When I reached my goal weight I stopped MFP cold turkey and because I didnt see what I was eating every day I just assumed I was making the right choices very quickly I put the weight back on and now here I am for round 2 I would recomend setting your goal at maintaining and continue logging for a few months until you are…

Depending on exercise I try and spread my meals equally but it usually ends up dinner heavy breakfast: between 200 and 400 Lunch: between 200 and 400 Dinner: between 400 and 600 I eat alot of snacks so thats what fills up the rest of my calories However if its my birthday or a special treat Il eat a 1500 calorie meal if I…

Congratultions! I found that when I first started the sale just jumped down because I had made a big change in my food habits but now it is down to a plod of 1/2 - 1lbs a week (ish) MFP will adjust your calorie goal based on your current weight and what your goal loss is. When you weigh more you burn more calories by…

I bruise easily anyway but Im not sure why, when I donated blood my iron levels were high and I bled out slowly, Yet I will wake up with bruises and no idea of how I got them or I will walk into a table and wake up with a big black bruise Its odd! Sorry I cant help, I realise now how pointless this post is lol

My comments were in relation to advertising plus size clothing, Im not saying dont sell it I just dont think it should be glammerised (and I feel the same about small clothing as well) Firstly congratulations on your loss, thats an incredible achievement Second I didnt mean to cause offence was just posting my honest…

Ive never had a baby so I am probably not qualified to comment .... But I dont see the big deal? I thought with pregnancy you are supposed to continue exercising as long as you dont over exert yourself, because its in the babies best interest that you are fit and healthy so you can give birth? When I get pregnant I want to…

I agree, What I was trying to say in my post wasnt that I am against selling large clothes but I do disagree with adverts that advertise large clothes (I mean XXL type clothes) as if it is acceptable JUST as much as it would be irresponsible to advertise clothes for size 0 or smaller as acceptable. We cant hid behind the…

I dont do resistane or toning yet I am focussed on cardio at the moment ... ... but where I am cycling 5-6 days in a row I get very sore achey thighs I found the most effective thing to help them is to carry on cycling and push on through. I find after 10 minutes the soreness has gone completely and when I get home Il have…

I cycle alot (aim to do 60 mins / 10 - 12mph / 5 days a week at minimum) and I have noticed feeling much better on the inside and my body shape is changing but my weight has only dropped 1lb in 2 weeks (which lets face it could be a big number 2 haha) I figured that my body will take time to adjust to me watching what I…

I think there needs to be a balance, I disagree with models over size 16 / 18 just as much as i disagree with models below a size 8 For me its all about being healthy regardless of size, I was annoyed by Gemma Collins new clothing range when she launched her shop saying "no skinny girls allowed" and the sizing is only 14 -…

o sweetie I really feel for you, do you have any idea when your issues with food began? A friend of mine went through this when she was 18, it was a hard time for her because she wanted to eat but physically couldnt and she was so upset about her body She went to the Dr and he put her on medication which helped her deal…

Its on my playlist when I cycle and when it comes on I cant help but day dream ... I think about it a bit too much lol

I dont think it is, I find MFP can be a bit off with some of its calculations I logged 15 minutes of stepping (on a box thingy) and MFP said it was about 300 calories but my HRM said it was 80 I would take that 4 hours as a bonus work out :)

I have done a few 5ks, here are my tips: 1. Be proud of yourself with your training that you have hit the distance before the race! Before my first 5k I had never run the distance before the actual day! 2. If you are allowed to, create a playlist and get some running headphones and an arm band to hold your music player, I…

I dont have to do anything special all my stuff just goes straight in the wash, I wash my trainers once a week but to be honest this wasnt because of them smelling its because I am blister prone so lets just say I get frequent red staines in them! haha

I can completely relate to your story, and I have to say you are being so incredibly brave by your post that I think you should be proud of yourself for making such a positive step forward I was the same, I have a relaxed approach to MFP and I lost the weight slowly, I went from 165lbs to 140lbs Then I stopped using MFP as…

I have a dodgey hip from being hit by a car so my stretches may sound a bit odd but they help prevent pain when running Start of my jog: walk to the end of my road, then jog slowly for half a mile, then I do a kind of squat with my right leg stretched out and lean into it so the inner leg and hip area gets a good stretch…

My excuses were that I was tired from working all day and I had housework to do and food to cook I found that turning the TV off freed up more than enough time for 1-2 hours of cardio a day as well as chores!

My boyfriend has a protiene shake every day as it helps him recover quicker (he lifts) He has also cut out the rubbish snacks I used to put in his lunch box and replaced them with yoghurt, melon, apples, banana and chicken and rice but this isnt enough food to sustain him so he finds protien bars and protien shakes a good…

I like adding some dark soy sauce, raw onion, peppers and other veg etc and then slice up the chicken Another thing is I make up some sauce like thai curry or sweet and sour and add that to chicken and rice

Hi Brenda! Congratulations on you weight loss so far Im from little ole Blighty right on the Southcoast, this is my second time on MFP, when I hit my goal last year I left MFP and put it all back on again (lesson learnt lol) Some great people and forums on here, Im taking part in a couple of challenges that drive me to get…

I think the no1 thing you need to do is speak to your midwife My sister gained around 3 stone with my neice and it took her a year to get back to her pre pregnancy weight due to a c-section so she was out of action for 2 months It took 9 months to grow your little bundle and you had to take on padding to keep your baby…

In all seriousness I would find a seperate place to get your food from, or get a salad bowl with the meat and veg that you can eat then take it home and make up some rice to go with it or something? Or schedule in some cardio on the day so you can afford the extra carbs?

OOO MAAAANNNNNNN you have made me REALLY want a subway now!!!! jeeze ..... Thankfully Im going for a bike ride so I can fit it in ***toddles off to subway****
