I confess that I met my other half on Tinder.. Also I am addicted to Love Island... Also I have a HUGE crush on Idris Elba

I take kelp tablets to kick start my metabolism - packed full of amino acids and minerals - best thing I ever bought! I would recommend doing your research though and speaking to your doctor first as not all natural supplements suit everyone.

Not if you wanna poop yourself - in my experience (and others I know who have tried various detox teas) all these do is make you lose water weight. Lots of water will have the same effect but without having to change your under crackers :p

People don't harm animals Chocolate has zero calories and tastes the same.... Weekends were 3 days long A shampoo was invented which kept your hair looking clean for an entire week! The Kardashians didn't exist

Sat at work wondering whether I should look for a new job because I'm SO bloody bored

No sure what you mean by diet plan... I'd recommend counting your calories on here as a good start though and cutting down on processed food. I find reducing my carbs helps my weightloss but that's just me, others find cutting back on fat more effective. It's trial and error when first starting out. With regards to…

Peanut butter and marmite on toast - AMAZING

Overnight oats: 1 pot of flavoured yogurt, 30g oats and berries. Leave in the fridge and eat cold the next morning! Smoothies: Great way to get your fruit and veggies in first thing (I put spinach and kale in mine and some spirulina too) Crumpets Pancakes - so many varients here and if you make a big batch the night before…

I went for crazy savage

I think they may have tested this as I had some blood tests following the scan. I take sea kelp supplements to jog my metabolism and have honestly found them to be the best thing ever!

I was officially diagnosed with this following a scan 6 weeks ago. No periods for over 18months, bloated, weight gain, mood swings, SO tired all the time and uncontrollable sugar cravings. Oh and the Acne - don't get me started on that! (I have managed to sort this out msyelf through skin peels thankfully!) I am currently…

Thanks for the advice :) I am already using almond milk, dairy free margarine and soya yogurt as I have used these products before and enjoyed them. I still have a splash of milk in my tea (I have tried all alternatives and as a huge tea drinker I haven't found one I can stand in tea yet). Cheese is a struggle, luckily I…

Of course you should contribute, the food/gas/electric/water bills will all increase with another person living with him so it's only fair that you pay your bit! I'm genuinely stumped as to why you would even ask this question. When my partner asked me to move in with him I insisted on paying my way from the get go, I'm…

I agree this is my primary reason for cutting out meat and cutting right back on dairy! Thanks for all your tips, advice and links guys I really appreciate it! I have felt very much alone in doing this and the butt of all jokes so it's great to speak to others who are on this journey! I guess a lot of it is trial and error…

No I've not tried Quorn until now, I definitely think that that is causing the headaches and IBS worsening. Can you get access to a dietitian through the NHS? It was never offered as an option to me on my numerous trips to the doctors. If so then I would definitely be interested in seeing one!

Because I love animals and no longer want to eat them.

Funnily enough the only time my IBS stayed under wraps was when I was eating a low carb, high meat diet, however I really want to try to make vegan work for me due to my love of animals (I have had my eyes opened) and the long term health benefits. This is only my fourth day so I'm still learning what foods to eat and what…

My fat and Carbs are a lot higher then usual and my protein is lower then usual, although today I am pretty much on par with the recommended amount :) Yes so much to learn and play around with. Beans and lentils not good for my IBS...very windy much to the disgust of my other half! Sweet potatoes is a good shout I never…

I have been on and off MFP for a while and not really struggled with 1,200 calories until I cut meat out. Hoping to go raw vegan at some point but for now I am eating the meat alternatives until I have learnt more about what foods to include, recipes etc. As a huge meat eater this was a big step for me to cut it out so in…

In the 3 days I have been on it I had had oats with almond milk and fruit for breakfast. Lunch has been jacket potato and beans or vegetable soup (which I later learnt has cream in it so fail on that!) Dinner have been meat substitutes so quorn chilli, Linda Macartney sausages and tonight I am trying the Quorn steak with a…

This is great thank you!

You literally have nothing to worry about. I'm a UK size 10 and I suffer with bloat so badly I can't see my toes. Seriously I get stopped and asked when I am due because I literally look pregnant. I agree with what someone said, you may have some body issues

Me! I'm so nesh whether I'm fatter or thinner it literally makes no difference. It's 16 degrees outside and I'm sat in my pj's with a dressing gown, hot water bottle and the heating on. I'll be sweating my jugs off soon then cold again later. I don't seem to have a normal temperature

I battled with this one trying to do both - don't put yourself through it it's horrendous! Eventually I went onto nicotine replacement therapy (patches and then lozenges) whilst dieting so I could manage both. I didn't gain any extra weight and have been smoke free for 2 years now! It's tempting to lose weight first but…

Salads, omelettes, smoothies. I even made brownies with them once instead of margarine! My other half hates avocados so I didn't tell him and he didn't even notice

When I was at University I lived on a £10 food budget for the week, £5 even on some weeks! My staple foods were: Baked beans 30p a can (good source of iron & some protein) Jacket potatoes (50p for a pack of 4) A pack of 12 eggs A small block of cheese £1.50 (more protein & calcium) A pack of cook from frozen chicken…

That's amazing guys!!! I have so much admiration and respect for people who turn their lives around like this, it's one of the hardest (and longest) things to do in my experience so congrats

Yes I can relate to this. I've had a problem with food for years, from binging and purging to ending up in A&E after taking illegal diet pills. I found my problem with food stems from years of 'dieting' whereby I had an unhealthy attitude towards bad food leading to guilt and then more eating because I felt guilty and was…

I've just read this after my original reply so apologies! I get this I really do, I was stuck in an unhealthy mind set like this for years of bad days turning into bad weeks and so on - that's why I slowly gained weight in the first place. For me it's self sabotage and it's not only bad for the diet but mentally too I…
