Excellent. Very sensible i reckon :wink:

Lauryn- Rock on! I'm not alone. I eat them too and love every minute of it. Dinner is the best meal of the day if you ask me! And funnily enough...you do look quite a bit like my sister! (music from twlight zone...) Gilly- Usually something quite heavy in carbs- I make lentil curry with rice, chicken risotto, jacket…

How many calories do people usually have left by dinner time? I work on 1300 basic per day and usually have about 800 by dinner. does this mean I;'m not eating regularly enough? I just dont get that hungry during the day. At night, however I could eat a cow (and a hippo).

Ah..a girl after my own heart:glasses:

I was just thinking oh thank God we dont have outback steakhouse in the UK as this removes all temptation... But I've checked and we have three in the whole country...one of which is just down the bloody road from my house! That knowledge may haunt me...

I'm going to have a curry.

Good stuff! Thanks guys. Dave- I've just checked and actually all I have in my cupboard are massive mugs..I reckon one of those ought to do as a 'cup' measure.. Only joking fitness fans.... :drinker: two cups

Everything seems to be measured in cups... what size cup? I have big cups and little cups :happy: Or am i being unbelievably dense.....?

I'll keep all your family in my thoughts and prayers:heart:

Excellent! Thanks, I'm off to H&B now!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

See above... I love popcorn but its driving me mad that I can only seem to find butterkist or popz. I really want to find some salted microwave popcorn thats not about 500 cals a bag! Thanks in advance for any tips! DJ x

Thanks guys! Hangover gone- did big work out today so feeling a bit more pious :-) :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I got a new job on Friday (hurrah!) and I thought- "Recession + New Job = Celebration!" Stayed within calories (Just) on food....but I swear I am never drinking again! Next morning I had hangover from hell AND the needle on the dial was reacting accordingly... I'm off to join the temperance society...:grumble: Just had to…

Earl Grey baby! So refreshing. If anyone is ever in the UK, go to Betty's tea rooms in York...they do the BEST afternoon High Tea.

Just read that last part over and it doesnt make sense at all...lack of sat fat is affecting brain....:tongue:

Sorry to hijack your thread..... but I know your pain (not about taco bell, we dont have them here) but I am completely craving big fat chips (fries) and mayonnaise.....:devil: But last week I had an uncontrollable craving for pork buns and that passed! Just use distraction, or better still try making a low fat version…

not the real deal but a very tasty sub!

Right! I'm off for a good old cycle followed by a spell on the treadmill! Thanks all :flowerforyou:

Light dawns on marble head

Thats great. Thanks guys! Really appreciate the responses. With cycling I'm going for endurance rather than resistance uphill etc. So if i understand correctly, i shouldnt end up with disproportionately big thigh muscles :smile: Thankyou! :flowerforyou:

Does running on treadmill and cycling on excercise bike build up your thigh muscles? I am desperate to lose weight from thighs and running and cycling are only things I enjoy... I really dont want muscle thighs either! Just wanted a bit of advice from someone more knowledgeable! Ta muchly :flowerforyou:

Low Fat Cottage Cheese with pineapple chunks!! Yum yum Especially on jacket potato

Congrats to you!! Well done! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I know JUST how you feel!! I was engaged for 5 years and was growing it and groing it and growing it for my wedding (Aug 2008) so that I could wear it down and curly. So glad it's all off now! But I used to have nghtmares about cutting it off before my wedding (how sad is that!!) :laugh: Hope all your prep is going well!…

I went blonde too! the hubby doesn't know what's hit him. (In a good way i hope....):ohwell:

I got about 8 inches of hair cut off yesterday! Ounces off I tell you! Ounces!! I wonder what I'd look like with a skin head....Now where's that razor....? Just kidding! Tell you what though, new lifestyle, new hair, does make a difference to how you feel! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Great stuff :laugh:

True! Did you find the bacon medallions? I think I know what you mean about Mountain Dew...I used to have a bit of a problem with Red Bull! I'm reformed now though...:blushing:

thanks guys- you talk sense! :flowerforyou:

I know I should know this as a regular visitor to the forums but I just need a little reassurance pleeeease:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I ended up today after dinner with 847 calories left. I know it isnt good for the diet to leave that many caloried uneaten. I am not hungry in the slightest (had a heavy…
