  • I’m in the uk and I don’t use pints at all. However, there’s no set way to specify pints on here. A lazy way is to say 550ml is a pint however the more accurate is 568ml, when you’re really honing in on the specifics of calories. If you really, really can’t be bothered to convert it or find a way around it. Just stop using…
  • I think the predominant issue is with seeing yourself as being on a diet as opposed to a new way of life. Effectively once your loss is achieved you return to a prior way of eating instead of eating in the reduced manner that lost the weight. It’s what a lot of people do and results in the constant loss and gain effect. I…
  • I make a habit of going to the website of the company or a supermarket so I can search for the items nutritional info, be it per portion for eating out or to cross reference accuracy against the database before logging it. As @AnnPT77 rightly says though, differing countries can have vastly different values for the same…
  • Coffee#1 nutritional information Latte semi skimmed milk regular = 84kcal Latte semi skimmed milk large = 96kcal Latte whole milk regular = 147kcal Latte whole milk large = 169kcal Guidance issued 6 April 2022
  • I have an autoimmune disease and am immunosuppressed in order to control it. I’m medically exempt from exercising because I have a separate condition whereby I’m severely allergic to exercise. I control my weight through diet alone. It takes longer and it can be more mentally draining because it feels like your life…
  • I take a drug called Topirimate (topamax), it’s not typically licensed as a product for weight loss though. It has some pretty nasty side effects and the weight loss benefit doesn’t outweigh them. I know it’s been mixed with something else and marketed as a magic pill to fight obesity, which has been licensed for use.
  • I’m predominantly a coffee drinker, however I like dandelion tea or the odd chamomile. I don’t add anything to tea drinks and only milk to coffee.

  • I can’t stand gravy, my husband and kids all love things like chips (fries) and gravy, whereas it just makes me feel sick. I only eat plain/ready salted flavoured crisps (chips) because I can’t stand the smell of others
  • Weigh how much panko is put in the cup in grams. Then weigh the contents after you’ve finished. The missing amount is what’s been used. Apply the same method to the butter or any other aspect to a recipe. Granted it will take slightly longer however it would give more accurate results
  • Erm, I normally only kill zombies in video games, I’m gonna have to rely on/hide behind you DW 😀
  • All three of my kids have been vaccinated. Aged 16,11 and 9. None of them had any issues at all of even side effects beyond achey arm
  • Some is better than none. I don’t exercise at all now and I wish I did

  • I’ve never upgraded and only use the free version. I’ve sent you a friend request
  • Hiya, I’m Kerrie, I’ve sent you a friend request, I’m in Leeds. I have an autoimmune condition so I know the joys of being on and off steroids and other meds for periods of time

  • Having enough patience not to quit. People don’t become overweight/obese overnight, don’t expect overnight results for losing weight
  • Mine is me However the amount of random spam profiles on here is crazy
  • Erm quite well to be honest, my goal isn’t to lose weight, just to maintain where I am. If I go up or down a few kgs it’s no big deal. How are you finding the beginning?
  • Hiya, I’m kerrie, I’m medically disqualified from exercise so I’m a diet only person. Good luck and just don’t stop on the hard days
  • Evening, I’ve sent a friend request, I’m in Leeds
  • I have autoimmune disease and have been immunosuppressed in order to control them for the past 5 years. I’m also allergic to exercise so I’m strictly diet only.
  • My kids are a bit older now so ranging between eldest nearly 17 and the youngest is nearly 10. I’ll make a family meal, something like a cottage pie/lasagne and divide the meal into 6 portions. I use the recipe creator on here to put in the amount for each of the ingredients and 6 portions. In all honesty though the more…
  • Hiya, I used to be stupidly fit and healthy like you. Nearly a decade ago now my immune system malfunctioned and it’s caused me a whole host of issues. One of which being an allergy to exercise, yep exercising could quite literally kill me. Over the course of several years different medications and treatments have resulted…
  • Roughly 2015/2016 time, this is my second account. Someone (not sure if friend or a random) attempted to hack my social media and like an idiot I had them all linked. So I wiped everything, took a three month break and started again, now to build back up my 1200 day plus streak 😩
  • Erm I think we have a couple of weeks back, if we have Hi again 😀 if not Hi 😀
  • Hiya I’m Kerrie, 34, also a stay at home mum, but my kids are a few years older than yours 16, 11 and 9. I’m stay at home since one of my kids is autistic and doesn’t sleep well so I tend to pull the night shift with them and sleep during the day. I’ll send you a friend request
  • Hiya, I’m south Leeds area
  • I’ve got another friend whose had the exact same issue, he’s recently joined and has had zero posts show up on his feed at all. He knows they’ve been posting because it shows on their individual page but his actual feed is blank
  • My gp’s (primary care doctors) have commented on my weight loss and asked how I’ve accomplished it and maintain it knowing I’m not able to exercise. They never had any comments or possible solutions when I broached my medical conditions and the subsequent weight gain it all causes.
