I have had a phlips for about 2 years now. I honestly have to write that I love it. I have cooked chips (Mainly) aka french fries for you non British types. I have also friend fish fingers, shrimp.

I am trying to find people similar to myself

Those points are all important and true. Having a travelling companion has helped me a great deal in the past.

Male and Late forties/early fifties would be close a enough compadre.

How do figure out 1 slice of pizza ?? It is just a fraction of Pi I thought.

BillMcKay - I have a goal this year to stay below 75kg for one month. Last year my goal was to get below 80kg for one month and that was a drop from 88kg. That is all. I am fine with opinions, judgements, jokes, quotes and handy hints about how to grow courgettes.

Machika, you are an inspiration.

Hi Machika9. Thanks for your positive vibes. I have been on MFP for about 2 years but slipped over the last few months. Back on again and thought a little discipline would help me. My goal is to drop from 82kg to 74kg in the three months. A drop of 8kg in 12 weeks (that is 18 pounds in old money, just under 2 pound a week)…

The way to cook salmon is this. Take the fillet, rub in salt since this will draw out the water. After about 10 minutes put the fillet, skin side down onto a plate of flour. so it coats the skin This will protect the skin when you put it in the pan and make it lovely and crispy. Heat up a flat based frying pan with a…

Isn't 'aproche' a type of french cooking technique ?

Hi I am also a fat dad. I was fatter about 8 months ago. Dropped from 88kg to 80 kg with a goal of 75 kg. Happy to accept an invite from you as a friend. Believe me, even losing 5kg (1 stone) in weight makes a huge difference. best regards Graham

Totally unacceptable behaviour and the bullys should be outed for the scum they are. You cuold go to a senior manager or HR department if you have one. Legally I am sure they have to deal with it. Keep the email as a record and start making a diary of actions you take and reactions you experience. You may feel that ousting…

I will check the salt level in the bread ingredients. Maybe it is just store bought bread that has that affect on me.

It has to be daily and always at the same time.

good exercise. Do much do they weigh ?

often

Makes me wonder how they work out calories for exercise and food.

Thanks.

What does it mean ^this ??

Exercise is so hard and such a chore. It has to be exercise that fits in with your lifestyle. For me I cycle to and from work ( 20 miles) and work on my allotment every evening. The main thing is it does not feel like exercise.

Exercise effort allows you to reward yourself with added treats that take you over your daily calorie allowance. Plus exercise makes you feel good with the release of natural occuring endorphins.

I think any exercise that becomes a chore may not be the right type of exercise long term. MFP is helping me watch what I eat. I always try to stay within the calorie limit created by the allowed allowance but calories burnt off through exercise. For me exercise is just a license to eat more :-)

I have found weighing myself dailly helps and MFP plots the progress on a graph. I can see the fluctuations one day up, one day down but I can also see the steady decline in my weight. It is a slow process but it is there if you are honest and strict with recording your calories in and calories out. Take this journey in…

Watching the calorie intake foremost. While adding exercise at a steady rate that fits your lifestyle.

Have to remember that activities, like running, can injure. Less so when not overweight I understand.

I had a look on youtube and was given the impression that, with the right technique, it was not so intense.

Lose weight in the kitchen, lose pounds in the gymn and gain fitness with exercise. (probably only UK people would get this :-) )

Still convinced from empirical data that diet is the most effective, only, way to lose weight.

Where can I buy scyth ? Or where can I find the plans for making one ?

I have come to the conclusion that losing the fat helps show the puny muscles I have underneath. I may do some weight training in the future. It helps to know that I will be able to see the benefits sooner.
