monkeybutter

Hi Bellasbum :) I have been doing this diet for about a week and am finding it helpful myself. My body doesn't accept excessive carbs very well and so I find that this method can be very effective for my body type. I have lost about 2kg in a week so far and am also having to keep myself off the scales as much as possible…

Mine was from a book called 'What it feels like to...' which had a personal account in it from a tourettes sufferer who rather than swearing, would blurt out random words and two of them that he would shout were 'monkey' and 'butter'. I just put the two together for an original name :)

Sultanas at the moment. Sometimes with a little cinnamon too.

PS. There is also a recipe not in the book but on her PPK website for a broccoli quiche made with tofu that's quite nice although you will have to enter the ingredients manually on here yourself, here's the link to it: http://www.theppk.com/2008/06/pot-luck-faux-pas-and-a-quiche/

I've just bought that off Amazon myself and have made a few dishes so far. My favourite so far is the arabian lentil and rice soup which is surprisingly filling and very tasty. I have just made the garlicky mushrooms and curly kale and that was nice although I probably should have had more patience when cooking the kale as…

That's great :) keep up the good work.

Congratulations!! :) Well done on your success. The weight you're at now is actually my goal for xmas xx

I have done just that recently. I was going so strong and suddenly, gone back to doing little and eating much. I have my original goal in mind to help motivate me and that is to not be overweight at xmas (again!). I pictured vividly in my mind how I would feel at that time having to wear the clothes that make me look least…

My bf has consumed far more than that on a daily basis for years and has found no undesirable side effects. 2 scoops per day is not really excessive at all if you are in reasonable health.

Sounds good :) My starting weight at 23/09/11 is 213lbs.

Thank you, this is just what I need to help motivate me for that christmas goal :) Starting weight: 213lbs halloween goal - (31/10/11): 204 goal for thanksgiving - (24/11/11): 196 goal for christmas - (25/12/11): 189 I'm going for the goal of 13 and a half stones or in metric that's 85.9kg. Sorry in advance about putting…

Hi, is there room for one more on here? I could really do with some support to lose weight in time for xmas.

I've just stopped and probably put on a few. I don't have the courage to look lol. I'm getting more into exercise though this week which will help a lot. It's a good feeling when you stop though, :)

I hope that this works out well for you :) what works for one won't work for all and I wish you all the best xx

I've just got an android phone and have recently discovered the barcode reading feature on the MFP application :) I totally agree with some of the previous people who have posted saying that they plan and log food in advance as this is such a good way of planning your food for the day and keeping you on track. Planning…

Just remember that what works well for one person may not work well for another. We're all different. Stick to what feels right for you.

I've found One Cal oil spray that's, well one calorie per spray is a great alternative to regular oil in cooking. Well done on stopping smoking btw :) the only drawback is the snacking! Banana chopped up into low fat yogurt is a nice snack that can be filling.
