A thread for all those wanting support and advice for using mfp website and app. Welcome to everyone new and those of us that have been around a while

Finally I can 'have' with out logging.

Hi, I'm new to mfp, just starting out. I've sent a few friend requests, my name starts with Lucy (won't put the whole thing as it outs me!). Off to Tescos in a bit to stock up on good stuff. Yogurt with berries for brekkie I think.

I am back of holiday and need to shift some weight! I've decided mfp is for me. Please add me to give me motivation! Cheekychops38. Good luck everyone!

What's a fitbit?!

I'm starting again, has no one posted since August??

Hi jchochip! No this thread basically died after a while, I suppose because everyone does their chatting on MFP? How have you been getting on?

I'm trying to log every day again set my calories to maintenance for the moment and trying to pull a deficit. Need to get back into the mindset to log as I go along. Then I will set a proper target. Yesterday was bad with kfc for lunch as I was working away from the office and meeting went on late. Today it will be soup or the salad bar! Still looks too dark to go for a run... I just need a good kick to stay focused :(

The thing I find with using MFP is I find myself lying to the app- as if it'll disapprove of my lack of willpower! Clearly need to change my entire attitude towards food.

Does anyone else find themselves doing this?

I try to be honest to the app but sometimes don't weigh things or lose track of just how much chocolate I've eaten!

Hmm yesterday I had an evening meal out sprung on me. It was scrummy, and good job I had been for a run snd a swim in the morning so not a complete disaster! Salad day today :)

I'm going to try and use mfp also. Aiming to cut out the junk during the week and max my exercise. am sick of trying different diets.

ooh just got back into using mfp this week to get me back on 5:2 track - I'm being honest with it now, whereas before (like Andi) I'd lie to it

HI can i join you please?

I have just had a baby (baby number 5 actually!) i was 94 kg when i fell pregnant and she is 4 weeks now,im 91kg,i didnt really put any weight on when pregnant which is lucky really as i didnt try not to,i just tend not to eat as much when im pregnant as i dont feel like it.

ANyway,she is only 4 weeks old and im breastfeeding but i feel like im ready to do something about my weight,i am thinking,use mfp,go for a walk with the buggy every day for half an hour and use the exercise for 15 minutes every other morning,i know that sounds like not that much but i think its achievable for me at the moment and i dont want to do too much and get tired and give up,or affect my milk supply.

Any other breastfeeders trying mfp out there?
