Monday 9th July weigh in

That's what I was wondering? Mine says 1200. I'm 5' 7" and 13 3

1200 but then it puts it up if I add excercise. What is yours? I wonder if we are all the same.

What has it said is your calorie allowance?

I'm still doing it but am not bothering with things like adding housework as an excercise, just things that are sort of extra. Also can't be bothered to add 4/5 cups of coffee per day as there is only a little milk and that is semi skimmed.

I am however erring on the heavy side when guessing the weight of things so am not giving myself any leeway at all. I am rather bothered that I am being so good and still not really losing weight though. I'll keep it up until I go on holiday and see how I feel about it when I return.

Yes, I have Notso and my eating habits are changing - substituting things like agave nectar to sweeten my morning porridge - a tiny amount is all I need, and fresh fruit like bananas and strawberries instead of dried fruit. Eating more veg, keep getting told I'm not having enough carbs and fat! My calorie intake has reduced day by day and I had 1400 calories yesterday. I now realise that my sugar intake was too high, despite being really careful - today I will be under the limit on sugar for the first time. Feeling more energetic.

Looks like I have lost at least 2 lbs in this last few days - will report in on Monday.

Ditto

Has everyone continued using the My Fitness Pal app/site this week? I've become quite addicted!

I find it really helps me to be focused (and honest!) about what I'm eating, but the proof of the pudding will be at the next weigh-in!

Enjoy the rest of the week-end everyone

notso I'm the same. Years ago oh and I went to a wine festival and were given a glass each that was marked with the 25cl! I still have both of them and am using them while calorie counting

Wine glasses have got much bigger haven't they? After some gentle nagging from DD2, I bought some old fashioned smaller wine glasses from a charity shop. They hold the same amount as a standard pub measure....not much! They are re-fillable though.

I'm still sticking with the app even though as jeni says, it's not foolproof. I'm focusing mainly on total calories and not getting too hung up on the breakdown into carbs, etc etc. I finished yesterday having consumed 6 calories more than they recommended....I find it's a good way of being disciplined about what you eat.

yoga 125 ml is the size a glass of wine was a very long time ago, nowadays it is always at least 250 ml. I hope that helps.

Does anyone actually measure the quantity of wine that you pour into the glass in the evenings? I am beginning to think I should - this magic app asks you whether you have 125ml or 250ml and I have no idea. Don't really want to buy a special measure as that seems a bit OTT but feel I should be more concious of the amount in the glass!

I think it overestimates the amount I eat.

I think it overestimates the sugar content.

That's probably why it's free Grannylin. We'll find out soon enough if we all put half a stone on next week!

I,m not sure this app is foolproof- it's given me 16 g of sugar for a pear and 0 g for a nectarine. Yesterday I had the same problem with the sodium amounts in slices of bread?

Yes, Jeni just looked and added my little comment!

I'm not really clever jeni this is the way I normally eat or I would be huge, think it is hypothyroidism.

Who's a clever girl then.
Nice argument starting on prison thread!

Found it, thought it would be under 'messages' but all it says is that I have done things like excercise and how many calories I have eaten. I still have 928 to go today!

And is under news!

Mine came when I clicked something day complete.

I'm doing it online and it hasn't sent me any messages! So far it seems to be confirming that the reason I don't lose weight is having no thyroid gland. I haven't eaten as much as it says I should.

No! They start sulking. It's obviously male!

Ah! So insulting it doesn't work then?

After I'd completed the day! I talk nicely to mine!
Try being polite to it!

Eh? jeni how come you get positive messages off your app? Mine only tells me I need more food at breakfast time. By lunch, it stops giving advice!
