What can I do in 3 weeks?
Hi everyone. I want to lose about 28lbs but to be honest, I'm struggling with morale. My husband and son eat whatever, fetch take out etc etc and it's hard work without any support so I've fallen well off the wagon! I found out something is happening in 3 weeks and if I could lose a chunk by then it will go a long way to…

Should you log ALL veg?
Hi everyone. I'm just wondering, does everyone log ALL veg? I've just had a couple of handfuls of kale as a snack and when I'm making my husbands sandwiches to take to work, I often swipe a piece of lettuce or cucumber. I'm low carbing so not snaffling a whole baked potato or anything! ANy thoughts gratefully received.

TFR and more.
Hi everyone. PLEASE can I just ask that I don't get loads of hate for the Total Food replacement? I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. Anyhoo, I've done TFR and spent a lot of money buying extra packs - I have about 6 weeks worth. I can't waste them, I can't afford to. I need to get results quickly for various reasons.…

30 day shred injury
Hi everyone. I did the 30 day shred for the first time yesterday and, idiot that I am, about 12 mins in I pulled my old c section injury really badly and had to stop. My plan was to try again today but be a bit more careful. Unfortunately, I've woken up and my stomach is very tight and painful. Should I try again today or…

My goal keeps changing!
Hi. Sorry if I'm being really stupid here, but my food goal keeps changing! It seems to change based on my UP updating my stats so I guess it's taking in to account my exercise but surely I'm not supposed to just keep eating? I thought the whole point of the exercise was to burn fat not give me a reason to eat more? Is…

Restart today but worried about stuff.
Hello everyone. I've had my weigh in today and as I suspected, my 'blips' have affected me and I've gained so I'm having a complete restart today. I've struggled this week as my son has been poorly and not at school so I've been home and haven't even managed to hit 8000 steps each day. I can't get out to the store so am…

Clearing out the food!
Hi everyone. If you were starting from scratch to stock your shelves, what would you buy? I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at home. My husband and son have breakfast and dinner at home but take packed lunches to work and school. We are not fussy eaters at all. My husband has a very physically strenuous job but doesn't…

Starvation mode
Hi everyone. Quick question, today I'm about 124 cals UNDER the 1200 MFP tells me to eat. I'm going to go to bed soon. Would I be better eating something to get those cals or do I not bother please? MFP keeps telling me it's too few and my body will go into starvation mode but very often I'm around this number under the…

Diet plate and portion sizes
Hi everyone. I splashed out on the diet plate and bowl and quite frankly, never use them but today I made a big pot of soup and guesstimated it to be 8 servings - BUT thought I'd have a look at the unused diet bowl and see what it was. 16 SERVINGS!!!!! 16!!!! I was pretty shocked but I used the diet bowl as my portion and…

Help! LOADS of calories coming up!
Hi everyone. Please can anyone help? Tonight I'm having a meal with aboyt 700 cals and it's high in fat and carbs too. Nothing I can do about it, it's being cooked for me. I'm having Japanese food for lunch - booked ages ago - so I'm thinking salmon and salmon skin handroll, miso soup and water. I've skipped breakfast…

Sugar and protein always higher than target.
Hi all. My sugar and protein is always too high compared to the target MFP has set me. The sugars tend to mainly come from veg and my protein tends to come from lean protein and 1/2 skimmed milk so I don't think of them as 'bad' but clearly MFP thinks I shhould do better! I love veg and I like to have my hot milk as a…

Newbie who keeps getting it wrong!
Hi everyone. Having been skinny for a large part of my life I since been on diets on and off for the past 10 years. Doesn't matter how much I lose I'm never happy and I've kept going down the feast or famine route. Yesterday for example, I had a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner but as normal was well under my 1200 cals,…
