Hey, thought I'd pop back on here to see how everyone's doing and just read back. Glad that your able to run the GNR!! If we'd have thought about it we could have shared the trip and the accommodation!! Maybe next year :0). X

Hiya... Decided to just have Xmas day off although I'll still be logging on MFP as I'm curious of the calorie count. Don't want to undo all the hard work. X

Hi, welcome and good luck xx

Thank you xx

Haven't wrote on here in what seems like ages!!! Well I lost 2.5lbs which brings my weight loss to 16.5lbs in 7 weeks which I'm over the moon about. Need to lose another 38.5 to get to goal but as long as it comes off I don't mind if it's only 1/2lb per week. Feeling fab at the moment. Log...

I'm a sufferer too, under active thyroid that is!! Serious foggy brain and rubbish memory. Can I ask how long ago have you been diagnosed? What other side effects do you have? Mine is a fairly recent diagnosis and they are just trying to get my medication right for me but I have noticed I...

Woop woop well done xxx

Hope you didn't give into to the temptation?? I'm sure they're not criticising but I know what you mean, I put a lot down to the jealousy of the willpower required to do what we do. A big well done to you !!!! Xx

Aww well done Aunty!!! Xx

The amount of tea I drink I need to count it!! It's an eye opener. I

What about getting weighed every 2 weeks?? It might help?

Your head and heart need to be in the right place hun. You will do it when your ready. One day at a time xx

Definitely agree with squeezy. Once a week for best results on both body and mind.

Happy Birthday!! Sounds like you had a good one xx

Decided I'm going to weigh on Thursday instead this week, feel far to bloated to weigh tomorrow and I know I've been 100% all week. Hate TOTM!!!!!!!!

Hi all!! I'm Jane, 41 years old and a mother of 3 gorgeous girls, had my first at 15 (not recommended) but wouldn't swap her for the world, on my 2nd marriage to a policeman (Mark). I work full time as an Office Manager so we rarely see each other! I'm from Nottingham. Always had issues with...

Saturday!! Weekend off!! Had a lovely day really, a bit of a lie in, went food shopping, met a friend for coffee, put a stew in the slow cooker, went to see oldest daughter and her crazy pets, did a 35 minute run now having a hot bubble bath!! How do I find the time to work full time...

Welcome and good luck!! As Bostik said My Fitness Pal is something we couldn't do without. Xx

Rubbish day!! I work as an Office Manager in a furniture retail company but to be honest I'd be better placed in a Nursery!!! People arguing, having strops, moaning, not talking/*****ing!!! Seriously it gets my goat. Thank flip I'm off for the weekend otherwise I would have ripped someones...

I can relate to that one!! I sit on my bum all day behind a desk and if I'm not busy it's torture because all I want to do is eat and there is a young boy who works for me who struggles to put weight on and constantly eats all day everyday !! Hell on earth !! Lol

Squeezy , that was not supposed to be a question Mark!! It is supposed to be a smiley face!!! Bloody phone xxx

Thanks squeezy.? Well...still woke up at 6am, typical!! Had a strange dream about being back with my ex husband *shudders* Started on with the cleaning almost as soon as I got up and showered. It took me 4 hrs to sort through all my clothes, shoes, underwear, make up and jewellery!! Tried...

Sounds gooooooooood!! May have to make me some too x

Well done Donzy!!!

Welcome !!! Feel free to add me on MFP Debbage26 Good luck xxx

Good luck for Monday!!! You can do it x

A bit of a better mood today and Hubby bought me a cup of tea in bed with an apology for being narky !! Work all day and wore a top which I haven't worn for at least 2 years and also in my 'small' 16 trousers. Deffo felt good about myself today :0) Came home and went for a quick run 25 mins...

Good luck xxxx

Thank you ladies, were just going through a rubbish period, we'll be fine. Xx

Woke up in an aaaaaawful mood, went to work and had a massive cleaning frenzy. Was actually sweating!!! Came home had another row with the husband, went for a run (on my own) and my knee started to twinge so only managed 20 minutes. Cooked tea whilst arguing and didn't bother putting myself...

Breakfast: peanut butter on granary toast Lunch: shapers duck wrap and shapers crisps Dinner: tuna and cheese salad Drinks: tea Absolutely bloody ravenous today!!! After effects of the evil alcohol from Saturday night. Resisted all temptation!! My mantra (in my head) was ' I want to be...

New challenge for myself is to write my diary on here every day!!! Lost 14lbs so far, 41lbs to go Completed c25K & signed up for a 10k on November 6th Goal is to lose another 17lbs before Christmas. Not sure what I'm eating today as on a 12-8pm shift at work so will be having my lunch and...

Weigh day yesterday and lost 2.5lbs, 10 lbs in total. So pleased but still 45lbs to go...... Breakfast- porridge Lunch- prawn sandwich and squares Dinner - burger in a bun, 4 potato wedges, mini corn on the cob I've realised (after 4 weeks) that all I've done is reduce portion size and cut...

The food doctor diet book has some good ideas for low ish carbs and low gi, sensible food combining too, not too faddy. Must go and refresh my memory.

I think my Hubby struggles with me losing weight and I'm not sure it's the losing weight that's the issue it's his fear of my sheer motivation and not letting anything stop me. If that makes sense? He said to me last night 'you better not start getting cocky'? Yes I've lost 10lbs, yes I'm...

2.5lbs gone forever!!!! 10lbs in total for this month.

I run with Hubby, wouldn't like to do it on my own plus I don't think I would push myself as much as I do when he's with me. Big boobs and exercise don't mix well together, mine also need strapping down :0) he he x

Sports bra and a top with built in support is a necessity otherwise very painful !! X

Really want to try that, my daughter bought zumba for the Wii today so will try that too. Well done on day 2 x

I've noticed that too, when I run I use Nike GPS and it tells me how many calories I've burnt (weight/height/gender is entered before I start) and it's always about 150 less than MFP states? Hence I go by Nike app and not MFP :0/

Well almost another week done and 100% totally on plan. This week completed week 7 of C25K. Been another busy working week but managed a couple of hours with Hubby in the local last night and managed to drink 3 x 250ml Rose wine !!! Bit of a head today and been starving. Managed only to go...

Welcome and good luck x

Fish, mash and mushy peas :0)

Calorie counting seems to be the 'old fashioned' way of dieting but for me it's the best!! Slimming World- ok, healthy ish food choices but absolutely no portion control!! For me eating unlimited pasta and potatoes is the worst thing you could say to me!! Weightwatchers- absolutely all about...

Thanks squeezy, I am not a natural athlete and if you would have seen me running week one day one which is 1 minute of running/ 1.5 minutes of walking x 6 times. I was so unfit!! I have just this minute finished week 7 day 1 and completed 20 minutes running straight and could have honestly ran...

Picture yourself of how you want to look and feel before eating something you haven't planned too.....ask yourself is it worth it.

Not logged my diary this week as been really busy and really tired!! Managed to stay within 1200 all week apart from yesterday I went over by 3!!!! He he I also completed week 6 of C25k and actually can't believe I can run!! I absolutely love it!!! I have promised myself to complete the...

Wow, well done x

Hi there and welcome from reading other posts on this site they do recommend that you don't 'save' calories. I would definitely make sure you eat all your allowance and exercise for extra calories. Good luck xx

Day off today work that is not diet!! Only 2 weeks in and managed to fit in my jeans which were extremely snug a couple of months ago (smug smile on my face) Breakfast : granary toast and peanut butter. Lunch: 3 x ryvita and 50g pate Dinner: chicken, new potatoes and coleslaw Snack: pear...

Good luck for your weigh in xx

Day 11 Busy and very stressful day at work.....again. Tempted to weigh myself but didn't. Met a friend for a quick coffee and they bought me a chocolate muffin which I apologised and declined!! Breakfast - porridge Lunch - ww Mexican chilli and wedges Dinner - chicken curry, rice and 2...

Thank you everyone for the encouragement. I read through all the threads on minimims and feel like I'm getting to know you all. This site is so supportive along with MFP. Anyway back to yesterday.... Had a house viewing at 8:10am so had to be up super early on my day off to make sure...

Day 7 One whole week of cc and not cheated once!! Have stayed within 1200 calories and 'ran' 3 x times!! Weigh day tomorrow but to be honest I feel better when I know I've been 'good' despite what the scales may tell me. Breakfast - wholemeal toast with peanut butter. Lunch - nothing (had...

Well done, can't wait for that to happen to me x

Day 6 Work all day today, turned down a gingerbread man!!! I hope this willpower continues!!! Got home @ 6:15pm and went straight out for a run. Husband decided to join me which makes me work harder as he won't let me 'give up'. Breakfast - porridge Lunch - shapers wrap and shapers crisps...

You do have to be careful as it's so tempting to eat it out of the jar :0( I find that a scraping on granary toast is one of the only things that I can eat in the morning, I don't like cereal but will force porridge down if necessary .

Would love to complete a 10k but not yet, I really enjoy the running, such a great stress reliever too

I've completed W4 D3 this week, cant believe I can actually run !!! My friend started on this programme last October and she can now run 10 miles!!

Day 5 Horrible day at work, in an awful mood but still kept within calorie allowance. So tired so early night for me Breakfast - pear Lunch - jerk chicken sandwich and square crisps Dinner - tuna pasta bake (homemade). The scanner on MFP is fab!!! Saves so much time calculating and you...

Day 3 Day off work today so I thought this would really test me but it's been ok. Hubby came in late from his shift at 4:30 this morning forgot his key and woke me up to let him in, not best pleased as I couldn't get back to sleep grrrr!! He had also promised to run with me this morning as...

Would be over the moon at 2 stone for Christmas but going to be realistic and aim for 17lbs

Hi all, I started cc a few weeks ago went really well then fell well and truly off the wagon, to cut a long story short I'm 41 have 4 stone to lose, preferably before I'm 42!!! Absolutely fed up of being overweight ( now obese if I'm honest). I have been thinking of going back to ww or sw as I...

Welcome and good luck. December weddings are the best!! Xx

Hi Ive set myself at 1400 for the day and noticed that last week I averaged 1200 per day without really making an effort or feel like I'm doing without. So I would start higher especially if your still hungry. MFP is a great app, I'm naughty26 if you want to add me :0) Good luck x

Hello, this is a fab site, enjoy and lots of good luck x

Constantly updating hasn't really gone to plan but just finished logging my food on MFP and found that I eat in average 1200 calories a day (my goal is 1400) need to start with some exercise this coming week as I read all your posts and feel guilty for not doing any !! Weigh day tomorrow...

Good luck x PS I'm knackered just reading your exercise goals!!

Well done x

Welcome Fraggle My first week here too MFP user Naughty26 Xx

Well done. I can't wait for that to happen to me !! X

Nutty Nougats (tesco version of snickers) 200 cal exactly.

Roast chicken, salad and jacket potato. I've only had porridge (been mega busy at work ) so I'm starving!!!

Scales are the devils work!!! I would wait until Friday to weigh in x

Take one day at a time, don't worry about what happened yesterday or what may happen tomorrow. 24 hours is all we need to focus on. Good luck xxx

Thank you everyone and thanks for accepting me on MFP. Will be updating constantly as it will stop me eating!!!

I've just said exactly the same, would be nice spread on the ryvita fruit crunch I've just eaten.

I'm with you chocolate bananas, where I have failed 'miserably' in the past is telling myself I can't have something, I know what I can and can't eat (White bread, White pasta, yoghurt and bananas as these bloat me and cause pain) everything else I can have as long as I count it.

I have promised myself I will only weigh on a Monday morning and as soon as clothes start to feel loose they are going to the charity shop or bin!!!

Chopped cucumber, radish, pepper & beetroot 50g hummus 80g tesco mediterranean cous cous I love this lunch normally and I have just counted the calories and it works out to only 328 calories .....result!!!

Wow, well done. I'm a slave to the scales and always have been. They do 'rule' my moods tho :0( I am determined to do it and keep it off tho x

Hi Morrigan, can I ask you how much you have lost? I've set myself mini goals as 4 stone feels very scary!

Yes, I downloaded it months ago and been 'messing' around with it but started it properly today. New to all this so help would be much appreciated :0)

Today is the start of the rest of my life, I'm totally fed up if the yoyo dieting, looking for quick fixes, slimming clubs, no carbs. Ive tried all off these things in the last 10 years and in all my efforts I'm still 4 stone overweight!! So here goes, 1400 calories a day and 30 minutes of...
