  • In 2/2.5lbs I'll be halfway to my goal. In 5lbs I'll be under 200 for the first time in about 5 years. 2nd time around doing this, I lost 100lbs in 2012 and kept it off until Covid hit and I lost my job, then piled it all back on. So I know I can do it but sheesh is it hard having to do it all over again!

  • +1 on meal prepping. Spend a few Saturdays/Sundays making big batches of a variety of freezable meals - chilli, curries, bolognase, tagine, soups, stews come to mind immediately.

  • If you're up to prepping a bit in advance I like to cook up about 200G of chickpeas (you can also use canned if you don't fancy cooking them from raw), season and keep in the fridge. I chuck those on top of my salads for protein. Also cottage cheese is excellent and super quick. Favourite dressing is a drizzle of a…

  • Nowhere near as exciting as all of the things I've seen so far on here but my local supermarket recently started stocking kohlrabi, cassava and plantains and I am so excited! I'd never tried kohlrabi before but it is amazing! Went through 2 bulbs(?) in about a week, sliced super thin and just eaten on its own. Delish!

  • Diagnosed in my late twenties. Mostly it was a huge sense of relief and "ohhh, so much makes sense now!". Obviously there's no real treatment for it, but it's helped me treat myself better if that makes sense. For example the two therapists who pushed me to resolve my "GAD" by "just going out there and socialising" were…
