I often wonder what unicorn farts smell like

I think you have to look at yourself. You can't avoid your own body. And instead of thinking of your body negatively when you look at yourself, try to concentrate on the positive changes you're going to be making to get your body to a shape and size you're satisfied with. You're not going on a diet, you're changing your…

It depends on the woman. Some like, some don't, some don't care either way.

I would talk to your doctor. I'm T2 and have a diabetes nurse, dietitian and testing every 6 months. I would never go on any keto diet without medical advice or supervision. The medically supervised ketogenic diet is different from the standard ketos touted by diet peeps, and non diabetics can probably do those with…

I want to go zip lining. I once went down a 150 foot slide at a transport and aviation museum and it was brilliant. I would love to have the feeling of flying through the air across a massive gorge.

I hate how so many shows (especially the Marvel/DC ones) seem to always be filmed in semi darkness. I wish somebody would turn on the lights so I can actually see what's happening!

I'm on the same dose of levo and I used to use Valerian which was helpful, but I'd say do your research before taking any herbal remedy. I had a total thyroidectomy so I don't know if that makes a difference. I have also used hayfever tablets, the substance that makes you drowsy is the main ingredient used in Nytol. Again,…

If you're concerned it might be an idea to talk to your doctor or make an appointment with a dietitian, just to make sure everything's ok. You may start to see a dropping off or stabilisation of your weight loss as you get smaller.

Lol! I'm short and far, far from emaciated 😄 I do need to stay away from sat fats, though, as my HbA1c readings aren't yet at optimum level and I'm still at risk of heart attack/stroke in the next ten years. I find if I lose weight very slowly I can keep it off for years, so I just want to go slow and steady and not put…

Sorry for quoting everyone. I don't know how else to reply. Do I quote everyone's replies or just @ people in the reply box?

I can definitely up my proteins. Thankyou.

'Hm. You've given me lots to think about. Thankyou.

Hi. I'm using a digital scale to measure portions, and I add extra vegetables so they fill half my plate. I'm happy to lose 1lb a month, as long as I lose something. This is a lifelong change and there's no need to rush, especially if that means gaining it back again. I can eat a bit more full fat cheese but I do need to…

Thankyou for your suggestions. Muesli's fine as it's wholegrain, and whole milk is too rich for me. But ham slices are ok occasionally, and I can add unsalted nuts to my snacks and some olive oil to my salads. I will have more yogurt, too.

Hi, I joined mfp a couple of months ago. I have depression, don't post regularly and I don't expect or need constant contact with anyone. I may go days or months without posting. I understand that staying in contact is difficult for a lot of people, especially during episodes of mental ill health. I'm not sure how to add…

If you feel frustrated talking to your mum, do you think she would be open to reading a letter from you where you tell her that the more she tries to push food on you, the worse it makes things? That the more she threatens to drag you home, the more it makes you want to stay away? What will hurt you in the long run is your…

hi Carrie A140, I have T2 diabetes and am managing it with medication and diet. You seem to be in the euphoria phase which accompanies rapid weight loss. Please try to have some strategies in place in case you have to make adjustments, even for a short time. If you haven't already, maybe visit a diabetes website/forum and…

Hmm... scales. My scales give me different readings depending on where I place them in the room. I've been weighed at the doctor's three times, twice in the same week and got different readings. Another different reading at the dietitian's. So I guess you have to be weighed on the same scales every time, which I assume you…

Men lose weight faster because they typically have less fat than women, and the kind of fat women have around parts of their bodies (breasts, stomach) is different. Women need more fat in certain areas to protect our reproductive parts. You've lost 16lbs in 16-18 weeks; that's about a pound a week which is the recommended…

Go to My Diary, then tap on the little pie chart in the top corner, or tap on the food you've entered in breakfast, lunch etc and the nutrition values should come up.

Since you work out a lot, the gain might be due to you putting on muscle, which is denser than fat, so don't be discouraged :)

If you simmer sauerkraut for 20-30 minutes it will draw out the salt and taste more like normal cabbage, and you only need a small amount as it's more of a side. Eating too much pickled food can be bad for the tummy so I'd limit it to once a day. Do you need to do a keto diet or do you just want to cut down on carbs? Keto…

Hello. I came to a stunning realisation about three weeks ago: Nothing is off limits. The key is moderation. You can factor in a McDonald's meal once a year, once a month, once a week or once a day if you want, but if it was once a day you would just end up being disappointed in yourself and the cycle of feeling bad about…

Hello, I'm new here but I saw your post and $25/week is doable; I've done it and still use the tricks I learned. I would recommend making meals from leftovers, if you don't do that already. You can add leftover meat or veg to basic sauces and serve with pasta, rice, chickpeas, kidney beans etc. I use a basic tomato sauce:…
