DO NOT EAT BACK EXERCISE CALORIES!!!!!
Well hello all, as some of you know i've been recently diagnosed as 'pre diabetic' , you may be interested to know the opinion of my dietician with regards to eating back exercise calories. As the title here suggests, she told me not too!!! In simple terms while trying to reduce weight i need 1400 cals per day not 1200 as…

Sticking close to my calorie total (sometimes eating some exercise cals back, i do try not to, but am finding myself increasingly hungry (big change from when i started and struggled to eat 1200) I recently re-calculated…

Walking buddies
I feel we could do with a section for 'walking buddies' Wonder if it's possible to set up a list of MFPers who are looking for a walking partner, by town/country etc. that way many of us can hook up with like minded folk and share the exercise time, and have fun walking with a like ,minded motivated friend.. What does…

Large breasts = can't run
Hi all, here's a bit of a poser for you, while on some of my regula rwalks, i've tried breaking into a jog, (the old mix it up idea) my problem is after just a few steps my breasts really hurt.:noway: :sad: I'm wearing a firm sports bra, but the sheer size and volume and good old gravity come into play and i either have to…

Ladies keep walking !!!!
While at the Breast screening clinic this afternoon,:frown: I read a poster on Osteoporosis, and thought i'd share with my fellow MFP'ers, thank fully i'm only in one of the at risk groups (women over 50) but i learned another group that supprised me, and that was thin people!!, I'd assumed that overweight people would be…

Is it enough ?
I've lost 14 pounds, in 2 months, my simple question is, Is this enough? I read other MFP profiles and quite often i see 20 to 30 pounds weight loss over the same time, and many started off very similar weight to me...so am i doing something wrong? :frown:

I need to focus more :)
:noway: I'm chuffed to bits that i've reached my first 'stone' :happy: :happy: :happy: Now this is the odd part, i suddenly felt really down today like i wasn't doing enough, and that i really want to be losing more than my 1lb per week average...tried to pick myself up, went for a walk, had 2 sessions on my crazy fit,…

Confused ? you will be !!!
So i'm looking in the mirror, knowing i'm one inch and nearly a stone less than when i began, but what do i see in the mirror ??? I feel i actually look bigger, how can that be? I'm still wearing the same clothes as before, so shouldn't i be looking slimmer in them...Confusing to say the least !!!!:grumble: :huh:

Times change !!!

Hi all, with me very close to achieving my first stone in weight loss, i decided to look at my bmi and 'ideal' weight. So i checked out various online site calculators, and was quite surprised at the answers. Now I thought at a mere 5'2" my ideal weight should be between 119 and 133lbs imagine my surprise then when one…

OK it's Confession time ... :(
:embarassed: I had a good week (MFP) another pound off, feeling pretty pleased with that. However had a run in with someone i can only describe as 'A nasty peice of work' yesterday, it played on my mind so much i found myself awake a lot through the night, and in the end got up at 5am, completely unheard of for me on a…
