  • I keep thinking nothing happening, but.. I have 2 pairs of trousers I have put tucks in the waistbands (just the elastic getting looser with age) 2 pairs that I used to be able to get into but cut me in half if I sit down that now I can now easily sit down in (they probaby streached in the wash) and my work reousers feel…
  • Tell me about it! I haven't even told them at work for this very reason- several around me are on a "health kick" and I am hearing all sorts of ridiculous diets that each of them should or should not be doing, how many times they are at the gym, how they haven't had a bottle of wine since Tuesday becasue they are going to…
  • Well its been a traumatic day (the whole week has been - well trying!) it started off well.. up fairly early for a Saturday, drag 3 bags of clutter downstairs for the charity shop. Notice that the boiler is flashing again... hmmmm and I know I heard it banging again...hmmm was only looked at on Thursday... Anyway, in the…
  • My go to snack at the moment are pre made supermarket onion bahjis. They are 80 to 110 cal each (depending on where you get them) tasty and seen to avert my chocolate craving. Seems to bensure something about this Indian food😊
  • My favorite gadget is my pastry blender- I hate rubbing in. Great for making low(er) calorie crumbles.
  • The only way I found was to click on your own name under your picture.
  • why is it that whatever target you set it takes forever to get that last pound shifted? I set myself a milestone target and will those last 16 ounces go? will they eckers! On the plus side just had a massive bowl of wall light icecream and a meringue nest for under 200 cals- very very yummy!
  • I too have over 100 to lose. I recommend the larger loser group novus linked to up there. They are really friendly
  • I Surprised myself over Christmas and New Year. I didn't really have the urge to dive into the choccies and biccies. The tin of favourite only Quality Street is still... unopened!!! Yes I know!!! Once the Christmas clutter is out of the way I can have the tin prominant and I will factor in 2 a day as a choccy treat (yes…
  • jacket potato with the day before's left over baked bean chili con carne---- yummyyyyy
  • Well this morning I hopped on the scales, and i had hit a new low. not quite what I hoped but a loss is a loss (especially after Christmas!) So a positive end to a trying year. 2020 is going to have several mountains to cross but I will deal with the as they crop up :) Happy New Year everyone!!!!
  • I was surprised I was not drawn to the choccies as much as I thought I would be. Yes I have a quality dtreet tin full of just my faves, but last year I rationed them to make them last. this year I will ration them and fit them into my plan. Saying that...Boxing day is not a good day to be weight in day- eeeep!!! scales…
  • I plan Christmas Eve to be around maintenance. We have a couple of boxes of Iceland buffer food and I am amazed at how low some of the items are- I have worked out I can have a plateful of 10 for around 300 cals - that cant be bad! I am lucky that i am not attracted to alcohol so drinks will still be very low cal. That…
  • I just need to say... Counting the votes from yesterday's general election is not good for the calorie count. It was a complete sugar fest! Chocolate instantly distributed on the table, then a free pick and mix sweet station, and a table of flapjacks/shortbread/minirolls etc. I know we were there until 4am and they need to…
  • It was a fun evening thanks. A bit of googling gave me an average for that type of meal. A duh momens later. Was trying to figure out the amount of fries. Found a couple measured in cups. Was thinking how many is a cup? Then realised theyou were actually served in a cup...duhhhhh lol. I think I did ok. No nasty shock on…
  • Lots Of Really Random Theories WKHYS
  • Today is going to be interesting. It will be the first time since I started this journey that I am going out for a meal. Team leader meeting this week is a Christmas meal. Its at a place which does not count the calories on the menu and as I can hardly whip out a set of scales (especially as I have not mentioned I am…
  • Hi Just found this group. I am 54 yr old, 5ft nowt and weight... nope too soon for that lol. I have a lot to lose- I look at charts with healthy weight and BMI and I and sure I will never ever get close to them but I still want to try and get rid of a lot. I am trying baby steps- one thing at a time. I am using MFP and…
  • Hi, I am a big girl and after many years of never being near a doctor have now got some issues so I now feel like a fixture and fitting (not good when you have a doctor phobia!) I am going to have a go and see what I can do. This app seems like it will be a big help. I am a fussy eater. I really don't like healthy food,…
