Using the 5-week projected weight to validate my logging
Was wondering if anyone else does something like this... Quick background - joined MFP in 2011 after the birth of my youngest.

Appetite and hunger
Hi - been on this site off and on for over 10 years. Have lost and regained the same 15(ish) kilos more times than I like to recall.

Like 80-90% of max at a work rate where I'm usually thinking I should start working harder. Now I'm not super-fit, am slightly overweight, but have a reasonably low resting pulse (sub 55). I've also…

Sugar limit so low!
Hi. Never calorie counted before so please forgive obvious ignorance! Was surprised to see I was blowing the sugar goal for each day. When I explored why it turns out that a few pieces of fruit blow the budget out of the water! Surely fruit is a good thing to eat? Do others hit their sugar target? How do you do it eating a…

New to all this, want to lose the baby weight
Hi there. Just back to work after the second and last baby and can barely fit any of my old clothes. Hard to stop snacking as my super fit husband and small kids eat continuously! Any friends in the same boat would be so welcome!
