Are we friends on mfp ihatethecold? I have same name as here, feel free to look at my diary it's open to friends. I have kept to calories mainly by cutting down, so just have smaller portions was very hungry to start with but after first three weeks was fine. I have porridge or shredded wheat for breakfast 300ish calories, loads of different stuff for lunch but try to keep below 300 calories, anywhere between 300 and 500 for dinner and snacks. Have a look at my diary and it will give you an idea. Definitely recommend weighing food to start with as you'd be surprised how much somethings weigh!

i do weigh things all the time. its shocking how much a portion of something
like muesli is !
cinnamon, we are friends on mfp. Im pinkjan4288.

wheredidiputit. how do you manage until lunch on only a yoghurt???

This wasn't my finest hour, but this my diary from yesterday. My goal is 1,300 cals, the total for yesterday was 1,274, despite 3 snacks.

Breakfast
Total 0% - Fat Free Greek Yoghurt, 100 g = 57
Raspberries - Raw, 66.67 g = 35
Jordans - Super Berry Granola 15 g = 78
Total: 170

Lunch
Abokado - Heaps of Herbs Crystal Rolls, 1 portion (215g) = 231

Dinner
Fish pie n peas, 1 serving = 554

Snacks
Skips - Tingly Prawn Cocktail (21.5 g - 25% Extra Free), 1 packet = 114
Tesco - Value Choc Ices, 1 choc ice = 95
Cadbury's - Mini Dairy Milk Bar, 1 bar = 80
3 Cups of tea with skimmed milk = 30

As I said up thread the reason I have put on weight is because I'm nor eating enough. I also don't get hungry in the morning.

I actually fine it quite hard to eat 1200cal in a day. So by making myself eat more I have lost 8lbs in 3 weeks.

Argh bad day today, I am not logging the Bailey's, will really bahave till next weigh in Tuesday!

Going to give this a serious go! Will start befriending some of you.

Hi, just started MFP yesterday and im in love with the little barcode thingy. Id love a few buddys on mfp if anybody would like to be my friend.

My name is SearchingForHallows

Some cheeky bar-stool is out there in virtual land impersonating me. I went to put my nickname into mfp and it said "sorry somebody already has voldemortsnipple, please choose another name!" How rude. VN is my name. :o

Anyway rant over.... Would you like to be my friend. I have a stone to lose and need to get more fit and healthy :)

Yay, have lost a pound, so two overall, although because mfp goes by my starting weight, it's only saying 0.5lbs lost! Bah.

Anyway, today will be a good day :)

Cleopatra and VN, I'm relatives new to this too, but can't work out how to add people on the app. Feel free to add me though...

Hey guys

Am book marking.

Not been posting a lot recently on MN but logging on MFP so I don't fall in to bad habits

Congrats to everyone's losses and progress really good and nice to read.

Am doing okay, seem to be plodding along but am managing to stick to MFP. Not hopeful for loss this week as feeling very bloated but we will see.

Only have 6 working days and 12 sleeps til we fly away for hols suber excited

Keep it up ladies

Hi newbies, please feel free to add me, same name as on here :)

I am starting to lose weight again, I really think the new scales have helped my motivation.
I also have been out and actually bought 2 pairs of size 10 jeans and a size 10 dress :o

In my size 16 jeans today. Yay. Been ages since I've fitted into them. Voldemortsnipple I tried to add you but it couldn't find you hallows username. Feel free to add me people. My username is pudwood.

Evening all.

Well it is day 4 after my Allen Carr (stop smoking guy, not Alan Carr with the teeth) lose weight day and... I feel like shit! Hurray!

Actually it's cos I've stopped eating sugar and white carbs (apart from a fab lolly yesterday and a cereal bar today as totm). I have been eating mostly salad, fruit, veg, tiny bit of protein. I'm supposed to not log cals and just go by empty/satisfied but I have been, and coming out at roughly 1200 or under with exercise. Cor blimey!

Finding it all rather interesting so far, apart from the heinous sugar withdrawals ughhhh - anyone know how long this lasts??

Hello any new joiners, I am SWpanda if you want to find me on mfp

Hi everyone

Sorry I've not posted on here for a while - been busy flapjack making for my friend and am currently attempting to make making a novelty birthday cake for my son's birthday today (he's 22 today lol). Luckily he's not coming round to see me til after he finishes work today so it gives me a few more hours to finish it off later today. If it doesn't look too horrendous I'll post a pic up. Not expecting much tho as I'm not very good at stuff like this!

Newbies feel free to add me. Same name as here!

well i was up at 6.30am today to do 30ds dvd..
i must be mental!

talk about no pain no gain..

im losing inches not pounds though, which i suppose is ok.

Jillian michaels ripped in 30 was on sky so I taped it and did it this morning ( I counted it as 20mins aerobics). I am already aching and know I won't be able to move tomorrow!!

I'm very keen to get back into running so would appreciate any advice on how to integrate couch to 5k plan with ripped? I'm guessing I just alternate days and take twice as long to do things.

Had some good news on this horrible rainy day, I have got a first in my specialist nursing degree!!

So now need to carry on the "operation not being fat when igraduate" for my graduation in September :-)

Wow! Congratulations, that must feel amazing!

well done on your first shifting!!!

SWpanda - i did avoid sugar for a while a few years back and it tooknme about two weeks of mood swings and huge cravings but after that itwas easy... and the good thing is it is really dfficult to go back to eating sugar after a while, food does taste better wthout added sugar. but it is a very restrictive diet....

hello newbies, feel free to add me (same username) im relatively new too and i have aout 2 stones to lose to be bak to pre-pregnancy weight....! I also want to feel ok in a swimsuit by the end of august as we are going on holidays.

Regarding my eating.... it is amasingnhow much crap i eat during the day... sweets, ice cream, chocolate.... imjust wastenmynalories allowance on these...
i need to eat proper food because when i'll stop breastfeeding i wont be able to eat those...

what is "30 DS"???
