I like to think of it as I'm eating vegetables by proxy ;) I'm always happy to have more MFP friends - 23lbs lost and plenty more to go, so feel free to add me anyone.

For savoury I really like Velvet Crunch crisps -they're about 80-90 calories a bag and really nice (Cheddar Cheese & Onion flavour in particular). Another snack I've started buying and keeping in my cupboard for when I'm feeling peckish is Special K biscuit moments - you get 2 in each pack for about 90 calories and they…

I'm in Sheffield - always accept friend requests so feel free to add me anyone :smile:

I can completely sympathise - when I was young I spent a large % of my free time playing football (soccer). I could eat what I want and never put on weight (how I wish I could get back to that now! lol). I'm not especially tall and was so thin you could see my ribs - I hated it, and was bullied because of it (easily…

Here's the thing - this message is every bit as important for sons, brothers, fathers, uncles etc. Men are every bit as vulnerable and susceptible to deeply rooted issues with how we see and judge our own reflection. Every bit as pressured to be fit and strong both physically and mentally, and shamed if we dare falter. The…

Same as most days really:

I used MFP a few years ago and lost 10 stone... then fell off the wagon hard (comfort eating, depression, short period out of work breaking my daily routine, etc) and put it all back on. Recently started back up determined to lose it all again and get back to where I was (and possibly/probably more beyond that). So yeah...…

I have a Flex and am finding it really useful - I'm still early into the process and focussed on losing weight rather than improving fitness so at the moment I'm using the fitbit more to track my calories burned rather than steps taken. Being able to log into the fitbit site and view graphs of my calorie burn data (from my…

Assuming you mean your daily goal - MFP should prompt you after every 10lbs you lose to recalculate your daily calorie goals based on your new estimated burn (as you lose weight your standard resting burn will drop slightly, so your daily goal will too). You can also redo them manually any time you like by going to the…

Originally from rural North Lincolnshire, but have lived in Sheffield now for 11 years. I'm always happy to meet new MFP friends for motivation and encouragement, so feel free to add me anyone :smile:

I've just returned to MFP after previously losing loads of weight then falling off the wagon hard a couple of years ago. I accept any friend requests I get - always good to see more motivation and discussions on your timeline! Am from rural North Lincolnshire but now live in Sheffield :smile: Feel free to add me anyone.

What a ridiculous double-standard! I'm male, yet I'd be infinitely more likely to tell someone I love them over having a one-night stand... I just wouldn't/couldn't do that.

@rjmwx81 - sounds rather like my thought process too, although mine's "She's cute! I should ask her out... except she could no doubt do way better than me.... yeah, forget it....." /sigh

I wouldn't say my weight has kept me single in itself, but it certainly played a major role in my complete lack of self confidence and self image - which are much bigger factors. Having shifted a lot of weight that has improved a little, but the self-image and confidence (especially around women I find attractive) are…

I always hold the door open for people, as long as they're not far enough back behind me that if I stand there holding the door they'd feel the need to do the awkward "quick-walk/jog to the door so they're not standing holding the door for me for ages". Obviously if it happens to be an attractive woman, that makes it all…

Welcome to the site - you've made the decision to make that change and the weight loss has already begun, so you're off to the perfect start... and by the sounds of it you're approaching it the right way with the right mindset too. Good luck to you, and don't be afraid to lean on people here and friends/family when times…

Honest answer - a string of things really... The way things ended with my ex at uni pretty much destroyed what little self-confidence I had, especially as I had already started to put on weight having stopped playing so much football (soccer) but kept eating. By the time I got back into a place where I was over her and…

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerds! :op I'm a geek, nerd, gamer, sci-fi-loving, sun-avoiding ball of geeky-nerdiness, and very proud of it :oD Haha! Feel free to add me fellow geek/nerd types :)

Hi - I've lost almost 10 stone (couple of pounds to go!) but want to lose another stone or two (although I have levelled off recently... really struggling to drop now). Losing this much is definitely not easy, but if you stay motivated and committed to it then it can be done and makes such a difference! Feel free to add me…
