NSVs! 6 mile walk and inches lost!
Started on MFP post-partum 6 months ago, to lose 30lb of pregnancy weight gain and another 17lb that I was carrying pre-pregnancy. I've lost the 30lb (yay!) but I'm particularly encouraged by my NSVs. Took my measurements yesterday, since starting I've lost 6" from the hips and 4" from the waist, and other losses around…

Feel good factor - tracking positive efforts beyond diet and exercise
Ok, maybe I sound a bit odd, I really didn't know how to title this :D For some people on MFP, like me, weight loss is only one factor in overall change or progress. I have a baby and a toddler and since I got pregnant with my first I have never quite looked after myself like I used to. I am active and I'm tracking to lose…

Ideas for sweet things? Especially GF
When I first came across MFP 2 years ago I remember there was a thread with loads of awesome sweet recipes but I can't find it or similar so help please! I am good at savoury recipes (meals and snacks) but I've never been particularly good at making sweet things. As a result I end up eating some chocolate but I don't…

How to work out calories in broth?
I've made some chicken which has a leftover broth, which I did purposely, but then I realised I'm not sure how to work out the calories of the broth. So, I boiled a whole chicken in some stock and sage, after frying it with butter and shallots. I know the weights of everything I used. The broth is relatively clear (ie the…

TDEE -20% is lower than BMR - what to aim for?
I've used MFP before for tracking and worked out my needs based on the stickied guides, but I've become a bit stuck now. I'm returning to MFP having had a second baby (so this isn't a "I used to track, lost weight, gained it all, now I'm back" post - well, not in the typical sense anyway!). I was part of the way through…

I went on holiday and I MAINTAINED!
Just got back from a 10 day trip travelling with my family cross-country to visit various relatives. I had limited control over what food was on offer, no way of managing portions through weighing on scales or anything like that. I tracked every day but it was a vague overview of what I ate with a number of quick add cals…

2 weeks in, a couple of NSVs (and uh, an SV?!)
Hello all :) I seriously debated whether or not I'd post this but then decided meh - I will! I've been on MFP for just 2 weeks now. I wasn't looking for a site to help me with my weight loss but came across this on a parenting site. Thought I'd check it out and very happy that I did. Prior to joining, I was already trying…

Please teach me about strength/weight training :)
So, I'm new to MFP (1 week old today!). I actually stumbled upon it when looking at a parenting site, but glad I did as it's what I've been looking for and I'm learning a lot already. I think I've got the understanding around BMR and TDEE covered, bought a HRM, and have improved my diet - was quite healthy before, but have…
