and me I just sent you a friend request

when its my turn to take treats in to work I have to admit to taking in a fruit basket :) I get healthy snacks and others now think its a good idea so we now have a fruit basket once a week

When my daughters best friend got nearer to her target weight - a weight that was healthy she too found she started to restrict her food we encouraged her to join the gym with us - now living in a small village she could not get there without us and our car (reason we joined that gym) she started an exercise program and…

have you tried to send them a message to be honest I dont delete anyone I just think they might need a friend when they perhaps try again

I am so convinced I have answered this but the reply is not showing Kim firstly take your email addy off the board and never leave it on a message board - for your own safety friend me if you want I just started last week and am reading the beck diet solution not a diet but it helps you think in the right way and teaches…

kim take your email addy off the boards - just for your safey and friend me if you like I started in earnest this monday - I am reading a book called the beck diet solution its not a diet but a way of thinking that so far is really helping

oh me definitely I am a size 18 now but 20s might be more comfy if I am honest I have some beautiful clothes in all the sizes I need to get back to my wonderful size 10 good luck to us all I am sure we can do it especially those of us who have been there before

I think you need them not only are they full of healthful vits and minerals etc but they are often low cal and so you can fill your plate and your stomach for very little calories - I usually do half a plate of veg and I have a soft fruit for breakfast with cereal and yog have you tried smoothies with fruit if you have…

I split them in half and steam them lovely used as a bed for a fish fillet

I plan at night for the following day - sometimes for main meals I know in advance so plan when I know every evening I plan for the following day and try to stick with the plan on days I do this it works great on days I dont I find I want to graze more

use rice flour and soya margarine with sweetener stevia for choice or honey that with a few oats makes a delicious topping

the first step is like the others say to restrict fluids after about 7pm but also you much clean the toilet areas thoroughly cleaning them with cleaners and fresheners is not suffient you should use a biological washing powder or liquid that will break down the proteins so leaving no smell for the dog - dogs often go in…

low gi or gl diets are recommended for suffers of pcos

in the uk you can buy a salt substitute called losalt it is a potassium rather than sodium based seasoning my dh uses it but I cant use it :)

last year I made spiced coffee to give to friends - it went down very well take ground coffee and add spices eg ginger - cinammon and nutmeg mixed spice I made them up in pretty cellophane bags with ribbon

I think if you are at target you need to be really honest with yourself and ask if having a cheat meal - your words not mine - would lead to you getting back to your old habbits for now why not concentrate on healthy eating until you know how many calories you need and then occasionally have a less healthy food choice

I weigh daily but log weekly and I log on the same day each week if I were you I would log todays as that is your usual logging day and if you are right and retaining fluid look for a HUE loss next week

I dont have similar goals to you but I want to say well done on recognising what you want to do NOW and doing something about it how inspiration you will be to youngsters you know :)

you;ve lost 20lb in twelve weeks - I hope I am as successful as that - its a really good average per week just over 1.5lb I think you are doing fantastically well

what was your breakfast mine is often cereal fruit and yog I change my cereal to one with more fibre and less cals (really filling) I changed my fruit - banana or pineapple to red berries much lower in carbs and cals and I changed my yog to the same make fat free I lost nearly 200 cals with those changes

tescos do the diet shake powder and bars - their bars are the nicest ones I have ever found

using a cup is a volume measure so there is no actual conversion to weight as different items have a different mass american cup measures are easily available here in the uk local supermarket should have them

I am going to get a piece of jewellery I can wear EVERY DAY as a reminder of my journey and the fantastic achievement I did think of a clothing item but I want something to remind me forever

the number on the scales is not what other people see they see YOU they dont know the number on the scales - so dont even bother to check it

you can do it yourself (have help works better stand in socks against a wall and make sure you are standing straight put a book on your head touching the wall then draw a line on the wall close to and under the book that will be your height just the same as I used to do the kids my height can vary by an inch - if I have…

make you own and make them in bulk then freeze in portions that way you warm up just what you need for a meal no salt needs to be added at all

its a steriod that can reduce inflamation so making the body more comfortable often used in severe asthma can be used for arthritic pain can be used by those who have had transplants to help with rejection

that is great I have several pairs in my wardrobe that I love tried on one pair yesterday and measured the amount of gap in the zip - I will try them on at every 5lb lost until they fit it will be a fantastic nsv just as you have had today

I must say I have been very very lucky as so far not one person has criticised my food choices for which I am very thankful just continue your plan and eat what you want in moderation and show them you can do it and then at the end thank them for their support :):):)

I am in the UK and my non smoke 6 year anniversary will be on dec 27th I have just over 50lb to lose I am older than you I wish I had done it at your age :):)
