Vegetarian for 25 years then went vegan in Novemeber. The first week I freaked and kept it really quiet from everybody until I knew how I felt about it. Now, nearly 5 months in I'm finding it pretty easy. I hate animal cruelty and I couldn't really avoid knowing in the end that the dairy industry and meat industry are…

I need some running pb's ideally. Would love a sub 3.45 marathon A 1.43 half marathon A 45 minute 10k A parkrun PB- sub 22 mins And get off the sugar rush train :wink:

I went for as date with a bloke that looked so good-on-paper, but when we met he was a bit blah. He wanted to hold my hand across the pub table :ohwell: , then kept talking about being a runner but he hadn't run coz of the UK weather (I am a UK runner and we barely have any days a year when it is not suitable to run if you…

Mirey, please feel free to do something with Life is the journey not the destination- I'm rubbish on computers :drinker: Just out for another soggy run in the rain (coz I can :laugh: )

I love this thread! ❤️???? I love positivity. ????❤️???? For a living I nurse dying children. The parents are always amazing and the kids are often gorgeous. Their life is soooo tough but they keep smiling and keep positive. It's my day off today so I could have sat around the house watching crap day time tv. It was…

Pamper yourself in a non stuffing face way. Can you chat with a friend, get a hug, take a walk or have bath or do your nails. I totally understand why you want to stuff your face but it won't make you feel better, only worse as guilt sucks. I look through the success stories when I need a boost of motivation. Best of luck…

My health and happiness. Healthy happy family and friends The memories and photos of my gorgeous cat who died last week The scales being back to my happy weight A gorgeous autumn in the UK

I forgot to add that I drink fizzy water. I really used to dislike it but have found with everything I always swore I disliked that within a few tries I can tolerate then end up liking it. I would drink a fair bit before I start my meal, then you can't fit quite as much food in. Remember its a life time of healthiness and…

Its certainly very tough keeping disciplined when eating out. I get into the mindset I can 'treat' myself as I'm eating out which isn't ideal if you have to do it daily! But when I am doing well I eat the side salad before starting on the main. I try to eye ball what's a decent portion before I start, then when I feel I…

Blackberries from my garden. They are fantastic this year. I have never had such a good year for them, it must be all our lovely warm weather we've had this year in the UK. It's been an amazing summer ❤☀????????????????????

Hey old friends!:flowerforyou: sorry I've not been around. Thanks for checking up on me Dewdrop. Basically if I'm being healthy I don't eat late but if I'm on a sugar binge I eat late into the evening, some times as I'm walking up the stairs to bed- awful habit!! I am just about at target weight again (I got there last…

I agree, today does look a little bleak from inside. But if you head outside it does look more summery. I just did a short run. I saw lambs, calfs, ducklings, the trees are all green, there are flowers everywhere, the stinging nettles are over grown (ouch ????), the birds are very busy tweeting and feeding their young. The…

I too went MIA in May even though I wasn't eating every evening, I still forgot to come on here. Hello again everyone :flowerforyou: So far it's Me 2 LNS 1

Hi, I'm just over 5ft 6 and am 132lbs but like to be about 3-5 lbs lighter than this

LNS 6 :grumble: Me 10. :laugh: For years I have logged my food, yet I can still really over eat, so since last Friday I am not logging. It may or may not work. I am going to try and stick with 3 healthy meals a day and try my best not to snack and to limit sugar. Any sugar makes me want more and more and more :ohwell:…

Me 7 LNS 2 I won't be logging for the next few days as we are away in Devon and there is no Internet. Have a great weekend everyone :drinker:

Me 4 LNS 2 ( on night shifts) Well done people :drinker:

LNS 5 - seriously slipping as the month ends :ohwell: Me 24 The last few days I have been way off where I should be. Too much sugar, white flour, cakes etc. and I totally forgot to log on Saturday so my mfp 185+ tally went back to 0 :sad: But this serves me right :laugh: and from today I pledge to you all, I am getting…

Wahoo Sophia, you have done great :drinker:

yes, I do, but not masses. I don't want to weigh a tonne before i start before my most recent marathon i ate a portion of tortellini pasta with veg and a tiny bit of pesto. And a pud (greek yogurt and berries). That was the night before. I certainly don't worry about it too much before. On the morning of the race at 6am i…

LNS 2 Me 23 Well my 100% has well dropped now ( well done Lucy, you are definitely winning :flowerforyou: , really inspiring) It was more eating on a night shift. Flapjacks this time :ohwell: But on the whole, I am doing well Well done guys :drinker:

I have been doing really well but I have eaten too much on a couple of my night shifts and not healthy stuff-loads of sugar. Last night I ate lots of mini flapjacks :ohwell: Oh well, today is a new day Good luck everyone :drinker:

Nearly 3 hours of walking today in glorious spring sunshine :glasses: :flowerforyou: It makes me so happy Me 22 LNS 1 (on a night shift :ohwell: :yawn: ) Well done everyone :drinker:

Hello ladies and gent :flowerforyou: Great to see you all still logging My perfect score for April has slipped slightly :ohwell: I worked night shift the last 3 nights and though I am quite capable of not eating between dinner at 7pm and my first bit of breakfast, normally a banana at 4 or 5 am, on one of my nights I ate a…
