Hi moving-I'm a big snacker too Grin you just can't get away with it at 5 2" can you?
I'm trying not to keep rubbish in the house too much and just buy something small-like a curly wurly when I've accounted for it.
At work at the moment but feel free to add me on mfp-same username as here x

awaywego1 · 10/04/2013 18:41

I'm on my phone so can't add people but I'm awaywego1 and its so helpful to see other people's diaries Grin
Am struggling today-feel knackered, probably pms but also not sure i ate enough yesterday, am about to go for a meal so will be calorie loading tonight Grin but to be honest I feel as if I need it! 1200 feels quite brutal sometimes-especially when I've not bloody lost owt yet Hmm

Movingforward123 · 10/04/2013 19:37

Mrsbucket thanks for adding me Grin I still can't seem to find the adding bit!

Also my starting weight on there was from two years ago! Do you think I should edit it today my current starting weight?

As its not very motivating to see that when I started I only had about half a stone to target weight and I now have one and a half stone! ConfusedConfused

MrsBucketxx · 10/04/2013 20:17

if you are much less than you where I think you might want to change your status, although you could end up with less calories.

Movingforward123 · 10/04/2013 21:18

No I'm much more then when I started Confused

I started at 138lbs and I'm now 146 lbs Hmm

So I've changed it as its a new start and I really want to stay motivated Grin

MrsBucketxx · 11/04/2013 08:39

sounds like a plan, I really want to stuff my face with crap today,

Its my ds' s first day at nursery and I'm a. over the place. aaarrrggghhh

Movingforward123 · 11/04/2013 10:31

Nooo dont do it! Remember we can see everything you eat Grin

The first day at nursery is tough, but soon he will love it and not want to come home!

If you have to stuff your face try to make it healthy ish Wink

MrsBucketxx · 11/04/2013 10:36

I have had one cookie which I have accounted for, and a cuppa.

I'm being good honest.

cinnamongreyhound · 11/04/2013 10:49

Go for a nice long walk MrsBucketxx you will earn some calories and it will help take your mind off it Grin

MrsBucketxx · 11/04/2013 11:38

not good for my bank balance, but I'm going shopping Grin

Movingforward123 · 11/04/2013 14:48

Cinna - I like your thinking! Wink

Does anyone know how many calories are in a fresh sliced Danish bloomer? I can't really see it on mfp

MrsBucketxx · 11/04/2013 14:52

is this the same?

ds is home now he really liked it :)

WillYouDoTheFandango · 11/04/2013 15:02

movingfwd I'm not much different from you, I'm 151 and want to be 140ish

cinnamongreyhound · 11/04/2013 17:04

If you put danish into mfp you get a slice of warburtons for 63 calories, not sure what a danish bloomer is!

MrsBucketxx · 11/04/2013 18:16

Movingforward123 · 11/04/2013 20:51

Mine is aldi bread Grin the fresh bake one! Does anyone know how many calories are in that?

awaywego1 · 11/04/2013 21:11

agghhh..having a very bad day-have just added a couple of you as i do find it helps with motivation. Hope thats ok. Have dreadful pmt today and have felt shocking all day with no energy so have eaten rubbish. I'll get back on it tommorow i hope!

Samnella · 11/04/2013 21:36

Sad Crap day. Good in terms of diet but crap in terms of being unlucky on the comments department. Firstly my 5 year old nephew announced to the room I am fat and then the librarian asked when the baby is due Blush. I know I need to lose weight. I know I will feel better and look better so why does it feel so insurmountable. It's just eat less, move more but I seem to have a total mental block. Whinge, whinge.

Chopstheduck · 12/04/2013 07:18

aww Samnella! At least you know you are doing something about it and you will soon be so much healthier.

I've been there. Last year sometime, I was headed up the school one time for an appointment and dt1's classroom is right by the door with windows all along. His friends asked if I was having another baby Blush I felt just as bad for poor dt1 as for myself!

Can't help with the bread. I tend to eat lots of quite weirdy things that aren't on MFP, I have to just go for the closest match I can find.
