Anyone just starting? I don't think I can do it alone!

[FluffedIt]

Hi, I'm a fatty and can't stand the self conscious feeling anymore. I tried sw but it's not working for me so I've downloaded mfp.

I've got about 3 stone to lose and would love a chunk off by October. Though I know it will take longer to hit target...anyone else just starting? Or just need a bit of company along the way?

I really want to take before pics, that would be plenty good enough to stop me eating but I'm too scared someone will see!

I've taken before and after photos but I'm not sharing not one needs to see that lol.

I think you can lose weight through walking alone. It is good exercise and when I lost two stone a couple of years ago it was through diet and walking. I basically adjusted all my portion sizes, used mfp and did at least one hours walking a day.

Please can I join!

I have 2.5st to lose overall but I would like to lose a stone by my wedding in August. I have been calorie counting for almost a month and lost 4lb but had a bad day and now I can't stop!

Would love to have people on there as well, to keep me motivated and on track! My username is Meg__ and I'm happy for anyone to add me!

@FluffedIt added you on MFP

@Mooey89 is your name mooey on mfp too as doesn't look like I've got it?

I've added any names anyone has added here, also had my first ever pm!

Incase you didn't see mine is charlston178 (wish I set it up as fluffed it now though!)

I'm struggling today with dh being home and bank hol, not logged yet but it won't be pretty!

@fluffedIt you can change your username once with MFP. I changed mine to match my mumsnet username.

Ah will have a play with it later the ! I only made it this morning! Lovely 3am start to the day thanx to dd!

Never mind I did it now! New name is FluffedIt ....wooo!

Woohoo!

We went out for lunch but I didn't have breakfast so Kcals from a lunch were 1800....

Thinking I might have an omelette for dinner which will take me just over my planned 1950 per day but for a cheat day with dessert not too bad...
Will start properly tomorrow!

Just jogged on the spot to get my last few steps in

Forgot to attach!

Don't worry I had a cheese burger from a burger van for lunch! damn bank holiday screwing with me! Just about to log all food.

What's your step target pasty?

10,000 a day

Mine is currently 9 but will change it to 10 from tomorrow and planning a hour long walk with dd everyday before getting ds from school...tho only a month left of mat leave so will change it all again then too!

I've added all my food and tonight's dinner and including fitbits steps I'm 42 over! Will walk up and down the hallway after dinner and hope I can end it on 0!

Woop woop I'm in the green! Only just but I'm taking it! Hope everyone has had a good day!

Hi. Can I play too? I'm targeting a 3st weight loss after 3 babies in 4 years. Have very much enjoyed gaining the weight but starting to feel uncomfortable in myself. Stated MFP this past week but need the motivation to stick too it!

Looks like I'm going for a run this evening. I'm 175 over my calories and I've been working from home so I've done the grand total of 70 steps today.

Err, miscalculated, I'm actually on 579

Yesterday i burned 2476 cals (15451 steps) and ate 1380 cals, so a good deficit.

Today so far i have burned 2061 cals (done 16481 steps so far) and have factored in 1377 calories so i should manage a good deficit today too even if i have a snack later.

Having a dog really helps with the steps!

I've had a fab day, though mainly coz I had a crap morning and lost my appetite! I managed just under 16k steps and a chicken salad for dinner...

I don't think that will keep up though! Just hoping for a kickstart!

Hi can I join. Lost a stone last year through ill health now back on and getting married in October! I have two stone to lose really.

I used mfp and lost 21/2 before, only put this stone back on.
Happy to add people for motivation.
Not a bad day so far and heading to the gym soon.

Hi to everyone x

My mfp name is bubbles402

Can I join please? I have three stone to lose and started MFP on Wednesday, after having got on the scales and weighed in at 13st6lbs .

I'm aiming for 1300 per day, plus some exercise at least four times a week (rowing or swimming). I've also got a fitbit, so I am going to try to keep my steps above 7000 per day.

My MFP username is the same as on here is anyone wants to add me.

I would love to join you all too, if I may?
Really want to lose a stone before my holiday on 1st July (optimistic!), and need to start exercising again. The last year I have just stopped all exercise and feel so unhealthy, so going to incorporate regular exercise.
Lets go!
