stunning progress, sir. A cap doffing!
Added many/ most of you but not Feek as couldn't find him
I use it as a guide as always. I find just having "a tool" makes you think a bit more about what you're eating and that. I think most people are over estimating burnt kcals and most of the time underestimating what they eat but hey. It keeps people on the right track.
One thing that bugs me though is; someone I know really underestimates all his stuff, like puts muesli 178kcals. Yea, but where is your milk? That's just 35g (which I doubt you have, I weighed mine the other day and so put 1.5/2x the servings in) of muesli!? Bah. Or the person who puts in "cleaning the house" as their daily exercise?!
/rant
Either way, I have like 10kgs to lose in the next 11 weeks. I'm going to smash this.
I couldn't agree more. When I input my exercise I highly doubt MFP's estimated calories burnt. To be fair though, it is only an issue if you intend on eating back those burnt calories.
As for calories eaten, I had a nasty shock when I started weighing my food as I had been grossly underestimating stuff, like how much milk I'd pour in my cereal etc.

Also the crisps are massive amounts for how much they fill you up!
Was my yesterday. Could have done with another banana or sutin. My weeks are fine, I just struggle at weekends!

1 year of using MFP comes up tomorrow. just over 35kg lost, which I am very proud of!
Wish I had taken some 'before' pictures though!

That's like me, I struggle to find good before pictures as I've always kept clear of cameras.
Good job on the 35kg down, well done

I've been awful. Every time I get on a roll with fitness and diet I get an injury that puts me out of exercise contention for weeks, then I get bored and eat.
Just added everyone, hope you don't mind.
Lost 3 stone last year, but have since put 2 back on and can't go more than a couple of days without losing motivation. If people can add me, hopefully it'll help get me back on track.

ah man, I need to get back on there. Mrs pregnant, no excuse to put on more weight than her! I'm back on it now though, had a good week, so need to keep it back on to shift, now what I have put on again :/
I'll be eating back my calories today! MFP suggests 1320 and I'm almost at that already
Is that your daily allowance??? Wut.. I eat more in a single meal
are you trying to drop weight at a crazy rate or what? I'm at 4k/day.. Mind you I do try to gain.

I need to get motivated again. Weights creeped right back up, haven't actually weighed myself but sure I am at least 15st 6 or 7 right now.
I need to get some low carb breakfasts and lunches/dinners involved. What's best to do as I cycle 3.5 miles to work and back so I am always hungry when I am at work.
Low carb breakfast, carb loaded lunch, low carb dinner? or carb loaded breakfast, low carb lunch and dinner?
Need some recipe ideas too but stuff that doesn't break the bank, eating healthy is so damn expensive sometimes.

I have added I think everyone in this thread,
Feel free to add me http://www.myfitnesspal.com/user/himynameismick/status
I have had a bad few months / last year. Not help by a bunch of injuries that have limited me training. Finally getting over a muscle tear in my abdomen which has kept me pretty much out of everything since around April. I have started walk lots and will continue as I build up my strength again. Ideally I want to get down to 100kg which would be a hugh loss for me and then go from there.
