I think my legs look completely identical to yours, and I've never been comfortable in shorts. but your legs look so great in those shorts! What the hell am i worried about! I'm going to wear my shorts now you're rocking yours.

30. When you become intensely annoyed when people miss use the words 'lose' and 'loose' solely because it's mentioned so often by other mfp users, and it never used to overly bother you before...

This is happening to my posts too! It's infuriating! Also, I love love love les mills classes but i agree, weights will get you the shaping results you want and the rest days in between will be perfect for optimal results

Celiac disease here too. By the time i got a nutritionist appointment months after my diagnosis (colonoscopy, gastroscopy) I'd learnt everything myself anyway by using internet and reading labels. I'd have starved otherwise! Definitely get your own toaster!

And i confess I'm getting so annoyed with mfp cutting my posts down to one or two sentences, somehow they always make sense but it often misses the point and frustrates the hell out of me

I'm completely gluten free. If I bake, i do it with gf flour and use normal recipes. Usually turns out fine. just try it!

IIt's a low calorie pleasure and how many of those are there? !!

While dieting. Hmm. What about the rest of your life? Will you want to go back to it after you've stopped dieting or is it a permanent change? Cos if it won't work long term then maybe just keep drinking it. Google the benefits of drinking it, there's plenty of those as well

Pretty much if you avoid processed foods you'll be ok! Easier said than done I know. I tend to stick to lean meats, like beef or chicken or fish, vegies, fruits and things like rice, kumara, canned beans and lentils, canned fish, and snacks are usually almonds or fruit or corn things with peanut butter, or yoghurt. There…

Slightly related, for some reason when I send my daughter text messages, about once a week, it will send the first half of the message I sent, and then second half will be a message I sent her weeks or sometimes even months ago. We have no idea why this happens, and it does not happen with anyone else except between the…

I confess. That was judgey and I should probably feel bad about it. "Should"

I've just read some (two) of the recent and most commonly referred to threads mentioned lately in this thread. Oh. my. goodness!!! How do I put this diplomatically? How about, an abundance of replies to a thread is not an indicator of success, perhaps this sums it up? Unless of course we're talking about the confessions…

Ok. Confession. I have no idea what a pop tart is. It sounds like something you would put in the toaster, hence the 'pop'...? And I think it might be sweet not savory? We don't have those in New Zealand. I also didn't know what doritos were but they have well and truly arrived here now and my kids love them. Meh. They…

Yoghurt and sliced apple for dipping is nice.

I confess I have just been honest about the small weight gain from easter indulgence and updated my correct weight into mfp. Blah. On the plus side it gave me slightly more calories. But not enough to get excited about. But just, blah. Dammit. I'm on it though, back on the horse.

And an elasticated waistband for

Ufo shaped gloop. It looked

Was the stripper would arrive,

I confess that if I had to choose just one flavor for my food for the rest of my life, it would be salt and vinegar.

Great thread everyone! Now that I've caught up to the current posts I can finally post myself. Just getting to this point feels like I've smashed out a huge essay or similar. Like I've done the research required to participate or something. I confess I cannot stand listening to people eat. It takes me from calm to mad in…

Vouchers for sports stores that sell exercise gear and clothing? Pedometers, Fitbits? Not sure how much you're looking to spend but anything that helps towards their weight loss goals. Maybe even a footspa, if you're not indulging in food vices it's nice to have a pampering session

Seconding this. Lets keep this thread positive and supportive for the OP.

Managingintake, you are doing everything right, the steps you are taking to look after yourself are brilliant, you are doing a great job. Keep on keeping on, one step at a time, one day at a time, sometimes even one hour at a time. You know that you cannot go back. You know this. Do this thing now, not when you're 50 or 60…

One more thing. i stayed and stayed and stayed in a terrible relationship because 'i loved him'. With the benefit of hindsight, i came to realise that love on it's own is not enough to sustain a decent relationship. There are many other essential components to a sustainable and lasting (loving ) relationship. So if you're…

I would consider calling your psychologist and discussing this situation with her. That way whatever happens she is already aware and has a chance to work out some solutions that might help. I can't really think of anyone better suited to guiding you on this one but her. I feel it would help you immensely if you were able…

The coffee itself, the boiling water and trim milk if it's instant coffee or if I'm making an espresso with my coffee machine is a bit more milk, frothed, with the hot water and ground coffee. no sweetener and no full fat milk because i don't like it really creamy and i cannot stand sweetner or sugar in my coffee, ugh! As…

I think this. I've used my polar ft7 on the elliptical machine and what the machine says is wildly inflated to what i actually burn (100-200cal different!) So i never go by what the machines say because they overestimate

Good for you Managingintake! I'm so glad to hear this. i feel that these issues he is hassling you on are not weight related, they are about control. Google 'the power and control wheel'. Sit back, take a breath, read it and give yourself a break. I read this myself years back at the direction of my counselor and was…

Thank you Pacific, Although the drinking made my anxiety and depression worse, I was severly depressed and anxiety-ridden for years before and I eventually chose alcohol to cover it. I was on anti-depressants from 2005 to 2012 and my husband made me go off of them because he said they made me "numb", which they did (Paxil,…
