I'll give it a bash as it is my goal for the month

I am in the UK, going to Rosemary Conley, finding that calorie counting and using this site has helped me lose 2 stone in 6 months, nothing spectacular, but it is steady. Find what works for you and stick to it. If you have a week or two where you don't lose much don't give up. Make sure you eat your full calorie…

I am having off the diet days on Xmas day and boxing day, new years eve and day. I will log stuff but I know I will be over but it is not like I will eat like that everyday. I plan to try and go to the gym when it is open and try and offset my increased calorie intake over the next 2 weeks. Good luck to e drone in what…

I am having "off the diet days" though not pigging out on Christmas Day, boxing day, new years eve and new years day, but for the rest of the time it is stick to the diet day and doing some exercise either at the gym when it is open or going out for a walk. I feel that one of the reasons I am overweight is that I use any…

If you stick to a low calorie intake your metabolism will slow and you will find it harder to lose weight.MFP allocates you a calorie allowance below your daily needs then you will still lose weight. MFP will reduce your calorie allowance as you lose weight until you get to your maintence weight. I find it hard to eat all…

Whilst saving calories for the evening may be a shirt term solution it will not help in the long run as you need to try and manage your binge eating. There is a very good book which I use with clients who binge eat. It is designed for people to use by themselves. Getting better bit(e) by bit(e) by Janet Treasure and Ulrike…

I personally think that the calories they give for exercise are v generous. Your MFP calorie goal will give you a target which is under your normal allowance so you lose weight. Views on exercise calories and eating them varies, personally I don't eat them, banking them in case I go over in the week. With the calorie…

I am over for today and yesterday by about 400 calories but had a net saving of 1100 since Tuesday. I try to keep within my daily allowance but for those days I don't I try to make sure I have savings from the week

add me, whilst you do need to find some internal discipline having support in losing weight is a big part of succeeding.

This is a great book for binge eaters - gettingb etter bit(e) by bit(e) by Janet Treasure and Ulrike Schmidt. it is available on Amazon. It is a few years old but it is the book recommended by my local eating disorders team. I am using it to work with someone who binge eats and they are finding it helpful. Good luck

The message is right and you will find weight loss harder to have if you eat too few calories. You need to look at what you are eating and try and increase your calorie count if you find that eating all day is not helpful for you. When you plan your meals try and incarease the amount of protein you have. Look at your…

well done, I am just starting but it is good to see people sticking to things and succeeding. Good luck for the rest of it!

With you on this one, good luck all

Hi and welcome I think most of us find it easier to do the right thing for others and not for ourselves. My advice is plan your meals out for the week before you do the shopping and have an idea of what you get for the calories you get each day. if you do nothing else walk for 5 minutes each day and gtry and build it up.…

Hi I have 1/3 of my body weight to lose and have just started. i don't imagine it will be easy but I am prepared to give it a go. I am doing the Rosemary Conley diet plan which starts with 1200 calories a day for 14 days, no alochol and even fruti and veg are calorie coutned. I imagine it will be hard work but will take it…
