Calorie intake whilst breastfeeding
I am very new to the calorie counting game - I have only ever used Slimming World to lose weight before but have recently decided I’d prefer to use proper fats like olive oil instead of that hideous frylight, and not be strung up by the sun police for eating avocado! I have a pretty sedentary lifestyle other than being at…

are you enjoying food MORE now you're being healthier?
just something i noticed as i made my packed lunch last night of smoked salmon & avocado pasta. i actually seem to be eating tastier, more satisfying and flavoursome food than i did when i was filling myself up with crap. i may not have lost much weight yet, but i feel better just for taking more care over my food choices…

so angry at myself.
just weighed in for the first time since starting.... the scales put me at 15lb more than my starting weight. i'm so upset. i've been having such a positive week, eating well and enjoying it. now i just want to crawl under my duvet and not come out again. supposed to be going out with my work crowd tomorrow, to a steak…

upping calorie intake.
started out on a 1200 daily goal, but have decided to up to 1370 as finding that i continously go over my cals by about 100. i burn about 300 cals a day with exercise currently. 5"4, 165lb, is this okay?

i think i'm ready
okay so i've been back on MFP for about two weeks now, really settled back into it and my motivation is up. i could really use some new friends. i promise to be interactive and encouraging, and i also love to cook so i can keep you updated with yummy recipes :) i don't mind who you are, where you're from, or how much you…

yummy beef noodle salad!
based (very) loosely on a dish i had in a fantastic japanese restaurant, i've made my own version that is delicious cold, a perfect lunchbox idea at around 350 cal! (serves 2) 300g frying steak 400g fine noodles (i like marks and sparks ones best) spring onions, chopped (add to taste) 300g mangetout, chopped soy sauce (or…

i think i might be a bit too dim for this.
i'm sure i used to be kinda bright. thought i'd jump on mfp for some help. however, so far i have been confused the HELL out of. what are all these shortened phrases? where did you all learn to become such fitness gurus? can't i just live by the mantra of 'eat less, move more' for weight loss, or is it so much more…

stretch marks!
i've gained two stone in the last year and a half and it's left me with horrible purple stretch marks all down my inner thighs and my hips. i'm hoping these will eventually fade down, but has anyone found a way to either speed up the fading process or lessen the damage left behind? (ie the dents left) i'm going on holiday…

sugar overload?
hi! i've only been back on MFP for two days, but already noticing that i go past my sugar allowance before i've finished lunch! it seems to come mostly from my breakfast, which i have to eat at work, and generally consists of fruit and cereal bars/biscuits. is this going to stop me losing weight? i dont seem to be going…

UK ladies - cheap workout gear?
hello my lovelies, i'm going back to the gym (noooooo), and basically it is a bloody fashion parade in there, full of fancy people head to toe in nike :( is there anywhere i can get non-expensive gym clothing? i don't care if it's a name brand, i just want proper stuff without a feisty price tag!

desperados need some pushing!
hi! i'm not new but i'm re-starting out on mfp because i drifted away for a while.... and on drifted half a stone. i could really do with some new friends who can bully me into submission (literally....maybe) would love to hear from you all. i'm very nice, promise.

eating out.
hii, i'm going for a massive lunch with the girls tomorrow, but don't want to overdo it, what should i do? should i have a smaller breakfast and dinner? and what's the best sort of food to choose? pretty standard restaurant, not a specialty one or anything. at the same time as wanting to eat carefully, i don't want to be…

bloody terrified!
hi all! i'm sophie, and this is my first attempt at losing weight. i'd like to point out that the picture is an old one, and i'm looking to be about that size again. my problem is that i'm scared i'm going to relapse straightaway. i just need a bit of a push for the willpower i think. so feel free to be-friend me,…
