Is anyone starting a March challenge?
Hi everyone, My name is Kara and I've been using MFP for a several years. I'd originally started at 180lbs and over my first year dropped to 129lbs (which I was really happy with). I did maintain that for several years (well, staying within 5lbs of that). However over the past 18 months I've slowly been adding the pounds,…

How to run a support group
Hi All, As part of one of my work initiatives this year, I've been asked to run a Health Weight Support Group. Whilst I am happy to do this as I have a keen interest in fitness and diet, I'm also a bit unsure of how to take it forward. I've never been to a Weight Support Group so I don't know what tends to happen. I'm not…

When is a pound lost and where does it go?
I have two questions that have been bugging me. So I hear you lose a pound of fat for every 3500 calories. This being the case, when does that pound actually drop off? Theoretically, if I were to eat my maintenance calories and burn 3500 calories through exercise would I lose a pound the moment I reached that calorie burn…

Eating with Orthodontic Seperators & Braces
Okay, so I'm getting some separators put in today and after a bit of research I've discovered that it's painful and eating is pretty difficult. Someone said they've can only really eat soft foods and others have said they couldn't eat solids at all and stuck with soup and ice cream. So my question is twofold: firstly, what…

Netflix Fitness Videos (UK users)
I was thinking of signing up to Netflix (well, my boyfriend is anyway), and I was wondering if there are any fitness videos that can be streamed? Are there any users (specifically in the UK because I'm guessing the viewing varies in other countries) who have Netflix, and if there are fitness videos, do you use them? Thanks

General Discussion
I didn't see a general 'Hi everyone' discussion so I've started this one. I hope this isn't a closed group (if it is I'll quietly back away) but this sounds perfect for me. I'd love to take part in this!

Yummy Low/No Carb meals
For a challenge this week I'm not going to eat carbs after 5pm. Does anyone have any good suggestions for low (or practically no) carb dinners? I'm not a very adventurous cook and this could end up with me eating chicken and broccoli every night so a little culinary help would be wonderful! :)

An egg a day...
I eat an egg every morning. I can get 15 freerange eggs for £2.50 so it's cost efficient and it does keep me full 'til lunch. I eat the whole egg, yolk and all. Occasionally I'll eat two if I have a heavy exercise plan but mostly it's just the one. I'm just wondering if there is anything wrong with that. I was talking to…

When did you start noticing weight loss?
Hey everyone! I've recently decided that it's time to get back into shape for summer. So two weeks ago I chucked everything bad out and replaced it with fresh fruit/veg, meats and fish. And I've been doing at least 30 mins exercise 5 times a week (1 hour on days with more time). Now I've lost 5lb over the past two weeks…
