some excellent break ups. Here's my top 3: 1. A guy I'd been seeing came into the bar I worked at with another girl, and made out with her, directly infront of the bar, for 2 hours. Then she left and he tried to talk to me at the bar. I ignored him and he waited till the other girl on the bar went out for a…

To lose weight you need to focus on your diet more than anything. I know I find when I'm not doing a lot it's easier to reach for extra foods, so this should be your main goal. I can't really relate with the exercise thing. I had an ovary out in January, but I waited until the doctor said I was fine to go to the gym before…

I definitely agree with this! They take ages to eat as well if you just suck them, so it satisfies my 'need to be eating' as well as sweet cravings! And like muffie says, sorbet is always a winner <3

Looking at all the info the only thing I can think of is inaccurate logging. The maths isn't adding up :( This could be from food logging, or exercise. Have you thought about reducing your calories by 100 a day for a couple of weeks? see if anything changes? How are you measuring your exercise calories?
