Can you turn to exercise as a means of working out your stress instead of eating? Long walks, getting aggression out on weight machines in the gym, even going into the kitchen and having a good dance instead of opening the fridge. Endorphins are good, and can come from exercise as well as food. Just try to make sure that…

Oh, one further post on the subject of people who pull out 'fat' as an insult when they can't think of another one to pull out... When I started seeing my partner, I visited a 'friend' who wanted the details... I showed her a picture, where he was using his laptop on the floor, propped up on his elbows. She immediately…

Can't believe how willfully rude some people can be! The worst I've had is when a colleague quietly and delightedly asked whether I was expecting. To be fair, I was having a bit of trouble with IBS at the time and was super bloated... and I discovered afterwards that she was going through IVF at the time so pregnancy was…

Face type diet.... All those home made oatcakes and disgusting green soup....ugh. And Slimming World made me feel so ill it was unreal.... Low fat diets do bad things to my digestive system... And I put on weight :frown: One of the shake diets, Celebrity Slim (I knowwwwww! :embarassed:) does actually work for me, though.…

If you do classes it's really going to depend on the instructor as well, to be fair. Some instructors are a lot more energetic than others, if you have an instructor who incorporates more slower tracks into the class then you're going to burn less calories than a class led by a firecracker, no matter how much you put into…

Been wondering the same thing. Had an agreement to borrow a friend's DVDs but she's giving it another try herself, so I'd be interested to know.

It gets easier as you go along, to be honest. When I first started, if I wanted macaroni cheese I would make it from scratch, fill it will lots of healthy veg like spinach, peas, tomatoes or any combination... but I'd end up making a huge amount, as though I'd made a normal sized portion and then used veg to make it…

I have the old-school Zumba DVDs... I go through stages, I'll be honest :laugh: I lost them for a while but recently found them again so it'd be great to join in with you guys and keep each other motivated!

Be careful with Lighter Life. I have friends who have done it and they almost all went on to develop gallbladder problems - severe pain, one removal, one getting removed next week. Check with a doctor if you start experiencing pain.

Seeing you're having soya yoghurts and such, are you avoiding dairy in particular?

I thought 'Pineapple!' before I even clicked on the thread :laugh: Canned is fine, but fresh gets annoying.

I'm at work so I can't post links to any image sets or youtube videos, but for anyone who doesn't know who Katie Hopkins is or whether she makes any sense whatsoever, please google the following phrase; "Your child is called India." Thank you!

My boyfriend is half-Japanese and he sometimes craves Japanese pickles really badly. We live in a rural area with little access to Japanese foods, so if we're elsewhere he always has to have a session in a restaurant with a triple portion of pickles lined up in a row in front of him. There's something about them, I think!

In to find out because I intended using one of those monthly and I'm just due my second turn on it :huh:

Had a double rodeo burger from Burger King for my dinner. Could have gone for a long rodeo with fries, wouldn't have fitted my calories. Stuck to a double rodeo, just as satisfied, and in the green on MFP. Win!

Damn, somebody else moved in on KT Tunstall already.... :laugh: I'll go with Just a Day by Feeder. Or Queen's Don't Stop me Now. Yep.

32F! And they were trying to put you in a 42B! I'm still going to be laughing next week! You know what the problem is, then - they don't go above a DDD cup. According to a bra measurement site, I'm an American 38E - I put my measurements in to their website.... got the following message: We're having trouble finding your…

That book I mentioned earlier, Sunset Song. I just looked up that scene, and she does actually knee him where it hurts and scratches his face up after he's kissed her. Again, this book was written in 1931. Just saying.

Point is, if this fantasy girl is a complete stranger you have no idea what's going to happen. You're not gambling with your potential outcome, you're gambling with some random girl's state of mind. There's this one book we studied in English when I was about 15. The main character is grabbed and kissed by a random…

My work colleague is about 8-10lbs heavier than me.... and 3-4 dress sizes bigger. It's because she carries all her weight around her middle, while I'm more hourglass shaped. She has skinny legs!
-
Meal planning is your saviour, to be honest. Even if you try out just one new 'skinny' dish every week, you'll find out what you like and don't like and will have a decent repertoire in no time. For last minute 'I don't know what I want to eat!' kind of days, there are two things I recommend having on hand... lots of…

Worked in a different office for a couple of weeks... covered back in my previous office for an afternoon and all three of them commented that I looked thinner since I'd last been in. After a rubbish week where I've not kept up to either diet or exercise, it was great to hear ^_^

Macaroni pie! Has to be topped with a layer of ketchup and heated in the microwave before eating.... unless it's fresh from the bakery!
-
I looked up that Northern Bootcamp, it looks really great! I'm in the north of Scotland so Devon would be a bit far but I don't mind a drive... Northumberland is definitely do-able. It's on my list!

I'm on the spectrum. I wasn't diagnosed until I was in my mid-twenties, but I can say without at doubt that although I wasn't diagnosed, high school was pretty damned awful. The socialization aspect was definitely the hardest... I studied hard and got good grades.. and I had good friends who looked out for me... but I…

Your WAIST!!! :happy: You look so great! Also, did you deliberately colour code the clothing?? When you reach goal weight, you'll only wear red? :bigsmile:

Taco salad, for no reason except I've been to Wendy's once in my life when on holiday visiting friends in Colorado and I had taco salad and went horseriding and just had a really great day. Nearly fell off the horse coz I'd never ridden a Western saddle before, but I had a really great day. Taco salad was part of that.…

Dammit, you just reminded me I got up and had a teaspoon of Nutella at midnight last night. I'd forgotten that. But yes, I find herbal tea is really great for sweet cravings. Most of the time. :tongue:
