:smile: Im from North Essex near Suffolk border so feel free to add me, I am folloing 5:2 fast diet, and its the best thing I have ever done in my life, already lost 2 stone since February, wish it had existed years ago, am also vegetarian :)

For anyone interested I got an email from these guys toay and you can now get the re-named version here!! Not checked it out fully yet so not sure if pricing etc is the same... http://www.superelevenshake.com/

I have noticed its vanished also, I had ordered the 3 bag offer, but I got refunded and was told they had technical problems with the website and would advise when it was running again, this was a few days ago, I only have a few days left on my last bag. Super Eight shake is about nutrition rather than being a diet fad,…

:flowerforyou: I am 53 here, 54 in November, been on and off MFP for about a year now, lost about 2 stone before I started on here but finding it difficult as I am an emotional eater, which I am also working on, am hoping that now I got the beachbody 10 min trainer that it will be easier to put exercise into my shift work,…

Whatever you do NEVER EVER GIVE UP!!! YOU WILL GET THERE IF YOU KEEP GOING... losing weight when you get older is harder, no doubt about it, I know as I am 53 and struggling to lose about 3 stone over the last few years...lost 1 stone when I went raw however find it hard to stay on raw especially in winter and also when i…

World of warcraft mostly, sometimes D3 but not keen on that.....scrabble on FB, Mass Effect 3 ( just started) KOTOR 2 on xbox 360 and sometimes Red dead redemption and j1 jockey...but trying STTB on wii fit with my fitbit also...but usually only on rest days.....

It was her fault not yours....but it was easier for her to blame you than herself......You might just be extra sensitive some people are....I am and often feel the same and I get shouted at a lot face to face and over the phone as I work for the police so often get people shouting and swearing at you.......REMEMBER ITS NOT…

I have a Rough Collie called Flash...he helps me go out in all weathers to get my exercise....if I didnt have him I am not sure I would be so diligent in walking daily....he also gives me unconditional love and pats me with his paw if its close to his walk time and I have not noticed....or cos he wants some fuss or cos he…

I think there are probably good and bad people on all dating sites much as there are in life in general, I paid up front on Love2Meet.com which was not cheap and just got contacted by scammers which I did not know were such until a long time of emailing and phone calls and by chance the truth came out and luckily I was not…

I live in the uk and keep dabbling with raw vegan, but find it hard to lose the craving for meat which I get now and then, maybe once a fortnight i eat meat, fish or poultry and rest of the time mostly vegetarian and also vegan to a degree.....I am sure it is that part of my diet that helps me lose weight really......but…

it does sound like she over-reacted a bit but i didnt find out my ex-husband was on thyroxine for under-active thyroid gland..till we were married and also found out he suffered mentally with this also...just thought he was a bit shy....but diabetes can be improved hugely with weight loss.... Perhaps she is hoping you can…

could you invest in a cheap blender...its so fast to make a healthy smoothie, no additives except your own...chuck any fruit or fruti juice and blend with a superfood green product or spinach and a dash of water....then drink...rinse the blender under the tap and its done.....more healthy than commerical shakes...and no…

Hello, this has to be the most supportive place on line for losing weight....lots of great people, all going through similar trials, and best of all nobody telling what you should or shouldnt eat..just advice if you ask for it....and a stone is 14 pounds...lol

I try to do this also but finding it harder in the winter or if I am stressed, but if I give in to temptation and eat fast food I always feel sluggish and sleepy after and less energised. I am reading "The China Study" which explains a lot about nutrition and the best forms of protein etc to eat as well as how certain…

I agree Sue, it is harder to shift mosly because the older you get the more your metabolism slows its a known fact, however I have found sometimes not always but sometimes I find it easier to eat better......& also you have more awareness of your body and succumb far less to peer pressure....

water can help do you drink enough? sometimes you think you are hungry but really you are thirsty....fruit is excellent ..apples are good as they have fairly stable blood sugar so you dont get carb rushes with them...also if chocolate is your thing try raw chocolate as it tastes wonderful has no sugar or dairy makes you…

it is true sadly, it apparantly takes about 10 years off of our life span due to the body clock being out of synch...especially if you work rotation shifts since it never gets the chance to be in synch.....however...there are lots of advantages also I feel, such as going to work when everyone else is rushing to get…

OMG that would scare the hell out of me, are you up high? walking up and down ladders I doint think I could do Do you do nightshifts on your own ? Anywhere to get food in the night if you forget yours or run out? what kind of stuff is in the vending machine? Or a fridge or kitchen? But if you are eating at your desk, I…

After night shift it is just about hard enough to drive home and get to bed! I don't think I could go to the gym first....Gratz on that one...were you able to do that when you first starting shifts? I usually take my dog out for his big walk once I am up after my sleep and after having a smoothie....

I just got a soda stream so you can make your own drinks either with coke type syrups or other flavours by either using the ones supplied by soda stream or adding fruit juice for your own fun drinks if you use fruit juice you are also getting health benefits to boot...sometimes I just want something fizzy and even just…

Meditation works for me....and housework to ur fav dancy type music...if I play my fav hits from the 80s (avoiding any sad songs) I cant help but feel better....one of my favs is Mr Blue Sky by ELO....I really love that song...just see if you can dig out some songs from any time period that always had you jumping…

Dont feel too down....& dont forget reflections dont always reflect properly, due to lighting etc....at the end of the day....you are here on this site...which is a HUGE achievement as so many people out there dont give a damm or even try to improve themselves in any way....& it is not like you had gone out on a glamour…

yup water is crucial....and can also help control appetite a bit ....I can handle no breaks but I have to drink water quite often or my voice would get too strained.....

I agree with the post on not getting breaks...if its busy and you work for emergency services...sometimes breaks are just not possible...

Carrot sticks are a great idea!! thanks for that one, sometimes I get bored with fruit which I eat a lot especially at work as so easy to digest.....but most veggies are not so nice raw except perhaps corn on the cob!! Sometimes I take in homemade green smoothies but they can be messy but very good for energy although not…
