  • Wonderful Pictures. Well done :-)
  • I was at 99.4 lbs lost on and off for ~ 5+ weeks with being the exact same weight for 3 or 4 readings. Just carry on doing whats worked so far and maybe slightly change the macros. I cooked a chicken and had more protien than normal and just ate a little less rice. I ended up getting past 100lbs for the first time and now…
  • Twice a week. On a Wednesday and Saturday before breakfast. If I have not lost anything on one weigh in this prompts me to try even harder for the follow up weigh in a few days and this works well for me. If you get a readings with weight the same or up then I get the measuring tape out for a once a 2 - 3 month boost to…
  • 1 g of fat= 9 calories 1g of protein= 4 calories 1g of carbohydrate= 4 calories I found this but don't know how accurate it is. I thought fat was ~ 8 Cal / g and Carbs more than protien. But you will be ~ in the ball park with the cheese. Humidity (water) = Nil 20 g of 35% fat cheese would have (20 x 0.35 x 9) = 63 Cal…
  • I have only been losing wait for ~ 3 months and have now found many of my old clothes are baggy. I tend to use the bright ones for cycling. I do need buy some new ones, but I still am loosing weight quite quickly and had some big clothes that were still in the wrapper that I've tried to get as much use out of before I…
  • On my holiday I went over my goal and typically had no or little deficit. I treated this as just a delay in the eventual weight loss. The previous posters reply indicating going below 1200 calories (you suggested 900 calories) would be a bad idea. This might be to the 'Starvation Mode' warning from MFP. Basically you…
  • My gut says listen to your body, but if I'm still a little hungry after my dinner (8 - 9pm) and I'm off to bed soon (10 - 11pm) I just go to bed felling empty and wake up fine.
  • You mentioned you often bring food home. I used to have a lot of food deliveries. Then a Sushi takeaway opened by me (Unexpected as where I live is not that cosmopolitan) and we switched to just using that place. Their food is really good quality and I felt healthier after their meal (Miso soup, Uramaki roll and Rice &…
  • Hello Lacey. I also put on weight after becoming a Dad. The last three years I've been doing loads of cardio (Cycling) but now I'm getting serious about getting to a health weight. I've got loads to loose so will be on MFP for a long time and I'd love to share my progress with another motivated PAL. I'm based in the UK.…
  • I am on a long journey. I expect it may take 18 months or more to get to a BMI that just puts me in the 'Over Weight' Category. I've made a fair start over the last month and am ~ 11 kg down. I have just ordered some dumbbells. I went with synthetic weights to save money as I know nothing about the exercises I need to do…
  • I'm new to MFP but quite organized so will explain what I do in case this helps. LOGGING HOME COOKING 1) While cooking I keep a pen and paper and electronic scales to hand. Therefore I can use calories on the packet (per 100g) x weight in grams / 100. Some times it's easier as it says 1/2 tin is X calories. While it's…
  • You have obviously put in a great deal of work over the last 12 months. Congratulations on the anniversary and your inspirational progress. Thanks for sharing your progress. I've been doing this for Just 16 days and am very excited to see if I can match your progress. I know it will get harder as my calorie target drops,…
