Um, this doesn't sound very healthy. It is one approach, sure, but complex carbs still have a very valid place in a healthy balanced diet and are not the root of all evil. While being a healthy weight is important, the number on the scales is not an absolute indicator of health. Reading this a couple of points spring to…

Thanks for this, a really good tip. I see what you mean and another good option. I was pleased to find one of my local beers this way B)

MAGIC! Thank you!! I like how it lists the source too, that one is going in the bookmark list

Cheers for that. In summer I make a simple mint syrup and let it steep overnight as I found just adding sugar didn't dissolve either and making a syrup I reckon you use less sugar and it increases the mint flavour. Maybe I'll start a new thread re how to accurately find calories in alcohol as I think others are in the same…

Thats a good idea - flavoured vodka and soda - will try this! Thanks B)

Actually this seems like a good time to ask (sorry OP for doing this here) - How does everyone else find the nutritional info of alcohol accurately? I am struggling with this - there are many MFP database entries that conflict...

Yum I go nutty for mojitos! When I can be bothered making them properly they are sooo nice! As a quick cheat - I found some low calorie mojito flavour - brand is hansells I think only a few cals per serve, you add the rum, a little bit of flavour and top up with soda water for a low cal mixer and its not bad either and…

I have been thinking about the calories in mixers lately too. Last night I tried brandy with soda water - it was a bit meh, so I think I prefer it straight unless I see a better idea here! It may have been a little better with a squeeze of lemon or maybe some ginger infused soda water but for now I think that one will stay…

I like white rum with pineapple juice and a dash of coconut essence

If the database or 'Your Food' database entry serve size is entered in grams, then when you add the food, you will get a couple of options for the serve size. So [quantity] x [serve size] By default it comes up with 1 x [serve size] e.g. 1 x 59g But you can change the serve size to 1g and instead adjust quantity so for the…

^^This haha

Here is my take on it - A smile is attractive on anyone. Edited: This question seems pointless and shallow. At the end of the day - it is *you* and you alone who must be happy with their body. All bodies are beautiful, it is confidence that makes them attractive.

I had this problem and a few battles that ended in tears for me. I think the posters above are absolutely right. I started saying dish it up in a ramekin with a teaspoon = tick. Hubby wanted to please me. Then I got the food scales, and we leave a notebook beside them and he jots down what weight to roughly aim for for…

Booo It looks like I have missed the action for the day - can't access anymore.... the mind boggles...

Re: Could've been worse [/quote] ...Ew

Thats awesome - obviously not for the subject! A guy I work with a couple of years back once described a woman as having a 'face like a dropped pie' Every now and then, I get this image of this sacked out sylvester stallone mouth busted up pie in the gutter with mince all busted out the side and I get the giggles

I love 'swamp donkey' - look it up in urban dictionary - funny!

Last night at the gym, I put on 'Eye of the tiger' and pretended I was Rocky working out for a big tournament

Request Sent

Thanks for the request :smiley: Look forward to helping each other Lana

I dreamed last night that I was attending Kurt Cobain's funeral but had to keep introducing myself as his first wife before he was famous and we drifted apart and moved on. When I woke up I was genuinely sad and exhausted from the ceremony but was glad that I caught up with Courtney.... weird huh!

Please add me too, (sending request now) when I joined MFP the likes and helpful comments were thick and fast but I am finding the likes and comments are dropping off as we get into week 3 and now I am feeling alone in this again :'( I don't want to 'collect' friends but I am craving a smaller number of good contacts to…

So Funny! Love It!!!

As the original poster of the confession I am laughing right now as I imagine if this happened to me I would wonder if I was going nuts and whether I needed a lie down! Hahaha good one. Gotta mess with us OCD types once in a while lmao! Now for your next trick: Mess with the alignment of the remotes on the coffee table!!!

My parents favour my younger sister more than me because she is most like them. As my sister pointed out to me once, my goals and priorities probably make them insecure about their own which is why it is easier to favour her. (I never knew she was so wise?!) Don't know if this applies in your situation but food for…

OMG Hilarious!

Awesome! Gotta give this a go for sure!

I don't feel nearly as bad now lol - still kinda a newbie (day 15 woot woot) Especially as I considered I was being good (ish) What can I say.... I love cold beer and hot pizza!! Thanks for cheering me up everyone who commented on this!!! You guys rock! :smiley:
