New thread since the old one is full :)

Hi noseynoonoo! I started just by cutting down before I joined mfp and I was hungry for the first 3 weeks but it went away. What weightloss does 1200 give you? I have almost 1500 but tend to be around 12-1400. My biggest thing to say is decrease your portion size, I haven't changed breakfast usually porridge at 400calories. For lunch I usually have a 1 slice of bread sandwich or 1/2 tin of soup and one slice of bread which is less than 200 and a small dinner 300-400. That leaves me calories for essential snacks :). Shredded wheat is a lower option than shreddies and I have found that gherkins which I love are low calories and fill me up with lunch if I'm hungry one day so a food like that is handy. Maybe up your calories for the first few weeks to get used to it and then reduce back again? I rarely eat my running calories, it just hopefully boosts my weightloss!

Also make sure you drink lots of water, sometimes when you think you're hungry it can be thirst. I your mfp name the same as here? I'll add you and you can have a look at my diary if that helps.

Ugh oh WI tomorrow

Thanks for the tips. I have changed my weightloss expectations so now I am allowing myself 1350 calories per day. I had to be realistic. I have drunk quite a lot of water this week.

My MPF name is 'noseynoo' I think.

Whoop whoop 2ibs off

I have now entered the next stone bracket which I cannot believe I have been stuck between 13 st 3 and 13 stone for what feels like forever never feeling like it was moving at all and only fluctuated slowly but whoop done it

Well done to everyone else who has losses this week and here's to another

Well done Bexsy! Crossing the stone boundary deserves a reward :)

I seem to have shifted the weight I gained last week, hope I can maintain for my official weigh in tomorrow. I've joined the north - south - scotland challenge. Are there any other mumsnetters doing this?

Well done Bexsy,I am really hoping to have broken the next stone barrier on monday when I weigh in I think it will make such a difference psychologically .

OTOH just had a skinny flat white at costa and found its 77 calories OMG not worth the effort

Well done bexsybooboo, I did the same last week and it does somehow make the loss more important! Maybe you should treat yourself :)

Hey guys thank you sooo much for your comments and support today

I had a little reward today a custard slice small cake

Well am hoping my buzz feeling will last until Sunday as have my first 10k (6miles) walk/run/hobble run for Sport relief. So ladies do think of me on Sunday morning. I am so having a juicy KFC great healthy meal on Sunday evening to celebrate it

All that's left to say is if I can drop 2 dress sizes nearly 3 and lose nearly 3 stone and start loving my exercise then anyone can do it , please keep going even on the weeks that are not great.

Hi,,I've been using myfitnesspal for a few days now, not entirely sure what I'm doing but in also doing slimming world (lost 8.5lb the last 2 weeks, weigh in again tomorrow) and I've ordered the shred. I am determined to drop three stone for the summer and tone up too

Hi thanks to all that added me, still frustratingly stuck on my plateu - any advice welcome!

But I am running 3x a week so maybe I am loosing but toning? Luckily my other half is into eating healthily and keeps me on track when he's seeing me - we've a sat night date planned at the gym tonight :-) we have only been dating 4 months so bit worried about looking silly but sure it'll be fine!

welldone to everyone who has lost

xx

Am shitting pooping it. Just arrived for my first 10k !!! Wish me luck x

Good luck bexsy you will be fab! :)

Good luck bexsybooboo, I'm sure you'll be great. I'm plucking up the courage to do a 5K park run when I don't look like I might die! Enjoy your KFC

Go bexsyboo! Let us know how it goes! Xx

Well guys, I only Blimmin well done it

Was quite slow compared to others 1 hr 17 mins but not bad considering

Have to admit between 3 and 4 miles felt like I wanted to give up but pushed myself and am glad I did

I had a little cry at the end as I couldn't believe it if anyone had said to me 4/5 months ago or even as little as 2/3 months ago that I would be doing a 10k I would have lmfao off at them

Thank you guys for your good luck msg's x

Hi guys, just bookmarking :)

Welldone Bexsy - I'm running 10k in July, very nervous!
You must be over the moon xxx

Well done bexsy, I don't know about times as I am a swimmer not a runner but 1hr 17 mins sounds very good :)

Well done Bexsy

2 pounds off this week,started at different times so thats 1.5 on MFP so now the two weigh ins should be equal!Determined to keep this up now but i always seem to waver at the wrong time of the month IYSWIM .I just lose all will power .Must find a way around that problem

But so pleased I have broken the 12 stone mark ....not going back there in a hurry

Well done Mrswoodentop!

Took ds1 to McDonalds today as a treat for completing his latest round of speech therapy and I was very proud of myself for only eating a happy meal and mostly for resisting the creme egg mcflurry!

Just marking my place

I am debating whether to go to the new Zumba thing which is on tomorrow night. Not sure my old bones would take it. Will see how I feel, need to do something though

Hi all. Well, I'm back home in wales visiting my parents, and munching all the yummy stuff she puts in front of me. It shows though, because I've put a lb on :-( have mainly managed to stay within my cals, but am eating more fatty/ processed cakey type things, ando moving less... I must use this lb on as a kick up the bum!... I am getting married in 5lb months to the day... Eeek!

I went, I saw, I Zumbered and then I struggled to walk home.
