Only 4 Weeks In And Weight Loss Has Totally Stalled
I only started back on the MFP journey 4 weeks ago, and had a great first fortnight, losing almost 5kg. But in the last fortnight I have lost nothing at all. The scales go up and down by about 0.2kg but I'm stuck. I am being quite strict with food, weighing and logging everything carefully, I'm eating pretty well and…

Tips for staying on track & logging on holiday (vacation)
I'm jetting off on a family holiday on Sunday to Cyprus (so excited!) and just wondering if anyone has any tips on staying on track with healthy eating, and also logging foods/meals on MFP please. We'll be self-catering, and mostly eating breakfast at the villa, with a packed lunch or light lunch out and eating out most…

Losing weight with IBS
Symptoms have been gradually creeping in for a few months but after a horrendous 5-day flare up I've been diagnosed with IBS. I know this causes all sorts of problems with the digestive system, not least bloating and pain, but could this be the reason why I am not losing any weight despite controlling my calories and…

Daily Routine - Do/Should You Log?
Just a quick question. Just wondered if you do/should include any daily routine exercise on MFP? For example, I make a 10-minute walk twice a day, every work day. This is part of my normal routine. I don't log this currently in MFP, but wondered (because my normal activity level is marked down as 'sedentary') if I should?…

Anyone had a food intolerance test?
I didn't think I would ever need one of these, I'd never been allergic or intolerant to anything in my life. However, over the last year, I have developed IBS, which has been recently diagnosed after it became much worse, and although I suspect some certain foods may be my triggers, I'm still pretty much clueless and…

Any UK peeps want to share motivation and inspiration?
Hi all! I'm Natalie, 31, married with 2 boys, and live in Yorkshire, UK. I am back on MFP after that stone of weight I lost crept back on again, sigh. Been dieting for the last few weeks, I swim and go to the gym two to three times a week, and I'm also trying to fit in 30 Day Shred, but my shift work, desk job, recent IBS…

Homemade Soup & Salt/Sodium
Hi all, not a great cook (or dieter for that matter) so hoping for a few tips. I set out today to make some homemade soup (rather than buying supermarket pre-made for my lunch at work) so I could try to reduce my salt intake, which I believe is preventing me from losing any weight. So tonight I made some awesome carrot and…

3 weeks, and not a single pound lost :(
Wondering if anyone can advise please? Been back using MFP for 3 weeks now, sticking (mostly) to my set calorie limit (and still less than the RDA on missed days). I've also been getting back to the gym and swimming, and for the last 5 days have been doing 30-day shred too. I know I'm probably not drinking enough water, I…
