Thank you all so much for your comments and advice. After doing this for seven years and losing five stone (from 15st to now 10st 3lb) I should be able to do this without worrying so much about everything but that's easier said than done!

I thought that too but don't know what lol

Thank you all. I've been on mfp for seven years now and maintained at my goal weight for the last year (losing and gaining the same 4lb for the last year)and lose almost 5stone in total. But, tbh, it's ruling my life but I generally can't not log yet i have days (or weeks in this case) where I just need a break from it all…

Thanks for replying. Good to know I'm not going mad! I've been on mfp and for seven years and maintained for the last year. I'm just tired of it all which is a shame as I don't want to be.

Thanks all. Guess Wednesdays are what’s doing it but it’s such a habit now it will be a tough one to crack! I live for my Wednesdays lol x

Gross. I have a cheat meal every Wednesday, always have.

Yup, I was (and still am to a degree despite losing 65lb). I use those feelings as motivation to kick my own butt. Everyone at the gym is there for the same reason, the only person judging you is yourself. So use those thoughts to motivate yourself and prove to yourself that you can do this, you can lose weight, you can…

That’s really interesting, thanks all.

2k plus?

Thanks! I was on around 120g carb previously so not particularly low. Will now be on around 150g.

Awesome advice everyone, thank you. I’ve set my goal to lose 0.5lb a week and that’s given me a calorie count of 1640. I’ve set my macros at 40 carbs 30 protein and 30 fat. Will give it a go starting Thursday x

Thanks all. SW appealed to me because I can have more carbs and not have to weigh anything (within reason). I want to tone up and just look bloody amazing tbh lol. In an ideal world, what should I set my macros to? I’m 34, 5’6” and weigh 140.2lb.

Start weight 205lb Current weight 138.8lb

Thank you. I haven’t been lifting whilst losing, just done cardio. I’ll up it to 1400 to start with x

I hear you! My cravings are in the evening where I just want to ate all the jelly sweets that’s in my sons treat cupboard lol

Well I would like to lose another 7lb and a dress size. So toning is the name of the game I guess.

Mumma to my four year old son. Lost 4 and a half stone so far. 7lbs to go. Feel free to add me x

Been there hun. Had PTSD with my boy (who is now 4yo). Added you x

Mumma with a strong willed 4yo here!

Thank you. Ill up it to 1400 and see how it goes x

I have off plan days on Wednesdays, it's the obly way I can stay on track the rest of the week

I weigh every Wednesday, although I sometimes weigh on a Sunday too just to keep myself on track over the weekend. I generally lose 1lb a week. The last few months have been busy what with getting married, honeymoon, six weeks school holidays so I've been trying to occupy my son and my menstrual cycle is all over the place…

A year x

Anyone have any suggestions other than tightening up on my logging? TBH I'm pretty hot on weighing everything anyway. Is maintenance 2000? That's quite a jump from 1200, I'll probably end up gaining more.

4lb makes a difference to me mentally, maybe not physically but if I don't mentally get in the zone to hit the target I have set I will just keep going backwards and will be back where I started.

Congrats, I just got married too x

Ooooh what part? I'm in Ipswich x
