Thanks for all the help! I'll have a nose in tesco later, if not I'll just use the whole ones! Not 12 whole ones though...2 or 3 is enough for me, 4 at a push if totally ravenous and about to chew off my own leg! B)

I'm not very good at hitting protein and was looking for a guide, liked it as it gives portion sizes for actual food, to me 3oz chicken is easier to understand than "you need x gm of protein". Seemed to be a tad frowny on fruit...sugar i guess... That's 8 to 12 eggs!!!!!!! Bloody hell!!! I haven't seen cartons of egg…

I don't know about PCOS but I put a lot of weight on with the implant. I know that contraceptives do not cause weight gain (apparently) but anything that messes with your hormones is surely going to affect you. I had the implant taken out because of that and because I was constantly on or spotting. I now have to have the…

Apparently tans make people perceive you as thinner. Also you can get a shading one that kinda draws on the abs? Like that face makeup I keep seeing that has 3 shades....... Contouring!! So no....its not going to actually make the fat melt... but might make OP feel better?
-
To be fair it is quite a big change so that it probably why your Mum is a bit worried. Plus it's her job :) As long as you feel OK, keep on with it! Sounds like you're in the zone, use it while you have it! (My zone keeps running away and leaving me, it's like a naughty puppy)

THIS!!! we were just using the thermometer on the lid but it never got hot! Pleasantly warm is about as good as i can guess for it! Don't think the hubby constantly opening bits helped any either!! :-/ patience is a virture...which he doesn't posess!! I will check out the links tomorrow (near 10.30pm and I'm knackered)…

I'll have to find out the breed as have no idea...suspect it is just some cheapy thing he discovered on amazon/ebay but I would like to give it a fair go! Its like a two part tower, 2 trays for charcoal (one in the top and one in the bottom) with the wire wotsits to cook on about 1cm from the coals. This is according to…

Would that make it a little like cauli rice then?

Pop in chicken breast. 6hrs on low, 3 hours on high. Mine also…

A cupcake. Someone had a birthday. It is all I have eaten today. Not feeling awesome (to be fair the cupcake didn't help but she made them herself!)

Get a chicken :)

I would have thought you would be allowed more eggs as many people kept chickens for eggs and food. Same theory as the veggies.
-
It was the war! The entire country was encouraged to grow their own. If you had a garden, you grew veg. My Grandad did up until he died! Which would mean at least potatoes, carrots, runner beans, peas, cauli, cabbage, parsnip, swede, turnip, Brussels, corn on the cob, pears, apples, plums, berries, rhubarb and probably…
-
Soup here also Tis a staple in my regular "Ropey looking veg soup" which is basically anything that needs using. Even the stalks from broccoli and cauli and middles of celery etc... Shove in whatever veg chopped...tin of tomatoes, onion, garlic, whatever seasoning you like (I've done herbs, curry powders/pastes, salt,…
-
So is fruit and veg "free?" (as many people would grow their own) Does meat include chicken and rabbit...my Mum remembers the end of rationing and keeping chicken and rabbits to eat (which would also mean more eggs) I'm just interested as that doesn't sound like a lot to live on!

One for naked. Less to look good...I want to feel good naked! For gods sake just give me the lipo...

On an average day I am up at 6, work all day then go to they gym and don't even get to think about cooking dinner til about 8 or 9pm. I make snacks/meals for work in the evening, salad, soups, seafood sticks, crackers, cheese, greek yohurt, fruit, raw veggies and salsa to dip are usual for me. I like to snack! I often cook…

Volume wise a litre of muscle would weigh more than a litre of fat so it is sort of true I guess...

It annoys me more that there are starving children in the UK and yet the TV tells me I have to help feed the starving kids *wherever*... should we not be sorting out our own homeless/starving/poverty problems before jumping into everyone elses to help?? Sorry, bit OT there!! My fave recent comments from someone in my work…
-
The best thing to do would be to ask on your news feed for your friends to take a look as none of the rest of us can see if you don't want to make it public! :) Is there anything specific you are worried about? Are you hitting Carbs, Fats and Protein? I'm hideous at protein! So long as you are within your calories, eating…

Anyone?

Had fluoxetine, citalopram and just weaned off sertraline...no issues losing weight while on any of em! Tho when i started the fluoxetine i hadnt been eating a lot, or sleeping...was verging on a nervous breakdown.... then for 2 weeks i didn't eat at all followed by 2 weeks of horrendous stomach cramps when i did try to…

See i got confused till someone said its a restaurant. I thought it was a chili type seasoning thing. My first thought was "put the toilet paper in the freezer"
-
I snack on berries, fruit, celery, salsa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, ghurkins, melon, seafood sticks, prawns, mussels... have grazed through bags of mixed salad amd watercress...crackers n soft cheese... Alao drink a glass of water to distract me, sometimes stops the niggling! Good luck!
-
I can do up to 10lb in water weight when I've my period...I keep a chart and spreadsheet, so long as my overall trend is downward I try not to be too uspet about the spikes. With no more infomation it is quite difficult to suggest helpful things other than weigh all food and measure all liquid and give it some time!
-
Could you try having lots of snacky type bits during the day? I graze so I don't always really have meals at work. I have fruit, yoghurt, salsa and veggies to dip, extra light soft cheese and crackers, cup soup, corncakes (prefer to rice cakes), salads, home made soup, seafood sticks, mussels/prawns...thats just a quick…

Lower belly and boobs. The tummy is getting better. The boobs aren't getting smaller and for that I am enternally grateful!! Took long enough to grow the things, I have no desire to lose them!
-
Scales are awesome! Mine only cost me £10! It is surprising when you first start weighing how much things weigh! A large carrot can be 140g, I'd have guessed half that! (mind you, its a carrot, probably not going to break the diet!) I found the barcode scanner on the app to be totally helpful as well. Saves time. Although…
-
I am feeling hurty and and woozy and drowsy. Bad back, random rash... antihistamines would be a good sedative!

Why make your kidneys work more than they need to? Do you like having to work more than you need to? Would you paint a large wall with a big roller or a 1" brush? I personally drink a lot of water. I am prone to bladder infections. These can then travel to the kidneys and then it's a whole lot of fun. Almost been…
