I've put on 8lb :( Motivation needed please.
Hello all, I started on my weight loss journey approximately 16 months ago and up until April this year I'd managed to lose 60lb in total (I had been taking it fairly slowly until I discovered MFP in January 2013, then stepped up a gear). Between January and April this year I was really "in the zone".... eating well,…

Weird NSV!
Had my most weird NSV ever last night. I was lying on my side in bed - with one knee resting on top of the other. I had to move because the "top" knee felt really bony on top of the other and was uncomfortable (almost painful!). Not had bony knees for a long time, woohoo! :)

I have been having 1400 cals per day, as this is what MFP allocates me if I choose to lose 1.5lb per week. However, I'm keen to do this healthily and now I'm paranoid that my muscles are going to start eating themselves…

"Fat days" - how do you deal with them?
How do you deal with having a "fat day"? I'm talking about the psychological ones, rather than days when you're bloated due to PMS, a binge the night before etc. I just mean the kind of day where you just feel ten times bigger than you did yesterday, despite having lost lots of weight, your clothes fitting fine and the…

Need to increase my calcium intake - any ideas?
Hi, I'm trying to make sure that I get my recommended calcium intake each day as I want to safeguard against osteoporosis in later life. I currently have around 300mls of milk and one yoghurt per day, but this is only giving me about half of the calcium goal that MFP has identified for me. I don't really want to be using…
