Renewed Determination
Been on MFP on and off since 2013. Been back on this journey (again lol) since January, and the large majority of the people I've added on here don't seem to be active anymore. So I'm looking for more active and determined people! I'm just eating less and moving more, eating back half my exercise calories, Fitbit user, gym…

Mentally struggling
Hi all, I restarted my weight loss journey in January this year. I've not long moved into my own home with my partner, so now I have full control of my food intake (previously my in laws cooked all our meals), rejoined a gym, and I also got a (new) Fitbit since I lost my old one in the move! I've been here many times…

Protein Powder and weight loss
Hope this is in the relevant place! Been hearing a lot about protein powder in terms of losing weight Just wondering if this is something worthwhile doing for reducing hunger and increasing protein intake (which I do struggle with) I go (or aim to go) to the gym 3 times a week doing cardio and some weight training using…

Coffee and healthy eating
Up until the end of April, I was easily consuming 3ltrs of Pepsi Max each and every day. I quit cold turkey one day and soon realised (after 2 weeks of horrible withdrawal headaches) that I was headache free. Completely. Up until that point I would suffer daily headaches. I swapped my Pepsi for sugar free juice concentrate…

Appetite
Hi everyone, just after a bit of advice with regards to my appetite. Most of the day I feel as though i am always hungry, no matter how much I eat. I want to shrink my appetite but in a healthy way because I hate feeling hungry (it gives me terrible migrains) Does anyone have any advice or tips how to do it? Thanks in…

Homemade vs Shop Bought Granola
Hi all, This evening I finally got around to making my own granola. The only real reason I decided to do it was to try out my cooking skills (I'm awful at cooking!) But it got me thinking... What exactly are the benefits to me making my own granola? Having sort of worked it out (in my lazy, half assed, round about manner)…

Cheat day/Cheat meal
Who follows the idea that, mentally, we benefit from a break or cheat in our diet once in a while? I'm planning on going to an all you can eat buffet on friday night with my boyfriend. I'm hoping to fit in an hour of zumba before we go which should minimize such an overload in calories. But should I actively try and keep…

Sorry to pester...
...But just after some confirmation please! BMR = 1944 TDEE = 2673 TDEE - 20% = 2138 Now, today i've just been to the gym and burned 401 cals (exactly. I use a HRM) I know i'm not meant to eat back exercise cals as it's factored into my TDEE but i read on one of the stickies that if you net below your BMR on any given day,…

This just isn't working
In the last 30 days i've lost 1.5lbs. Well, technically, i've only lost half a pound because i've put a pound on this week! :'( I'm so disheartened. I'm sat here eating toast laden with butter. I've not had toast in over 6 months! I'm not going to sabotage the weight I have lost though. Tomorrow i'm going to back to eating…

Week 3
Hi all :) Ok so i've been eating at my BMR (1950cals) for 3 weeks now, eating back my exercise cals as well. Prior to this is was on the MFP recommended 1680cals. I understand that it will take a while for me to see the scales moving in the right direction, and I really wasn't too worried (especially as for the 1st 2 weeks…

I'm after a bit of advice
MFP sets my calorie goal at around 1620 calories a day (I'm 5foot 10inches, 25 years old and 255lbs) I've set it at a sedentary level because I work on a till and I dont move much tbh. Now, I decided to read more about the basics of weight loss regarding calorie deficits. I've work out my daily BMR is 1960 and my daily…

It may sound silly .....
..... But i believe I need a specific something to aim for to continue losing weight! Without i'm just like 'what's the point? :( I don't want to be so pesamistic but this is how my brain works at times haha I did have a something to aim for. In May, myself and my sister-in-law were going to go on a beach holiday :) we…

ONE WEEK ....
.... 6 lbs lost! :) Made up, so far so good. My only regret is that I (stupidly) decided to weigh myself on Day 3 which showed i was 6 lbsl lighter then. Which is why it was slightly disappointing when i stood on the scales and it hadn't changed from then. Especially after the 1st 3 days i didnt even exercise, and since…

Well I Never....
.... I have just walked into the kitchen (starving) past an open Terry's Chocolate Orange, and had to lean over a heaving plate of fresh homemade cake to reach the banana that i was after! I never thought I would see the day! Especially after having a 'blowout' breakfast which was over 1,000 cals. I would then normally…

What's best?
Which gym equipment is best for preventing saggy bingo wings when you've lost a lot of weight? Future thinking but best to be prepared :)

New to this site, reckon I could do with some support
Now, this isn't something I would normally do (posting on a forum) but having been through a lot of previous posts and seeing the support everyone gives each other, I thought I would give it a whirl! Hi! :) Long and short of my being here? I need to lose about 90-100lbs. I've tried Weight Watchers, Slimming World, SlimFast…
