Why would drinking coffee hinder your weight loss? Even with milk and sugar it can only be about 40 kc a cup. Now if you're drinking 10 cups a day and those are large ones, then maybe you need to think about cutting back.. although with that kind of caffeine boost you'll probably need to do it gently! :laugh: Any beverage…

I can only dream of having a body the likes of duharforstået, Acg67, Sidesteal, OhPiper, jpfost et al But I'm over 60 lbs lighter than the above, have lost the spare tyre and working on tightening the rest of it! :bigsmile:

I can understand your frustration... but wouldn't you be out of a JOB if everybody did their research and were 100% au fait with the methodology and practice. It is true that some folks just shouldn't be responsible for any animal because they are totally irresponsible, but I've been around animals all my life and still…

A lot is mind over matter. If you believe you will succeed, then success can but follow. And if not, drive up to Largs and go to Nardini's for a knickerbocker glory! :drinker:

Getting water in your pipes is not very conducive to mellifluous tones.

I was sent details of the swimfit site (www.swimming.org/myswimming/login) when I did my Swimathon and it's similar insofar as you can set challenges and view techniques. I think I probably need a swimming coach, because of two things: 1) I'm pants at watching a video and reproducing the actions, and 2) I cannot swim front…

I'll watch it later, when I can zap through it in 30mins cutting out ads and Anna Richardson's annoying recaps every 10mins.:grumble:

My mum and dad met in Dunoon as teenagers and I grew up on the Clyde Coast. I do remember the summers were terrific, but much too short. I also remember as a wee boy going on holiday in the middle of June - we were headed for Mull in our yacht and got stormbound on the west of Kintyre as it was force 9 gales, hail and…

It can be hard when you lose some weight and you start to feel good and then before you know it your treating yourself too much and not putting in the effort. Unfortunately, and you have to learn it the hard way sometimes, life's just a b*tch and if you are prone to overeating and gaining weight, then there's only one…

Without knowing that much about you, it would seem that you have found your natural plane - everybody has one where they seem to be able to maintain comfortably. However, if you are not logging your calories then the likelihood is that you are eating way more than you think you are, especially when you log your take-away…

Can never get enough middle-aged hairy guys... :bigsmile:

This is the view I grew up with: I don't live on the coast any more, but I do have a lovely view from my office window (sorry you need to open in a new tab to view the whole picture):

Zoë Harcombe was on the radio today and I've never heard such nonsense (well that's not true, a lot of it gets bandied around the message boards on an all too frequent basis). To dismiss the value of calorie-counting is silly and to claim you cannot (and yes she claims you cannot) lose weight while eating carbs is as much…

If you love cycling then as they say in Scotland, "On yer bike! Cycling, whether at a leisurely pace or velodrome speeds is great cardio exercise and if you want to know how good it is for weight loss, just look at the Dutch or the Danes. They like their beer and their pastries and doughnuts and sandwiches and yet most of…

I'm a Queen every day, but that's another story! I'd ask my fairy godmother to grant peace on earth and goodwill to all men :happy:

Why worry... have a little of what you fancy. It's only one meal and we all need to learn to adapt to real-world situations if we're going to lose weight and keep it off. But the previous suggests are all excellent too if you really want to try and keep on the straight and narrow. Good luck and Bon Appetit! :drinker:

As they say, it's the motion of the ocean not the size of the sea! :wink: It would seem, whether or not he's a stud muffin or hung like a horse, that he certainly has strong swimmers and/or has been (un)lucky to find particularly fecund women. I think the court should have imposed a vasectomy order on him when he stood…

I wish I knew too. I swim breaststroke and usually do 50 x 18m lengths in 27mins av. and recently completed a 5km swim (200 x 25m) in 2:44:16. I've seen another bloke at the gym (who's also a bit bigger build than me) swimming breaststroke and he's lapped me within a few lengths. I would like to be able to swim 5km in…

I want one of those... can you get them at IKEA?

For all the nay-sayers. the Cambridge Diet is a scientifically balanced meal-replacement VLC plan that is monitored by a sponsor and is preceded and followed up with a medical check. Unlike Atkins, Dukan and other such diets, it is not intended as a long-term plan, but rather as a kick-start for those who have a lot of…

You seem to have the right attitude and short-term VCL-diets can be useful to help you reach a specific short-term goal. I know a few people who have used the Cambridge Diet - some more successfully than others. If you're going on holiday and want to drop a dress size (or two) to look good on the beach (and you've no…

There were generally good tips but sprinkled with a bit of fanciful fairy dust Very true, but average weekly weight loss will depend on your calorie deficit against your TDEE (as well as personal circumstances) Walking is certainly an excellent way to exercise, especially if you are very heavy and perhaps also have issues…

This is what I found sad and possibly most offensive from the thread... I wonder who the so-called head bully is supposed to be? The other thing that gets me - and perhaps is a cultural thing (UK/EU vs USA) - but when someone says nohomo ... am I the only one to find this weird and slightly tacky?

Belt wise, I've had to punch a heck of a lot more holes lately - and seeing the notches on the leather from the buckle is mighty fine! :glasses: Indeed, I've noticed it certainly grows more often :laugh: and I've a lot more stamina nowadays to keep the engine revving :smokin:

58½lbs lighter now = 26.6kg loss... still a work in progress... I've been maintaining at current weight for a couple of months, but will probably work on losing the next 30 lbs during the summer.

Weeny Todd - Johnny Depp is a serial killer who dismembers anyone who makes fun of his manhood!

You've had a baby, lost 23 lbs and this is your first night out with the girls... seriously, why are you worrying about what you eat and drink. Just go out and enjoy yourself and don't give it a second thought. You're not going to suddenly balloon back to the old fat you overnight and you might even find that it gives you…

Will this thread ever end?

Has your friend confided in you that she's been advised by her physician to reduce her sodium intake? Has she asked for your advice? If there is NO to either question, then I wouldn't feel it's my place to offer advice as it might come over as pious and preachy. Sodium is not an enemy... it's an essential nutrient and for…

Mushroom & leek stroganoff sauté some chopped mushrooms and leeks in a pan, add a couple of heaped teaspoons of chicken stock granules and then add low-fat (1.5%) crème fraiche. 240kc per portion. Serve with rice and a mini-naan/pita bread. Enjoy!
