How many times have I been here? Too many!
I've been here - numerous times. My Achilles heel is when I get below 200lbs. I lose focus and end up putting it all back on again. I find myself back up at 214lbs after four months away from MFP. Most of my friends deleted me through inactivity - so here I am looking for more nice people to help me. Feel free to add me,…

What happened to my face? 32lbs down from my heaviest!
I found this picture on my phone from the last time I used MFP. I never shared it on here though as I immediately started to put the weight back on after the photo on the right was taken and it would have felt misleading.... I am now back down at 202lbs and cannot believe the difference 32lbs can make!! The picture on the…

Going the 5:2 way! Anyone else on that train?
From Monday next week I will be adopting the 5:2 way of dieting (or living). Really excited to try it. I have a few friends who have already done it and been successful, but if anyone else is doing it feel free to add me, or invite me to add you! :happy:

I want to shake the hands of every jogger I see!
When I go for a walk every night I come across a lot of runners and joggers. I realise how hard it is to do. I did the C25K programme before and was very proud when I completed it. I kept it up for a while then stopped. As I see people jog, I want to give them applause, cheer them on and shake their hands. But that would…

Back, again. Can we be friends? :)
Hi guys, Got to be honest - I have been here before - twice. Dieted hard, lost weight and stopped using MFP. Then put it all back on again. This time rather than dieting I am just trying to be sensible. Historically I have aimed to lose 2lbs per week which means quite drastic restrictions of calories. Now I have set my…

Back again, this time for long term.
Hello All! This is the second time I have been on here, was around last year and I lost 20lbs which was about half my goal then I lost motivation and routine through moving house! Decided after seeing pictures of myself on a recent holiday I better get working hard at this - decided not to treat this as a diet but a…

Best breakfast to stop hunger till lunch?
Hey all, Currently I am having two slices of wholemeal bread with butter for breakfast but my hunger pangs kick in around 11am. The only access I have at work to a quick snack is a vending machine full of temptation so I would rather avoid that! What do you guys recommend to keep the hunger away till after 12pm?

A weight visualisation list anyone?
Does anyone have a list of weight loss examples. I was thinking something like 1lb is _______ 2lb is _______ etc etc all the way up to as much as possible! Will help me appreciate what I have lost instead of just seeing it as a number... Cheers

Does anyone have any recipes for an energy boost bar?
Hey, Wondered if anyone had a recipe for an energy bar I could use before going to the gym? They are so expensive and I would rather make my own if I can. Would also be good if they could be stored in the freezer so I can make a big batch then defrost as I need them. Thanks in advance! :smile:

I go over my sugar allowance eating fruit?!
I always seem to go slightly (10-25g) over my sugar intake. After looking into it I see its mostly coming from the fruit I eat.... Is it a bad thing to go over even if its fruit that's putting you over? I have cut out all sugar from my diet - the only sugar I have comes from what I eat day to day. Thanks in advance for…

What is the Zig Zag Calorie Method?
Hey, Been reading about the zig zag method. I know it involves having the odd excessive day so you don't let your body get used to your intake? But how often should you have a excessive day and does it work? Thanks! :-)

Hello Everyone!
As I am sure lots of other people have - I downloaded the App, then Christmas and New Year came and things went a little off track but I am back and as of Friday last week I have started my diet and exercise! Need to lose about 2.5 stone to feel happy with myself again so I have a long journey ahead. Decided to jump on…
