How many calories?
Hello! I am confused as to how many calories I need to eat. I've always wanted to lose weight but since restarting my MFP journey I've decided that losing weight isn't really what I'm after... It is toning. (Strong being the new skinny and all!) So, I am a TA who spends most of my day pacing corridors and up and down…

Low carb breakfasts
I'm sure this has been asked a million times but, I need quick to prepare (or freezable) breakfasts. I don't eat eggs, fish or cottage cheese (they make me sick :( ) can anyone help? I'm getting bored of green apples and natural yogurt or sausages/mushrooms/tomatoes combos lol! If anyone knows any good sites post the link…

Inspire me!
I am eating a low carb diet, with more emphasis on fats and protein. However... I am BORED of constantly eating chicken with vegetables or tuna salad!! I am struggling most for breakfast and lunches as I need something quick, but without bacon, eggs or cottage cheese (which make me heave!). Do you have any suggestions? I…

Weight loss not being tracked properly :(
When I started my journey, I was 141 pounds, now I am 135. Yet, MFP thinks I have only lost 2 pounds! Is my maths really dodgy, or is MFP not tracking properly? (Sorry, I would have posted this to the technical support forum, but it wont let me create a post there... again, is that something I need to address?) Thanks for…

Low (ish) carb foodie friends?
Hello, I am looking for any low-carb friends who LOVE food! I'd love someone to inspire me with new recipes or interesting foods to try, as well as to keep me accountable (a little... ignore today's diary!! LOL). Extra brownie points to any of my geek friends!! A little about me... I am 24 years old, looking to lose about…

frustrated!
I joined MFP about 12 weeks ago, I lost like 5lbs in my first week! I didnt expect to lose so much so quickly, and it gave me a real buzz! Since then the journey has felt pretty slow and pointless. Its taken 11 weeks to lose 5lbs, sometimes I jet up 3lbs (water weight, I know) then it takes another couple of weeks to lose…

A little thought for the day...
I came across something today that I found staggering. It is no wonder we all struggle to believe we are 'beautiful': If Barbie was an actual woman, she would be 5’9” tall, have a 39” bust, an 18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe. • Barbie calls this a “full figure” and likes her weight at 110 lbs. • At 5’9” tall and…

Just needed a rant...
OK, slowly coming to the realisation that I may be a stress eater! (I have never considered myself such!) but this week has been monstrous!! I am flying to Spain on Friday, and I am a little stressed about the whole affair!! I hate flying, I am going away with my family for the first time ever, I am worried I don't have…

Advice Please!
Hey! My Mum has just started using MFP and I think she has piled her weight on over the last few years because her body is starving. She is a waitress and used to eat about 800 calories a day (most of that came from pure sugar). So I have advised her to eat about 1650 calories a day, her TDEE - 20%. She is getting the hang…

Eat more to lose weight?
Hello! Im posting on behalf of my Mum, she has started calorie counting in the last couple of weeks. She is 53 and 147 pounds. When she started out she was eating about 1000 calories a day (that's including 10 cups of coffee with 2 sugars!) She is a waitress 5 nights a week, but does a lot of walking on her days off. Ive…

Hello Fellow Young People!
Hi! Im Tuesday, 22 (God I hope I still qualify as a young adult!!). I started MFP only 3 days ago, so still adapting to everything! How is everyone doing? Does it get easier as you go along? (Ive found sticking to targets a bit of a challenge on the days I do only a little exercise!)

HELP! Need low carb!
Hello! I joined MFP today and have realised a huge down fall in my diet... CARBS! Im almost addicted! LOL to me pasta/ bread /cereals/ potatoes make a meal, without them I feel like something is missing. Is there anything that I can use to replace them? Or meals that exclude them altogether, without seeming to lack…

100g / 1 cup question
When MFP says 100g / 1 cup is that cooked or uncooked? I expect food like rice and pasta will be much heavier after cooking, so when do you weigh the ingredients?

Hello!
Hi there! Im Tuesday! I am going on holiday in 4 weeks and would like to lose just a little weight before I go. I have been eating sensibly and exercising 3 times a week for about 8 weeks now... and very little has changed! So, I decided I needed to re-think my plan and try a whole new experience... And TA-DA here I am! I…
