Wait...wait.... no really wait..... Not only have you *heard* of Lincolnshire, you're actually *from* Lincolnshire?! Well my mind is officially blown. I had to draw maps to explain where the 'Shire was when I went to Uni in Birmingham....

Dude. Saw this on your wall. Your main issue with your diet and the one you should be focusing on right now is the calories. Hit your calorie goal. Carbs vs fat vs protein is something that is always going to be hottly contested around here. My housemate (who has a degree is dietetics) looks at my food diary and proclaims…

Good for you "suspecting" hogwash. If you eat 1200 calories and exercise 200 calories off you will need more nutrients than you did just eating 1200 calories to replace the ones lost when exercising and to help repair the body following exercise. You can slow a metabolism, you just won't notice any effects until you're…

Thats kinda unhelpful....

WOOO! to you. If I could figure out some kinda funny, cheering you on type picture/gif. I'd post it.

Brilliant!

Deleted - i disagreed with myself reading back!

Where do people do this? I've honestly never seen any posts that do this. Maybe i'm just not looking in the right places...

How is it being superior when stating a fact? Men have more muscle than women hence higher calorie needs. P.s. I'll be quiet now.

I have Twinings fuit flavoured green tea selection. If you're drinking fruity green tea you need to brew it for less than 2 minutes, like a minute is usually more than enough, otherwise it's too bitter for me.

Check to all 4 requirements. 1900 a day :) Friend request sent :)

That wasn't a quote from you, but from another poster. So no worries on that front. So essentially you want some kind of group counselling sessions? Have you thought about asking your Dr to refer you to a slimming class? You don't have to follow the diet plan but the group support involved might help, and most areas will…

Double post

I don't believe you are either. You already are doing it? And why does help have to provided by the health service? Again what are you asking them for? Yes you did At no point did I say it was as simple as eating less. I am aware of the issues people face, if you notice how much weight I have to lose, i'm going through…

That's an incredibly selfish attitude to have. I am also an UK citizen who pays taxes and for me the NHS is for when i'm sick or injured. Right now i'm fat, not sick. There's nothing making me fat apart from food. I can control my food through free resources such as this. Apart from general nutrional guidance for education…

Before anyone jumps on me, i've read the entire thread, I get it. And i'm not 'a hater', just a realist and my BMI started at over 40, so I get it. The NHS is here to provide general services to English residents (i'm only talking England here), you claim that the 'heavier people aren't a worthy investment' well actually…

Couple of threads on diet drinks today (and all days). I don't understand why people care? SURELY, for all those who stay away from the "evils" of cancer/fat/all disease causing fizzy goodness should encourage us guzzlers to drink more? Think about it, the more people drink coke, the more we die of cancer (or obesity or…

The only thing dangrous about the bottle of Coke Zero I just opened is how much it hurt my hand trying to get the lid off!

Thank you for the advice peeps. I never log my walking as exercise anywho I was just making sure I was right :)

They want to know the credentials of your doctor because she is offering advice that is WAY out of date. I'd personally like to know who your doctor is, where she practices AND more importantly when she wrote her books. She may have been super whizzy and up to date when she first qualified but has she been keeping up to…

My notebook with my to-do list which i'm clearly ignoring to browse this forum...

THIS. And if you bring me cake, i'll love you forever. Speshcially a decent victoria sponge, raspberry jam not strawberry. Cheers.

You didn't really say what issues she had... just that she had issues. Maybe she's just a little insecure after a 90lb weight loss? Maybe she still thinks herself as the 'fat girl'. Maybe she thinks she doesn't deserve a boyfriend who takes care of himself. Maybe this is making her act wierd.

No fellow yellow-bellies?! What?! Lincolnshire born (and sorta bred!)

I literally had no idea they sold egg bits not in shells...

Irrelevant considering I said 'shot' not stabbed. I believe the implements for the two injuries are somewhat different...

Cake, food and tequila....or maybe tequila, cake and food. Either way i'm usually too sick to eat much the day after so it evens out :D

One of the few good things about being in the UK - the chances of me getting shot are quite low, so no need for a bulletproof layer! TBH I didn't think it was in any way celebratory, and it wouldn't encourage me to stay fat.

Olive spread for toast and olive oil for cooking. Can't stand the taste of unsalted butter.... "Butter is not chemicals. it's churned cream (and occasionally salt). " I love it when people say this. EVERYTHING is chemicals peeps.

Yeah, my craving for chocolate (and lotsa bread with butter!) has definately gone down since calorie counting. I I want it I figure out how to have it - kinda takes the fun outta being 'naughty'!
