  • Wow... that makes sense and I've never thought about it... I barely recognise myself in photos and hate having them taken for that reason! Photos of myself creep me out beyond belief sometimes. I've never really thought about it all being the reverse of what I'm used to seeing.
  • This is kinda sad but a great distraction I use when on the treadmill or other reptitive exercise is to pick a subject (like countries for example) and then go through the alphabet listing them... (like a - Africa b - Belgium c- Columbia.) Works for movies, names, Italian dishes etc. Helps distract me from breathing,…
  • Til- skin can actually melt into a oven heating element if hot enough and sort of get stuck.... yup, a frigging low calorie pitta pocket pizza put me in a&e, big hole in my hand now. my diet is trying to kill me!
  • Best home gym purchase in one I made? Adjustable incline bench WITH attached squat rack, cheaper than the whole multi gym thing but fitting a seperate squat rack and bench in my L shaped home gym would have been a nightmare!
  • More than I'm proud of.... Seriously have nothing to do but browse here and pinterest for the next 7.5 weeks..... keeps me motivated though and gathering up some gifs, recipies and the like.
  • I went to Scotland with work (been a fair few places now.) It's exactly the same as else where, chain restaurants, posh ones, pubs, mcdonalds, subway.... Just choose appropriate choices like when eating out at home, chain hotels often have soups and healthy foods, you can ask for eggs on toast or cereal/oatmeal at most…
  • I'd chalk it up to one bad day, get back to your deficit and remember how rubbish you feel today next time the urge to gorge on chocolate surfaces. I don't know what your cals are (obviously cant drop them too low) but you could also drop 100 cals the next few days, but sometimes that does more harm than good. Don't eat…
  • Yup the smaller sizes require less lbs dropped. Last two years I've been ping ponging between a 6 and an 8 on the same dam 8lbs. I want waist sizes too! Doesn't help some shop vanity size more than others either!
  • Not a huge fan of ww but this really does taste great. (I would personally freezer it for half hour I serving soon after making. I play around with the base, sometimes ginger nuts, oats baked, museli crunch etc to get the calories lower. )…
  • Not mythical! Gym spas suck imo, my old gym had one, not great spa facilities or services nor have other gym based spas I've tried. Go to a proper spa! And yes I go to the spa (special trip) for a good massage and some spoiling couple times a month, a weekend away to the spa every few months is a great treat too! Beauty…
  • Shape wear or compression pants under it?
  • I kinda thought this was a thread on some sort of yo yo related exercise like awesome dance with yo yo's and those yo yo tricks. I'm the same though so I plan my exercise for the week in advance, if I have an allotted time to run or lift I find it much harder to make excuses or get distracted by chores etc. Today is…
  • I would take a specific list shopping with your planned food nothing else (and your mom's food) and stick to it 100%. After a while it will become easier to stick too and second nature, it also takes out the stress of looking at the food and getting worked up. You could also try just taking the right money?
  • Brownies Cheese Which ever comes with the most ice cream and syrup
  • Bake! Bake it all! Imo. brownies, mug cakes, microwave brownies, cheesecakes, soufles, poke cakes, ice cream it, add to sugar free jell-o, stick in your yoghurt, add to oatmeal..... Soya isn't the best for baking but it can be done pretty well. Failing that can stick it on gumtree or craigslist Some weirdo will buy opened…
  • Bread, bread rolls, French stick..... never been to bad with chocolate etc but bread products? Esp grilled with butter and marmite or brown sauce...
  • Love! I've done the trophy gf/golddigger route and as above says the shine wears off pretty fast I lasted about 3 years and it ended in a horrific mess. Would not recommend! So for me now it would have to be love 100%!!! *Saying that I've dated considerably poorer and that doesn't work at all, seems to be a male ego thing.
  • You are my new fav person! I've been putting off ordering pizza because I never know what to do with the other half! That sound amazing, two of my fav foods combined, pizza time tonight!
  • Oh my god! That won't play but you juiced a little fat man? Scary diet.... (Bad show though, I did watch a bit once.)
  • You have done amazing to lose all that weight! If you find a guy worth settling down and having a family with you'll feel confident with him to get intimate. If you feel too self consious then that guy ain't worth it imho. I think it shows incredible strength to get your weigt in check and be healthy, you just need to…
  • Not just you I still struggle on fats too. Using full fat healthy oils to cook and dress salads, peanut butter goes in anything sweet. (The sweeter desert type stuff hides the taste pretty well) high fat nuts go in all my cereals, ice creams and drinks. Stop buying light dairy if you are, my life became much easier when I…
  • Calorie deflect mostly, but some of us are just built with bigger lower halves. I gave up trying to slim mine down (because I'd look ridiculous up top by the time they were slim) focusing on muscley legs really helped with the appearance and how I felt about them. If you've got bigger legs make the most out of them!
  • Gooutdoors usually has some pretty good quality reasonably priced ones. (I'll be there in tears when my 5 year old beloved hiking boots go:to shoe heaven, but that time is coming for them soon. Sob sob.)
  • 20 days is fantastic! You can do this, it only gets better from here! Great job in posting this too! Being healthy and sober is the best thing you'll ever do I promise. * not an alcoholic myself but 4 years 10 months clean heroin/opiate addict, (also tee total) here if you need to vent or need someone to talk to. Is there…
  • So quickly to sum up, because I feel like I'm missing something as this sounds a little off to me. -your 160lbs at the moment, down from 175lbs in two weeks? -doing three hours a day on the elliptical 4 times a week? - eating 1400 ish calories a day. Is that before you eat back exercise cals or after? (Total or net)? I…
  • Don't go there save your money for some awesome low calorie meals like expensive steak, freaking caviar if you want for the price of those pills. 20£ a month estimates for weightloss.. After one month you could buy a slimming pair of jeans or a gym membership. After three months at 20£ a month you could buy an awesome…
  • It sounds odd but I get what your saying, My brain seems to think it should want a "bad" meal, it just doesn't really want it when I sit down to plan it and loses all appeal. (And I'm iifym...) Honest advise is to go buy an individual big cookie with a coffee in starbucks or similar. See how you feel after, should be…
