  • If you are going to count point you may as well count calories on MyFitnessPal. I think MFP gradually teaches you portion control, while WW just makes you dependent on their products and support. The only tool that has meant I have kept the weight off is MFP. I feel much more empowered to continue to do well and balance my…

    in What did you have for lunch??? Comment by heididw January 2012
  • Pita with ham, cheese and tomato! Yum yum! Or a Tortilla Wrap with leftover Chicken Curry (and a bit of salad) ... Alternatively make a salad with mango, pineapple, and apple, it's like eating a fresh fruit salad.

  • Either way, you have to count them in as if you don't your body may go into starvation mode, meaning you will stop losing weight. Personally I set my setting to the Sedentary setting and count everything, including walking to work, cleaning and cooking, as exercise. Hope that helps, Heidi

  • I keep my three main meals between 900-1000 calories and adjust my snack depending on my exercise on the day. On a day I don't exercise I snack on fruits like blueberries, strawberries and low calorie cereal bars. On the days I do exercise I snack on nuts, flapjacks and higher calorie cereal bars.

  • Hi Andrea, I have been using MyFitnesspal for the last 18 months and have lost 42lbs so far. To get me started I tracked my food and exercise as it was for 2 weeks. It then showed me how wrong my portion sizes were. After 2 weeks I set myself to lose but 1lb per week so I tweaked the portion sizes rather than change what I…

  • I have found that the best results come when I eat more on the days I exercise, fuelling my body on the day, before or just after exercise. When I don't eat enough on the days I exercise, my body goes into 'starvation mode' for the rest of the week and I usually stay the same weight or even gain some. I hope that helps…
