My absolute favourite dressing is a Thai satay (peanut/chilli)… the one I make has a lot of sodium and calories due to the peanuts, so if anyone has a low(er) sodium, low(er) calorie version, I would be eternally grateful! (I only use the sauce mix, usually made with 50g of coconut milk powder and 200ml water): I could…

Hi Maddie! Have you read through the Most Helpful Posts yet? These are an excellent resource and ones I often return to (especially the ‘guide to sexypants’!), with tips and great advice written by users past and present. The idea of a deficit is simple (burn more calories than you eat), but if it was that easy none of us…

My favourites are the hike/climb Expeditions… I have racked up quite a few of those, but I want to finish them ALL! I do a lot of hill walking on Saturdays (teaching children to ski at a local dry ski slope), and I set my Garmin to ‘Hike’ as it’s the most accurate way to describe what I’m doing (i.e. not much actual…

7/3: 1.04 miles ( Benchmark run - 1k PB!) 9/3: 2.39 miles (walk-run repeats) 11/3: 2 miles (walk-run repeats) 12/3: 1.9 miles (walk-run repeats) 17/3: 1.61 miles (walk-run repeats) 8.94/50 miles After my morning run on 11/3 I went for a long walk with hubby: after that I had a slightly sore left heel/arch but I thought it…

Scarily alike… the same slightly smaller left eye, and not one freckle, beauty spot, blemish, scar or wrinkle between them… like they rolled off some freaky conveyor belt, all smooth and perfect…

My current obsession is kiwi fruit with the skins ON. I blame my daughter, and the innocent message she sent me, asking if I knew that it was okay to eat the kiwi’s skin: she had actually tried one and reported it ‘was fine’. I said “Ewww!”. So I bought some, and ate one… and immediately ate another one. I love sour tastes…

I used to take one sugar in my coffee: I decided to give it up, and went cold turkey (rather than reducing slowly, or using a sweetener). My morning coffee was ruined for a LONG time. After the first two weeks it became just about bearable, so I stuck with it. Towards the end of the first month, someone accidentally gave…

Have we had this one yet? Is it me, or do these ladies look very AI generated? I eat a fairly Mediterranean diet. I took the ‘survey’ in the interests of research… from 75kg to 65kg (175lb to 143lb), and it gave me this: Their ‘no.diet diet’ predicts losing at an average rate of 1.25kg per week (2.75 lb). In contrast, my…

I can’t top the puppy photo - but I do have some shoe p0rn… a second pair of Saguaros!

Hi all! Signing up for 50 miles in March. I got in a few runs at the end of Feb, so I am only starting to get back into the swing of things. I need to consistently get out there 2/3 times a week… so I just decided to set up a Garmin Coach plan, as I found the plans quite motivating previously! I had good results with Coach…

Also not going to vote because the answer to the question is ‘Nope’, and ‘None of the above’ to the options. I lost at a rate of about 0.8lb for the first few months, decreasing to 0.4lb for months and 0.2lb-0.1lb as I approached my goal. It’s not a linear process so there were ups and downs along the way - it’s the…

Good for you! Welcome to MFP! Lots of great advice and help is now right at your fingertips. Do you have any specific goals yet? [I’ll be 53 soon, and I’m in better shape now than I have been in decades… yes, I wish I had started sooner but it’s NEVER too late to turn things around.]

Some goals are admirable and achievable, and some might not be so wise… It’s fine to set a goal if a) it isn’t too aggressive and unhealthy for your current weight (see excellent points from @ninerbuff) and b) you’re the type of person that thrives on a (publicly declared) personal challenge. However, do consider how you…

Quick post after catching up on all 4 pages of updates… wow, you people have been BUSY! Last week I was with my family at CenterParcs, and I got one proper 3-mile run in on the Monday morning: the rest of the week we were walking, swimming, playing badminton, indoor climbing, laser combat… and running beside the two…
