The HUNGER Games
Well I first got involved with MFP in July/August last year. It went really well and I was within sniffing distance of my goal weight.... and then it all fell apart around about October. I just got so hungry and never seemed to feel "full" no matter how much I ate. Exercise took a back seat (I reduced it at first then it…

Calling all runners!

Oh hello weight plateau, I've been expecting you!
So I have lost about 12lbs over the last 6 weeks or so (yay) and KNEW that the dreaded weight plateau was going to rear it's ugly head sooner or later and lone behold! Here it is! The only up side is that my mum was visiting over the weekend and we ate out twice so I thought I may put on weight this week. I usually average…

BMI - what should I aim for?
Ok so I have been pissing about at work today (again) and looking up my BMI. I put it into a calculator and this is what it said: "Do you need to lose weight?: Maybe… Just a little Your weight is within your healthy weight range. You have a BMI of 23.5- a BMI of 18.5-25 is categorised as healthy. However, you could lose up…

Why did you stop eating meat?
Not sure if this is in the right topic group but what the hell. I was just curious to know why all of you vegetarians/vegan/etc decided to give up meat? I have recently given up meat. It started about a year ago when I noticed that I would be cooking meals for me and my then boyfriend and I would be dishing up my portion…

Couch to 5k on Sunday
Hello everyone I thought that I should take this time to say that the whole reason I am on MFP is because I am running a 5k race (this Sunday - eeeep). I started the couch to 5K programme (the 6 week one) and it has transformed me into a massive exercise and calorie control lunatic (ok maybe not to that extreme, but I do…

Obsessively looking at other people's food diaries on here
Ok - perhaps obsessively is a bit of an over statement. But I do find myself looking at other people's food diaries on here ALL the time. Before I joined MFP I never gave it much thought to be honest, what other people ate within a day. My question is I suppose, does anyone else do this? (creeping about other people's…

Simple meal - vegetarian (my favourite)
I'm part Italian so I LOVE spaghetti and sauces! I have recently given up meat (gone off the taste of all meat completely) so I thought that spaghetti would be one of the hardest meals I'd give up (with out beef mince) This is one of my favourite meals. Ingredients: wholewheat spaghetti tin chopped tomatoes (or if you can…

SO FRUSTRATED!!!! (weight loss)
Ok so for the last 5 weeks I have been: Exercising every second day (at least! If not every day), which includes running, spinning and sit ups. Eating well. Keeping within my daily calorie count (1200) and actually eating healthily! This also means that I feel as though I am “missing out”. Missing out on lunches/dinners…
