Use the whole egg. Eggs seldom adversely affect cholesterol levels. But please share the recipe for cauliflower crust!

I despair when I see listings like apples and chicken and the amount is 1 cup... how is that possible unless minced finely!!! And then you wonder why folk bemoan the fact they're not losing weight when they are probably under-estimating calories consumed and then over-estimating calories burned to boot. I know you can get…

Many years ago I was in a department store with my mum. We were looking for a gift for a friend's newborn baby and we had a slight disagreement on the colour of the garment we were looking for. I fancied this outfit which was predominately beige but with accents in pink and mother rebuked me that "you couldn't dress a baby…

When I started on MFP I didn't even own a set of bathroom scales and had no idea of how heavy I was apart for the obvious fact of my large, rotund shape. For the first few months I weighed myself weekly and recorded that weight once a week in MFP. Since the start of this year I've weighed myself daily and I record that…

That's the breaks when it come to parliamentary procedure. At least they've ruled out an expensive an inappropriate referendum which is the last thing Scotland needs. I do hope Scotland will lead the way in the UK and if that causes a schism in the Kirk then so be it.

No, we have two dogs and they are not even allowed upstairs. They were crated by their previous owner which is really handy as they travel so well and we have a boot-sized crate in our estate car which they love. We still have one individual crate downstairs although only our Westie still uses it. Our Schnauzer usually…

You also forgot to mention the need for a defibrillator to be on hand :laugh: I would kill to be as young and fit as Zuzka, but alas like most of my pals here on MFP, I'm middle-aged and over-weight. I do lots of cardio so I'm not as un-fit as I was this time last year, but I'd love to find some core strength exercises…

As I approach my 50s I'm now in the best shape I've been since my late early 30s. But just as the general population is ageing there must be an ever-growing number of middle-aged and elderly LGBT+ people in the world, yet we seem to be the forgotten people. It's as if it's only the young and beautiful people who are…

I'd never heard of MiO before and having googled it, I can see it's a "water enhancer" manufactured and distributed by Kraft. So essentially, it's no different from a cordial although it appears to come in unusual flavours and is sweetened by Sucralose. To the OP why is there a "REAL danger with Mio"? Just because it…

I've given up hating myself and feeling guilty if I eat too much chocolate. I just watch quantities and calories and enjoy life to the full. And what better motivation for exercise than a love of chocolate and cheese :tongue: :laugh:

I lost 60 lbs in 7 months and have been maintaining for the past 3-4 months. I still have another 30lbs to lose to hit ultimate goal.

Is that East-Anglian English or SE aka Esturian English? As Danish uses the glottal stop you'd think the Esturian English would be able to master Danish, but alas the struggle enough with their mother tongue :laugh: I actually love the way Danes speak English ... so distinct from Swedes or Norwegians... in fact it almost…

If you save it as an Excel spreadsheet you just need to fill in your weight in kg or lbs, the size of your pool and how many lengths you do in what time in mins and bingo!

I Sky+'d it last night but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I do like Michael Mosely's docs as they are usually backed by real science and not bro-science, anecdotes or pie-in-the-sky nonsense.

I love these threads...:laugh: Everybody who speaks has an accent. It is true that some accents are getting harder to place regionally than others, but usually there will be a vowel pitch or length, a fricative, a plausative or some variation to the speech pattern that will give some hint to where you were brought up. I'm…

I've always thought MFP's exercise database values for swimming are woefully inaccurate; it will give you a calorie burn that's about 40-50% inaccurate. I did some research and from the myriad of web calculators I found a formula that I believe provides a better guestimate based on your weight and lap times. I've created a…

If they're your biccies, you can have as many as you want. But at 59 Calories per biscuit, just remember how much exercise you need to do to work them off... :bigsmile:

Now that is unhealthy - you will hurt yourself! Why is it unhealthy to enjoy a burger and fries from time to time? It's all about balance and anything taken to excess is unhealthy... be that fast-food or coke or exercise or water.

Friends and acquaintances will always say you look younger... change your hairstyle, shave off or grow a beard, whatever... they always say you look younger and of course if you lose weight then you'll automatically shave 10-years off :wink: I have white hair and certainly when I was really fat I know that I looked about…

Thai is sooooo bizarre given how many times the US actively bids to host the Olympic Games. Going back to the OP.... McDonald's and Coca-Cola are probably the two biggest sponsors of any event and while I have certain moral objections to Ronald and his bunch of corproate numpties, I drink Diet Coke and Dr Pepper Zero…

As a polyglot who can speak/understand a number of European languages, I cannot imagine being monolingual or even wanting to being so. While there is no denying that countries need an "official" language some have more than one and in fact within Europe, only two countries are officially deemed monolingual: Iceland and…

I only really drink at the weekends, but I regularly have 3 or 4 half-pints of cyder and/or wine and I simply count the calories and that's that. Then again I don't obsess over carbs/sugars/fat etc I've lost 60lbs.... I don't think enjoying a drink has hindered my weightloss in any way shape or form.

As the other respondents have said, swimming is great cardio and also helps tone and shape as you do get resistance from the water which also supports you so it's great if you are prone to impact injuries. I disagree entirely with anyone who says it's not a good way to lose weight, although I would say that like anything…

I didn't realise MFP belonged to one country :huh: - there are just as many non-US citizens here :bigsmile: ... but then few nations have such an acute obesity crisis...:ohwell: The primary reason for obesity is simple: we consume more than we expend! It's not rocket science, however, if you are looking for a reason why we…

This is an old montage I put together after losing 50 lbs. I've since lost another 12 lbs, but have recently put on about 6 lbs so don't look much different now

I'd love to have a gym buddy to help me/encourage me to do strength training. I can't really get into it myself. Swimming & cycling are pretty much solo activities, although I can see where it'd be nice to go out for a bike ride with friends as long as there was a set destination and we didn't necessarily have to cycle as…

Hey ron, You and your other-half look terrific... well done to you both! Working together at losing weight and seeing such great results must be such a great feeling! Well done and you look so cute together :flowerforyou:

It's a personal choice. I refer to my husband mostly as my husband, but in blogs and online he's often referenced as the hubster and I'm his husbear. I'm not sure that I've never referred to him as my hubby, but if I did, it was certainly never meant in a condescending way. You may not always agree with another person's…

To be fair, I haven't really done anything special in June (except eat like a Trojan) so if it's a bit wobblier than last month then that's the explanation - not an excuse. I'm planning to cut the crap from next week - it's not going to be easy, but I'll have two weeks straight working from home, so swimming every weekday…
