Help...
Suddenly feeling really low after Zumba yesterday seized up the muscles around my sacrum (I have muscular weakness following severe whiplash from an accident and should really have checked with my physio before participating). I'm going to have to cut back on my exercise until this improves and I'm scared it will flare up…

Isn't this crazy?
http://anne-mariesjourneythroughsleeve.blogspot.co.uk/ I just can't quite believe she's done it. It's so drastic, considering the size she's at. And it's for life! Man...

Going for an Indian and not sure how to log
Looking forward to catching up with my old boss on Tuesday over an Indian or possibly a Thai. Thai I tend to eat tom yum kai or pad thai, Indian either a mix of veg (e.g. okra) or a lamb dopiaza and pilau rice. Either way I have no idea how I'm going to log this! I expect the calorie count will be high, and I'm happy to…

My head's all over the place
I'm weighing myself for the first time joining MFP tomorrow and I think it's messing with my head. I've had a great time and haven't denied myself anything. However, I haven't eaten out yet, and the cals I'm seeing for the places I like (like Byron) scare the living daylights out of me. Tonight, I bought a bag of chip shop…

'If every day was like this'
I don't know if I like this or not. On the days I've done a ton of swimming, it's telling me 'if every day was like this', I'd have lost 15 pounds in five weeks. On days like yesterday, when I came in just under my goal and did some brisk and slow walking but not much else, it's telling me 9 pounds in five weeks! Even…

Nuts
I have been snacking on mixed roasted nuts. They come in a 250g bag and I brought them to work, where I don't have a scale. Is it true that a handful (clenched) of nuts is about 25g? Think I might have over-indulged today...

Avoiding loose skin!
I have, in total, about six stone to lose (eventually), equivalent to about 84 pounds. The exercise therapist I spoke to said that because of my age (I'm 29) I shouldn't have an issue with loose skin as it should still be springing back, plus I don't plan to do it fast. Having never lost more than a stone and a half at one…

Where ar emy swimmers at?
My favourite form of exercise (since a life-changing cycling accident three years ago) is swimming. Anyone else here into it? I know other things can burn more but it's low impact (been told that my sacrum situation rules out running) and I just love it, and it's the one thing I know I'll always come back to (unfortunately…

Korean burrito - calories are frying my brain!
So my friend owns a business selling Korean burritos (Korrito, for anyone interested). I went and bought one today and I'm not sure how to work out the calories, as the ingredients separately come to about 450, but the options MFP gives range from that up to 760! It's in a white wrap, and they mixed me a spoonful of spicy…

How often do you weigh yourself?
I've just started on this journey and I'm not sure how often I should weigh myself. Weekly seems excessive if I'm only going to lose 1.5 pounds, but then if I don't, will I lose track and be saddened if I check two weeks or a month later and I haven't lost? I don't want to become super-obsessive about it either.

How's my diary looking?
I've been tracking for a week now (have already filled in most of tomorrow's based on what I have planned) and would be interested to get your input. Sans the ready meals and late night meals I was eating before I decided to make this change, this is pretty regular for me. I'm planning to see a dietician a few months down…

Can someone please explain this to me?
This is in my goals: Calories Burned From Normal Daily Activity 2,130 cal/day Your Daily Goal 1,400 cal/day Daily Calorie Deficit 730 calories Projected Weight Loss 1.5 lbs/week And this is in my diary for today: 1400 GOAL 1227 FOOD - 966 EXERCISE = 261 NET So what does that mean against the daily deficit? Is that 261 the…

New - 5'2 and 226lbs!
I recently joined as a precursor to going to see a dietician in a couple of months - I've struggled with my weight since bullying in primary school and now I really want to make a concerted effort to get to 14.5 stone by my 30th birthday next February. I'm currently at 16'2. 16'7 is the heaviest I've ever been…
