Healthy Flapjacks - Do they exist??
Hi All, Don't ask me why, but whenever I am cutting my calories, the first thing I want, no, NEED, is flapjack! I don't know why this happens but I begin to crave them so badly and they are so damn high in calories and sugar! I keep thinking about making my own but have no idea how to make this gooey, sugar filled treat in…

Am I already at my ideal weight for my body?
Hi All! One of MFP friends asked me this and it has got me thinking so I wondered whether anyone else has an opinion on this. I have been on MFP since Christmas and have managed to lose almost 20lbs through diet and exercise. It's not been easy, I've worked my *kitten* of (literally) and only had a handful of 'cheat'…

To drink alcohol, or not to drink alcohol...
Hi All, Just wondered what your opinions are on whether drinking alcohol (if it fits within your macros) can harm weightloss? I don't usually drink at all, maybe one or two glasses of wine since Christmas. However, I am going to a works party and a 30th party within the next week and I just know I will get the 'why are you…

Fed up with the scale barely moving and fancy a challenge?
Hi, MFPals! Some of my MFP friends and I are all starting to become a bit fed up with our numbers on the scale. Personally, I have been seeing very small loses if any for the last month and it is starting to have a negative effect on my motivation. Currently I weigh in every Wednesday and I know that the scale isn't the…

Increasing my calories & I'm nervous!
Hi All, A little about me. I'm 25, female, 5' 5'' and 143lbs. Aiming to achieve around 135lbs by Summer. Since Christmas I have lost 11lbs which is obviously very pleasing in such a short time but I have now stalled. Probably to be expected but frustrating none the less. After crawling the forums on MFP for advice I have…

I'm back!
Hi MFP friends! Happy New year :) I am ashamed to say I have been off MFP for a year and have gained a stone since my last visit. I am back on it and very motivated but so mad at myself for gaining back the weight. It has just been a gradual mix of eating a little too much and avoiding the gym. Unfortunately I had to…

Hi MFP's! I just wanted to reach out to you all for some support and motivation on this rather gloomy Monday morning. I fell of the wagon big time last week ending with a terrible weekend, so bad, I didn't even log Saturday including a Fry Up, Indian Meal, Cupcakes & Sweets :( We had guests for the weekend and I just…
