I had poutine when I was in Canada, seriously yum :smiley:

I work with a little Miss Know It All who constantly tells me how I should eat and it drives me nuts. She's so underweight it's not funny. I'd say she needs to gain at least 10 kg but is now doing the 5:2 diet, I have no idea why yet she'll make comments about the weighted amount of feta cheese in my salad at lunch time…

I didn't say it was tough, I asked how other people did it :smile:

I don't think they sell this here, I've never seen it and I'm very good friends with my local fruit and veggie shop.

What's yambean?

Big bowls of homemade tomato and quinoa soup or roast lamb with oven baked veggies. I adore winter food but have to be careful of it. I also crave salads

Good idea, I may try that. Thanks

I've created the recipe once and named it so I'll just keep using that, thanks all.

Because it still has kilojoules so of course I have to log it :)

I can't stand avocado but I was wondering should I force myself to eat it for it's supposed good benefits or just find something else?

I don't use dressing, just a bit of lemon juice (which I do count)

I've done that but I still only guess how much lettuce, cucumber etc is in the salad. I don't weigh every single ingredient.

Dieting is miserable don't see what it matters if it's fast or slow

4,184 kJ IS 1000 calories, I've already worked it out on a converter. I just don't see the point of eating just because MFP tells me too. If I'm not hungry why bother? That is what got me looking like a beached whale in the first place. I need to train myself to eat less than what I do.

If you're full why bother eating just for the sake of it? I try to stay well below my goal as eating way too much is how I got fat in the first place. If you're full on lower calories that's great.

Well I'd turn around and tell her she's a very rude little girl, she's clearly old enough to have been taught manners

My reply to this damn rude question has always been "I'd rather be fat than pregnant" that always shut them up, nearly all the time it was mothers who would ask. Rude cows

Yum Ham on the bone

Good on you!!! I've also been told since I was a teenager that I'd change my mind about not wanting kids. I was steralised at 23 and have never regretted it.

Muscles and fit but not a gym junkie, (they are too boring, their diet too restrictive and probably jacked on steroids) IMHO. I like tall guys, around 6 foot, with broad shoulders and big hands, oh yes and a gorgeous butt (a motorbike doesn't hurt either) :wink:

I was stabbed 18 times I write smutty fan fiction for various fandoms I hate vegemite (a criminal offense for an Aussie)

What is this "sex" you speak of? ;)

Greetings from Sydney Australia, I only got my fitbit yesterday but really like it so far. https://www.fitbit.com/user/2TPMNH

Now you have a starting point and know how much you have to lose . You'll do it

Greetings from Sydney Australia, My reasons for losing weight are pure vanity, I want a boyfriend, it's been 8 years since I last had one and I really miss the physicality of having a partner, not just the sex (although I sure miss that) but holding hands and cuddling. I also want to be able to by sexy clothes, wear a…

Weight Watchers, like MFP does work but you have to be 100% honest with yourself with your tracking. Guessing food values is not good enough, as others have said get a good set of food scales, I find digital are the best and weigh everything. I weight all my meat/ fish/ chicken before I freeze it so I know exactly what it…

I love watermelon but I could not eat it for 6 days :(

Thanks so much for the laughs guys, I've been sitting in the office chuckling away to myself (thankfully no one else is here) and agreeing with all of you. I loved Weight Watchers, I lost over 18 kg on it but I can't afford it right now, at least MFP is free. I tried some revolting soup diet that is only supposed to be…
