Support thread for those of us trying to log our food and exercise on myfitnesspal

Thought I'd be brave and start the new thread off!

Thanks CinnamonGreyhound, I realise I have been blindly trusting everything MFP tells me

I shopped around the entries for milk and found one that upped my calcium to 90% so I'm happy with that!

The sodium has gone beserk today, around 4,000 over... It's usually massively under though so am ignoring it. It could be the rosemary focaccia bread we are having with tonight's canneloni

Thanks again :)

Hi everyone :)

I am licking my wounds today as I went out yesterday afternoon for a family lunch (my mum was over from Spain for a visit) and the lunch (which was bloody awful and i didn't eat it all thankfully) turned into drinks in the evening and a few of us ended up in DP and I's favourite real ale pub, where we sat drinking Fruli (strawberry beer - yummy!) for the rest of the night! Woke up this morning feeling a bit wobbly so the gym idea went straight out of the window! Have spent the day dozing on the sofa but now i am feeling alot more human. I am quite disgusted tho how we have both wasted a lovely day and have done NOTHING!!! Ah well, the night was good so that's what matters. :)

Hope everyone has had a fab weekend too!

:o

Glad you're feeling better twinkle183 and sounds like missing work was a good idea.

Well done on weightloss CarpeJugulum and boo to your grumpy dh!! 19 is nothing :)

Hi Thornbury have accepted you :)

Glad you had a good time RGPargy, think you deserve a day off from the gym!!!

Had a late lunch at my mums (where I always eat more than normal) and was thinking it would be my only meal but starting to get a bit peck ish now . Dh has pissed me off slightly annoyed me today which with a very tight schedule led to me not running. Wanted to earlyish as I'm going to my running group tomorrow and didn't want to be too tired. Just going now for 20 mins as gave to walk dog anyway.

Bit over now... chocolate munchies.

Back eating healthy tomorrow!

found you all.

Have not logged on here in a long while have mainly been using MFP.

Just a quick one. Hello to newbies and congratulations to us oldies who look
Like you're all doing so well

Took nearly 2 weeks off put on 2ibs and lost 3ibs my first week back last week.

Am feeling happier with it all again now so hoping to notice more weight coming off

Will read new thread thoroughly tomorrow to catch up on everyone's progress etc

Thanks OneTwoOrThree, that's great news....... Pass the cake!

CarpeJugulum I discovered yesterday that the Cadbury's fun-size mix with Curly Wurlys, Chomps, Fudge etc come in at about 60-64 cals each, if you have a need for chocolate. Downside is of course that they are TINY.

I'm losing very slowly ATM. Worried that I'm in a bit of a slump and that my endless quest for low-calorie snacks isn't really helping.

I'm always under on iron and calcium too so bought some of these yesterday which have the curious side-effect of turning my wee highlighter yellow.

Hi all!

I'm able to exercise again and the weather is beautiful covered 4 miles this morning with the dog and double buggy at nap times and intending on re starting shred tonight! I've also discovered the scan option for finding your food and it's GREAT I love a good toy though

hello - just joinned mfp as I have survived completed a week of dukan attack and need to actually start charting what I am doing re food/exercise. I'm highviewboo - freinds (and support!) would be nice :)

Hi there. Ive just started on mfp.
Bit worried that its set my daily allowance at 1200 !
Does anyone know hiw many cals are burnt on a trampoline for about 15 mins?
Thanks

Hi everyone. Am very grumpy as have PUT ON a whole pound - and this is after a week of being under calorie allowance until I got to the weekend and went slightly over both days. I have been going to the gym loads too so felt a bit disheartened. I wouldn't mind if I had eaten what I really wanted (a huge Chinese meal) but it's just because I had a few glasses of wine! I didn't even have any mashed potatoes on my Sunday dinner. Or pudding! (Can't you tell I'm feeling sorry for myself!)

Harriet me too. Been losing steadily the first month on mfp - lost 12lbs. Haven't cheated at all and this morning I'd put a bloody pound on. Could of cried.

Have a stiff handshake.

Thanks skirt - it's so disheartening isn't it?!? I actually couldn't believe it but the scales at the gym give you a print out so it's in black and white! (Am clairetwoboys on MFP, by the way if you want someone to share your pain with!!

I would love to know what 15 mins on the trampoline is too (apart from tiring).

Commiserations on the weight gain guys maybe it's your bodies adjusting to the new diets - I have absolutely no idea although it's my weigh day tomorrow and I've felt fat and bloated all week so I may be joining you.

So a new start for me...and I gained 500g between Sunday morning and Monday morning.

Have been brutally honest and logged my 'new' weight, so don't bother to be too congratulatory when I start to lose it again...I don't deserve it!

Hi all- can I join? I started yesterday as I want to lose the 4 lbs that have crept on recently. I can't believe how low the calorie allowance is
anyway I usually run so that saved me yesterday!
My name is flailingArmRunner on there! Feel free to add me

Hello and welcome, Buggy. Have added you :)

Hello :) after another indulgent weekend (oops these are getting a bit too frequent!) - am trying to make up for it this week - lots of zumba I think!!

Thornbury - my weight fluctuates quite a bit every day. Sunday i was 3lb lighter than what i was on Monday morning!! However i think it's due to the masses of alcohol i had on Saturday night. Ah well, it was well deserved and I had a brilliant night. I'm not expecting a loss this week. My weigh day is a Friday but i ALWAYS weigh myself every day - it's such a habit and i just cant help it! I find it also keeps me on track BUT I never ever take into account my weight UNLESS it's a friday morning!

Your 500g gain could be to do with water retention or something. I'm sure it's nothing serious. Chin up! :o

I've got the same name on MFP so feel free to add me

Buggy runner - v v at only 4lb to lose

On track for a good day, mainly as a result of being busy. Quieter day planned tomorrow so will need all my will power.

Aiming to be REALLY good so that I can lose another 3.5lb by the end of the month. Perhaps a bit over ambitious, but hey a girls gotta dream!

Well done bexsybooboo that's not bad for two weeks off totally :)

MackrelOfFact you make me laugh with your list of low calorie snacks but it's handy to know!

Welcome snapespeare, ihatethecold and BuggyRunner!

I commented on mfp harrietlichman, sorry you and skirt have gained :( are we friends on mfp skirt?

I seem to be losing the Kg I put on this week while I ovulate, was 400g down this morning. Had three days the same then put on a Kg over the next 5 days :(, shouldn't be upset by it now into my right month of the same thing happening!

snapespeare, I'm sure I remember you from the old dating threads...wasn't there an ongoing train man saga?! I had a different mn name then and have been loved up for the last 18 months :)

Hi all,
I have accepted and will try to work it out further and add others.
I really like the nutritional app makes me eat better!

Yes, thats me! Aah, lovely train man.. I moved departure stations (cheaper zone equidistant from my house) so havent seen him in ages :)

Had a good day- yoghurt breakfast, yummy pret chciken salad treat for lunch. A babybel, small pack of nuts and giant chicken chilli stir fry for tea. Lots of water, feel virtuous. :) dread the coming of the scales on Wednesday, but at least then i know where i stand.

What low calorie foods are good? I am so struggling (used to eating melted cheese with s fork for supper)
