Myfitness Vs Weight Watchers
Hi Gang! I'm new to the forums, but i have a question. Does My Fitness Pal work the same way as Weight Watchers Points? In as much as as long as you don't go over your calorie allocation each day, you can pretty much eat what you want? Obviously if you went to McDonalds and had a meal that would be your entire calorie…

Weight not budging!
I dont think there is any advice people can give because I guess it depends on the individual...but my weight has stopped falling! I've been stuck at the same weight for two weeks! It's not lack of exercise because I've been out hiking a lot. So I dont know if it's that i'm not eating enough (still at default 1200), or I…

Feel like giving up!
I'm fed up today. I've been on my diet for a good couple of months now, and while the calorie counting is working, I'm sick of it! To start with, the scales I was using initially at work (i work in a clinic), ended up being sent back as broken so the weight I started at might not have even been accurate! Then I was up and…

Is it fat flab or lack of muscle tone?
I posted on here yesterday with a question. Essentially I was asking why, after losing 13lbs of weight, I still didn't look any different? My start weight was 154lbs and now I'm 141lbs, Anyway...I was musing last night on the reasons WHY i dont look any different despite the loss. Could it be MUSCLE tone that means I dont…

hitting head against a wall here!
Morning All. Has anyone felt like they've hit a brick wall when on a diet? The change of diet and taking up exercise suddenly seemed too difficult and i've been off the wagon for a little over a week. I start off well each morning and then if somebody puts a cake infront of me i'll eat it! Does anyone else's willpower wane…

13lbs from WHERE exactly?
According to my weigh in this morning, i've lost 13lbs in weight which, don't get me wrong, is AWESOME except i can't see any difference in my body shape? So where on earth has this 13lbs come off from? I can honestly say hand on heart i've not done enough exercise that would build up muscle!? Is 13lbs not enough to make a…

Five Day Fail :(
Hi Gang, I have a confession... I've been on holiday for 5 days and totally blew my diet. A lot of it was my lack of willpower, and a bit of it was the choice of food available to me. I did manage to get a bit of exercise in but even so probably not enough to justify what I ate. I'm brushing it off and getting back on the…

When is time to up the calories
Ok, i've been on 1200 cals for about 6 weeks now and lost 9lbs in weight (go me!!). But i was wondering how do you know, and what point, do you up your intake? I notice a few people on here increasing their calories. How do you know when to do that??

Measurements?
Hi guys and girls. This topic has probably been posted before, and it's probably on google somewhere too...except i'm heading out of the door to work and don't have time to browse... Body measurements...Where do I measure my waist from? Is it from where the waist starts to dip in (just under the ribcage)? Or lower down…

Leg toning with bad knees?
Hi all! Anyone know any successful leg toning exercises that are low impact on the knee joints? I've got an old injury to my left knee which means i can't do anything that will put extreme pressure on it like squats and lunges. It makes a horrible cracking noise. Ew. Anyway does anybody know of an alternative to help me…

Tesco Shocker
Morning Guys and Girls! Last night my other half did dinner for us...I had about 550 calories left over for it so he threw a tesco meal in the microwave. Tesco Oriental Kung Po chicken and rice. On the plate I had about 4 small pieces of diced chicken, a lot of sauce, couple of cashew nuts, and some rice. How many calories…

Can't believe it!
I've been a yoyo dieter all my life! And all this time i've had it completely wrong! I've limited myself to three meals a day, and then that didn't work so I went to a SINGLE meal a day (warrior diet I think it's called)...you name it I tried every diet and every combination!! Suddenly it's all clicked into place! Using…

Mallory Band?
Anyone here use a Mallory Band? I purchased one two weeks ago and I love it. I find it helps monitoring my waist line and wear it all the time now. Gives me motivation and makes me feel good if i have to tighten it a bit during my good days. :)

Keeping the metabolism guessing?
Hi All! I spotted a comment on a different topic and thought i'd throw it out there as a main subject. If you stick to your daily calorie allowance every single day, does your metabolism get lazy? Would it give your metabolism a kick start if you allowed yourself one day where you eat more than normal? I'm not looking for…

What a screw up!
I'm numerically dyslexic and have a sugar and dairy starved brain! I weighed myself this morning for the first time in a while and realised that since I only work in Stones, not lbs, I'd screwed up my very first weight calculation when I began using MFP! Consequently, MFP now think's I've lost...wait for it...a MASSIVE…
