also from UK , south yorkshire area. I still need to lose 3 stone to get me to a healthy bmi. Started this new journey in september. hoping to get to my goal this time. anyone can add me if they like, I fill in my diary everyday with everything I eat and drink - viewable to all :D

I don't know how to put this, but MFP is like getting a grip with reality. Seeing exactely what you've eaten and how many cals it has and the other info. As without it , I might look at something and maybe look at the cals and think that hasn't got too many calories in it. and eat it. Repeat through the day and those…

I did the same thing, my profile goes back to last year, so if I left it from that starting weight my ticker would say I've lost 17lbs, But I wanted to be honest with myself and reset my starting weight to that of the 17th sept 2012 which is the day I decided I need to do something about my weight before I reach 40…

just been out for another walk today with my mum and her dog, We were out for over 1 hour but don't know how many steps as my ipod went flat lol :-), But luckily it only went flat in the last 10 - 15 mins. Waiting for it to charge back up to see, and it will connect my cals burned straight to here so thats great :D I…

if you have an iphone or ipod touch, there is an app called striiv that connects with MFP, I got the app yesterday and went for a walk with my mum and her dog. we were out for 90 mins and did 9688 steps, I was soo pleased with myself :-) not quite the 10k steps but close enough. apparently that burned off over 600 cals. On…

I didn't eat any sweets / candy either :-)

Thats brilliant, Well Done :D it now sounds like you need your other ring resizing now lol :D

Don't buy them. I was terrible with all those things, but half of the time I was just putting things in my trolley and not noticing I'd already put something else in from another isle. So when I got home there were lots of treats available. So now when I see something tempting on the shelves, I check my trolley first to…

I would consider normal eating to be not having to weigh everything to find out its calories and then making sure you stick to them. to be able to eat without worrying you might go over you daily allowance. But saying that, the above is what got me into this state in the first place, so if be it, I will weigh my food and…

That was a lovely thing to read :D Glad your getting the support you need from someone you love :D

No problem, just glad I could help lol :-)

yes I would say that is 3 cups worth :D

i have a measuring cup that says it is 1 cup and that says 240ml

I could do with a few friends, as I have none at the moment. Probably due to the…

My calorie allowance for the last 6wks has been 1350cals, And have almost always stayed under that. and have lost 10lbs. I had set my MFP for losing 1 1/2 lbs a week. I have now changed this setting to losing 1lb a week so am now allowed 1560cals aday, Still haven't managed it yet.
