Anyone having Fitbit syncing issues?
my Charge HR did an update yesterday and now it's not syncing with MFP. Not sure if it's similar to last time when it wouldn't sync or if my Fitbit is kaput. Anyone else having issues?

Thank you for giving me strength!
I've had a really rough week. I have split with a long term partner (4 1/2 years) and I am beyond devastated. I am so thankful for my friends that I have made on MFP. I just want to publicly thank you all for dragging my broken self through what has been one of the worst weeks of my life. I do not recommend the break up…

Resting heart rate + Weight Loss
I've had a Fitbit Charge HR since early Feb. I like to see how my resting heart rate is just from a pure geeky point of view and do take it mostly with a pinch of salt as I know there is always room for error with a HRM watch. However I have gone from having a resting heart beat of 70 odd (Last year when on BC and fat as…

Mother Nature...
Is a cruel and senseless beast. Woke up today feeling as fat as a hippo, spotty and in pain. So I had an extra breakfast biscuit. That's just how I roll. Anyone got any comfort food ideas that make you feel awesome when you feel poop? Recipes would also be appreciated. I wanna feel speshul. ;)

I feel cheated!!!
Just had some delicious British strawberries with fat free Greek yogurt. It was supposed to be a 200g serving. I weighed it out as you do... 180g! Furious. So basically I lost 20g because of the pot. Just goes to show that we really should weigh every last morsel even if it's a pre measured serving!

Hypothetical question...
Ok person A is male, has lost 14lb so far but only lost 3lb since March. Person A weighs 95% of his food and eats far too little (in my opinion) and wants to lose another 20-25lbs. Person A should be eating 1850 cals a day to lose 1lb a week. He only nets 1300 with exercise and not eating much. He hasn't lost weight in…

I'm sulking... Forgot my Fitbit :(
I have had my Fitbit since February and wear it ALL the time other than charging it or bathing. I noticed it was low on battery this morning so put it on charge before I went to work. I've left without it. I usually earn the bulk of my steps while I'm at work and now I won't have them so I'm sulking like a big girl's…

Weight loss expectation Vs Weight Loss reality!
Most of us when losing weight have expectations. These expectations are often over inflated and wishful thinking. Can I lose 10lb in three days? Will a detox help me lose a stone in a week? Is a VLCD good for me when I only have 15lb to lose? Let's face it. If any of this stuff worked, there would be no overweight people…

I'm 11 pounds from my goal...
Ok so I'm now only 11lb from my goal. Starting to think seriously about whether I want to go further (I'll be top end of a healthy BMI once I'm at goal) or whether I want to look at maintanence. Frankly maintanence scares me a little. I've worked so hard to get to this point and fought a lot of demons to reach it. I know…

Large ribcage is starting to creep me out :/
I've lost over two stone now. I noticed recently when I'm lying on my back in bed just how big my ribcage is now I've lost weight. It's gross. It sticks out WAY above my belly. Anyone else found as they've lost weight that parts of their bodies now look a bit weird. Or am I just still stuck in fat person mode and just…

Pomegranate logging help!
So, usually I have a pre packaged pack of pomegranate seeds but tonight I've scoffed an actual pomegranate. I couldn't weigh the fruit as a whole as most of it is waste and you don't eat it. Couldn't weigh the seeds as you sort of eat them Out of the fruit. 80g is usually about 44 calories. Anyone ever actually weighed the…

There's always that ONE meal that you eat too much of...
I've had a Sunday roast. I feel like my belly might burst. Ha ha. I'm a sucker for a Sunday dinner me.

Serious question I need help with...
Do I waste my last 400 calories on Maltesers or peanut butter on toast? :lol:

Bit of motivation for you all tonight...

Feeling sorry for myself. :(
I feel really low and crappy today. I am currently on Metronidazole for a stupid tooth infection, one of my old friends is getting married today and my invite never came (Which is really hard to digest as she had told me several times it was on it's way) and I feel like I have no friends. This is my trigger. Emotional…

I do love an all green day!
Nope... Not a day full of peas and brocolli. But a good Fitbit day :)

Upset a C9 cleanse seller today!
Went to a Beauty trade fair today. Some stall was selling that awful C9 aloe Vera gel gunk. She asked me if I'd like to try it. £100 for 5 days!!!! .... Me: No thanks sweetheart. I've lost 2 stone since January by eating less than I burn. It cost me nothing and real food tastes awesome. She didn't know where to put herself…

Happy 2 stone loss to me! 12.7KG O_o
YAY! I have now lost 28lbs of my unwanted heifer weight. I initially wanted to get to 10 1/2 stone but have now decided that I want to make 10st my goal so I can maintain around 10-10 1/2 happily. Time to slow the loss down now I think. I only lost 1/2lb this week so think my calorie intake NOW is still alright for me to…

If you had to pick...
only one food to eat for the rest of your weight loss journey... What would it be? I would live on bacon. Bacon is the best food ever. Lol

Well I'm 27lbs down so far!
I can tell such a difference in my face now. Black and white pic was December before I started and second pic is this morning. Thank you MFP! A stone to go! can

Any thoughts?
Ok Started my final weight loss journey hopefully ever in January. I've lost 27lbs in 15 weeks. It averages out to about 1.8lb loss a week. I have MFP set to lose 1lb a week at present and have 1480 calories. I earn fitbit calories for walking (I'm set at lightly active but walk everywhere so possibly earning more that…

I didn't lose 300lb by Friday :(
How has everyone else done this week?

Is three Jaffa Cakes ever enough?
I've had three. I've gone up to bed so I don't eat the last 5 in the packet. Seriously. These things are like crack! What's your "can't just eat three" food?

My skipping rope...
I know this should probably be in Fitness and Exercise but I feel more at home here. I found my skipping rope out on Monday. I managed to skip 2 minutes. 2 lousy minutes without stopping. How on earth did I use to skip for hours as a kid. Same with hula hoops. I used to swing one round my neck at the same time as my…

Happy Hump Day!

Where's my weight lifting people at?
Advice needed! I am interested in perhaps doing some light weight lifting to get myself started. I suffer with a painful back which has eased since losing weight but can still be incredibly sore. Am I safe to start lifting as long as I don't start trying to lift a hippo on each arm? What would you recommend for a lifting…
