Please feel free to add me, I’m not very good at the measuring carbs in grams but am avoiding all ‘standard’ carbs like potatoes, bread, pasta, rice etc and keeping under my calories. Would love to see what others are eating this way!

well someone looked into that a bit too much. nothing wrong with wanting your partner to share something that you made and are proud of as far as I'm concerned. certainly does my partner and I no harm.

why would that be anything to be ashamed of?

Ooh and roasted stuffed portobellos! Garlic, cheese, onion and breadcrumbs. Yummy

I don't think it's babying him. My bf can't cook at all but that's fine by me as I'm pretty protective over my kitchen! Mushrooms are generally my go to for filling up dinners. Dan's personal fave is chicken, halloumi and mushroom skewers with cous cous. He'd never had cous cous before but now he's addicted. You can easily…

NOT a medical expert in any way, but my brother has/had scoliosis and was an active kitesurfer before his surgery. doctor was fine with it, just recommended adding in swimming regularly to strengthen. after op he couldn't kitesurf anymore due to concerns but he is an avid cyclist and lifts. all I can say is our gp was very…

I eat it every week with chicken, mushrooms and feta and it never puts me over calories (standard dish comes in at 400 calls ish dependent on weight) I love the stuff!

in my experience, if a guy wants out, he gets out. none of this 'i pity her' crap. he's talking total and utter pony.

in a tortilla wrap with banana and peanut butter. amazing breakfast.

this was exactly my point :) I'm not saying ditch the junk completely, but I can't believe how many delicious recipes I have discovered since watching what I eat. all hail vegetables, tomorrow I'm going to stuff and roast an aubergine - amazing!

I'll send you a cd of voice recordings... Also featuring smash hits such as 'cup of tea' and 'trousers' :)

mine & bf's personal fave is cous cous, and literally chuck in whatever you fancy (roast veg, chicken, feta, olives are some of my choices) delish cold :)

no targets in the UK unfortunately. as i said, it's difficult to weigh myself at work with no clothes on first thing in the morning. i was looking for a vague idea but 15lb seemed extreme even with clothing and later in the day. note my concern.

Boom, there's your explanation, thread closed. Idk why you woud weigh yourself innacurately when you haven't weighed in 2 months... [/quote] mainly because i don't have scales at home and these are the only ones i've had access to in that time. i moved out of my parents house 2 months ago and haven't fully kitted out my…

thinking about it sensibly (ie not shrieking 'FATTY! FATTY! continuously inside my head), i have probably weighed myself under bad circumstances as a lot of you said. it was at 6pm after 2 meals, with full work uniform on and different scales to normal. i do log accurately and have been enjoying eating this way so haven't…

last weighed 2 months ago in all honesty, but that's when i started cutting down my calories and making better choices. clothing doesn't seem to fit any differently, at least not any tighter. no i haven't started lifting. i can't get my head around this as surely to gain 15lb in two months i would have had to have sat on…

weighed 2 months ago and started cutting down and watching what i ate from there. been on mfp for a few weeks. yes i log as accurately as possible :(

today for breakfast i had a tortilla wrap filled with banana slices, (store own version of) nutella and peanut butter. it was amazing, and kept me completely full until lunch, AND i've stayed under my calories for the day (1370). i'm team nutella all the way.

thanks for the tip! i suppose yours is higher because you lift a lot though? currently i'm not burning an awful lot exercise wise!

an evil pointing 5 year old!

christ! my mind read that in such a demonic voice! chill OP!

cannot beat asda for fresh fruit and veg in my opinion, brilliant prices.

'The first time I met my wife, i had a shirt on that said "Chicks dig scrawny white guys" Needless to say she loved it.' adding just for this. amazing.

tell him to shut his mouth! 140 is totally fine for your height! any man that makes jibes at his girlfriend like that is just flaunting his own insecurities. point out one of them to him, just to see how he likes it.

8.5 gorgeous hair!

that just made my day.

you shouldn't really take too much notice when weighing yourself daily, it fluctuates too much. concentrate on a weekly weigh in otherwise you'll confuse yourself.

love these, lolcats make my life.

yes please!

wow! what a response already! and there was me thinking this was going to be a lonely trek! thanks so much guys, means a lot x
