Is it easier to lose weight you have already lost once?
Hi Guys, I'm Annie, 30 from Scotland. Just weighing in (lols) to ask people who have lost then gained a bit whether the second time round the weight comes off any easier? At my lowest weight I had lost about 60lbs but have been steadily piling back on the beef, for reasons that are totally obvious like eating too much and…

The 6 Weight-Loss Tips That Science Actually Knows Work
Hello everyone! I know that the title of this sounds like spam you might get in your inbox but really it's just an article I read in Forbes which makes a lot of sense though some of it is pretty mortifying to read (will it really be harder for me 4 lyf?!? :'( ). I can relate to many of these statements on a personal,…

50lbs down
30 odd more to go. Man do I feel better! Took some photos today and compared to ones from a few months ago and back when I started in June.

the fluctuation dance
So I've not not had any "proper" weight for almost two weeks... i.e. my ticker jumped down 5 pounds suddenly and since then has been doing a 10-7-6-5-9-8-5-7-6-8-5 sort of dance. I know this shouldn't annoy me as that 5 pounds represents more than two weeks progress anyway, but stepped on yesterday again and was at 205 and…

Strength training: where, when, why, how?
Hi all, I'm fairly new to this game, 5lb lost, 70 odd to go. I've been doing lots of cardio but no strength training as yet. I've seen many people say that strength training is extremely important to health/weight loss etc due to muscle burning fat but haven't learned an awful lot more about it than that. HOWEVER what I am…

larabars/nakd bars
Hiya all, So I tried my first nakd bar the other day (I trust these are similar to larabars) and was instantly hooked. Looking at the packaging it was clear they would be a cinch to make at home (dates, cashews, raisins, cocoa, orange zest in the one I had) so I searched for recipes online. Found this website which has…

My first NSV
Hello everyone, I started MFP last Wednesday after years struggling with and being in denial about my weight. So much so I only got bathroom scales delivered this Wednesday past so if I had made a loss in the first week I wouldn't know about it! However, I have been enjoying all the healthy choices and working out every…
