Thanks all, I'll look into drinking a few more smoothies and milkshakes and juices. I actually enjoy them I don't know why I didn't think about the before. Dianne thanks for the list. Very helpful. And regards to everyone's suggestion to see the doctor, thanks. It's very difficult with my work schedule and budget. Plus I'm…

I was tempted once but it took that for me to realise I didn't want to be in the relationship I was in (he was mentally and emotionally abusive to me, I just couldn't see it until I met this other guy) So I ended it with the first guy, and two months later found myself in love with the second guy. We are still together.…

I find ginger a great remedy for bloating, I put fresh ginger and lemon slices with some boiling water, let infuse and drink either hot or cold, and it's delicious! Failing that.. Ginger beer!

I am exactly the same and have been also lacking in excercise for the same reasons. Myastyme has good advice thats what usually works for me, but try not to leave it too late as you use it being too dark as yet another excuse not to go out and get it done. (or I do anyways) or you could always try and squeese in an hour at…

Im in! I started it a few months ago but had to give in due to being so exhausted from work. Id love to give it a go again. and I give you all permission to kick my butt and force me to go for a jog even if I have just come home from work!

and double post, but oh well. I have been in the same situation, my dad leaving my mum and my mum blaming it on the woman he was with. Trust me, I know the stresses of having to have them all together for a big event. But heres something I've learned (again, I dont know the situation so sorry if im completely wrong) But…

This is your big day, not your mums! invite who you wish. If your mum loves you she will probaby be so happy for the day of the wedding she wont care. Also, Id sit her down and tell her in advance, if she objects then just tell her that its your day and if it stresses her out too much she can not come if she chooses (maybe…

I tried that once, years ago... I didnt even get half way through. And that was back when I ate like a horse, Now ID probably only make it a quarter of the way through.

That website is making me feel so ill... ... yet strangely hungry at the same time. Still, I bet none of those pictures are from UK, you just dont see food like that over here.. Thank god.

I have quite large calves but its all muscle baby! I think they are the only part of my entire body that isnt covered in an inch of flab! still means I cant usually wear boots though :cry:

Thanks all for encouragement :flowerforyou: I guess you are all right with the proportion thing, but still. fried eggs would make me sad! Im just a little dubious as someone I know has lost weight recently, and the ONLY place she lost weight was off her mammas! So proportionally she looks just... strange. its like looking…

Lols, yes I guess it could be called vanity, I'd prefer to think of it as "keeping my assets" I dont know, i guess Ive always had bigger breasts, and growing up its the only thing about my body i have been really happy with, Im just a bit worried that if they go i will lose all motivation and self confidence. Yes, I know…

of course you can healthily gain weight! gaining weight doesnt automatically lead to big ol cheeseburgers and sitting on your butt all day :tongue:

I love baked potatoes but it saddens me that tuna has not been mentioned yet! Its the best filling ever, just mix some tinned tuna with a little light mayo, and maybe some sweetcorn, and its amazing :heart: Coleslaw is another nice one that has yet to be mentioned!

Im 21 and also have a limited budget. You's be suprised that its not actually too diffecult. Excercise is free and everywhere if you know where to look. Go for walks, have a good spring clean, go swimming (ok, not free but cheap and great excercise) Fresh food is also a lot cheaper than processed, to buy some dried pasta,…

Lols, Changed!

awesome, This is just what as lot of people need! I would make a small change though, adding both baguels and baguettes/french sticks into the avoid section. and stick Pitta breads into the preffered section. Of course thats just me, youre the dietician :flowerforyou:

That may be where you are going wrong. If you are making your own food (as an example, lets say it cost 300 calories) and you are putting pre-packaged food into your diary, saying its 500 calories. By the end of the day youre hitting 1200 calories on MFP and being hungry because you havent actually eaten 1200, youve eaten…

Im not particularly enjoying the weather either. Im currently having to take like 5 showers a day... Im turning my shower temperature down to as low as it goes and its still not cold enough. I need a giant block of ice carved into the shape of an armchair.. that would be bliss. I didnt end up going out yesterday after all…

Id try reducing the amount of calories from snacks, but dont avoid them alltogether. If you can squeese in a little more excercise to allow yourself more calories throughout the day (dont forget, walking around sightseeing is also excercise :wink: ) Also, as you are on holiday, if you really want to keep on top of your…

Aww glad you had a great day wendytobin. Today looks as though its going to be a beautiful day like yesterday.. not mentioning the 90 minute embarrassment that people call football. (I mean, seriously? WTF happaned) May spend my afternoon cooking myself in the museum gardens.

Also, take note of your monthly cycle. Coming up to and while im on my TOM I cant lose a single lb, then once its finished i seem to drop 2 or 3 lbs to make up for the previous weeks..

Eeek, a man, runaway! haha, Im actually quite suprised to find people of the male variety in here, and even more so to not hear comments about how we are more manly than you etc etc.. sorry, I had it really bad from a very young age, and school taunts still carry with me now *grumble* anyways, back on track. My symptoms…

when Im in a rush to work and want something healthy I usually just prepare some crudites. Just cut up practically any raw veg you like into thick fingers and take along some hommous, cream cheese or sweet chilli sauce (or whatever you want for dipping) Its simple tasty, and fills you right up. I usually use carrots, sugar…

recently discovered this avocado recipe and I LOVE it, so i thought Id share. plus its so simple, not the healthiest of dishes with the bacon and all, but its my treat when I have it. (serves 2, or 1 if youre hungry and have spare calories hehe) Ingredients 1 avocado 2 slices bread juice of 1/2 lime pinch dried chilli…

woo, today looks set to be quite nice, I may just have a picnic in the museum gqardens. That is assuming I can have the motivation to leavee the bed once I get home, I usually like to enjoy doing "nothing" on my times off work, which are few and far between. I cant wait to get home now, my shift ends at 9:30am... nearly…

oh my, that sounded like a miracle untill the head hair thing, I could never do it, as Ive had pretty bad facial hair since i was 13 my hair became my "crutch" through school, Id grow it as long as possible and always have it hiding my face. Something that unfortunately is still with me now, I feel so uncomfortable having…

I am a strange person for I do not like sunday roasts. :noway: OKay, I DO like them, in the way that I love yorkshire puddings, I love roast potatoes/veg I love a good old bit of roast beef/chicken/whatever... but the problem is I dont like them all combined :huh: I just find the plate too overbearing, just looking at all…

4694 + 18 = 4712

I know what you mean lil missy. I had been stuck on 16 lbs for the last 3 weeks... but to my suprise this week I have dropped 2 lbs and not just 1 :drinker: I have also lost 7cms off my combined hips/waist :drinker: Had a chinese last night though, so I dont expect these results to be long lasting :embarassed: I did save…
