I make a big batch of vegetarian bolognese (quorn mince + chopped veg + pasata) and have spaghetti bolognese and layer the leftover bolognese with lasagna sheets and a jar of white sauce to make a veggie lasagna. Two low-cal meals, one slow cooker recipe, minimum amount of hassle!

The other day I mentioned that I weigh less than my husband for the first time in our relationship. Of course, I said, I'm dramatically shorter, so I'm still wider than him. "No you're not" "That's sweet of you to say darling, but it doesn't hurt my feelings. It's just true." "No it isn't. You're thinner than me now. Try…

When I was ~19, I weighed around 10st (about right for my height) I used to look at my thighs and my stomach and my muffintop and quietly hate every inch of myself because I was so fat. So seven years later, when I weighed 18st, I didn't see much difference. A little while back, I went to h&m very tentatively, knowing I'd…

Is that you Regina George

Uh, OP... Orlistat reduces the amount of calories you absorb from fat. If you can't eat any fewer calories without under eating, then Orlistat will mean you're under eating. *side eye emoji* And of course, if you're eating little to no fat as you claim, then taking Orlistat won't make any difference, will it? *angel face*…

My husbands Fitbit HR lets you tell it you're driving so it doesn't count that period, but you have to do it online at the end of the day. Hope that helps!

yes that was my point good joke-dodging

for diet you can have four cheese per day hope that helps

You could just take two flintstones vitamins?

They inject fresh chicken with salt water too, and no it's not something you need to worry about.

This is mine: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Walkman-NWZW273S-Waterproof-Swimming/dp/B00I05EFO4/ref=dp_ob_title_ce (I have it in white because that makes me feel a little like Olivia Pope). It's cordless, so no wires to get caught, and the width adjuster holds it on to my ponytail without goggles or a swimming cap. The buttons…

If you plan to swim lengths regularly, it gets old reaaaaallllll fast, so maybe treat yourself to an underwater MP3 player. Mine was £50 from Sony, and is the only reason I have managed to go swimming four times a week all year without dying of boredom.

Uh, according to NHS guidelines you can't get more than one 'serving' of your five-a-day from juice. Because fibre. Drinking two pints of juice is not much better for you than drinking one glass - and probably worse, because calories. Not to mention that fruit juice is acidic and will do the exact opposite of 'relaxing'…

This website/app is great for people who struggle to find motivation to diet because of the way that it is gameified to keep users engaged, both with the app and with weight-loss itself. Unfortunately, because of this MyFitnessPal is NOT a good tool for people who are over-motivated, anxious or dealing with an eating…

*shrug* you'd be surprised how little I care about what you're looking forward to, or your uninformed opinion on what I'm eating.

I've used Herbalife shakes for about six months now. Herbalife has some strange business practises (rumours of a pyramid scheme, etc) BUT I find their shakes do work, and taste good. I use unsweetened almond milk, which brings them to about 150 calories each, and they keep me full til lunch. As a bonus, within about two…

Long term: Too much sodium over a long period of time may contribute to high blood pressure, which is why 'reduced salt' products exist. Short term: Too much salt may cause you to retain water, which can be frustrating when you're losing/gaining weight as it can make your weigh less accurate. I wouldn't worry about eating…
