Underweight, trying to maintain but really scared to stop losing weight.
Hi, I've suffered with anorexia and bulimia on and off for the past 30 years (I'm 51 now). I've been fine for the last 5 years. I wanted to lose a couple of pounds in February to prepare for 2 big upcoming holidays so that I could enjoy my holiday food and still be a good weight for summer. Anyway, that couple of pounds…

UPDATE, IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED
So, I've been quiet lately, hoping to come back with good news. There is none, other than the fact that today I made an appointment with the lead mental health specialist at our local hospital. I've been putting this off but I realise that it's needed. BMI as of the last 2 days - 16.5, although it was 16.1 last week…

Eating just under MFP given maintenance calories and it's predicting I'll put on weight!
Just that really. MFP gives me 1470 cal's/day to maintain. I've eaten 1458 calories and just closed my diary. It says I'll gain 1lb over 5 weeks. What?? 🤔

How to log an ear of corn???
Hi, I bought some fresh corn and am really looking forward to eating it (it's been 2 years since my last one! 😭) and I'm sorting out my food diary for today and have just tried searching the USDA database and then the database here for the correct (ish) nutritional value. There's soooo many options! I'll be boiling the…

Are there any cheese makers here? Help needed with calorie count.
Hi, I used to make my own goat cheese (pre weight loss) but my supply of fresh milk ran out so I've not made it since January. I started calorie counting at the end of February. I'm at maintenance now (hurrah! 😁) but of course I need to still count calories. I've just found another goat milk source and really want to start…

Help! My bathroom scales battery has just died! (Lighthearted)
Exactly that 😱 I live in a remote area and there is nowhere local to buy a replacement battery so I must order online.

Can anyone figure out how Libra has come up with this month's weight loss please? June 1st I was 111.4lbs Today I'm 109.8lbs It's showing a 2lbs loss. How can that be right? Surely it should be 1.6lbs?

Help! I've lost more weight than I intended to and need to think about maintaining.
Hi, I started out wanting to lose a few lbs before 2 holidays came up, so that I could enjoy my food (as per usual...then). One holiday (10 day duration) has already passed and I regularly went over my maintenance calories but still ended up with a 2lbs loss. Since then I'm still losing (5.2lbs in 14 days). The next…

Purslane. How do you eat yours?
It's purslane season here now (hurrah!) and I bought 3 bunches today. I usually mix it with cacık (natural yoghurt, garlic, dried mint & lemon juice) but as I'm lucky enough to have got so much, and it needs eating within the next 3/4 days, I was wondering if anyone has any different ideas?

I walk at about 4 mph if that's relevant. I'm a 5ft 4 inch, 50 year old female. Current weight is 112.2lbs. Any help in working out…

Does anyone swim regularly?
Hi, I'm fairly inactive at the moment (health reasons) but will be able to swim when our pool opens in May. If you swim regularly have you noticed it toning you up? How often, for how long and what swim stroke do you use? I can only do breaststroke but I'm hoping that that will make a difference to the good layer of flab…

I Just Don't Get It!
I started counting calories and logging religiously 3.5 weeks ago. I weigh everything that goes into my mouth and have tried to walk as often as I can, although I have chronic fatigue and arthritis symptoms due to cancer treatments so it's not daily but I'm walking a lot more than I was before. When I started cutting down…

Any Ladies In Gökova, Ula, Turkey?
Just that really. I'd like to start walking but get totally bored on my own so don't go out very often. If I had a walking friend I know I'd make the effort more. Anyone care to join me? I'm female too btw! 😂

Aromatase Inhibitors (Femara) & Weight Gain/Loss
Hi, I've been taking Femara for about 18 months now and am finding it hard to lose the excess weight that previous breast cancer treatments (surgery, chemo and radiotherapy) resulted in. I'm wondering if it's the pills? Does anyone else have any weight issues on these tablets?

Always over on carbs.
Every day my diary shows that I'm way over on my carbs allowance. This is through vegetables, I haven't eaten bread/pasta/rice at all since starting 3 weeks ago. Oh, and a nightly beer which I'm not going to give up😂 I've increased my carb allowance to 55% to try to not show an excess but this still isn't enough. Should I…
