Hello Again, I refuse to buy a bigger Bra
Reactivating my account to help track my macros. Fed up as I'm older and heavier and at this rate my boobs will be parked on my knees as my back collapses when I sit. I will not buy a bigger bra, I want smaller and pretty instead of so much metal it sets airport detectors off.

Alcohol in Food
I used half a bottle of wine in my coq au vin. Given that alcohol evaporates or is burned off during cooking, how do I calculate these calories?

Explain weight gain.
I know weight movement is not linea but someone please explain this to me. I have plateaued recently. Then I dropped a pound, gained one then lost 2, all following my normal regime; I'm good with that. I went away for the week end and gained 7lbs which equates to 24,500 calories over and above that which i burned. My…

Is it cheating when you don't record weight gains?
Is it just me? I weight my self daily and am on MFP like a shot to record weight losses, but almost never record gains here. Anyone looking at my weightloss graph would think that I had plateaued for 2 months when the reality is I have Matterhorn-ed. I am talking the 6lbs of weekend damage (several times over ) not the odd…

Anyone doing the EOD/ADD/JUDDD?
Hi, I am looking for friends doing the EOD/ADD. I have decided to try this way of eating as I used to fast (in and unsafe and totally uncontrolled manner) in my early 20s. I have joined the JUDDD group as it is more or less the same thing just older than Dr Varady's new book, but although this is only my first week I have…

Help - Ive been banned from Jogging and impact exercise
Can you suggest some cardio I can do as I have been banned from impact exercise by my consultant? I started doing the park run (a 5k weekly run) in March. I was doing it at my own run/walk pace which was far slower that C2 5K but I was slowly improving running and recovery time by going out twice a week. I had a long brisk…

I cannot eat my cals each day - help
Its actually hot in the UK at the moment and the weather is due to last; because of the heat, my appetite has gone. I am struggling to eat even 1200 cals most days. I tend to eat salads so very few calories in my meals anyway. Carbs just make me feel bloated and fall asleep in this heat. It is critical that I up my…

Target in sight and I bottle it
I have a lot of weight to get rid of. I have set sensible milestones the next one is on Tues. I wanted to have lost a total of 2st by then (I lost 7lbs before I found MFP). I should have made it comfortably, but lo and behold I used a birthday on Sat to pig out on 3 puddings (needless to say they are not all recorded in my…

I know weight loss isnt linear but please can someone explain how this works? I try to eat back any exercise cals or if I go over 1 day I balance it the next. I know generally I am a little under my cal goal on a week to week basis. But how on earth can I go over my goal 1 day and put on 3lbs? Somewhere the equivalent of…

Why am I not losing on 1200cal per day?
I am fast losing the will to live cos Im still stuck. Initially I did the TDEE /LBM/FLC/JVC/QVC alphabet calculation that put me on 2200 cals perday. I usually wound up eating around 1600-1900 cals perday and was losing weight. I switched to the MFP calc which gives me 1220 cals p/d and Im stuck and dont seem able to get…

Salt - How can I tell if I am actually consuming too much?
Does anyone know how MFP calculates salt? I have used a couple of generic foods (frozen broccoli drained with salt, and boiled beef carrots onion and potatoes) the upshot of which is I am 1010 above my reccomeded salt intake. One of the reasons I want to get rid of the weight is to ensure my BP remains healthy as…

Weekend Wanderer
I posted about my alcohol craving a couple of weeks ago and I think most peeps thought i was a bottle carrying alcoholic. Im not; I just set an arbitrary period to go on the wagon. Well it was hubby's birthday yesterday and all I had was some Baileys. I didn't enjoy the taste so actually gave it away, but the Glayva tasted…
