Food for thought......
Today I have got myself back on the wagon after a couple of weeks of very much running behind the wagon. Over the last few days, I have eaten all sorts of rubbish and felt horrible..... lethargic, full, bloated, depressed. So today, I am being super healthy and I feel great! I would choose how I feel today anytime over how…

taking a weekend off mfp - the results.........
I posted on here on Friday saying that I was considering taking the weekend off mfp and starting afresh today. Well I did just that and something amazing transpired....... I didnt feel good!!!!! Yes it was nice for the couple of minutes that I ate a chocolate bar and again when I had some chips but for the most part I felt…

c25k calories
I'm on week 3 of the c25k challenge and just wondered what people log for their calories burned? So far I have used the exercise cals on here by adding up amount of time spent running/walking but I know they are generic calories..... has anyone used a hrm and seen a big difference between mfp cals and actual cals? I'm 33…

Upping calories
Morning! I have always been on 1200 calories but have noticed that more increasingly lately, I am finding it tougher to stick to - not in terms of hunger but just because I feel so restricted and constantly feel as though I am on a 'diet' which I know isnt a sustainable way to live. Lately, this has lead to more and moer…

Taking a break..... thoughts?
For the last couple of weeks, I have really struggled. I still very much want to lose weight but I've noticed that all I think about lately is food and rather than being motivated and empowered, I feel restricted and almost lethargic about it. So, I've decided to have a 3 day break. I just feel as though I need a couple of…

Wagamama calories?
Hi, I've just been to Wagamamas and had the Yasai Yaki Soba (thin noodles, veg and egg). Calories are stated on here as 378 for the bowl but just wondered if this sounded right...... I am SO full - doesnt seem possible for only 400 calories! I'm thinking I've done something wrond and should actually be logging 2000 or…

My NSV for today
I have been good all day and then suddenly an hour ago BOOM!! I wanted to eat everything in sight. So off I went to the kitchen at work and devoured 4 divestive biscuits before I could even think about what I was doing. Then I marched back to my desk, grabbed my purse and thought well I may as well carry on now - I'm on a…

I know it's silly, but just looking for a bit of reassurance
So today I have well and truly fallen off the wagon. Okay not a marathon binge eating session but I have gone at least 1500 calories over my allowance. I don't know what's happened! Just feeling scared as I was doing so well and this is the first time in ages that I have really gone off the rails and felt out of control.…

Is there anything 'naughty' you still eat every day?
I know that I could be so much more efficient with my calories but yet I can't resist 2 digestive biscuits every morning! I'm always so cross with myself and yet I still do it!!! Aggghhhhh!!!

Number of calories - can anyone help?
Just wondered what everyone thought.... I'm 33 and now weigh 167 pounds. According to mfp, my maintence calories are 1850 (as I have a desk job) and therefore recommends 1200 calories a day for weight loss (although based on the 500 a day deficit to lose 1 pound theory, it's impossible for me to lose 2 pounds a week?). I…

My first mental victory!
After having been super good for the last 2 weeks, it all fell apart this weekend. I didnt have an almighty binge but certainly didnt stay within my calorie allowance. However, I'm right back to it today which is a huge victory for me - my past experiences have always been 'falling off wagon' = 'goodbye to healthy eating…

Hormone Changes??
Anyone else on here notice a change in their hormones a couple of weeks into it? I feel so blue! (and now cant even make myself feel temporarily better with vast quantities of chocolate!!):frown:

slightly confused.....
For the past few weeks I've been purely sticking to my calories, but after reading a few posts on here I'm wondering whether I should pay more attention to my food compostion (ratio of proten, carbs etc)? Should I follow the amounts as suggested by mfp? I have a desk job unfortunately so I know that I perhaps shouldnt eat…

Breakfast bars
Usually for me it's porridge or cereals every single morning but today, I just couldnt face the milk. Needed something a bit more dense. Was on the verge of saying sod it, I'll have toast and lashings of butter, but I know that it would lead to a whole day of saying sod it, I'll eat whatever I like. So I went into Holland…

Why do I feel down???
Back in January I lost 14 pounds by just eating really healthily. However, February and March, I slipped back into my old habits and hey presto, discovered I had put 8 pounds back on! So a couple of weeks ago I signed on to mfp and have lost 8 pounds already by just sticking to my 1200 calories. It's amazing!!! So..... the…

Another new one!
Hi All! Joined up a few days ago and happy to report that I'm feeling completely inspired! Have been struggling for literally years to lose the couple of stone which stand in the way of me feeling confident about how I look. Finally decided that enough is enough. Don't want to waste anymore time wishing I looked…
