My husband first noticed my calves: I'd been cycling for about 3-4 weeks and he noticed that they were a lot more defined - gone the chunky stumps. Then my friends started to notice when my face started to get thinner around the 15-20 lbs mark. At work t wasn't really until the 40 lbs mark and I was more confident in…

While I've never appeared directly in front of the camera (as actor or interviewee), in 2001 I went to a live broadcast of a music show broadcast on BBC1* and later on I found myself in the Green Room with one of the artists who was being interviewed so was on screen for about 2-3mins. As I was wearing a very orange top…

Not sure why it would be rude and I'm not sure I find it that funny either.:ohwell: I've no idea what this product is, but suspect it is some kind of condiment?

I'd love to be able to swim freestyle (front crawl) properly. I can't get the breathing position right and then get to that panicky stage where I hold my breath and I know my kicks are all wrong and not coordinating with my arms and that's usually the point when I have to switch back to breaststroke or start coughing. I've…

I'm coming up to my 1st anniversary on MFP and can honestly say it's done wonders for me. Maybe I would have been able to lose all that weight on my own, but I need to track calories and have a much better understanding about how calorie-dense certain foods are as well as how to eat a balanced diet and still enjoy the…

FAB-U-LOUS! :flowerforyou:

Come on lads, make ron's day. He's already on my FL :bigsmile:

You can still buy them online but they are horrendously expensive. Reminds me of when I used to buy boxes of G&M's Cinnamon Toast Crunch from the import store at about 4 x the price of normal cereals. Then Nestlé started making them and thankfully although they've changed name a few times, they're still around and still as…

Fantastic achievement... kudos to you! You really do look like a completely different person and having lost 60lbs myself, I know how it feels to be that much lighter and how much effort it takes to keep that weight off! Well done you! :flowerforyou:

Grammer & Spelling were surely the Hollywood dream-team of the 90s that never was! :noway: I'm sure there was a pitch for Seattle 98102 that's lying unread in someone's drawer.

Sorry, I know each to their own, but this just sounds wrong :sick: My dad makes the best porridge ever: just plain porridge (rolled) oats, water, a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp of single malt whisky :drinker: Best served immediately with some Canadian maple syrup :tongue:

I had a pair of shoes I bought in my late 20s which became so tight when I put on weight, I ended up giving them away :cry: I also have a pair of black suede,winkle-picker ankle boots with a Cuban heel that were a killer to wear when I was well-over 200 lbs, even though they are a size bigger, but are now wearable, albeit…

Duo Penotti It's chocolate/vanilla hazelnut spread from the Netherlands. Tesco sold it for a while, then discontinued it, then started selling it again and now have stopped stocking it again :huh: Of course we now have Kraft Philadelphia with Cadbury's chocolate which is also very yummy!:tongue:

No, she is most definitely being rude. Looks like karma caught up with her the other day when she had to share with the seniors. :laugh: At our municipal pool, the pool has a slow, medium and fast lane as well as the lanes for the swimming club, which become free later on in the morning. It's circle swimming in all lanes…

Enjoy yourself!... if you're not enjoying your food and exercise then it's doomed to failure.

I met my husband online via Gaydar 5½ yrs ago, but had previously met my ex online (CompuServe) more than 11yrs prior, i.e. 16 years ago. As the Web's been around since early 1991 and CompuServe was around about the same time, I'm sure we weren't the first web-couple - we knew others too - but nowadays, I'd say it's…

Accurately recording calories is a must, which is why I despair when I see things like a chicken breast, 1 cup in the database, because you cannot accurately gauge the weight and therefore calorie content of solid food like chicken by volume. Portion sizes vary. Only today I tried a new cereal from Aldi (basically their…

I just did a google search and this appear to have been shown on Really which is one of the uktv family of channels (otherwise known as BBC Worldwide as they have primarily BBC and Thames/Freemantle content). It looks like it's going to be repeated on Saturday 7 July at 10pm 10 Things You Need To Know About Losing Weight…

It's very sad that in this day and age, there is still so much hatred and misunderstanding surrounding sexuality. It's not like you're a murderer or a psychopath - you just happen to have romantic feelings for both men and women. Your primary concern at the moment is for your own well-being and then that of your daughter.…

Not only that, but when you drink 10 pints, you also pee more. Usually after the 3rd pint and then at least once per pint (sometimes twice) so how many calories simply get pissed away? Of course, then you have to factor in the full-English fryup/Greggs sausage rolls the next day to soak up the pints - unless of course you…

Coronation Chicken salad :tongue:

C H O C O L A T E ... nuff said!:laugh:

Has anyone mentioned Babylon 5... gotta love a good story arc! I love Doctor Who and Star Trek as that's what I grew up with. New Who is the mutt's nuts. ST:TNG was brilliant as was Voyager (didn't really get into all of DS9 and Enterprise wasn't really given a fair chance) Startgate and SG:Atlantis were excellent too, but…

Negative calorie foods are like Unicorns... a figment of someone's imagination. I do like the idea of anything sautéed (fried in oil) comprising a net negative calorie count :noway: Similarly, some foods with under 5kc per portion are apparently allowed to market themselves as Zero cal foods - again, while fairly…

YES. The car park is probably run by the council or A.N.Other Ltd. on their behalf. As a rule, if there is a disabled bay, I will not park in it at any time, because you never know who genuinely might need it at any time of the day. At my gym, the staff park in the disabled bays (which I'm sure they probably only have to…

I think the safest thing is if we stop eating altogether. Then we won't have to worry about eating at the wrong times and getting fat. We'll just drink a gallon of water every hour on the hour and flush all the fat out of our bodies!

The fact that you are using language like "binging" tells me you have an irrational and unhealthy attitude to food and you need to break that cycle. You probably don't binge at all (sure you might eat a whole tub of ice cream or packet of crisps/chips) but binging would be an evening where you'd consume maybe 5-6000…

My best friend is like that - can't sleep unless in total silence. He always claims he's like the Princess in the Princess and the pea. Silence for me is an alien concept, because it never is (thanks to my tinnitus) :noway: Politics I get from various sources: BBC, news media online, the gay press (GT and Attitude, the…

Well it obviously weighs less than a pound of muscle... surely everyone knows that!!!! :noway:

If you think you are fat weighing 145lbs at 5' 6", then I think you might have body dysmorphia. Sure, you might not be as toned as you want to be, but if you are swaying regularly between 132-145 lbs then that seems fairly "normal" weight range for someone of your height and age. Of course I don't know you personally or…
