When is it time to stop?
I have been calorie counting on this site for over 3 years now and have lost 3 stone. I had a 6 month break when I put half back on but now I’m at my lowest weight ever although still don't feel happy and feel like I never will be. The question I have is when is it time to stop? I’m on this app on my iPhone most of the…

Still confused about calories, goals & exercise
I have lost about 3 stone so far but I still feel I've got 7-10 pounds to lose. I am 5 foot 8 and 143 pounds currently eating 1450 calories as I have my goals set to 1lb loss a week. Should I have this set to 0.5lbs now with so little to lose? Basically I ate within my calories easily through the week and then overeat on a…

Do you celebrate the small losses?
I'm down to my final 10 pounds and I've noticed the losses are becoming smaller and smaller. I lost 0.5 pounds in 2 weeks for example. I'm trying not to be disheartened by this so I wondered whether you personally celebrate the small amounts you lose....obviously I don't mean celebrate by eating naughty foods but celebrate…

Will 10 to 14lb really make that much difference?
I started my journey at 182lb and I'm 5ft 8in with a goal of 150lb. I reached that last week and currently weigh 148.8. I have now re-set my goal to 140lb because I still feel there is more to go and my ultimate goal is 135lb. Basically my question is…will the further 10 to 14lb make much of a difference, particularly to…

Would YOU exercise on your birthday?
So a week on Thursday is my birthday and I usually get up at 5.15am for an hour spin class at 6.30am which I really enjoy. However some people have said I should give it a rest as it's my birthday, especially as I go to the gym/pool 6/7 days a week. Is it alright for me to go as usual or does it make me "sad" for going?

Confused about calories
I exercise 5 days a week and whether I am on an exercise day or a rest day, I always tend to net 1400. The last 2 weeks I have remained the same weight and I am wondering if I have my calorie intake wrong? I have been losing for months so this last couple of weeks has thrown me slightly.

Best friend's wedding next weekend....what to do?
I am invited to the full day which includes champagne on arrival, wine with a 3 course meal and then a bar through the afternoon/evening. I appreciate dieting shouldn't stop people doing things and enjoying themselves but what on earth am I going to do to at least try to stay within the boundaries? I will swim for an hour…

Mid-morning and mid-afternoon Snacks
Hello. I've been on MFP for about 3 years and have lost about 2 stone (although 5 pound of that has gone back on over Christmas). Anyway, I'd like to lose a further stone, perhaps more. I find the most difficult times of the day around 11am and 3pm as I'm not quite ready for lunch or dinner but start to feel hungry. I have…
