I wish i was asking the same question as you. unfortunately i suffer with very frequent stomach pains, often so severe that it hurts to breathe because any movement of stomach muscles causes agony. When im really bloated i feel like my tummy puffs out loads (sometimes i genuinley look pregnant!) and i have a lot of air…

hey :) ive only been here a couple of weeks so i still feel like a bit of a newbie. the support is amazing, im sure you will find this place really helpful. feel free to add me :)

ditto! i drink so much tea/coffee that if i replaced all the sweetener with sugar my daily sugar level would be through the roof! Even the calories in the amount of sweetener i use add up to an annoyingly high amount ! :(

well done! what a difference!

The MFP support ceases to amaze me :) <3

YESSSS. im definitely in! a very good idea! im travelling Europe for 4 weeks. Its interrailing so we can go where we like really but our plans so far are Eastern (ish) Europe: Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Bratislava, couple of places in Slovenia and then a couple in Italy, and i dont remember where else. i dont want it to…

does anyone know if you can buy these egg-whites-only in England?!?! i waste so many eggs throwing the yolk away :/

i wish i could give it up. even 3 days giving it up would be a miracle. i weigh myself multiple times a day which is stupid, i know it is. But they are just there and i really cant help it :( its so depressing. i know i will weigh more when ive eaten and drunk food and have clothes on so its totally pointless, but i just…

im going interrailing round europe :)

i have to watch my protein or i could easily go over :/ i never realised how much protein yoghurts have :( i loveeee yoghurt and now i have to cut down :(

i love it but its high in protein and i struggle to not go over my protein limit as it is :( peanut butter and banana toasties <3

This made me smile. I have no idea where Texas is in America! ! Let alone what direction out of my window to look! But i dont suppose that really matters ! you have some amazing motivation, and some very encouraging words :) All the best to you too! You definitely deserve it!

thats so great! you should be so proud of yourself! well done!

well done!!! thats awesome :)

3lbs in 11 days is great! well done!

Im 1/4 scottish, does that count? :)

i always seem to reach my protein goal but nothing else though, so peanut butter will send me soaring over the limit :/ Even my yoghurts have like 6g protein in :/ ive had a cereal bar so thats another 80 cals gone. i dont know why i always seem to reach my protein limit and nothing else :(

thats so encouraging that she noticed. And a definite reminder that slow progress does get results. well done!

you can never have enough support :)

definite difference! especially on your stomach. well done :) keep it up!

Saaaame, my BMR is only 1400 and something, so once ive subtracted the 500 cal deficit to lose the weight i want, ive gone below the MFP recommendation :/ my body very easily goes into starvation mode (probably my own fault from my genuine starvation in the past), and i have a slow metabolism as it is so i have the same…

newbies are always good, ive only been here a couple of weeks myself. Its good to see you are so determined and positive about it :) having a set goal is a definite motivation. good luck!!!

I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid when i was 10 years old. my twin sister got diagnosed just before me, her TSH level (which (i think?) should be between 0.5 and 4 roughly) was over 250. ouch then they tested me, and ive been taking meds since. my meds vary quite a lot, im now on 150, but over the last 5 years i…

not everyone who has an eating disorder ends up dead :/ recovery from anorexia was the hardest thing i ever did and i wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. But plenty of people manage it! I know its the psychiatric disorder with the highest mortality rate, but its not like that is the aim in losing the weight in the first…

ive just looked at my diary and realised special k has like 50 in one bowl! apart from that one day, i havent ever gone over 21 :/ Thanks for the other suggestions guys! iron content was never really something i cared about, its always fat and sat fat that bothered me, but only getting 1/5 iron max is badddd :( no wonder…

i weigh just about everything. Veggies are especially important. Mine really add up because i usually eat a lot, so they definitely make a difference. And same with milk, a dash of milk in tea might not seem like much, but i drink at least 5 cups of tea/coffee a day so that definitely adds up.

i nearly always cook from scratch. I had my first microwave meal in months today, but i had just come back from a hospital operation so had zero desire to cook so i managed to justify it. Plus it was a quorn mince one which are healthy compared to a lot of stodgy creamy pasta ones. I dont know how much organic stuff i…

wow 8lbs well done!!! I have only been here a couple of weeks and feel like a super newbie because not only am i new to MFP, anything like this in the past i have done, ive never really done the whole profile, message boards etc, so the social support bit of dieting is very new to me. I hope you find this place useful, i…

me too. Ive done other diets but never done the whole profile/message boards/posting etc. Usually just because im too embarrassed. Ive only been here a week but the support so far seems great, all the best!
