Walking around as much as possible, drinking plenty of water, also try holding a hot water bottle over your lower abdominal area which can help things get moving sometimes if the medicinal route is taking its time.

Go you! That's awesome :) I've been gradually improving my running since starting last year from scratch, but motivation is hard!! Well done on the 50 miles! :)

If you look in the "Recipes" section of the mfp forums, there's a thread where everyone is posting pics of their meals... really good for some inspiration, loads of things I wouldn't have thought of cooking (& I like to think I cook quite a big variety of foods) - although be warned it'll make you hungry looking at all…

Sorry to hear that she's having problems, well done for stepping in to help. I know you said your mother didn't want to see a dietitian but this really would be a good idea, they would probably get her to keep a food diary for a couple of weeks and make suggestions on what to change. If she wants to do it without the…

Lol whoops that's meant to say "poor" not "poop"!!! Freudian slip maybe!!

Poop OP what a situation to be in, I've been there, he was 8 years older than me but very similar situation, highly manipulative, very intelligent, had had a bad time growing up, had mental health issues which he refused to get medical help for... I didn't even understand that it was abuse until I left, and I was with him…

How's your housekeeping? Dust makes my bf's eczema flare up like crazy, so could be an allergen for you if you've just left home & maybe not thinking so much about the vacuuming! It might also be worth speaking to a pharmacist/practice nurse to check that it definitely is eczema, if it's another skin condition like…

A packet of pom-bears from a multipack is 79cals, if you're a fan of that processed potatoey goodness like I am!

Dammmmmn now you're making ME hungry!!!!

These all sound good... re the canned pumpkin, is this just cooked pureed pumpkin? I'm in England & I've never seen it for sale canned, but there are whole pumpkins for sale everywhere and really cheap, so thinking I could just chop boil & puree it myself?

Ooooh those look gooooood! Last week I made a loaf of wholemeal banana bread, with choc chips & walnuts, that I'd been having as a super quick breakfast... gonna give those cookies a try though... with a gigantic coffee too, of course!

I was on implanon & now on nexplanon, I haven't found that it affects my weight loss. I'd definitely look at what you're logging and make sure you're not overestimating your exercise calories, so you can rule out any other issues before blaming the implant ☺

I agree with the above, also try not to have foods in the house that make it easier to binge- if I know I have snacky stuff like chips/crisps, cookies etc in the cupboard then I'll eat them! But if you have a cupboard/fridge of ingredients it's way more difficult to eat.... uncooked rice & raw veg & chicken just isn't a…

Have you tried looking on google scholar? There might not be a curated list but it might be a good place to start... more reliable than most magazines, anyway! Although you can't always access the newer articles without paying a fee to the university/company that owns it.

I had this too, pressing the back button didn't help- just brought up a different ad! I'm not too fussed about advertising as I use the free version of MFP so I know they've gotta advertise, but it's not appropriate when you're browsing the forums and get a *very graphic* ad for porno popping up!! Do I really want to see…

Hi OP, I am also a nurse and know what you mean about finding it difficult to fit in exercise around working and training, it's amazing how draining studying is too! There's also the extra challenge of eating on a student budget. Definitely agree with what others have said - you CAN do this! Plan ahead with your meals so…
