Vegetarian/Vegan & Gluten/Dairy Free
Hi all, I have some questions. I have been trying to be vegetarian and follow a gluten free diet without going to the fuss of buying GF bread etc, because it's just not practical with a family of 4 and in the Netherlands it's difficult to get hold of anyway. Does anyone have any tips for me? I find it most challenging when…

Tights to still the jiggle?
Hello, Odd question but hopefully the larger amongst us can help I hope! I have been running quite a bit recently and find that the fat bits that jiggle are actually really sore after running (mostly on my butt and upper thighs!) and I get bruises after running. I know it's not wobbling that much, but must be moving enough…

No pics, but big change (-77 lb)
Hey y'all, Just checked up on my 43things goals I set myself in 2005 (I don't know if any of you remember the 43 things craze??) Anyway, I set the goals and never checked back on them until now. Two of my biggest goals, other than normal stuff like 'be a better mom', 'tidy up' etc were 'get a driver's licence' and 'lose 40…

BodyFit Media/BodyBugg
Has anyone in Europe bought one of these to use with the USA site? Did you have any problems registering with an overseas cc? I see there is a KiFit but I am loathe to buy it from the UK as not only is it more expensive but the reports show that the website support is awful. Thanks Ashleigh

Ammonia smell in nostrils?
This has turned up again after being gone for ages! I have it after I've been working out sometimes, but now I have it all the time. No-one else can smell it, just me. I googled and apparently some other people have this when they have been working out, irrespective of carb/protein intake. Anyone else suffer the same…

Sweating - Odd Question!!
Hi all, I have an odd question for you all! Hope someone shares my experiences! I noticed I have started sweating again which for me is a GOOD GOOD thing. When I was very fat and started working out I didn't sweat at all. Even when my HR was way up there at my max and even when my face was all red and I was extremely hot…

Q for fitness experts (men's) re lightheadedness
My boyfriend just started a workout program at the gym. He is relatively fit, has 5 kilos to lose and is at 25% body fat and when they did a bleep test he comes up with a reasonable VO2max etc. My question is this: He has a 78 minute workout but for most of that time he is at his max heart rate of 173. Despite being quite…

Disclosing previous fatness to new ppl - Question!
Hey everyone, Quick question for those who have lost a lot of weight - do you tell new people that you meet that you were once morbidly obese/very overweight? I moved a couple of years ago and have new neighbours. They know I'm trying to lose weight at the moment and yesterday I let on that I had already lost 40 kilos…

Help please - calories/BMR/TDEE/diary critique
Hi everyone, I need some help. I am 5 ft 11 and currently weigh 101 kilos. My fat % and BMR have been calculated by machines at the gym which I feel are fairly accurate, as 41% and 1845 calories respectively. I have entered myself into the system as sedentary with the idea of counting all my exercise calories and eating…

Holiday in Egypt with NO MFP - Help!
I am in my tenth week of MFP and really into the habit of counting my cals now and have become fairly obsessed (in a good way though!). However, we have a week's holiday booked in a resort in Egypt from this Saturday and I am panicking a bit about being without my safety net. I purposely did NOT book an all-inclusive…

Do you spend more or less now that you eat healthy?
I am really careful of what we spend on food at home and notice that although I buy more fruit and vegetables we actually seem to spend a little less. It's still true however that junk food is cheaper than healthy stuff - although the long term cost is much higher. We spend less when we eat out because we order mains only…

Thumbs up for Precision Engineering's Proto Pure bars
No affiliation etc, but just pleased that I've found a protein bar that actually tastes nice! I had atkins before and they were like chewing cardboard so I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this one and it was nice. I don't use them all the time, just to get my protein up and if i am low on calories. I had the chewy…

Big weight loss & changes in perception of how you see yours
I'm interested to know, from those who have lost a lot of weight (100 lb or more) how your perception of yourself changed with the weightloss. Did anyone have depression/identity problems after losing weight? I am currently in therapy and we are discussing this at the moment. For example - I didn't know how persistent men…

NSV: Nothing feels as good as fitting into tights that didn'
So you have some tights ... You go to put them on and the seam on the crotch is halfway down your thighs ...So you wiggle your way into them, then you put your fingernail through them because they're stretched way beyond what they should be (and they are the biggest size you could get). So you fix that with nail polish ...…

New! Looking for fitness/weightloss buddies!
Hello, I'm new here after having used a UK based pay website for weight tracking with really good results. I lost 40 kilos over 3 years putting me really close to my goal. (BMI of 26). I unsubscribed from there recently having given this a try and the worst part was losing all my statistics! It's easy to forget how far you…
