Will you be my mfp friend?

[pinotgrigio1]

How sad does that title sound? Any mfp users here? I've had the app for a long time, but yesterday I joined the gym and completed my first workout. My food is going to be far from perfect (especially for the next month) but I'd do so much better with support. Don't want to let my rl friends know what I'm doing.

My username is Outnumbered123.

I've sent you an invite OP and am working my way through the thread adding other users, feel free to add me (my friends list on there is tiny).

My username is Chocciebunbuns (obviously thinking about chocolate when I joined).

My allowance is 1650 to lose 1lb a week so obvs I’m much fatter to start with

Just posting so I remember to come back to this when the children are in bed. I am currently having 1700 calories a day as I’m breastfeeding.

Will get adding later.

I've changed mine so I get more calories now to get a loss of 1/2lb per week. If I feel I'm restricting myself too much I'll eat everything in sight

My username is FLEDJOMA - please add :) need the motivation. 5ft 1 and 13 stone and need a kick up the behind!

Mine’s 1220 that’s to lose 1lb per week. I’m 5’3” and 11.5 stone. If I knock it down to 0.5lb a week I can have 1450. I try to do a couple of days a week under the former and the rest under the latter. It’s not too bad if I run cos you earn so many more calories! I usually do it on Sundays so I can have a roast.

Today I’m only on 1100 but that’s because I got up so late that I didn’t have any breakfast

Wow! So many replies. I've accepted everyone who has sent a request on mfp. I haven't gone through this thread properly yet, though I will. My plan was to get myself organised by next Monday, but this week me and Dh have decided to separate. We have 2 young children so trying to get ourselves sorted for them first and then will be able to deal with other stuff. Though, this may still work out to be a good distraction technique!! I will definitely be following everyone on here in the meantime!!

My username is sianig I'm nearly 13 stone and only 5 ft 2. I've reactivated mpf today and bought a fitbit (well a cheaper version). I want to loose two stones before the summer. Feel free to add me.

I’ve thought of a goal. I had to have my wedding and engagement rings cut off over a year ago as I wasn’t allowed to wear them for work and my fingers were too fat to get them off My goal is to get them repaired and back on my finger.

Can I play? I'm ReluctantRunner75. I'm 5'10" and a 16-18. I'm allowed 1800-2000 calories as I'm hitting the exercise hard (5x a week) and I'm struggling with the macros - apparently I need to keep my protein levels higher and carbs lower but I'm vegetarian and finding it tricky!

Hi can u all add my friend plz she's new to this pabonat! Needs motivation like me.

I have just aggravated a step aerobics injury from last January (who does that anymore?!) - by doing step aerobics! There’s a lesson there!

First off, is that a Friends reference?

Secondly, do you like edamame beans? They’re a great source of protein!

Clandestine well spotted! My full name is Ms Chanandler Bong :)

I have just discovered edamame beans - I'm buying expensive but lovely graze bags full of them mixed with other high protein beans and seeds. I still need to increase my intake but they are definitely helping!

Jennifer its very retro - I have images of you all in neon legwarmers!

I have an old injury that flares up every so often - I've been seeing a personal trainer to get back into exercise safely after years of physio/sports massage on my poor leg, and I mentioned I'd seen a Bounce class advertised that looked like fun. He looked at me like I was mad because apparently if I can hurt myself so badly jogging, jumping around on a trampoline is not a good choice!

Chanandler. Of course it is!

You can buy fresh edamame beans In done leaves too, and the Co-Op even do a little tub of them with soy sauce which is one of my favourite snacks!

Need to go healthy food shopping my house is full of junk. I've not had breakfast today as I've woke up late so lunch was an omelette. Well half as my child pinched the rest haha. They do come in handy after all....

Iv added you OP, will add everybody else to. Mines gemma_yidette if anybody wants to add. Been on mfp for ages but nobody I know really uses it.

chanandler, I just bought an amazing rebounder!

Jennifer it honestly looked so much fun - enjoy ( but carefully!!)

Clandestine soy sauce is my weakness and there is a Coop right next to the gym so I will definitely have a look!

Hope everyone's getting on Ok, it's nice to see some more activity on my mfp newsfeed it was a bit tumbleweed before. 😁
