Help me understand please!
Hi - I've just started MFP up again after reaching my goal weight last year and now realising that it'd been creeping up again. I'm still well within what I deem a healthy weight and am just looking to lose 3.5kg (7lb) to get back to my feel-good weight again (I'm 1m66 and want to get back to 65kg). Anyhow, so MFP has…

Anyone in the Middle East?
I'm in Dubai... just curious really, since I've seen several Al Marai products on the database!

How to make the transition to maintenance?
Hi! I'm very pleased to say I'm now off the plateau (cue manic grin!) - possibly due to the sheer prospect of having to go down the gym (haven't yet!) and/or upping my water intake. Thanks a million to all those who offered advice. Anyhow, now I'm facing a different issue - the weight seems to be dropping off at an…

There's one that is a stonking 850 cals per slice. Anyhow, I saw in the supermarket today that there's "diabetics' flour" which has reduced…

Does the outside temperature make a difference?
I've been wondering, as I'm sitting here in 35 degrees C, sweating away as I sit on the sofa, if the environmental temperature effects the number of calories we burn (it has to, surely!) and if so, by how much? Are there any "precise" figures we can attribute, like "add 50 to normal cals burned if temp is over 30, add 75…

How come my weight loss seems so fragile?!
I'm having a bit of an off-day today, so apologies! I've been sticking really well to my calorie goals (1550 a day), but for the last 3 weeks, I've hardly lost an weight at all! Coupled with that is the fact that over the weekend, I seem to have put on a couple of pounds, bringing back to where I was 3 weeks ago! I'm…
