61lb gone - half way there
Hi all, Thought I'd post this - although won't be for everyones taste as I have been doing a VLCD (cleared by the Dr). In the next 1-2 months I will be moving back to MPF and I have started this week to increase my cardio. Anyhow, here is a before and after - I started dead on 300lb and have lost 61lb (as of Tuesday, will…

Disounted Gym Membership - UK
Not sure if this will help anyone else, but I recently saw my nurse and have been referred to a Gym programme run in Bexley borough. It is 12 weeks of part-time PT and half price membership (you have to sign up for a year) - so £20 a month for unlimited gym and swimming. Thought I should share in-case it can help anyone…

Ideal Weight
Hi all, I'm currently on a VLCD (I know the risks, thanks) and will be using MFP after I have finished to help maintain my weight loss. At the moment I've set a target loss of 125lb (started at 300lb) but to be honest I just plucked that out of the air and according to the BMI calculator this still makes me overweight. Is…

Restaurnts!
Hey all, Keen to understand what people generally do when they go to restaurants? Yesterday I went to Strada in London and had a Pancetta salad. I really have no idea how I would go about logging this! In the end I found the Pollo Pancetta salad @ Pizza Express but this was 916 cal which I am pretty sure would be more than…

So far so good
So I started back on MFP just over two weeks ago (1st October) and so far it's going pretty well.... I really need to lose a lot of weight. Back on 1st October I was 298lb. I was starting to get regular heart palpitations and knew I needed to get my act in gear. So 17 days later I've lost exactly 1 stone and I've managed…

100k Challenge
I've only just got back to going to the gym and getting onto MFP but have (rather stupidly) decided to really challenge myself on getting fit by doing a 100k challenge in October. The challenge is to either walk, run, ride, row or swim 100k over the month. I don't include the "normal" commute into or around work as part of…

Working our calories?!
Hi all, I have purchased this to try tonight: http://spicebox.co.uk/curry-mixes/mas-paretal-masala.html Which I got from their shop in York. It looks nice... but I have NO idea how I can work out the calories that are in it! Having with chicken so obviously I can do that part but for the sauce itself I am at a loss. Any…

Struggling to eat enough..
So I get 1,800 calories a day but because of exercising I am finding it a struggle to eat them all. Today: 314 breakfast 313 lunch 543 dinner 86 snacks 849 calories burnt So I've got 1,423 calories left to eat. it's almost midnight and I'm not hungry! Perhaps this is a good thing - but worried it may have a negative effect…
