Been making it for a while I'm in Scotland not a warm place and I find 12 hours in the fridge followed by 12 hours in the kitchen is ideal. don't allow it to sit in sunlight I keep it in the shady end of the kitchen. If left longer to separate it makes whey ( which can be used in making scones or overnight soaked grains…

Hi I am 20 miles west of Dundee :smile:

Love it, no matter your fitness level or age you can burn calories in an enjoyable fun way it keeps me motivated and I miss it when I cannot go :)

I gained 3 lb last week for no apparent reason and put it down to water storage in muscle as I am getting back into exercise after a knee injury in November. I'm 12lb up on my lowest and its taking some shifting. I don't do weights or the gym but I am currently trying short high intensity workouts. Just stick in there and…

I like both Jessica Smith and Tiffany Rothe workouts on you tube and walk a mile in 20mins they all get you moving and every little helps :)

Happy New Year to you I've only been off loggin for a week and has the weight pilled on. I live too far away for the gym but have a couple of tips that may help you. first the 80/20 rule the 20 % are your indulgences ie a piece of dark chocolate in the evening and other less than healthy foods, desserts etc. secondly you…

I'm currently 141 lb but got down to 132 lb 17months ago but didn't manage to maintain it put it on every vacation and then struggle to loose it my profile photo is at that weight. will start again seriously in the new year as I've been struggling exercising with a knee injury. I think it also depends on your build I…

Taste everything eat nothing in other words limit the high calorie foods to sample sizes and eat plenty of the healthy foods. Don't stress about it just give it your best shot .

sounds awesome may try it with some substitute for almond milk

don't worry over daily bur look at the long picture I frequently spike well over but try to keep weekly where I want it to be thee is an excellent weight log (hacker diet online) wher if you are like me and weigh daily will show you that you are actually losing or gaining. It also helps to keep your metabolism keyed up if…

enjoyed this thread and yes I enjoy a protein shake or mixed into yogurt when I need more protein was introduced to it 2 years ago and I'm no longer a 60+ couch potato !

piece of fruit plain yogurt or a protein snack bar will help you feel full for longer

If this is a lifestyle change it has to be something you can live with permanently, I need to exercise to be able to have a healthy sustainable diet 80% healthy 20% indulgence (whatever takes your fancy). Exercise also improves your health, fitness and makes you feel good. Choose something you know you can live with for…

Bump will read later (every little helps)

well said low fat foods tend to be loaded with sugars and other unhealthy items, a good balance of whole foods as long as it is within your limit

Bump for later

Agree detox is not healthy on the other side I drink aloe Vera juice daily 15 mls, it's full of vitamins and minerals I have also recently started drinking kefir full of probiotics both these are natural and will help with any digestion issues google for further info.

bump must try

I'm coming up 65 in a few months, I have lost almost 40 lbs in 12 months and never thought it possible. I started walking then found zumba (love it) also have done other exercises that I can fit into my lifestyle and I try to eat 80% healthy and 20% indulgences. I also changed my profile to 40% carbs and 30% fat and…

Stop looking at it as a diet its a lifestyle change, so adapt your diet to 80 % healthy and 20 % indulgences. I eat chocolate almost daily and I drink - mainly wine and I do try to have 3 days a week without. But this will help you keep to your plan and you will not feel deprived. In 12 months I have lost lmost 40 lb and I…

Hi I'm 64 too, in 12 months of my new lifestyle (this is not a diet) I have lost 40lb I'm now trying to maintain/ loose a few more lbs. Its getting harder the nearer to my goal and maintaining. can do cardio no problem but don't do weights.

I use a HRM mainly to make sure that I get my heart rate up to the fat burn and cardio areas, my zumba workouts burn less than half the calories expected but my walks where I do some step ups during the walk to up my heart rate burn a lot more. I do know that this has helped me I dont take into account any post calorie…

wow everyone is doing so well, I did over 60 mins zumba yesterday, have just had a nice lond walk and hope to zumba this afternoon, think I have only missed one day but did have a long walk and other exercise so viva la zumba!

Can relate there, my darling hubby is overweight, but now that I am almost at maintenance is very proud of me. I'm obsessive/compulsive because I spend so much time on MFP and same now I have a HRM (it really doesn't help) I have to be strong for me which is why I like MFP and my so supportive friends

fruit, carrot sticks and celery to nibble on and a protein bar cut into 8 pieces and stored in fridge... allow yourself 2 pieces and it tastes like candy but will give you a protein kick to stop the hunger pangs oh and drink water...if you still feel hungry go for a walk or do some exercises
