A stone in 5 weeks?!
I need to lose a stone in 5 weeks. I had my fourth baby in February. I have lost a total of 17 lbs so far... it's been slow and steady. However... I am bridesmaid at my sisters wedding in august and the dress will look awful on me at my current weight. I'm usually slim and toned but after having a baby and putting 3 stone…

Doesn't make sense
I suffered a miscarriage last month and as a result I stopped calorie counting for just over two weeks. I didn't go to the gym much either. I calorie counted for a few days and went over 1200 on those days. I weighed myself for the first time today and I've lost 5lbs. I looks slimmer and my clothes are baggier so it's not…

Found out why
So I posted a few times how since I started exercising a month ago my weight loss has stopped. I found out last week I was actually pregnant. Unfortunately yesterday I suffered a miscarriage... Since yesterday I can't stop comfort eating. Dieting and healthy food has gone out the window and it's making me feel even more…

Nothing happening
I was losing weight at a good rate of one pound per week through calorie counting alone. Since I started excersing (body pump classes twice a week and also a cardio/toning class once a week) the scales haven't moved. They went down by 4lbs the first week of exercising, then went back up theee pounds the following week.…

Struggling and down
I am so down I can't stop crying about my weight. I had my baby in February and have been calorie counting, I've lost a pound each week so far. Since I've started excersing 2 weeks ago my weight has gone up a few pounds and won't shift. It's making me really depressed. I hate the way I look, I put so much weight in when I…

So confused
So I've been calorie counting since the end of February. (I have three stone of baby weight to lose)... so far I've lost 1 pound per week, not gained at any point. I weigh myself every Friday morning. I hadn't excercised at all up until last week. I did two exercise classes and moaned on here that I'd still only lost 1…

Getting frustrated
I had my fourth baby February 6th, weighed my self February 22nd and started counting calories. I needed to lose 2 and a half stone to get to pre pregnancy weight, and a further stone to my goal weight. I've lost 9lb so far, which has been about a pound loss every week (except last week, after Easter I gained 1lb). I have…

School holidays
Finally my kids go back to school tomorrow! Well sort of, my youngest doesn't go back until Wednesday, but the eldest two are tomorrow. Which means I can finally get back into a routine. With my husband working away for the majority of the school holidays (7weeks this year!) I haven't been able to go to the gym regularly.…

How much gain?
Just wondering, how much weight can you actually put on in a week? Not water weight, fat. I went on a family holiday last week, ate stuff I don't normally touch and didn't count my calories for 4 days (had ice cream sundaes, Chinese takeaway, biscuits etc) I have come back feeling so fat and miserable. I haven't weighed…

Weight during hot weather
I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow, but I'm just wondering... It's been really hot here in the UK, we reached 31 degrees today, I have done nothing but sweat ALL day! I've been drinking a lot more too. Question is, am I more likely to retain water during this heatwave because I might be slightly dehydrated? Or will it be…

Self loathing, ladies time
I don't know what I'm hoping to achieve by posting this, maybe I just need to vent and see if anyone else feels the same as me? .... Every month, when it's ladies time, I go through a really depressive stage of self loathing. About 11 days before my period my appetite increases, then a few days after that I get hot…

Causing gas TMI post
Every time I have a meal replacement bar or a protein bar I get really bad gas... Like really bad. Does this happen to most people or is my body not coping well with the ingredients? I like them because it feels like a treat but gives me protein and keeps me feeling fuller for longer. Has anyone that has the same problem…

Obsession due to past
Throughout my child hood I was seen as the 'fat one' out of me and my younger sister. She is 3 years younger and used to be really skinny. I loved food and would always ask for more. My dad and sister used to ridicule me for it, infront of guests at the dinner table he would say 'give your leftovers to the bin' (meaning…

Painful knees
The more I work out the more painful my knees get. I do classes like aerobics, body combat, body pump etc. I have checked my form when lunging and squatting and it's fine. So why are my knees hurting? Even going up the stairs is painful :( when I have a few days off they're ok but as soon as I workout again it starts. Its…

Feeling guilty
It's that time of the month due any day now so all week I've been craving sugar, mainly chocolate. I've been substituting with other things and allowed chocolate within my calorie goal each day however... Last night I binged, 700 calories of chocolate was consumed. I was still at a deficit but I feel so guilty! Today has…

Goal/motivation pics?
just wondering if any of you are trying to get back down to a previous weight/ size? I don't know what weight I was here but I want to be this size again, I remember feeling really great in my swimsuit. Would love to feel like that again! Reckon I have another 14- 21lbs to go.

I need nearly all of them
I eat nearly all of my exercise calories. My daily allowance (not including exercise cals) is 1200, I just can't seem to get full/ feel satisfied. I'm constantly hungry, my stomach rumbles and hurts and I struggle to sleep. When I eat nearly all of my exercise calories It's so much better but I feel guilty. I've read that…

That time of the month

Exercising when sore?
After having a little holiday in Wales last week I went to my first body pump class in over a week on Monday (three days ago). I woke up tuesday sore all over, today is even worse (is it weird that I like being sore after a workout?!) anyway... My question is, is it wise to continue exercise when youre still aching or…

Hungry after a nap?
I'm always hungry after I've taken a nap during the day. Even if it's only for ten minutes I wake up starving. Anybody know why?

I gained :(
I know I shouldn't complain gaining a pound after three calorific meals last week but I can't help but feel like I've really let myself down. It makes me want to give up :( feel so disheartened this morning.

Tgi Fridays brownie obsession
so my husband treated me and the kids to a meal at tgi Fridays (UK) last night. I had the chicken quesadillas, told myself I wouldn't have dessert but in the end I caved, oops. We had the brownie obsession to share. When I got home I checked the calories on MFP and Google and it comes in at 1200! Does anyone know if this…

MFP ex calories way off
I decided to buy a polar fitness watch with a HRM at the weekend and so glad I did. Just did a bums and tims class, MFP estimates I burnt 340 calories, whereas my watch had calculated only 240. Has anyone else found MFPs estimations way off?

Doesn't show my weightloss?
my profile is saying I've lost 0lbs but I've lost 6 and logged my weight each time. Why is it not showing up? It's not a big deal, just wondering if I've done something wrong x

Terrified
Hi, never posted here before but have been using MFP since January. Just wanted to get something off my chest... I am terrified of stepping on the scales every week :( I have always had issues with my weight and used to weigh myself everyday, get stressed over tiny fluctuations and obsess over it. I stopped weighing myself…
