I got eyelash extensions today. I feel like I'm smuggling puppies on my face. They look pretty fab though. And natural (thank gawd). ETA: BUT, I was lying flat on my back for over an hour and a half and as some of you may appreciate, at 400lbs + that was just agony on my lower back. My right hip was already giving me a…

Cheese. It's gotta be the cheese. I freakin' love cheese. My Mum made special homemade bread today, and I got home late and had HORROR OF HORRORS, already had all my cals for the day. I walked away. But boy howdy I would have smashed that with some cheese *drool*

By no means hard core (only game on Xbox one, not PC etc), but I'll easily rack up a few days worth of Skyrim or Fallout given half the chance. Spent faaaar too much time with the Division earlier this year. Not really one for shooters, much more an open world RPG kinda gal. Currently tits deep in the Witcher 3 at present.…

Aaah yes, the good old night shift thread. Or as I like to call it, the 'I live in Australia and the rest of the world is asleep' thread. :D

I still haven't beat the pizza monster. I could easily down a whole pizza 6 months ago. Like no problem at all. We've had pizza twice since I've been on this journey and each time I've had 4 slices. I mean it's better than 8, and I always 'save' cals for them, but as I said, the pizza monster is a boss that's levelled way…

Daily, first thing after le bathroom. Chuck it into HappyScale. Then log on here once a week. As people have said, it's good to see the actual trend and not get freaked out by fluctuation.

Shoot, I'd love it if my weight only varied 1.2lbs in a day. Mine can vary up to 5lbs. Chill Winstaaaan. Give it time.

There is also the 300+ group. Everyone there knows what it's like to have a whole lot to lose. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1140-300

Knee and back pain is no joke. And I feel you. I'm over 300. Quite a bit over in fact. I echo what they above have said. Start small, focus on the nutrition, manage your cals and ensure you are eating at a deficit. I took a month or so of focusing on my eating and in reality eating at maintenance before dropping to a…

I was going to ask my feed the very same thing today!! The only one I've found 'ok' is the cookie dough one. I think because the texture is a bit better/less grainy. Please peeps, give us your Quest tips!

What you've done is amazing @HLaR79 ! I'm a bit the same, I'd rather people didn't know I was 'trying' to lose weight, something in my mind worries about the potential failure/embarrassment. Thus why I try keep (relatively) anonymous on here. So I empathise. But as you said, this journey is only about you. And…

YES! Forgive me. The 2 cals in my Pepsi Max can go f*** themselves. :wink:

Sugar alcohols = xylitol and erithrytol from memory. They are 'tooth friendly' - my ex was a dentist and would sing about them at every opportunity. They are found in a good many boutique/healthy sodas on the market (here in Australia at least). And I'll put my hand up as one of those who lost weight drinking diet soda,…

Oh no @HLaR79 ! Sinus infections are the worst :s I am prone to them because of allergies and stuff. I can absolutely recommend a sinus irrigator/neti pot. It sounds a bit gross but flushing saline/water through your nasal passages really helps. I do it every morning. Hopefully the spray gives you some relief! Feel better…

Wow who are these demented people going around commenting on other people's food diaries?!!? Mind your own damn business peeps. Unless someone asks for comment on their diary, keep your opinions to yourself. I'm a person who appreciates the 'clean' but mixes it up with some filth from time to time. And that's my damn…

I'm in the eggs+decent carb category for breakfast but when really pressed (or in hot weather like at the moment) I'll down a protein smoothie. Put stuff in a blender. Blend. Pour. Drink. Fill up blender with water to wash later. Maybe 3 minutes?

Most of the time nothing is off limits, but I do focus on eating 'healthy' nutrient dense foods. That doesn't mean I don't allow myself some pizza or ice cream or anything. They have just become what they are supposed to be: sometimes foods. Every now and then if I'm feeling a bit crap and my food choices have been less…

I get it, it's tough. The thought of the chicken/broccoli/brown rice cycle is depressing (but I'm naff and this is actually one of my favourite meals lol). But it doesn't have to all be about chicken. Lower fat content ground meats are good - turkey, lamb, pork and even beef (just check the fat ratio). Turkey chilli is…
