Break up appetite - under and over eating
Hi All, I am processing a horrendous break up that began Christmas Eve, and we lived together so we are still in contact as we have to get tenancy changed and I have been sofa hopping so very stressful. Since Christmas when it all happened up until last week, I completely lost my appetite and lost about a stone (14 pounds)…

Weight loss plan used to work but alas no more?!
Hey everyone, I know there's a lot of these types of posts but I'd really appreciate your advice. Long story short: Iv been trying to lose weight on and off since I was a kid. I'm also a recovering binge eater. Last summer I lost around 15 pounds in 4/5 weeks not binging, eating 1200 a day and barely any exercise. After a…

I wasn't entirely sure which section the belongs in so forgive me! I'm 5'5. 130 pounds. I carry fat on my thighs and butt. My body is average. I work out sporadically. I will have a few days of 1200-1500 then a few days where I don't log. Sometimes I binge and sometimes I undereat as I used to have an eating disorder. But…

Started lifting, calories, macros, fat loss...HELP!
Hey guys, So I am seriously confused, IV had two sessions with my trainer and while I try to ask him he just sort of says 'just eat this till I tell you otherwise" and I need to understand WHY I'm doing it! So it's not going very well. Basically he has me on 2000 calories a day, 40/40/20 (I think) but because i don't…

What my trainer has asked me to eat
Okay so tomorrow I start the first of ten sessions with a trainer. I'm currently around 140 at 5'5 and am a complete cardio low calorie idiot. He is going to teach me to lift and said he will slowly increase my calories to get my metab back up and get the fat off. His breakfast for me before our first session is 3 whole…

Personal trainer - waste of money?
Hey guys, so tomorrow I'm meeting with a PT for an initial consultation. Him and his other half work together and are both competitors etc so I would consider them the real deal opposed to those personal trainers you see at the gym who seem useless! Anyway, he's expensive, but I'm having ten one to one sessions which also…

I can eat clean, I'm really interested in it and my exercise routine is currently various classes (boxing, Zumba, spinning) and a 5k, I try to do…

Recovering from binging-carb heavy-opinions?
Hello everyone :) I was wondering if I could get your opinions? After several years of under eating then severe binging I am in therapy for it and although weird it's going well.

Would love your opinion on my diet:
Hi everyone, I know these sorts of posts can get annoying but I have a few reasons for asking. I have a history of binging and starving so my ideas of dieting are pretty warped. Im ready to do this properly, and i mean REALLY properly to get one of those ripped beachbody physiques! So i need my diet to be pretty dead…

Is it really as simple as mfp?
Hi guys, this seems like a stupid question but is your weight loss all due to simply mfp (or similar) and exercise? Iv recently put back on (again) 20-30 pounds due to stress related binging, i lost the weight doing a stupid crash diet. All iv every done is look for a quick fix or a magic diet but 10 years on im still 40…

Stuck-female weights/resistance workout?

Im slowly getting my eating where it needs to be to lose that final 20-30 pounds and get lean but im struggling with exercise. Iv built up my running for cardio and I cycle to and from work (I work 3/4 days a week 12 hour shifts as a…

Weekly calorie goal vs daily
Hiya everyone, im new to mfp but have always tracked when being "good"! I find that when losing weight if I plan to eat clean or specific foods I just cant do it...id rather have a punnet of grapes than a sandwich! Anyway, im currently on a 12 week placement in a hospital as im a student nurse so I work 12.5 hour shifts,…

New ofcourse! Any students out there?
Hey everyone. I find tracking really useful but iv been slack recently (and gaining grr) so decided to get back on my unused mfp account! After having my heart well and truly ripped apart two months ago iv lost a bit through not eating and stress...but recently, starting placement (im a student nurse) iv been over eating…
