Try drinking your first glass of water in the morning luke warm :frown: and I find that beetroot cooked and eaten without anything on it (vinegar) helps me:laugh:

Hi bobbie3223. I have always found that to take a hot lemon and honey drink :drinker: to bed at night and sweat it out is the best thing. Just put 1 Tablespoon of Honey in a mug add 1 Tablespoon of Lemon juice (freshly squeezed if possible) and top up with boiling water. If you feel like it add a teaspoon of good Whisky or…

:frown: :grumble: :blushing: ,sorry still feeling ill.

Hi to you all. I don't think many people realize just how many calories they consume :explode: in a day until they start listing them, I certainly did not. I have been very ill for the last week :grumble: :sad: and am finding it difficult to use up all my calories but still find that I have not lost any weight (water…

Just read this through for the third time and always find something that I did not take in the last time :wink: . (Suppose our brains only absorb what they need at the time). I think it is good idea to bump this up every now and again as I only found it after somebody else had bumped it up (4 weeks after I had joined).…

Well you got it on good authority, by DOCTOR'S ORDER'S :noway: we all knew it was a very good site anyway!!!!!!! :happy: . WELCOME :flowerforyou: AND GOOD LUCK.

Hi there NWCountryGal. I do not take my calories and excercise to the point of perfection because I will then become totally obsessed. To make this a lifestyle change is not about going to any extremes, it must be a little fun too if I do I feel that I will be setting myself up for failure. I log all my calories according…

One of the children that I keep house for had their's go through a whole washing cycle :noway: but once it had been left to dry it worked fine :happy: Good Luck.

Those Turkey Cupcakes look delicious :devil: , pity we dont celebrate Thanksgiving in England either, but I could make them for Christmas AND even have some if I have reached my goals:drinker: , thanks for the recipe.

Rather be pleased for those of us who only have those last few Pounds to…

I weigh myself every Monday morning after my morning abolutions and before breakfast, dressing and walking the dogs. I used to be tempted to do it more often but know I will get despondent: sad: if I do not see a drop in weight so the best for me is to weigh in weekly :wink: :smile: and know that because I have stuck to my…

MFP is teaching me to take control AND more importantly to KEEP control of what I eat ,how I eat it (slowly,enjoy ing my food and giving my stomach time to say ENOUGH already ) where and with whom I eat,:drinker: some people can have a negative approach to controlling calories by saying OH you can walk/excercise them off…

Sorry to have to say this but what a waste of your talent sitting behind a desk, in my opinion you should consider get ting back…

Hi michnthecity I know what it is like not being able to drop off to sleep and even worse ( I think) to wake up at 2.00/3.00am and not be able to get back to sleep for 2 or3 hours :sad: then having to wake up a few hours later feeling like "Death warmed up" and do a full days work.:yawn: I took a weekend course in "REIKI"…
