I'm 5'4 :) Moderately active? Wow I have me pinned as sedentary :laugh: I had seen the scooby site but as I was unsure on how to class my lifestyle I thought I'd better ask. I have to have low fat with my heart issues, I just watch the labels on those for sugar content. I have tried different foods to up the calories…

:smile:

:flowerforyou: thank you honey x I wasn't a VLC dieter, that was how I lived. My mum was an alcoholic so there was never food in the house - the only meal I got as a child was a school dinner. As I got older it switched from just eating lunch to just eating dinner. As an adult I lived on caffeine, nicotine and…

I do that too My weight loss is an incredibly slow journey and most of my MFP friends have now stopped logging :frown: My MFP is a very lonely place so I would be chuffed to little mint balls if I got some new friends :flowerforyou:

I have one of those too :bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: Thank you Third time lucky for me. Smell & taste regenerating so perhaps. Dont know why it would be in the house though as we have just moved in, previous people were non smokers too. One of lifes little mysteries :smile:

I have the smoke smell too :noway: I thought it was because I had stopped smoking - driving me potty and I am now experiencing cigarette cravings for the first time in months :frown:

Problem is we live in a very small town miles from anywhere - I will be asking if they have a well woman clinic or a doctor more empathic Good job I didnt see her last week - I would have been escorted from the property :blushing:

Well I was dismissed by the doctor. Apparently I have depression and should be on anti depressants. She did not listen to a word I said. She has however asked for a blood test to check my thyroid and despite me saying how miserable the food diary thing has made me has asked me to keep a food diary. Felt like telling her to…

I have been to the local alternative therapies centre today to see about homoeopathy. Has anyone tried it?

I walk everyday, twice a day, regardless of the weather. I do need to feel better as this is no fun for any of us. Hard to explain to hubby what is happening to his wife when I dont know myself - I sat with him tonight, wrapped in a big bear hug and that made me feel better. I am normally the 'glass is half full' kind of…

I have an appointment booked with a doctor for next week. Thank you for the hugs ladies. I do feel miserable and I really really shouldnt

Hi I am from near Lancaster, spend a lot of time in Cumbria :heart: Feel free to add me

I wear shockabsorbers. I get mine off eBay and they cost me around 1/2 RRP (£15.00) I am a G cup and they work wonders for me :)

Put a heart rate monitor on and go for a walk for an hour :smile:

Scales are for fishes :smile: especially at your size hon At my size I needed to get some as I have to monitor my loss/gain but as soon as I reach goal size they will be put in the loft. If you feel good and look good what will a change in numbers achieve? You have done it girly, be proud :flowerforyou:

Beef & mushroom burgers, beef & mango burgers, mince, spinach & ricotta canneloni, keema curry, lasagne, stuffed veg, baked pasta, ok I will stop now :wink:

If it is ok I would like to add you as a friend so I can see your diary. I was considering getting some complan and looking into gatorade. Fortunately I don't have a nut allergy but am concerned about fat - same with pepperami type things.

I want to climb Hellvellyn next New Years Day (2012).

That is exactly what happened with me! I thought all those hiking weekends and weeks would keep me in shape - how very wrong I was.

I will keep my eye on this as we go on hiking holidays - next one is planned for Christmas so I was beginning to look out for things I can eat. Frightens me now to think for years I actually ate less than normal when we were hiking :embarassed:

Be careful with young dogs - too much strain on joints now can bring issues later (especially for the lab). Ask your vet or the breeder you got the dog from. We have terriers and they are born running :laugh: but we don't take them on long walks (15 miles+) until they are over 12 months.

Feel free to add me too :) I am low on friends and always peeking at diaries to get some food ideas :heart:

What foods are you eating that are high?

I use mysupermarket.co.uk for our main shop. tells you which supermarket your items are cheaper at and also gives you healthy swaps For fresh fruit and veg I walk to our closest market or greengrocer for them every couple of days - gets the stuff fresher and burns calories at the same time. I do not buy it in bulk as it…

I have never been able to get boots to fit my calves - even when I was a size 10. I used to wear lace up boots rather than the pull on or zip up. Military style are in this year and there are loads of lace ups available. There are lots of sites that cater for larger calf sized boots if you google it too. I haven't got tree…

Not sure if you are in the UK but I have added quorn into my diet. I am working my way through the range but firm faves here now are the mince, escalopes, chicken type pieces and fillets They do make your botty burp an awful lot more than usual though :embarassed:

Depends on the flour but generally a cup of plain flour is around 125g. Lots of conversion sites if you google them - or you could do what I did years ago and buy some US cups :smile:

I think it depends on why you are doing it in the first place. Mine is for health reasons - being laid up in emergency with wires up the ying yang and being told you have had a heart attack is a real motivator. It scared the bejeezers out of me :sad: I went to my GP yesterday. After 4 weeks I have dropped my pulse rate,…

I was addicted to coca cola for 24 years. I dropped from normal to diet about 6 years ago. I heard about diet drinks causing sugar cravings for some people and tested it for 3 weeks to see if I was affected. After every can I made sure my next drink was a coffee with one sugar. I used to drink between 8-12 cans a day! I…
