Welcome Chris and Cowboy and Ron and anyone else I might've missed. Hope you're all enjoying your fist exciting steps on MFP :bigsmile:

SPOILER - - - DON'T READ IF YOU WANT TO WATCH PROGRAMME FIRST I watched this last night and it was very interesting. I have seen similar programmes on TV about the effects of HFCS on our body (if consumed in high volumes which many morbidly obese people (in the USA) currently consume it in soft drinks, burgers, breads,…

It's called SUGAR Not a big fan of Doritos - prefer cheap salted nacho chips, warmed in the mircrowave with some grated cheese on top.

My 3 top tips for losing weight and keeping it off.... #1 find the foods you love and include them in a nutritionally balanced diet that works for you, eating when you want to or feel hungry and not necessarily just because you feel you have to. #2 find one or more forms of exercise that you actually enjoy doing and try…

Hi Sammy, You look stunning in your profile pic so if anyone calls you names it's obviously because they are insanely jealous of you beauty, your personality and good fortune. They say "... names will never hurt you" but they do, every bit if not more than being physically bullied. A bruise will heal, an insult will seed…

The thing with a lot of artificial sweeteners is that they are only artificial insofar as they are not sugar/sucrose. They are not necessarily bad for us in regular use. We have become creatures of convenience and too few of us take the time to source local produce, prepare it and cook with it. We also rely on a diet that…

Even during the War when food was rationed and out diet was supposedly at its healthiest in modern times, there were always folks who were incredibly well-fed and overweight, and it wasn't just amongst the more privileged upper-classes.

HFCS is generally not used in the UK and EU as a food additive. Refined sugar has been in our diets for at least a couple of hundred years, although there is no doubt that its use in modern food processing is excessive, even though the use of sweeteners such as aspartame, xylitol and sucralose is gaining in popularity if…

A couple of years on a visit to Edinburgh, Jem and I went on a tourist bus and when we were buying the tickets we were given a seniors discount. Neither or us corrected the ticket seller :laugh:

I think I prefer mitties. :bigsmile: to moobs :grumble: Sorry, I haven't a clue what's causing the pain, but if it's stabbing, it might be worth getting checked out. Could be muscular? Or perhaps you've torn a tendon? If you don't want to bother the doctor, ask a pharmacist... they often have a good understanding of…

Lower abdomen and tummy :grumble: ... and my MOOBS of course :angry: Otherwise I'm pretty happy on my weightloss. :happy:

I am of the school of IF IT FITS YOUR MACROS.... or in my case, just calories. I usually have some kind of confectionery, quite often an almond Magnum-style ice cream lolly as an after dinner treat. It's one of the things which drives me to exercise regularly is the knowledge I can eat and drink with impunity (as long as I…

I sometimes think ageing is 20% physical and 80% mental. I don't feel old, but I know I am middle aged. I'll be 50 in 2½ yrs time - which I know isn't that old - but I don't know whether or not I look my age. I know having lost weight, esp off my face, that I've been told I look younger, but then again, that's what…

Yes! I've worn my HRM (Polar FT4) for three hours while I was working (i.e. sitting at my lap top, getting up and going to the bathroom, going up and down stairs for drinks etc) on a number of occasions. I've also worn it going into work on the train when I've been sat motionless, half-asleep, and I've been able to…

I used to get something like this in my groin pits (where my legs meet my torso) and it was a sweat rash. You probably need to apply some corn starch or a topical cream like clotrimazole (yes I know it's also used for thrush but it works) And yes, find a top that's made of breathable fabric and a fresh top every time…

They've started selling high-protein ice cream in the UK too. http://www.wheyheyicecream.com

I eat what I want all the time. I just don't et it get out of hand like I used to. And if I'm going out for a meal, I certainly don't hold back. I have and savour every last delicious mouthful. But then again, I don't frequent burger bars or fast-food outlets - I love my nosh way too much!!! :tongue:

I don't think it's known for heavy industry. The only thing I remember being in Slough was the old Mars factory. It used to be on all the Mars bars, Marathons (before it became Snickers), Milky Ways etc. :tongue: I always thought Century 21 was based in Iver, Bucks. Coincidentally, their old publishing works became the…

What else can I suggest apart from swimming ... well my nickname around these parts is Billy the Fish:laugh: Seriously, I know you are a runner, dyed in the wool, and methinks recent events (and you know I'm not just talking about your stress injuries) have somehow convinced you otherwise. First things first: start…

Sorry, but being gay has nothing to do with our ability to reproduce. I know plenty of gay people who have biologically-related children. It's funny that it's ok to say, that's so gay! in a pejorative way and claim that it's got nothing to do with homosexuality, but if someone were to use the word black or jewish then that…

Aldi have some surprisingly good food. Their rice pudding pots are as delicious as Müller Rice; ditto their yoghurt. Their ice cream lollies are tastier than Magnums (and have more almonds on the coating!) I also love their Alpenmark Bavarian range of cold meats and the Wiener Schnitzel is remarkably low in cals for what…
