Well done on all those losses.

Sorry about your foot Cinnamon

I weighed in at Euston station yesterday on the most wobbly scales ever. I'd gained 4lb and dh had gained 5lb. We'll weigh in on Saturday next week as away again for a wedding.

I agree with Cinnamon. I think the scales are wrong. You need to stay with the same set of scales.

Bugger!! :( Hmmmm it did sound like you had DONE SOMETHING to your foot. What's the prognosis? How long to heal?

cinnamongreyhound · 18/09/2012 06:46

No idea, I have a temporary cast until Thursday when I go to the fracture clinic when thy will decide what to do with me and put a more permenant cast on with a boot so I can hopefully walk rather than now where I have crutches. Dh is an expert in bone breakage so he's already telling me what he thinks and to ignore the drs Hmm

I'm cornwall1234 on MFP, feel free to add me if im not added already.
I've not been very good at logging things recently and haven't been very active as I've been having a childcare crisis and a drop in motivation, but I am going to get back to it. MFP is fab.

MonsterBookOfTysons · 18/09/2012 09:54

Oh cinnamon what a pita, hope you are on the mend soon

HermioneHatesHoovering · 18/09/2012 11:31

I joined MFP 18 months ago, then didn't use it. I put in 1500cal/day at that time, can't remember why that figure. Anyway I can't find anywhere on the site to change it or to find out how many cals/day I should be having, can anyone advise, thanks Grin

HermioneHatesHoovering · 18/09/2012 11:32

Oh and off to bed as I'm Down Undah. Hope to read some messages tomorrow morning.

MammaTo2boys · 18/09/2012 11:40

Hello Can I join the thread. Had DS2, 3 months ago and have a lot of weight to lose and I enjoy baking too much and of course eating lots of it, esp when I was pregnant.

I have already been using MFP, I was 12st exactly after giving birth ad I've now dropped to 10st 13lbs with the help of MFP and running, but sometimes need support not to go off the rails, nearly on a daily basis Blush.

Happy to meet you all Smile

Groovee · 18/09/2012 13:28

Just replying to cinnamon from the last thread. We normally weigh in at Boots near home but were in London so we thought we'd weigh in. We were both very doubtful of the weights given as the machine wouldn't stop wobbling.

Will weigh in usual place on Saturday instead this week and see how we fare.

Emandlu · 18/09/2012 13:30

Hello, glad I found you all on the new thread!

I've not been doing MFP over the last 2 weeks as we went on holiday but I only put on 1lb while we were away so I'm dead chuffed and I'm back on MFP properly now.
