Clothing success = wallet failure!
this weightless thing is costing me a fortune!! When you go from a waist size 42" to a 32" you can only get away with wearing your BIG clothes for so long!! I wore my 42's till I was 38, then I settled at 34", now they're too big which means buying 32" waist. I haven't been that size for nearly 40 years when I was at…

Heart Rate Monitor Advice
i just went for a run and used my HRM. I then reset the HRM to zero but started the excercise button again and left it running while I had a sandwich, logged my exercise, and closed off my MFP diary. I then noticed that in the 20 mins I had burned 250 calories!! Should I wait until my hr is resting until I log the calories…

Sore Saggy Skin
im hoping someone will have been through this problem before and will be able to point me towards a solution. I have lost nearly 60lbs and have, as a result, got lots of loose skin around my bottom, particularly around my coxxics! If I sit for extended periods, ie driving my truck for upwards of 8 hours a day, my backside…

NSV,s
As most of you will be aware I recently went on a holiday to Spain. On the plane I have always wondered why the 'brace' position has always been so impossible for me, and also I have never been able to lower the table without it stopping half way down and coming to rest on my ample stomach! This year I was able to fully…

Measuring after excercise!!!
A cautionary tale about measuring after workouts! - My wife and I went to the gym one morning but on the way had to drop our car off at the garage and then walk to the gym. We took a short cut across a playing field and had to squeeze through a small gap in a fnece into the gym. I just managed to get through. After a good…

I'm sure I'm growing a tail!!!
Having lost a significant amount of weight over the past 6 months I am getting a great deal of discomfort at the base of my spine (coccyx). I've never really had a fat butt but I now feel a bone that I'm sure is getting bigger and is almost like a docked tail!!! Being a truck driver it is very uncomfortable and annoying,…

Show this to your husband / partner
Guys, Is your wife / girlfriend / partner on a diet? Are you supporting her? If not, why not? You need to wake up and smell the coffee. Our wives arent doing this for fun, they are doing it because they dont feel good about themselves and want to be the person you fell in love with, they are the same person but maybe there…

Stop! - Thief!!!
Just noticed MFP has been into my profile overnight and stolen, yes stolen, 30 calories from my daily goal!! If anybody's daily goal has suddenly and unexpectedly gone up by 30 then please do not eat them, THEY ARE MINE!!!

Pain when walking
I have become aware of a problem i have when i walk any sort of distance. Its not my feet, its not even my legs, its my ribs!! It feels muscular and its predominately on the left side. To be honest its more discomfort more than pain but it is beginning to put me off walking. Strangely, it doesnt occur when im running!!…

Volvic Water - Calories?
Just bought a 50cl bottle of volvia 'a touch of fruit - lemon and lime' water. The manufacturers label says 4cals per 250ml, meaning 50cl = 500ml = 8cals. MFP with the same item, takes a whopping 116 calories from me for the same thing!! Who am i to beleive?

Who is MFP for?
I have to ask this because, quite frankly, I dont know the answer. Something is botheriing me! I am wondering whether this site is for big people who want to be small, unfit people who want to be fit, or a mix of both. I am rather disturbed by some of the profile pictures some people have put on here as they are, quite…

My Clothes are too big!!!
I wish i could shrink my clothes!! Having lost two and a half stone I am now looking pretty ridiculous in my clothes, like a child in an adults clothing, like a sack of s**t tied up in the middle! Looks like a trip to the charity shop is on the cards!!

Fed up
Just had lunch, a ham sandwich with wholemeal bread, planning a bean stir fry for dinner with black bean stir fry sauce! To be honest i'm feeling a bit down so might just have to add a choclate muffin or bar of dairy milk!!

Fund Raising - A Long Shot
Hi everyone, I know this is a long shot and I'll apologise in advance if this offends anyone. 18 months ago my step sister, aged 53, was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. It was a bombshell and after many complications, including having to have toes amputated, she is now being cared for by MacMillan Cancer Support. In…

Great South Run - Yes, Me!!!
Hi everyone, Ive been using MFP for about 6 months and find it so useful, moreso than any diet plan. Since using it I have been excercising by first walking, and lately jogging. I am enjoying it very much and have entered the Great South Run in October. As a truck driver I lead a sedentary life but have found out how good…
