New to the group so a Hello and small intro
Hi everyone. long time user on and off of MFP but only really recently have both I and my GF been looking at my eating habits as possibly more than 'lack of self control'. I binge. Plain and simple. Sometimes my binges are small and sometimes they are mammoth but none the less they are what I would consider a binge. Why do…

Is anyone else scared of hitting your goal weight?
I was chatting with someone yesterday about how far i've come with my weight loss(45+ kg) and that I had a little bit to go still (8 kg) and that I am really struggling with the last bit. I'm back on the downward trend at the moment but every time I feel I can see the light at the end of the tunnel I self sabotage myself…

Not knowing when I weigh in really helps!
I, much like the vast majority of everyone on here have self sabotaged themselves at some point in the weight loss process. I know I used to do it pretty much every week. I would weigh in Monday morning feel good about myself, have a couple of good days followed by the midweek blow out which would last 1 or two days. I…

Aparently I'm a 'calories in, calories out drone'! Haha
I had a Facebook friend ask last night for help with an article they are writing for the new year with us asked to give info and hints/tips for how to deal with the Xmas weight gain and getting healthy in the new year. I gave the usual advice given here every single day about all calories being equal in the pursuit of…

First time I've ever had to justify continued weight loss!!
For the first time over the weekend I had to justify a continued effort to lose weight! I started out over 330lb and I'm now around 230lb but all these people have known me at my biggest. I'm very very fit and active and have 3 weeks ago completed an ironman in under 12 hours. Being tall I carry my weight well but I still…

Is there a 'Goals for 2015?' thread?
We have all these month swimming/cycling/running type threads that run but is there a ultimate goal for 2015 type thread? Anything from completing a c25k program and doing a local 5k right through to marathons, epic cycle rides etc.

Not new but returning after a period of absence.
Hey, A new week saw a new start after not using MFP all through the joke the UK calls Summer!! Former Fatman turned Ironman, used to be 336lb, now around 236 aiming for 1XX. Love myself a bit of Triathlon but not the short stuff as that hurts too much so I stick to Ironmans and Half Irons. Already planned 2015's events to…

Massively under daily calorie intake, a problem?
I appreciate that eating virtually nothing is not good for weight loss as you body doesn't react well to it but is there any problem with not eating all the exercise calories earned each day? For example today due to a 2500m swim session and a 5 mile run i have an extra 2200 calories(i'm big so burn a lot!) onto of my 2060…

Hello from London(and Norfolk)
Hello fellow MFP users. Thought i would introduce myself to the message boards. Brief history, 24 stone at biggest but cycled a lot, fancied giving triathlons a go, 2 years later was a little over 17 stone and finished an ironman, lost focus and put weight back on again, now entered another ironman so need to get the…
