Don't worry about it! You are not a robot! We all fail at some point but it's not the end.........If you did this because mfp was down, you must be relying too much on it. YOU are in charge of what you do......mfp is a tool to help you. By putting your post on here you are showing you know what's happening & YOU can fix…

I've lost 39lbs with walking & 1200 calories a day! It's true you do get out of breath to start with but it gets better. I was knackered at the start of it all & had to rest a few times going uphill......now I make it to the top easily & a bit quicker. If you've got a doggy it will do you both good! GOOD LUCK!!

Well done Bob......you are a credit to your family.....Add me as a friend if you like......I wish you a good journey! Smaller portions did it for me & better choices....I am down 39lbs since Jan this year. Good luck! 😁👍💪✋😉

I can't eat all that! Oh it's far too big for me, I will try a smaller size! Sounds daft but my shoes fit better! I havn't got room for a pudding/dessert!

I joined MFP with a friend in 2011 & this is my 3rd try with them. I have always been a yo yo dieter but a serious health scare did it for me this time. I have led quite a healthy life (or so I thought) taking no regular medication at all until now. In December of 2017 I suffered a mini stroke or T.I.A. I thought I had had…

Hi there & welcome to MFP. You will receive lots of support here & get new ideas to make things work for you. You can add me as a friend if you like..... I am 64 & live in Yorkshire UK. Good luck!!😊

Well this is your official welcome to the community mate! 😀👍

Dance on my friend & absolutely well done! You give encouragement & hope to us all. 😊

My friend rang me to say her daughter had got a new job today after getting her hours cut drastically in her current position. Then to top that our dear friend who has been through the mill with oesophagus cancer has been told today she's in the clear, it's all gone!! She's going to celebrate with a cuppa!! Not only did it…

Drink a glass of water when you think you are hungry.......Most of the time it works! Drink before you eat too & you will eat less! Failing that, if you like fruit & veg cut some up & put in small bags or containers in the fridge so they are handy when you fancy a snack! 😊

There's nothing like a health scare to motivate you lass! I had one in December and since rejoining in January I have lost 36lbs. I feel tons better & can move more.......my clothes size has got smaller along with my plate size?.....lol Welcome to MFP, feel free to add me as a friend & we can motivate each other! 😀✋👭

It can never hurt to lose excess pounds Daniel, if you enter your stats into mfp it will work out your daily calories for you. Even walking is a good exercise to start with. It would be better however if you got a check up with the doc, it can never hurt. If you need support you can add me as a friend, I know what a…

Here in the UK we have "light bites" on a lot of our menus. ......its usually the same food but smaller portions. But like most people have said, enjoy your family time together......your good habits won't desert you completely!

You can lose weight! You obviously are doing something wrong. I have been a yo yo dieter all my life but recently had a serious health scare (heartprobs & mini stroke) There is nothing like a threat to your mortality to gear you up to lose weight. I was told I needed to lower my cholesterol, blood pressure & weight. It has…

I just want to LIVE!....... I had a "mini stroke" or T.I.A. last December which really came as a shock! I have had no after effects as such but WOW! What a wake up call! I was told to get my cholesterol down, blood pressure down, exercise more, & lose weight. I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation which caused the T.I.A.…

Oh brother where art thou? Starring George Clooney. .......fabulously funny movie & brilliant music!

For the little ones I would make sure sweet chilli dipping sauce is available, tastes great with salmon & sweet potato fries!

Me too me duck .......I've lost 23 lbs since 17th Jan......loads more to go but a bit at a time!

Hi and welcome, you will, l find plenty of support & help of all types on MFP......its a big learning curve (something new almost every day). I leave my diary open & my profile if you want to read it, hope you enjoy your new family here! You can friend me if you like, good luck anyway!

Put your scales in the garage and only get weighed in the nude.........that should cure you especially in the colder months......lol.

I'm 23 lbs down in almost 12 weeks..........I know the feeling! You've earned it so Enjoy it!

I've found having a smaller plate helps....... I've been on MFP for 83 days & lost 23 lbs so far. This is my 3rd attempt & it seems to be working, even if I think I can eat more I can't now so my stomach must be shrinking! I still eat healthy, low fat, low cholesterol & low salt, but I have a variety of foods so don't get…

We don't have anything like that in the UK.......☺

I got "application error" today when I tried to log food from my previously used foods list but it logged it when I retyped it in the search box.

Hi Judy, Welcome to MFP, this is my 3rd time on here but it's for real this time! I'm(a young) 63, retired teaching assistant from Yorkshire. I am married with a grown up son & 6 Grandkids and a lovely rough collie dog called Lucy. I don't do fads, did them in my youth....... my profile & diary is open, if you choose me as…

It's not the end of the world lass! If you're hungry you won't sleep well so have something low calorie and filling. You need to plan your day beforehand or look back on your diary for a good day and learn from that. Nobody's perfect, we all falter at some point but at least you recognise it and can look out for it in…
