Hellooo..Anyone from UK? :-)
Hello guys, Find a lot of my supporters are from the USA which is fab! But the time zones are way out and wondered if anyone from the UK was around to motivate/be motivated? Currently got my kcals at maintain level and shoot for anything below this until January (Tis the season to be jolly & all..) :-) xx

7 weeks to a trip out!
Hey guys, I have 7 weeks now to get my butt in gear and lose my goal of 7lbs (Mini target) for a daytrip out with the ladies for my cousins birthday! Trying my hardest to stick to 1200 & below for the next 7 weeks as I've been hovering around the 14-1500 mark and not losing anything anytime soon with that amount :( *sigh*…

Sugar-free redbull question...
Do you guys find caffeine helps, or hinders weight loss? My little 'un is teething right now & I've been drinking quite a bit as for 4 nights Ive had on approx 3-4hrs sleep and I'm exhausted. Drinking my water too, but just don't wanna drink it if it's gonna have an impact on my diet overall xx

Do you guys plan or grab?
Hi guys, Having a really tough few days sticking to my calorie goal & I think a lot of it is due to time-of-the-month approaching but more-so that I am sooo pants at planning and/or sticking to my meals I've decided upon! So, do you guys plan or grab? I'm trying for 1200 cals a day, anyone on a similar amount pleeasee…

Water!
Hey guys, Quick question re water.. Currently drinking around 2litres a day and just wondered - how much is enough? Is it really relative to your weight? xx

Poorly :-(
Argggggggh. Guys give me a boot up the rear today. I'm absolutely crippled with a bloody head-cold, as is my 7 month old son! All he's done is sleep, I joined him for a while but I've woken up starving! Despite having a big bowl of porridge earlier which hasn't even touched the sides. I'm probably gonna be over target…

Feeling sooo positive.
I can't believe I never stuck with this site before. Even though I've gained a tiny bit this week due to starting out exercise in a formal routine (running daily) for the last two weeks I'm SO motivated & pleased with my determination to track and manage what I eat :-) Had to share it with you guys for fear I might burst…

Question for those who run..
I recently started running/jogging, last week. I'm doing around a mile a session at the minute and running for around 10 minutes, I'm also under calorie goal and have remained that way for two weeks solid, so I decided that I'd stop doing the whole weighing every day thing as that wasnt helping or encouraging me - come to…

It might seem a minor achievement to some...
So, its been 3 weeks since I measured and....(I measure in inches!) Start: Chest (bust): 37 Waist: 33 Hips: 45 Right Thigh: 27 Right Upper Arm: 13 And today they show! Chest (bust): 35.5 Waist: 32 Hips: 43 Right Thigh: 25.5 Right Upper Arm: 11.5 I am totally proud of this right now as I've been maintaining, I think mostly…

Its probably been asked a billion times but...
Do you guys eat back your exercise calories? I'm running daily, and trying to do jump rope/walking along side it every other day and am ending up with a goal of 17-1800 as opposed to 1500 everyday but am not eating this amount.. Do you guys eat them or is it the whole point to burn off more than is eaten which is what I'd…

Activity Levels? Confused.
Hi guys, Just wondered about these activity levels that MFP designates calories with regards to.. I'm currently a full-time mum to a 7 month old boy who is crawling & go running daily (albeit not very far, I'm just starting out but at least 20 mins a night) and have currently got my setting as sedentary, would you raise…
-
Sounds silly but...
Do you guys count the calories in amounts of lettuce/cucumber? I generally only have around half a cup per serving of each with meals perhaps twice day but wondered if you guys would count them on the log? x
-
Rest days?
I started running last week and have so far only had 1 rest day out of 7, I was thinking of doing one day run, the next jump-rope, day after run etc to try and balance out my work outs.. Do you guys recommend rest days and if so how do you work them into your regime? Thanks :) x
-
Running & Muscle gain?
Hey guys.. I just wondered as I started out running, did any of you experience a maintain or even gain during the first couple of weeks in taking up a formal exercise routine i.e running every other day? I was super good last week and appear to be exactly the same weight - It is the first time, though, since the birth of…
-
GI Index?
I know the focus of MFP is predominantly calorie-counting etc, but I wondered if anyone combined/took notice of the GI index whilst following their plan? I've bought a little hand-held guide today on the GI index, really interesting & thinking of incorporating it into my eating changes xx
-
MFP's calorie suggestions...
Well, I entered my weight, movement status i.e lightly active etc and it says that I should be having 1210 a day :-s Yet other sites I have challenged to work out how many cals I should have a day are suggesting, on some, that I have between 1400 and 1600 .... Does anyone recommend around the 1500 mark to begin with and…

Question for ladies who run......
Hey girls, Excuse me if there is too much information here; there is just something that is bothering me. I began running on Monday after a full 12-18months without much exercise as I was pregnant & had a c-section 7 months ago. Only ran gently approx 1/2 a mile and built up to 2 miles gradually and gently. Found that…

Running indoors..
Hey guys, I know sounds silly, maybe, but I've really not got the confidence to go out there running right now as I live in a built up area of houses with basically nowhere but streets to run along and feel that I'd not enjoy the run like I want to.. So..my question is; Do you guys think it would be alright, until I'm a…

Really want to start running...C25K?
Hey guys, Had a baby 5 months ago & thus far have managed to lose weight without exercise apart from general baby-care & walking everywhere! But I really want to start running - been considering doing the Couch to 5k programme but find it hard to envision having time in the day! Any mums/dads out there who have kiddies…

Back for good!!
Hey guys, Thought I'd re-introduce myself as its been a while since I've used myfitnesspal! I'm Siobhan, 23 and a mummy to a beautiful 5 month old boy, Eddie-Jay. In honesty I cant blame pregnancy for my weight struggles as I actually came out nearly 2 stones (28lb) lighter! Always had issues with my weight and was 'big'…

Hi guys, really wanted to post my almost half way-mark pictures but unsure of how to do it? any help would be hugely appreciated :-) :-D Siobhan <3 xx

Hello everyone!

I'm a mum to a gorgeous 14 week old little boy Eddie, shifted the 14lb baby-weight, now onto the rest :-) Need all the support and…
