Wow you guys are great
I posted on here a few days ago about how upset I was with myself for falling off the wagon. I had lost 18lbs over about 8 weeks and then had a week of just eating crap. Well I am now on day 3 of doing much better. Sticking to my calories religiously and I guessed I had put on about 8 of the 18lbs lost so I weighed today…

Upset with myself
I Started with mfp on the 23rd June starting with 140lbs to loose, After 8 weeks I was 18lbs down and then I don't really know what happened.....well I do I stopped being honest and tracking even when I did track I didn't put it all down. I haven't weighed myself since however I am back to it today and so far so good. All…

Weigh in early
Well in Monday I have been doing mfp for 8 weeks and have now lost 18lbs. I put 5 on over a weeks holiday but I knew I had only had 1 bad day and that surely it couldn't have been a real weight gain? Four days later those 5lbs were gone and I've today lost a further 3! This is the slowest I have lost weight but I really…

Pretty upset!
I started with mfp on the 23rd June and in 6 weeks lost 15lbs - slow but steady and I didn't give up any of my favourite foods. We were away on holiday last week and although I had 2 bad days I walked 2 hrs a day (something i never do at home) and I really thought I would have lost but I put on 5lbs!! Admittedly I was poor…

Really need some encouragement
I've logged and tracked and measured for 36 days straight. I need to loose at least 140lbs so far I'm 11lbs down it was 13 but weigh in Monday and today and I'm 2lbs up and I've no idea why. I stay under my 1880 calorie goal but did go over Saturday night by 300. I though starting out at 346lbs I would loose the first…

Trying not to get disheartened
Weigh number 4 this week and I lost 1lb so that makes 11lb in total. I know this is a good steady pace but with so much to loose I feel a bit disheartened. When I've changed my eating habits before I could easily loose that amount in a week or two. I know it's better slow and steady and that's one of the reasons the weight…

Can't ever imagine being under 206lbs
I've just been reading the thread about women over 5.10 and their ideal weight - OMG I have been very overweight since my teens - I did get down to 14st 10lbs at uni but that's the lowest I ever remember being. I feel a bit overwhelmed that 140lbs might be the right weight for me - my mum is 9 stone and 5ft 8 and looks too…

Stick with it peeps this reallly does work!
I am a daily weigher and anytime I see a loss I update on my profile on here. Over the first 2 weeks I lost 8lbs (I have 140 to loose in total) I started out thinking the weight would drop off quickly - other diets I have done I would loose 10lbs in the first week sometimes but I have slowly realised that this time I want…

Weigh in number 3
And I've not lost a thing! I've weighed and tracked everything only thing I've probably not had enough of is water but still drinking 1.5 litres a day on average. I started off with 140lbs to loose and I've lost 9lbs I know slow and steady is better but nothing for a week!!! How do I stop this de-railing me? No change in…

What a difference a day makes
Yesterday I was feeling a bit down in the dumps. I weigh myself everyday and all week the scales have shown me as 2lbs up - I got on today and i'm back to having lost 8lbs so I'm hopeful for some loss before my weigh in on Monday. 2lbs a week is my aim until I have lost 5stone then anything will do me. Yesterday I just…

Mixed feelings today
I started with mfp on the 23rd June. Didn't have scales until the Saturday of that week so weigh in was 5 days later. Last time I weighed was on my sisters scale about 3 weeks before and I was 346lbs. On that Saturday I weighed 341lbs so put it as a 5lb loss though it could have been more or less depending on my actual…

Feeling a lot better
I am now 2 weeks into my weight loss journey. I started off at 346lbs my goal to get down to 206lbs. I am just over 5ft 11 and don't ever remember weighing less than 14st 10lbs so that's my initial goal and then I will see when I get there. I saw an old picture of me at this weight the other day and I just look so tall and…

Weigh in
Well after getting on the scales everyday this week and seeing no change and feeling very disheartened I weighed today and have lost 3lbs official weigh day is Monday but I do this with a friend and hers is a Saturday so I weigh then to. Hopefully another pound might come by Monday but 8lbs in less than 2 weeks I will take…

Struggling with the scales
I know I shouldn't do it but I weigh myself everyday and of course most days I feel disappointment that the scales haven't moved. I'm not 100% sure what my start weight was as I only go the scales 5 days into joining MFP but I weighed about a month ago at my sisters on her scales and was 346lbs. As of Monday 30th (a week…

Really struggling
I've done almost 2 weeks with mfp and I get on the scales everyday and they don't budge. I didn't have scales to start with so last recorded weight was 346lbs about 4 weeks ago. I weighed Monday a week in and was 340 but since then nothing. I know I'm probably expecting too much but I just want to see some little loss.…

Scared of falling off the wagon
So I'm ten days into my weight loss journey with 134 of the original 140lbs left to loose. First week I lost 6lbs although I last weighed myself at my sisters on different scales around a month ago so it may well have been more or less than 6lbs. Anyway I decided to weigh on a Wednesday as a midweek check and I'm 0.2lbs up…

Got a nasty tummy bug
So today I've not eaten anything just drinking water. I've not been sick but have very bad diarohea (sorry tmi) so my question is when I do feel like eating again and keeping it bland should I just eat a small amount and build back up to my 1,950 calories a day? I don't want my body to store fat because I've not eaten for…

How much can I loose?
I started just yesterday at 346lbs. My first goal is to get 5 stone off. I know exercise will help with this but I don't have an issue getting of my bum it's food I need to conquer and get a grip with so realistically eating 1,750 calories a day how long would it take me to loose 5 stone without exercising?

Day 4
and things are going well. I feel lighter but realise that's just because I'm not going to bed bloated and am actually waking up hungry for my breakfast. I last weighed myself about 3 weeks ago and was 346lbs I get my new scales today so will weigh in the morning. Really hope I see a loss and that I didn't got above 346lbs…

Day 1 done
So yesterday was day 1 and I came in under my calories goal by 33 calories. For the first time in a long time I went to bed not feeling bloated and horrible and woke up this morning feeling hungry for my breakfast! New scales arrive Thursday so I will weigh on Friday morning. I am a bit apprehensive about the scales…

Calories
Hi Guys, I have set my own calories at 1,750 but should I go with fitness pal instead? I think they set it around 1,950? I want to loose weight quickly but I know too quick and it won't stay off. I know that eating 1,750 I don't feel hungry but I have 10 stone to loose so maybe I should start a bit higher, any advice would…

Starting Out
Hi, I'm Bex I need to loose 10 stone! I had a baby 18 months ago and whilst breast feeding and walking everywhere I lost 5 stone but I have put it all back on and feel horrible about myself! I am 5.11 and to be honest I don't think I've ever weighed less than 14 stone so that's my goal. I've set my calories at 1,750 a day…
