The cat is back, thank you. I suspect he managed to scrounge an extra meal and space on a sofa from one of my neighbours.

Hello everyone Not having the best day. Eaten that which I ought not, and my cat is missing (these two things are definitely not related).

Is it a total eclipse for you? I actually went to France in 1999 to see one and it was unforgettable.

At home.

No one told me that I would start to taste things properly again. I've just eaten a salad with rocket, red pepper, cherry tomatoes and radishes in, and it was utterly delicious. Everything in it had such a strong, distinctive flavour.

@Dianedoessmiles1 I was ChicChantal on Sparkpeople, frillier name on here. My actual name is one dull syllable so I wanted something better. Call me LL for short.

Hello, would like to join a team please. I'm 62, love cats, live in England.

Lovely to see people here from Sparkpeople. I was on there several years, had a break and when I went back it was . . . gone. All my blogs gone, everything.

I'm in How many 5% Challenges have you done? I calculated when I started that I'd already done one, I'm now working my way through the second. What do you like to do for fun? Walks in the countryside. What major city do you live in or near? State? Exeter, in Devon, in England. What are you health/fitness goals for this…

I think you have to bear in mind that all eating plans rely on the user sticking to them. MFP is easier than most to keep to because it isn't extreme. It's sensible and makes you eat a balanced diet.

Some of my clothes are looser and I can fit into my favourite dark blue chinos again.

Reduce your carbs and make up the difference in protein. This has been more effective than any other eating plan I've tried. I'm not eating rice, pasta, potatoes, couscous, bread or sweets in any form, except maybe once or twice a week I will have a croissant or a bagel. The only carbs I eat daily are fruit and…

That is SO inspiring! I wonder, do people you haven't seen in a while recognise you?

I love his work, it's so atmospheric.

Restaurant meals will suddenly seem full of unnecessary fat and carbs and lacking in vegetables (except potatoes). Fruit salad has disappeared from menus - when did that happen?

My micro goal is getting down to 110 kilos. Just 0.2 kilos to do. After that, it's getting to 100 kilos. Be back in a while. . .

Have you tried eating them raw? I think most veggies are better raw, and they're better for you too. Not potatoes of course, but white cabbage, carrots, tenderstem broccolli.

Same here.

I can see the pie chart, what I can't see is any guidance about what the proportions should be.

Ah, I don't get that on the desktop site.

Lamb tagine, and I ate it with cannelini beans instead of bread or couscous. Recipe here https://www.theguardian.com/food/2019/mar/06/how-to-cook-the-perfect-lamb-tagine-felicity-cloake-recipe

I've got glass ones but they have plastic lids. Bought them online (Amazon I think). They are brilliant and so easy to wash.

Think I've found my people. I'm 61 and a friend was staying with me this week and she took a photo of me and . . . deary deary me. I was not happy about it. Anyway, May is the best month for new enterprises, so here I am.

I was on SP a few years ago and when I went back to restart . . . it had GONE!
