Can I have a whoop for normal range bmi!
This morning I went from 'overweight' to 'normal' bmi! I know it doesn't mean much, but as a milestone towards my goal *ideal weight* it feels pretty good.

It's not me, it's the clothes...
Firstly I'll be clear : 31 year old female, I'm not skinny, but I'm in normal bmi (just!). Today I looked in the mirror, when I got out of the shower and thought what looked back was actually, well ok! There are certainly improvements to be made but yes I didn't feel fat. Then I got dressed and looked again. My clothes are…

It's all relative..
The last time I weighed this much was a year and a half ago. I'd lost about 25lb to get here, and I stopped losing because I'd reached my goal and felt great. I got to buy all lovely new smaller clothes, people complimented me it was great. Then I slowly put back on 11lb and enough was enough so I'm back here. But this…

Elephant bum vs muffin top?!
A friend said to me the other day, I can tell you've lost weight you've got elephant bum! Now as I considered whether this was an insult or compliment she explained that the weight loss had caused my old larger trousers to sag in the bum! Great I thought - time to dig through the thin half of my wardrobe for the next size…

Feeling rubbish!
So this is exactly 4 week since the diet began, weight loss is 10 whole pounds, and I'm very proud. Today I decided I'd treat myself and have take out, it was planned fit into my cal intake limit so I felt good about it.

Cravings: lack of will power or something it needs?
Hi all! I think I need motivation or well I'm not sure?! I've been vege for many years and always found any food cravings to be linked with dietary deficiencies ( ie cravings for foods I don't even like that on reflection contain things I haven't fed my body for a while) But since starting mfp and mostly sticking ( theres…
