I am newly diagnosed and my Dh is just releived I have a diagnosis as it answers questions over the years - I have often said I dont know how he lives with me - as I would have left me years ago - but his love has got me as far as I am now and today I should start medication - today I also start on a healthier me regime

I was told never to shave above the knee and I dont however I have very fine hairs and I NEVER shave - hate the feeling of stuffle I was or epilate and only when necessary

I am in the UK and for me the best replacement milk product is kara milk replacement with calcuim its based on coconut does not taste of coconut can be put into hot drinks and boiled without curdling and to me has no nasty after taste

I am really short of projects at the moment but I have been spinning yarn - keeps my fingers busy :) the last yarn I spun is an art yarn and I have added felted flowers into the yarn as it was spun - that will be used in a weaving project I have in mind might spin some yarn and do the elizabeth zimmermans baby surprise…

I was going to say goose - until I realised you meant as you ate it I have threatened the goose up the allotment with the word pate for me eating kettle crisps has to be the noisiest

I am going to try a yogalates one today for flexibility and strengthen the muscles I am hoping it is gentle enough to do with my dodgy joints

quorn do a range of chicken like products and a bacon substitute I dont know where you are but in the UK these are easily available through supermarkets tofu is soya based so stay clear of that I am a vegetarian and make a few veggie meals that seem to be liked by my meat eating friends one is a very simple dish based on…

The best I have found is Kara dairy free alternative - its based on coconut

nothing I use ad block plus and never get the annoying adverts

this never used to happen to me - but does now - I think it a positive sign that my diet is now not deficient in b vitamins

so so good my DH has always had his hair longer than mine

I take milk thistle as a liver support due to the medications I am on when one of my dogs went on certain meds I put him on milk thistle the vet said it was a good move and that they recommend it in some cases of liver deficiency as a cheap alternative to other meds they can offer dogs liver function was checked before and…

Not to me personally but to my friend she phoned me up one night at about 9pm and asked me if I could go and stay at hers her fan had turned itself on she turned it off the cooker hood in the kitchen was on - she hadnt used the cooker and there were noises so I went to stay at hers and we all slept in the one room I had…

wonderful so what are you going to tackle next :)

I have a friend who lost half her body weight since she has though and kept it off for 4 years her husband and children have all gotten bigger all three of her children the youngest being 7 are on the 98th percentile the middle child is on 100th that means out of all his peers he would be the biggest I have spoken to her…

that amount could be correct on NON exercise days - with MFP you are supposed to eat back any calories you earn from working out so on work out days you could be eating 1200 + workout calories I would eat as my PT has advised and see what the average calories a week is on MFP when you have added in the additional calories…

a great challenge for you I would join you but it would be cheating as I gave up fast food a couple of years ago :) good luck to you and all who join you

add me to the list of suffers do you know if your depression is situational if so do you know what triggered it - it gives you a place to start to work on it I am medicated and in counselling - due to having no family members to ask about my past (long story) my counsellor suggested a book to work with its called recovery…

I love mine and it was truly helping me back to health (I have heart damage) but it died and I cant afford another one - I have been made redundant if I could afford another it would be my first purchase I dont think you will be disappointed

I am in the same category as you so I am really pleased you posted this as I too would love some ideas to try to help overcome the damage I keep doing

I am a vegetarian and my DH is not I often cook something we can both use I might do a roasted veg casserole and when it is cooked that is fine for me - but he might have a chopped chicken breast with his or we might have something an mashed potatoes with veggies - he can have sausages and I might have a veggie option with…

I make bread and used to use a machine now I do it by hand and I do log the exercise - you try kneading bread for 20mins plus its a very good upper body work out (I batch make the bread so knead half the recipe at a time)

I try to do mine the day before after my last meal today I will log the planned food for tomorrow I find it much easier to keep to my planned foods if its already on 'paper'

I would love a rowing machine so I think you should parcel them up and meet me half way and let me use them and see if they actually work you wouldnt want to use them if you wont get results I really dont mind being a tester :):)

my doctor told me that after a week more fibre and extra water is not a good idea get a stool softener and take that it should help also my doctor told me strong brewed coffee will also help

I use quorn products regularly this week I have made a chilli I am vegetarian and Dh is not - using quorn means we can both eat the same meal my dh says that many of the quorn products are acceptable but they dont taste just like meat apparently they dont have the richness all I can say is try it - I did make a quorn…

I take vit B complex (I am a vegetarian) and D3 (I dont get enough sunlight) and vit E as it has blood thinning effects flax seed oil as vit E due to having clotting issues if I did not need them due to the reasons given I would take nothing at all a good healthy eating plan should give you all you need

when I was a smoker I could never eat breakfast now I like oats dairy free milk substitute and some fruit or scambled eggs and mushrooms dont have much different from that unless I am out and about early and then I have belvita breakfast biscuits as they are easy to eat on the run

its 8.20am here in the UK and I am still in bed and just considering if I want to get myself up to start the day

the other day I made bread by hand and not in the mixer - as in june I collapsed and was then on enforced bed rest and no activity for over a month and my fitness is still not back I did include that - have you made bread by hand lately - its not something most people do as part of their daily lives I really have concerns…
