Used it just the once, I used to work for a company that packaged it for resale in health food stores - never again! Felt like I was passing a bowling ball through my digestive tract :s You might want to try taking smaller amounts and with a heck of a lot more water than you might think. Psyllium husk is so hydrophilic…

A couple from the last few days for me: Went clothes shopping at the weekend (which, as a man is not my favourite thing to do) I'm now comfortably wearing size L tops and even bought one in size M - I started this journey wearing 3 and 4XL's. That my new pair of 34in waist jeans will be too big very soon and I'm going to…

Saw 199lb last week, started November 2015 at 308lb and 197.6lb popped up on the scale yesterday morning. So just about 9 months but still a good 20lb to target.

It all depends on body composition unfortunately, I'm the same height as you but 38" 's fall off me and 36" needs a belt. 34" is comfortable without a belt right now. My scale weight is 226lbs. I'm both lucky/unlucky in that a lot of my weight is in my stomach and back and my stomach does the overhang thing. Means I can…

Started last November at 308lb, 42/44" uk mens jeans and 19" neck/6XL shirts (4X t's). As of today 227lbs and 34" jeans, 16.5/17" neck XL/2XL shirts and XL t's. Never been this small in my adult life and have no idea what sizes I'll be at my goal 182lbs :smiley:

Depends on your sex and body shape, I was 235lbs when my waist was 47". It was 56" at 308lbs.

This ^ almost exactly this, turning 29 at 308lb and realising that the next year would pass one way or another. Now down 77lb and the lightest I've been my entire adult life, lots more to go but I can't wait to start my 30's.

Hah I never thought of it like that! :D

Who on earth flagged this as spam?? She speaks the truth. Oilseed rape is a major trigger source for hayfever sufferers (grass pollens are my nemesis though)

Oops my bad :s :s I'm lacking my afternoon coffee, apologies!

Not disagreeing with that statement but.....the OP is a guy.

Is the walking you're logging part of your regular daily activities? If it is then your setting of lightly active would be fairly accurate. However if that is the case then you shouldn't be logging it separately. The MFP calorie goal is calculated to include your regular daily activities as part of your chosen deficit.…

Metallica, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, In Flames, Chimera, DevilDriver, Amon Amarth basically anything loud and stompy gets my blood flowing and the weights lifted. The one piece that gets me everytime is 'shine on you crazy diamond parts 1 - 9' by Pink Floyd, no good to workout to but try listening to it with your eyes closed…

I would suggest upping your calories by switching to 1.5lb loss per week. I'm a 29 male, 5ft 10 currently 236lb and started at 308. I walk 6 to 10 miles a day for work and hit the gym 3 times a week for weight training. Losing at a rate of 1.5 to 2lb a week and eating between 1900 and 2100 calories a day. I would never…

No, no and a thousand times more no. Your body doesn't store carbs as fat, it breaks them down to glycogen and sends that to muscles for use and storage. Excess of any of the macro groups will cause eventual fat storage regardless of where it came from (something to remember is that there is protein and fat in bread as…

For preference either a good biltong, beef jerky or bonafiskur (fish jerky), portable, easy to eat and delicious.

I typically walk a minimum of 7 miles a day thanks to my job (in all weathers too I should add) so tend to only use the gym once or twice a week for weight work. Although it gets logged automatically thanks to auto sync I don't eat any of the walking calories back because I've allowed for them in my basic activity setting.…

I have no personal issue with anyone following a vegan existence. They do their thing and I do mine. I only get a bit grumpy when I am judged for doing my thing because it doesn't fit another's outlook or opinion. I always think of it like this; opinions are like belly buttons - everyone has one and no-one wants yours…

A bad workman always blames his tools; and that is all that MFP is - a tool to be used. If you don't learn to use a tool properly then you will foul up or hurt yourself.

My apologies, diary and the diary industry are still a heated subject for me having been involved in it for several years. I never intended to offend anyone with my description of skimmed milk - it was a bit of an inside joke and in hindsight wouldn't have meant the same to others as it meant to myself and my…
-
Isn't it nice how you conveniently ignored the rest of my post about quality standards and working practices in order to focus on the one piece of personal opinion it contained? You're quite right it was my personal preference, I've drunk all types of milk with varying fat contents and find skimmed to be distasteful to my…
