Thanks <3 But its actually not as hard as you would believe. I'm a support worker for adults with learning difficulties. and its not a waking night so there is a bed in the office. I get to sleep when the person I am supporting does, Im just here in case they need me in the night. Its a pretty awesome job. Most days all…

Unfortunately that was my tea :cry: I have awkward shifts. this is one of the shorter ones but started at 4 this afternoon and finishes at 9am tomorrow. Also being the clutz I am I have forgotten to bring breakfast. Ill have to get something from the shop across the road in the morning. Hopefully hey do something nice that…

Even with taking the pill my periods seem to come and go as they please, usually being a week or two late and lasting way longer than a week. Its really annoying.

Its not rainy over in York. but it keeps threatening. Darn clouds. At last I'm at work l weekend so hopefully its nice again when I am off. I'm also very sad. I made myself a chicken salad for tea at work, and used a new dressing recipe. its god awful and now my salad is practically inedible. Bleurgh. Thankfully I scoffed…

Awesome! I used to have the same mentality of having to eat eerything. I can now happily leave half a plate and finish it off later. IF you stick the other half in a dogy bag or something and have it later. then thats 2 meals for £3 each! yes. im a tightwad :P

Get a custom t-shirt that says "hairy bald men?.. no thanks"

Why... WHY does my local sainsburys have to start doing sushi now? All the times ive craved it in the past its not been there.. now im on a diet and trying to limit my carbs.. sushi pops up! along with a lot more tasty but forbidden treats. Sainsburys is the diet devil in disguise!

If you made better choices than you would have a week ago. thats something to be proud of! Just as with most things there is a learning curve with trying to improve your health and lifestyle. Keep at it and soon enough you will get into the habit of checking the nutritional info on food before you even buy it. then its…

Dont force yourself to eat if you're not hungry. try waiting a few hours and then having something SMALL if you do get hungry later. of course it wouldhave been better to not over indulge in the first place, but you know that :tongue: I usually find burger places do mushroom burgers for the vegetarian meal. ty that next…

LOTS of water! I know its a pretty generic answer but if i didn drink as much as I do I would have broken my diet several times by now.

I also have PCOS and my body temperature can fluctuate wildly at times. dont knowif it is related though.

wow.. thanks. though i dont know how healthy it can be o limit your fruits to such a small amount

Thats much easier here in the UK as corn syrup is illegal :P my main problems are fruits.. yes I know theyre healthy sugars but theyre sugars nontheless =C

I think you should keep your options open and talk to everyone, but a single close buddy is great! Ive also been looking fo a 1-2-1 buddy but im terribl at checking e-mails >.<

yes that very upsetting. but just remember you CAN work hard and lose the weight again. what you CAN'T do is have that holiday again. Good memories will last a lifetime, and we all need more good memories! hope you had an amazing holiday and cling to the good times and smiles it bought with it! . Sorry I cant give more…

go on the food database, search for the food and theres a big green button saying "edit" or if you are in your food diary, search for the food, and above where you specify your serving size is a lik saying "nutritional info". It will ask you info is correct. click "no" then click "edit"

Remember its all member submitted stuff so some of it will be innaccurate. If its wrong you could always edit it. Ive had to edit a few things so far, thats why I always keep empty packets/containers untill I log them here to give them a quick double check. Also if theres lots of member confirmations it will be highly…

Carrie, we can hit double figures together next week, woo for us :laugh: at work again.. and hungry again :grumble: I think this place just depresses me into gorge mode! But I shall stick with my water and battle my stomach and hopefully get through the night without trying to eat the pillow. :brokenheart:

Im really trying to cut down on sugars especially at the moment. not doing amazingy well. but getting gradually better. Damn fruit and its tempting sweetness.

Lols. The birth control pill will help with regulating your period, if you have problems with that. I know that If i stop taking the pill I stop having periods... period (hehe, see what I did there) Metformin is a drug for diabetes, and not all doctors are aware of its use for PCOS. I know when I changed doctors and asked…

ah, at work and huuuungry! If only stationary was edible =/

Thats my main problem, when I hit that plateau I lose motivation. leading to me yo-yoing on and off diets all the time. Im determined to stick with it this time though! I wish I could just kick PCOS right in th butt!

WIth PCOS you need to lower your carbs and sugars. Preferably sticking to a Low GI diet! Thats what helps me lose weight more than anything. ITs also the diet recommended by my Dietician that I was referred to when I was diagnosed with PCOS.

I know how yuo fel. My boyfriend wont eat anything he deems as "healthy" So I usually end up having to cook two seperate meals to kep us both happy.

wow, thats amazing. I have to cook two different foods at each meal time because my boyfriend refuses to eat anything remotely healthy =/

IF im off work I usually come on for a short while after each meal to log everything in so I can see where I am and start planning next meal knowing how many calories I have left etc. I cant plan everything a day ahead because I never know what I want. If im at work I tend to go on late at night when things are quiet and…

Thanks everyone for the kind words I wouldn't even know where to begin O.o

Today I have had about 40 pints of water. But thats due to trying to flush a urinay tract infection out of my system.... I never used to drink anything at all during the day, and as a result just one glass would have me running to the toilet several times, but since forcing 8 glasses a day down me I went crazy going back…

Good luck on the time out! Had a picnic today with the glorious weather. Thinking about maybe doing it again tomorrow if the sun is out. Managed to keep within my calories though, but i did skip breakfast. well, by skip I mean I woke up at 12pm and got stuff ready and went for picnic by 1:30. so meh. My protein is way in…
