I have a glass of red wine every night to unwind. I always allow myself 180 calories for the evening, it's my daily reward for watching my cals and doing my exercise and it's not affected my weight loss or toning up at all so far (1 year) I'm sure if I cut out the wine I'd lose weight faster but to be honest, I'd probably…

pumpkin and sunflower seeds, unsweetened dried fruits (figs, dates, banana coins), canned beans of all varieties, tinned fish (anchovies, sardines, kippers etc for quick pasta dishes or weekend breakfast, garlic infused olive oil, cashew and peanuts dark chocolate

I was searching for Body Pump threads and found this. I wondered if the research I found online about it was correct. For my weight (approx 150lb) apparently I apparently burn around 348cals for a 50 minute class (NB. I would rather under estimate than over estimate cals burned, so I always subtract 10 mins for every class…

Savoury Pies and tarts. Of any variety. Anything with pastry, in fact. :bigsmile:

Not gonna be half as nice as bread but.....Ryvita/Rye bread/Rice cakes? Or what-free bread. Technically that's not bread-bread, plus it costs so bloody much that maybe you wont end up eating way too much of it in one go (at least that's how I see it) :grumble:

:laugh: :drinker:

I think she is beautiful, she does look like the wind could snap her in half unfortunately but maybe that's the way her body naturally is, maybe she hates being this thin (doubt that though!) Someone sent me this link this morning - quite entertaining:…

Thanks for sharing, been wanting to buy these for quite some time, couldnt believe how expensive they are though! How long did it take for them to arrive? Also - would you say that for the money you paid, it was worth it? And was a 200g portion filling and satisfying? Is one packet one portion or two? x

50 minutes body conditioning circuit class 50 minutes hatha and fitness yoga 20 mins cycling weds are my fave exercise day - always feel so good when i get home :heart:

:laugh: I do wierd things like that too to avoid high fat additions

:love: so glad someone tried it - hope you enjoyed the end product.

Let me know when you try it!

they look too good to be true!

Basically a creamy curried chicken. Usually used as a sandich filling or in a salad. All you need to make it "curried" is a bit of generic curry powder. (I use medium) To make it slightly sweeter and richer, mango chutney is added. To make it creamy, use normal Greek yoghurt.

Well my goal is set to 1200 cals per day to lose 0.5 lb per week.....say if I burn 400 cals in a day, my goal is then raised to 1600 but I might only end up eating around 1400 total, which means only a deficit of 200 cals. Still, that should result in slow steady weight loss and I believe it is working. I never eat less…

Oh YES! Bacon and maple are a winning combo - I'll have to do ham or chicken and honey with cottage cheese/low fat cheese + a fried egg white - I'm hungry just writing this...

sounds great, could you share your recipe please? :smile:

what's the recipe for them? i'm intrigued!

I'm going to make the original OP's ones but using wholemeal flour instead & then filling them with chicken breast and melted cottage cheese for dinner then a lemon and honey one for dessert, can't wait :love:

I've got about the same amount of eggs in my fridge, Razique...possibly more. :noway:

:laugh: this cracked me right up, thanks for making me laugh today!

I went to my 2 local(ish) Waitroses and neither of them supplied spag squash. I tried the neighbourhood green grocers and nada....:sad:

and me :drinker:

me - it;s so frustrating sometimes as loads of recipes people post have "fat free cheese" or mircale whip or fat free vanilla cream etc...we have nothing of the sort over here! :(

Loads of veg + lean meats - courgettes, red onion, peppers, leeks, spinach (with a bit of nutmeg & garlic yum), chicken breast, fine green beans, asparagus, fish - omlettes are so versatile, but mix and match all of the above (or use all ingredients at same time except tuna and chciken!) Saute the vegetables first till…

Thanks HPB, Did your friend try these exact vests? It's a KGB deal & pretty cheap. I already have Zaggora Hot Pants and an Everlast slimmer belt which I wear to spin class, body pump & whilst cycling long distance and it does ever so slightly help slim the waist and thighs down albeit only temporarily (it's just lost water…

Try punching air, fast but light/air boxing....that'll get the heart rate going! http://www.free-online-health.com/punch-up.htm

Duckie - I'm not really an expert on bikes, I just know how to ride them, but I do know my hybrid has 6 gears. Not sure about the whole back or front wheels thing, I'm afraid :blushing: I ride on pretty uneven terrain, grass, mud, hills, dirt tracks etc.. not just pavement routes (I'd say half and half) but I will…

Yeah I always cycle in the same gear - 5th.

Thaks Lucy - when I last measured them, they were half an inch smaller than a couple months before. I have always had shapely calves so it's not a big surprise that they'll be even more defined now I am more active. A couple I know commented on my quads recently saying they are looking really muscley (my thighs have…
