Weather and your motivation
So I live in the uk where most of the time it’s pretty gloomy. Today the sun is out for once and it’s warm and I feel so motivated to workout and eat healthy. My mood is generally happier as well even though I’m in work for the next few hours lol Does anyone else find that the weather effects their motivation or is it just…

Chocoholics
I’m not sure why but for the last two weeks I’ve eaten my body weight and some in chocolate. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been maintaining for afew months and have relaxed too much but I feel like crap. I’m usually around 9stone but I weighed myself the other day and I’m 9st 11lbs 😳 I’m absolutely gutted. I usually…

Emotionally eating
So I’ve started to notice a pattern. Every time me and my hubby have a huge argument I stay up and eat everything in sight healthy and unhealthy. When I’m doing a sleep shift at work (support work) I emotionally eat (very stressful at the moment). I do this atleast once a week and I’m now sick of it!!! This coming week I’m…

No takeaway for a month

So I’ve decided from tomorrow for a whole month I’m going to not get takeaway and instead put the money we…

Nann bread

Apple Watch total calories
Hey guys I’m trying to maintain and I use an Apple Watch (not sure what speck) and I was looking at my total calories burned today which is 2200 (daily moving +exercise) I’ve never thought about this until just now but does that mean that today I could have eaten 2200 calories and still be maintaining or just stick to my…

Calories burnt per day
I’m just curious as to how many exercise calories people burn per day wether losing or maintaining weight. I saw someone’s calorie burn from their Apple Watch and it said 1400 exercise calories burnt for that day 😳 I can just about burn 700 on exercise days.

Anyway....we always have a snack of some kind we can all pick at. Now we…

Crustless Malted bloomer
I’m trying to figure out how many calories are in a slice of crustless malted bloomer, I never eat the crusts lol The packaging says it’s 108cals per slice but I’ve looked on the internet and just can’t find anything on the calories without the crust. Anyone got any ideas on the calorie amount

Christmas time
I’m just wondering if anyone else is not giving two craps about what they are eating over the next 3 days or so. Struggling mentally with food and exercise and calorie counting I’ve decided to give myself 3days off from it all. I’m still going to stay active and I’m not going to completely binge but I want to have fun with…

Struggling with maintenance
This is my first ever post so please be gentle. So 3years ago I weighed in over 15stone. After having my daughter I had a health scare and had my gallbladder removed due to infection. After this I thought I needed to sort myself out so downloaded MFP and brought an elliptical trainer. My goal was 9 stone. My problem is now…
