Do you trust your hunger?
Similar to a lot of people on here, my weight has been up and down over the past few years. I have about 2 stone/30lbs to lose. I've stuck to my calorie limit religiously, weighing everything for the last 3 weeks with no change on the scales. I'm not losing faith, I know it'll come eventually. I'm planning another week and…

Trusting calories
Hi all, Hope everyone is doing well! I have this issue. I've been losing at 1600 calories for about 5/6 months now and before that I was losing at 1200. (I'm 5'10, SW 200lbs, CW 165lbs, GW 145-150lbs) Now I have some pretty BIG exams this week and my eating has gone right out the window. I know its a motivation thing and I…

100 Days ...
Well today kinda creeped up on me! Logged on this morning and MFP informed me this is my 100th day on MFP. It's been a journey. I'm 5'10 SW 200lbs CW 171lbs and GW 147lbs. This loss has all been done through simply using MFP and sticking to my daily limit. I don't eat 'healthy' foods because food is just food to me. So…

Soo another question about goal calories
Hi All, Hope everyone is doing well today :) As you may know, I'm 5'10, 22 F and have lost 28lbs in about 6 months which I'm very pleased with! Due to a bad injury, I've only recently been cleared for some exercise. (I know I know - should've been doing what I could during the injury but I kinda gave up with the exercise…

Trying to mentally get used to weight loss
Hi all, I was clothes shopping yesterday online and I almost always go for my standard size 16 (US 12) even though I'm nearly 20lbs down and now a solid 14. I imagine everyone does this at least at first. Just wanted to highlight how amazing that feeling is when you realise you've done it and can quickly correct (assuming…

Viewing eating as a weekly thing?
Hi All, As we know, MFP monitors food and exercise on a daily basis i.e. you've met your target today or not. I know others look at their food intake on a weekly basis so if they eat over their calories on one day, they can make up for it on another day so long as their consumed calories at the end of the week are their…

Another quick question
Hi All, I know you all must be sick of questions around TDEE, exercise calories, BMR etc. but I just wanted to check a quick issue. I know both my TDEE and BMR and used Scooby's workshop to work out both. I put in my activity level as 'Desk job - little to no exercise' which is true at the moment. However, I'm looking at…

Help Please!
Hi All, Hope everyone is doing well and has had a good day! I've been on MFP for around 4 months now (over two profiles) and have lost 16lbs so of course I'm happy! MFP gave me a calorie goal of 1200 which I've stuck to as much as possible but it's beginning to become unworkable. I'm not focusing on speed - I want to lose…

Water
Hi all, Hope everyone is feeling good today! Just wanted to get people's opinions on water intake. I swear by a greater water intake helping with weight loss, more energy, better skin etc. but I do drink a lot of flavoured water in addition to my 'normal' water mostly because I don't drink tea etc. I've heard bad things…
