2 Years of MFP - pics
Tomorrow marks my 2 year anniversary on MFP, my success story is slightly different from most. When I started here my weight was 272.8lbs I wore a size UK 24/26 I was 5ft 4.5 and my shoes were size 9eee. I was extremely unhealthy and a smoker, I had never dieted before and was in complete denial about my weight, I found…

15 months, 91lbs down, Finally overweight!! (pics)
Beginning stats: Height: 5ft4.5 SW:272.8 Shoe size: 9eee (extra wide fitting) Current stats: Height: 5ft 5.5 CW: 191.4 Shoe size 8 (standard width) so apparently I've grown an inch and lost a shoe size while I've been doing this! I came to MFP in Nov 2011 with the aim of getting my BMI to 30 so we could start fertility…

Where's the graph?
Am I missing it, or is it not up? x

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit...
But the highest form of intelligence!! I think MFP needs a sarcasm button. I've read so many posts where the sarcasm is BLINDINGLY obvious but people have still replied as if the OP meant what they were saying. Come on MFP, it's for the greater good!!

Different face (pics)
One of my MFP friends commented that I'm shrinking. I went to look through my old photo's on Facebook and noticed these are nearly 12 months apart. I don't know what I weighed last June but when I started here in November I was 265lbs:

Firm control underwear :/
I have currently lost 63lbs and I feel like a different person (still only half way there!). I am very fashion confident now and I'm developing my own style but I'm very wary of my loose skin, especially around my stomach. Can anyone recommend a good firm control underwear range for me to use while I'm in the process of…

Halfway there 61lb down - pics
I'm 5ft5 and my starting weight was 265.8. I have been consistently losing 10lb per month. My diary is open but it's not much to look at, Saturday is filled with alcohol and today I'm under calories because I'm hungover. I've been too lazy to exercise but I am trying to build it up a bit :drinker:

Weird TOM Cravings? Help please :)
TOM started this morning but for the first time in ages I'm not craving chocolate. I am craving meat, specifically bacon, sausage, beef, chicken or lamb (not together and not in any particular order). I just wondered if this is my body's way of telling me that I am low in a particular nutrient or if anyone else has strange…
-
What should I be tracking?
I currently track carbs, fat, protein, sodium and sugar but I want to track fiber. MFP only lets you track 5 items online, which one would you replace? I have an open diary, it's not the best looking in the world. I am open to criticism/opinion (bearing in mind I've lost 53lb in 5 months I don't think I am doing too bad!)…

How can I help my friend?
I have a friend who is trying to diet, because she knows I have lost weight she is always asking me for advice. I have tried to direct her to MFP but she says it's not for her. Sometimes I cave in and tell her the things that have worked for me, i.e watch sodium, drink plenty of water, watch calorie intake, exercise etc,…

39lb down (pics)
I'm posting this because I got a new dress today and this is the first time I have been able to tell I have lost weight. I feel so good. I still have a LONG way to go but I wanted to share. Hope this works, never posted a pic before :smile:

Cheese makes my eyes sweat!
Just had a piece of cheese with my dinner and this happened again. It starts with under my eyes and my cheekbones sweating (tingling and damp :ohwell: ) then goes to my brow bone. It seems the stronger the cheese the worse the effect. This happens to my sister but with tinned tuna. Can anyone explain why this happens/ what…

Low sodium, high protein, no nuts, ideas???
Pretty sick of the sight of tinned tuna, it's taking too much of my daily sodium levels also. I don't like ANY kind of nuts. Does anyone know a good source of protein that is low in sodium? I have an open diary so people can see my usual foods, today I'm eating what I feel like so it's not typical (but all the numbers are…
-
What do you have your daily sodium set at?
Lots of people have said to cut sodium right down in my diet. Do you have your limit set at MFP's 2500mg or have your own daily limit setting? If so what is it and why?

Help! Cardio/food question
Can someone look at my food diary and help me? I have just finished a 20 min cardio and it's 9:35pm here, do I need to eat anything apart from what I have already had? What should I be eating if I do? I last ate at 6pm when I had my Dinner

I want some BRUTALLY honest MFP friends
Don't get me wrong, I love the MFP friends I have but I would like someone who says things like "why did you eat that" "you do realise you haven't exercised for a week" "do you not do veg?" etc. Sort of like willpower and a conscience all rolled into one. Anyone up for the challenge? :happy:

Panicking about loose/hanging skin
Ah! So, just as everything is going wonderfully I've reached a point where my brain has decided to taunt me, "Yeah you're losing weight, very good, what use is slimming to a size 8 if you look like you've melted?" Does anyone have any hints/tips to stop/correct the hanging skin as I lose weight, I wouldn't want to go down…

Am I losing too fast?
I have been following this plan for 9 days and I have lost 9lbs. I am 5ft6 and weighed 262lb when I started. I haven't exercised and have been eating 1380 cals a day which should mean I lose 2lb a week. Am I doing something wrong? I would hate to get ill or slip back because the weight is coming off so easily x
