To those of you who have made it or done more than 50% of yo
......can you give some motivating comments to those who are just starting out? For me personally, although I have only achieved about 25% of my goal, I am astounded by the extra energy I have (even though I'm eating 800 or so less calories than I used to!)

Someone look at my diary, and be honest!
Bear in mind that today is the only day I have EVER gone over on sodium - i'm normally under 1000!

I think I know the answer, but please help!
I have been at the same weight now for a couple of weeks. I am losing motivation, and cant really be bothered too much with it. I cant stop myself from eating the wrong stuff. I am at my calorie goal most days (I just consume chocolate in order to get there!) I do exercise daily too. I am exercising 6 days a week, but…

Standing?
Erm.....a colleague that I introduced to MFP (we only work together on a Saturday) asked me the following question. She has set her daily activity level at the lowest setting (Sedentary or whatever the lowest is) Yet on a Saturday, she works, and is standing up from 9am-7pm (but for a half an hour lunch break) She was…

Any nurses (or mothers!) out there?
I took a tablet last night (about 10 hours ago) and felt like it was a little stuck in my throat last night, as I didnt take enough water. I was already half asleep when I took it, and fell right back to sleep again. This morning it is really painful, and I had some toast to try and get it to go down further. Now I cant…

Bad mood today, anyone got any jokes to cheer me up?!

Anyone 5"6
...........and a UK size 14? I would like to know what weight you are. I am currently a UK20 in trousers and 18 in tops. I have a wedding to go to in October, and I want to buy myself the most STUNNING dress, and I am thinking of buying it now in a size 14. I just want to know what weight I would need to get down to, and…

25% of the way there!
When I started doing this, it was half hearted, as I just didnt have any faith in myself. Then my weight kept going down and I got more and more motivated, and started to realise I CAN do this! As of this morning, I have lost 25% of the weight I aim to lose altogether. I have done this in about 4 months. I am so happy, I…

How do you keep yourself going when you can't get to the gym
......................my gym closes at 5pm on a Sunday, and its peeing it down outside, so I have just been for a walk around the house, touching every wall in each room, to the tune of an online countdown of 30 mins!

Cannot wait until.......
I feel secure enough and confident enough about my body to go swimming in the local pool. Anyone got any goals like that?

To all new MFPers.....
......I thought I'd share my experience. I have only been on here since February, but I want to say to you: DON'T GIVE UP! I nearly did on the 3rd week after 3 weeks of going to the gym 4 times a week (something I hadnt done before) and eating 1200 calories (plus my exercise calories) I hadnt lost a single lb. I had,…

In the red :(
The last 5 days, I have been in the red on calories. 4 of those days were between 100 and 350 calories over. I am set to lose 2lbs per week, and if 1lb is 3500 calories, then surely I should lose atleast 1lb this week? Have had quite a depressing week, as I have busted my knee, and I'm really upset about it, as I wanted to…

Anyone else have problems with 1st session of C25k
I thought it was a great way to start running again. Years ago (ok, a decade!) I used to run all the time and loved it. SInce then I started smoking. My lungs are screwed, so I couldnt do the first session. I also have asthma, so that makes things worse. I got to a 20 min brisk walk with 5 bursts of somewhere between 40…

I am sooooooooooooooo tired today
Anyone have any pick me ups? I have eaten 1000 cals, and burned off 200. I have 400 left to eat, but am also planning a walk/jog later. In about an hour and a half, I will have dinner, then go an hour later. I have been exhausted all day, but had breakfast and lunch before my walk, and have been snacking throughout the day…

Nothing to do with weight loss, but erm...
I am at work, and people are filming me - I am working on a reception desk (which I am only covering, I dont normally work here!) When I say filming me, they panned around the area and I was on camera for a good minute or so! Seriously - is that allowed?! They didnt ask my permission or anything! I mean filming as in large…

Might go running tomorrow for 1st time in about 8 years!
I used to run 4 miles 4 times a week, round the lakes by my old house. I LOVED it! Then I got a job, started smoking, put on loads of weight, and didnt do it anymore. I am thinking of going for a jog in the morning. I am overweight, and I dont know if I can do it, but I am going to try, and won't be devastated if I end up…

How do you log this.....
I usually have a desk job, and put my status as sedentary when opening my account. I have an extra job that I might do once every 3 weeks or something (cover for a shop) It includes me standing and running a small shop for atleast 6 hours. Do I log this, and if so, how?!

Following MFP but not losing?
I'm eating my calories per day (1290) and then most of my exercise calories, but I have lost sweet FA for about 10 days. Help?!
-
Whats wrong with me?!
In the last 2 weeks, I have seriously struggled to eat 1200 calories daily. I am doing about 40 mins of exercise 5 times a week, and even during those days I cant eat the 1200. In fact, in the last 2 days, I have eaten 2 chocolate biscuits at 9pm to boost me to 1200 calories, and therefore not eaten my exercise calories. I…

Should you eat breakfast if you're not hungry?
For example, today, its 11:39am, and I havent eaten a single thing. I have had a cup of tea, and one glass of squash. I'm not at all hungry (been sat at my desk at work since 8:30) Should I eat breakfast anyway?
-
Sweat - required?!
Ok, answer a question for me. If you sweat a lot whilst working out, does it mean you're working harder? If you do the same exercise in normal heat, and then in air conditioned room, will there be any difference, and if so, why?
