Stopping people from stealing your food
Last week I stocked the freezer up with like £20 of food. I ate mostly fresh stuff that week or at my mothers. This week I'm waiting for payday and have maybe £2 in my piggy bank. I get in from uni and decide to try out them tasty veggie sausages I bought last week. Check the freezer and they're not there. All 12 of them.…

Why am I putting weight back on?
MFP has set me to 1200 cals/day. Before I started tracking my food, I was like "Oh that's easy that's almost what I eat now". Then I realised I was a little bit off with that estimation and was eating maybe 2000 cals a day before now. According to scooby my BMR is 1546 and TDEE is 1856. I've been shooting for the 1200 cal…

Do you record weight gains?
I was feeling philosophical about my weight loss earlier and realised that I never record weight gains. If I go up a few pounds I'll feel frustrated but I never log it on MFP. I wait until my weight inevitably drops back down to what it says on MFP and then if I lose another lb I will log that. So sometimes I might be…

Losing weight on a budget
I'm a student and I don't have much money. I would love to invest in a gym membership, HRM, fresh food every day etc. but unfortunately it's just soooooo expensive. I'm finding that I can't keep it up cooking for myself because by the time I've bought all the ingredients it's over double the cost of buying a ready meal or…

Suspecting I won't have lost 1 this week :(
Hi guys, really frustrated right now. I had a sneak peek at the scales this morning and I'm 0.5 lbs more than I was last weigh-in. I'm supposed to weigh in tomorrow but I'm thinking of postponing it until Sunday because I'm not going to have lost any ¬.¬ I have gone over my 1200 calories quite a few days this week but I…

Quitting smoking
It might be not the best idea to tackle too many problems at once, but I'm quitting smoking at the same time as trying to lose weight. I'm using an e-cig with nicotine so it's not like I'm going cold turkey, and so far that has been fine to satisfy my cravings so I haven't resorted to snacking to deal with it. It's been 1…

Skipping meals
I never seem to have the time or appetite to eat breakfast on a morning. Other than occasional days like weekends I have been skipping breakfast for about 10 years. Some people say it's really bad for me to do that, I'll ruin my metabolism, etc. but recently with IF being all the rage I've been seeing more people…

Realistic goal for the summer? Swimsuits!
I currently am carrying a little bit extra baggage than I would like weighing in at 167 lb @ 5' 5. My overall goal is to get back down to my weight when I was 18, ~120 lb but I'm happy to let that take as long as it needs. I'm going on holiday on 3rd June this year. I'd really like to be able to wear a bikini successfully.…
