I'm enjoying this!
Hi All I just put some eggs on to boil for my lunch tomorrow. I'll be disgarding the yolk and adding the whites to a salad of leaves and tomatoes. I'll make a smoothie in the morning out of frozen fruit, yoghurt and orange juice and I'll go to the gym from work. If you'd have asked me a couple of months ago how I liked…

Too Little Sodium?
Hi Anyone know anything about sodium? I can't find anything on the net and know we're not professionals but just wondered... If you look at my diary you'll see a very low sodium intake. I have been having weird symptoms recently including low blood pressure but the doc seems to think I'm OK. So this is good. BUT I still…

Hip Injury from Running - Alternatives?
Hi All I was running a couple of weeks back and my left hip started to feel 'strange'. By the end of the run - was only 20 mins on a treadmill at 4.5mph - my leg felt heavy. Anyway - following day sharp pain right at the top of my leg in the crease where it meets my fat, I mean, my stomach. :O) I rested for a week last…

'Why are you dieting, you don't need to!"
I was thinking this morning at the gym about the really skinny girls who come in and look fab, don't break a sweat and then leave looking as gorgeous as they came in looking and how I've thought in the past that they don't need to be there and they're showing us fat girls how good they look. Then I got thinking about how…

Low Blood Pressure?
Hi All I know you're not doctors and this might not be the right place but I'm curious. I seem to have all the symptoms of low blood pressure - dizzy, feeling like i'm about to faint, sick, palpitations - have had this about a week. I thought it was anxiety as I have a history of depression. Anyway, I'm totally exhausted…

I've started smiling at the scale!
Hi All Just wanted to share because I know a lot of you are struggling or upset with small changes in weight. I've been on mfp for almost 40 days and for 14 of those days I didn't lose any weight at all. The scale made me sad. lol I was measuring though and was seeing results AND had to buy new clothes. After 2 weeks of…

NSV!! Clothes
I wasn't going to buy any new clothes yet mostly due to the money but I look like a bit of a wally at work so I went out tonight to get some trousers. I've been in a 16 or above for as long as I can remember but I have a pair of 14 trousers that are almost too big!! The twelve was too small - would have cut the blood to my…

NSV - I've got hips!
I seem to have a nicer shape. :O) I look feminine! My arms are getting better too - got a short sleeve top on today and not so conscious of my arms. Yay! Keep going all - this IS worth it.

Logging Calories but hang on...
My BMR is 1500. That's about 62 an hour. So if I wear my HRM and burn 500 in an hour's session I actually only burn an extra 438. Should we be knocking the normal hourly burn off the amount we log? The maths of everything is starting to make my head spin but it's just a thought. Sorry if this has been posted about before.

Newbie
Hi Saw the app for the iPhone and downloaded it this morning and now using the site too. I have dieted for years and years and have never kept the weight off. I am going to now. Using this to post to facebook to humiliate me or drive me or something! Moral support is always good so if I can give it and receive it here,…
