I do :D

SIL and MIL did it for about a week with me. I gave up to and have got more motivation. I did go to Costco today and eat about 200 haribo with SIL, so don't judge me on today! PM me (and anyone else who is reading this) so I can add you.

Come join *[[http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/weight_loss_chat/1817901-Chiefs-Randalling-on-to-svelteness?msgid=41232749 >>The Chiefs

RandallPinkFloyd · 31/08/2013 09:46

Forgot to say, the whole thing started when someone started a thread saying 'shit, I got fat' and a whole bunch of us replied 'me too'.

We lamented for a while then one poster said 'the men who used to call me love now call me chief' and so The Chiefs were born!

happylass · 08/09/2013 12:08

Ooooo yes could someone add me on MFP too please? The few friends I have on there seem to have given up and I need the motivation!! Havent got a massive amount to lose maybe just 1-1.5 stone by my wedding next August. As a result (and probably also because im 5ft 10) MFP has given me a generous allowance of 1700 calories. Username is same as on here with a 14 on the end.

RandallPinkFloyd · 08/09/2013 12:13

Come join the chiefs happylass, we had another new joiner just yesterday too so you won't be the only new one!

I'll have a look for you on MFP now Smile

Oooh ooh - tell me what Myfitnesspal is and how I get it, and I'll join you! I need some motivation to get me off the sofa now that the dark, rainy nights are here Sad

ScariestFairyByFar · 22/10/2013 20:00

It's a phone app where you log all your food/exercise I'm guessing it's on the web too. I can't add by username on app :(

SirChenjin · 22/10/2013 20:05

I think I've set up an account online - I'm SirChenjin there as well if anyone wants to add me Smile

Sammie101 · 22/10/2013 20:10

Me please Smile my username is Samelam

I desperately need to get back my motivation, I lost 4 stone over a year and during pregnancy put 2 and a half back on! Literally hate looking like the "old me" but BF my 11 week old DD makes me HUNGRY for chocolate! Bahhh humbug Hmm

ScariestFairyByFar · 22/10/2013 20:29

Thats almost what happened to me except I kept it off till I went back to work. I'm getting so close to the old me it's scary. I'm not sure if mfp will work for me as i don't do scales! But I'm using it to stick to 1500 cals per day.

Sammie101 · 22/10/2013 20:39

It's a horrible feeling isn't it Scariest! I so want to start couch to 5k again but I just don't have the time OR energy!

I think if you know your initial weight and calculate how many calories you need to lose you don't need to weigh yourself if you're sticking to your calorie limit! It's so easy to get obsessed with a number on the scales when really it doesn't matter what that number is, it matters how you feel about yourself!

ScariestFairyByFar · 22/10/2013 20:54

Yeah I'm hoping to start exercising soon and then I really can't do scales I put on muscle easily so my weight loss almost stops as soon as i start working out but the number on the scales totally demotivate me. So I just go on clothes size. When I lost 4 stone in a year I weighed myself at the start, middle, month from the end and end.

ScariestFairyByFar · 25/10/2013 20:39

How's it going lady's? Are you all sticking to it? I'm feeling fat tonight having eaten too much pasta bake but still almost within calories for the day!

ImNotAFlower · 08/11/2013 18:34

Hello ladies, I am a new MFP user too! Feel free to add me, my name is Toria1920 . Have about 2.5/3st to loose Confused

CharlieAlphaKiloEcho · 08/11/2013 19:23

I'm a new MFP'er too. TinyCake81 - feel free to add me.

I jumped straight in and joined an ultimate accountability group which has been good. I have to log every day and stay under calories and exercise for 20 minutes every day too. One slip and you are out the next month.

ScariestFairyByFar · 08/11/2013 20:19

Oh what's the ultimate accountability group?

CharlieAlphaKiloEcho · 08/11/2013 20:46

It's called Ultimate Accountability November but I don't know if it's still open. Apparently they run the challenge every month so you could join Decembers if it is.

LadyMay26 · 10/11/2013 20:55
