Will try to be there if I´m not working! I take it it´s acceptable to sweat in public..... lol

The above is completely devoid of any logic! Holocaust victims weren´t skeletal when they went into the camps, they were "normal". Starvation kicked in as soon as they weren´t being fed! So regardless of whether you´re 160lb or 460lb, as soon as your body´s not getting food, you start to starve.

In my opinion the OP has stated basic facts, end of. There´s no need to draw on science to back up any of what he´s saying as it´s pure basics. I don´t see why people have to come on here *****ing and being smart arses. There may be elements you don´t agree on, but there are also much more diplomatic ways of saying so. Go…

What Crystal said. It definitely should NOT smell or feel like that. You'll never convince you like it so just move on.

Answer: body fat scales are all RUBBISH - ignore the fact there is even a body fat calculation function on them. They're not accurate at all - none of them are.

It's water; ignore it. I now weigh myself every day. That way I can see exactly what's going on and not think that because I weigh 4 pounds more this week than I did last week, that that's all fat. It's not - it's water, and I know it is because the scales have shot up 4 lbs overnight. In my eyese, weighing yourself daily…

No, no , no!!! A hen who has laid an organic egg hasn't necessarily lived a good or healthy life, she's just been fed "organic" feed. The eggs need to be organic AND free range.

I haven't watched it all, but I get the gist. It's sick. Pumping an animal full of hormones so it produces more meat, altbeit tasteless meat, just so a farmer can line his pockets quicker (or more likely, just survive!!) and a family can afford to eat is just sick to the core. BUT.... lets not forget that nowadays ALL of…

If it contains calories, track it. We track our healthy calories, right? So why fail to track olive oil just 'cos it's considered a healthy fat? You don't need anywhere near that much oil to do garlic, and hardly any if using a non stick pan. I used to lob half a tablespoon in with everything to get it going in the pan…

2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice 1/2-1 teaspoon of good quality honey A pinch of dried mixed herbs A pinch of course ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon of wholegrain mustard 1/4 teaspoon of crushed garlic (optional) 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil (optional) Yum, yum, YUM!! Even the one with no oil…

He's a man. Enough said. :laugh:

Hot, hot, hot!! That'a AMAZING!! You definitely don't look like you need to lose any more weight, but if you're still not happy and there are some lumps and bumps around, maybe concentrate now on toning some more (build muscle and reduce body fat %) - although you look very toned already. Well done!

Palmer's, Palmer's, Palmer's!!!! Your stretch marks are relatively new as were the random ones that appeared on my hips a few years back. I used Palmer's Stretch Mark oil and they disappeared COMPLETELY within a couple of months. They were bad, I'm telling you; red raw and massive to start with, and then calming down and…

You'd have to be REALLY stupid for one of these to work. I know that it doesn't matter how much I try to trick my brain, when it comes to cravings, NOTHING will ever fool it. So if I want 10 pieces of chocolate, I will have to eat 10 pieces of chocolate or at least as many as necessary until my brain says "stop". If this…

Being sick or feeling nauseous is your body telling you it doesn't like something, usually in your stomach. Listen to your body! It will tell you when you're thirsty and it will also tell you when you're sticking too much liquid in. By all means increase your water intake to (allegedly) help with weight loss, but DON'T do…

I have a Sigma PC 15 and I love it. It has loads of functions on it, but the only one I use is the Training Manager which shows me my heart rate, which zone I'm in (fat burning, aerobic, anaerobic, etc), time training, calories burnt, average and maximum heart rate during session, etc. I paid £35 for it which is around 48…

Thank you. It just came as such as shock, as all eyes had been on my grandmother and we had no idea Grandad was on his last few days. x

I'm an adult and I'm in a relationship. If my other half was cheating on my I'd want to know about it. Or shall we all just sit back and laugh at the poor naive wifey who potentially has no idea her wonderful husband is cheating on her. Should she not have the chance to be in a loving, trusting relationship with a man…

I've really hurt my knees so thought I wasn't going to be able to join you in this long awaited challenge. And then I figured I was just making excuses, so shoved JM's Six Week Six Pack into the DVD player today. Once my knees are better I'll move back onto 30DS. Have just entered my measurements. I've also added…

Yep, that's my answer to her and I'm sticking to it. I DID read her entire inital post and my answer still stands. I have now read the entire thread and several other people are of the same opinion, plus at no point did I say "Everyone else has already told you this..." So I'm not exactly sure where you shock horror at my…

I haven't read the whole thread, so someone may have already said what I'm about to say. Blow him out to his wife and get rid of the loser!! If I were his wife I'd want to know what he'd been up to, and then I could make the decision as to whether I wanted to stay with the stinking rat or not. That's not ruining her life,…

My reason to quit came as a result of having to interpret for a Spanish doctor and tell my grandmother (who lives in Spain) and cousin (who had flown over to Spain with me from the UK as soon as we heard she was in hospital) that my grandmother "has been a smoker all her life and her lungs are absolutely destroyed. She has…

Hahaha.... well funny you should say that, because I was born in the UK as Alexandra, but moved to Spain at the age of 8. I certainly wasn't going to be known as Alejandra as that wasn't my name and I couldn't get my tongue around the "je" element, so ended up being called Alessandra and Ales, but didn't have a problem…

*entered in error*

Mine is Alexandra. The female version on Alexander. Simples, no? Well apparently not. I flip my lid each time I get a letter or email from someone saying "Dear Alexander". Barclays bank were probably the best; I filled in an application form for a current account which also doubled as an application form for a credit card.…

Very rarely do I experience hunger pangs that stop me from sleeping, but the few times I have, it's been sheer torture so I know where you're coming from. Given I've only experienced this feeling a handful of times, I think it's pretty fair to say that those are times when our body is demanding we EAT! If you're…

Hmmm.... does Slim Fast not go against almost everything MFP stands for?? As soon as I saw the title of your thread and before I got to read any of the main body, I immediately came up with a solution for you: "Go and do some exercise, then scratch your itch with the extra calores". BUT, if you're following a really…

Don't rely on your body fat monitor for accurate mesasurements. They're absolutely useless! I've had three sets of scales, each from different manufacturers, and they've all been inaccurate. I can pop myself on at 0900hrs and show one figure, then jump on at 0901hrs and apparently have lost 5% body fat. All of them have…

I'm going to have an AMAZING loss during the first couple of weeks, mainly because I seem to be retaining something like 8lb of water at the moment. There is NO WAY I put that much on over the holidays so it must be water! Anyway, I'm starting late because I've had stuff going on, but I'm here for the challenge, with my…

I do it EVERY day! And I swear by it. How many times have I started out eating healthily, exercising and being really motivated, only to step on the scales a couple of weeks later and found I lost NOTHING or very little and as a result given up? TONS!!! And how many times had I actually lost some, but was carrying some…
