Hi Everyone Thanks for the responses. Well my Mum was right! As a child I hated eating the skin but you soon get used to it (the key is to ensure that you take off all that fuzz/hair - the skin is not so bad after that - also chop off each end as well). For those that don't like the skin - cut your kiwi in half and eat it…

Hi from TCI Does anyone eat kiwi fruit with the skin on? Growing up in Australia my mother always made me eat the skin - said it was the most nutritious part of the fruit (hey this could be an old wives tale??) Yes, I know the skin is hairy but if you take a vege brush and scrub off the hair then it is not so bad. Looking…

Hi I think part of the problem is that we perhaps set a calorie intake lower than we can handle in the beginning. I have been on and off diets for quite some time, even slim fast! I started in November last year and in two weeks I shed a total of 7lbs then Christmas came and put back on three. I find that I am managing…

Is anybody out there following the Fertility Diet? Looking for support and good recipes inline with recommendations from the authors of the book. Having to get BMI down from 26.5 to an about 22/24 Sandy 44

DO YOU ADD YOUR VITAMINS INTO YOUR FOOD PLAN? SANDY44:happy:

HI I JUST COMPLETED MY FIRST WEEK - I HAVE LOST 4LBS AND I AM NOT OVERLY DOING THE EXERCISE - A GOOD POWER WALK OF 30 MINS BY DAYS A WEEK AND THEN WITH THE HOUSEWORK AND RUNNING AROUND - I WAS ONE THAT DID NO EXCERISE AND LOVE MY FOOD. I WOULD LOVE TO BE AT 150LBS FOR CHRISTMAS THEN AFTER THAT TRY TO GET TO MY 145. I NOW…

I AGREE - 1964 WAS A GREAT YEAR! LOOK AT ALL THE AMAZING PEOPLE IT PRODUCED - US!!:laugh:

TODAY IS BETTER - NOT SURE I WANT TO STICK WITH THE BEACH BODY DIET - JUST PREFER TO COUNT MY CALORIES - I CAN'T FACE COTTAGE CHEESE AND PINEAPPLE AT BREAKFAST NOR CAN I FACE TOFU FOR AN EVENING MEAL. IS IT WRONG TO PICK AND CHOOSE FOOD FROM VARIOUS DIETS IN ORDER TO MEET YOUR CALORIE GOAL INTAKE?? TEMPTED TO JOINT HE…

Congratulations. I have just introduced this site to my sister in Australia. You look fantastic!! Well done - what an inspiration to us "newies" As they say in Australia - you rock sheila!

BAD DAY - WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR DAY IS SO MANIC THAT YOU CAN'T FIT IN THE SNACKS AND THE MENU PLAN -- BREAKFAST WAS OKAY, LUNCH WAS SMOOTHIE AND THEN THIS AFTERNOON AT 5PM WAS A SMALL APPLE - JUST SAT DOWN TO A MEAL - NOT FATTENING BUT I DID SAVOUR THE 6OZ OF TENDERLOIN . BY THAT TIME MY BODY WAS CRAVING FOOD. IT IS THE…

THANKS GIVING WAS TOUGH - YES WENT OVER THE CALORIES BUT DON'T FEEL THAT I OVER DID IT --- YES ONE LESS GLASS OF WINE AND NOT HAVING A DESSERT WOULD HAVE HELPED AMAZING TO SEE THE AMOUNT OF CALORIES THAT STACK UP WHEN YOU START ENTERING IN WHAT YOU ATE THE NIGHT BEFORE --- YIKES! TODAY BACK ON TRACK - NOW HAVE A CLEAR IDEA…

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT. ONLY DAY 3 BUT WE ARE NOT STRUGGLING - THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WILL BE WHEN MY CYCLE STARTS THAT IS WHEN I REALLY STRUGGLE FIRST WEIGH IN IS NEXT WEEK - FINGERS CROSSED - EVEN IF I HAVE NOT LOST I AM NOT UPSET - THE DAILY EXERCISE AND HEALTHY EATING HAS JUST GIVEN ME A BOOST OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS -…

I loved the food calorie log - wow it makes…
