Thanks everyone :bigsmile: I'm on a quite strict diet (dukan) and I'm just having a whiney moment I guess. I feel better now, thanks a lot :heart: Maybe I will have a wee scoop of ice cream then take the dogs for a long walk. :smile: The recommended "healthy weight range" for my height is 141 - 113lbs so its a BIG range.…

pretty much every morning :blushing: Its part of my morning bathroom routine now! When I lose weight I record it on MFP. I had a plateau for nearly two weeks a while back but apart from that I've been losing steadily, so it keeps me motivated to keep weighing regularly :smile:

yay mum you made it to MFP! welcome :)

If there's an asia market near you you can check out their tofu too - the one in Albert Walk in Bray has the best kind I'm told. In my local Superquinn the silken tofu in on the shelf in the health food aisle but the cauldron tofu is in the fridge if that's any help :wink: I'm veggie and eat a LOT of quorn products too -…

Oh you're in Ireland too? Sweet! Cauldron do a firm (aka "normal" tofu!) tofu. It comes in a plastic packet and is in water - you have to take it out and dry it in paper towel. you can then cube it and stirfry with loads of fresh veggies yum yum yum! Superquinn stock it and some dunnes too. I add silken tofu to scrambled…

If it makes you feel better - my friend just had all of the drama with none of the extra protein in her food diary :wink: I run a pet store - she came in to get a worm dosage on saturday for her puppy..After she gave her the medicine, instead of passing the worms as you'd expect in the garden the poor thing projectile…

Tofu (yum), soya or rice milk yogurts/cheese/milk for protein. An excellent way to get in some extra iron is to cook up a nice stew in a tomato based sauce in a cast iron pot - leave overnight and eat the next day. Make it a nice bean/lentil rich stew and that combined with the reaction of the tomatoes absorbing some of…

yay well done! I'm about 3 inches away from zipping up my "magic pants" but they wouldnt even go past my thighs before so happy days! :bigsmile:

woohoo! after a two week plateau I FINALLY dropped a pound on the scale today. I think its just water, the lady in the health food shop recommended some nettle tea and it really helped with my bloated PMS tummy, plus it tastes good! Only one little pound but at least the scales is moving in the right direction now :-)

I'm following the Dukan plan and have lost 11lbs, but I've been stuck at the same weight for 10 days now :cry: Doesnt seem that long I know but after an initial loss of 5lbs then a steady drop of 2-ish lbs a week it's most disheartening. :ohwell: I think its because I usually work evenings but have had 5am starts instead…

If you want to lose weight, do it for you. not to make her happy. cos it wont. ps. I'm 5' 3" and currently 130lbs and I barely have lovehandles (11lbs lost) so i'm sure you look great, dont listen to your mom :flowerforyou:

yay!! well done you!!:flowerforyou:

me too! :happy: started at 141, heading for 119. I was at the very top of "healthy" range but looked terrible, in and out of clothes :grumble: 8lbs down I look and feel much better already :bigsmile: finish weight will put me in the bottom 3rd of the healthy range :smile:

As soon as I read what he wrote I thought "he's jealous!!" then when you said his nickname... well I'm sure he'll be apologising and asking for some tips soon :bigsmile: if he doesnt he's a jerk. you look great, 100% crackhead free you look very classy in your purple dress :flowerforyou:

Just to add, some exercise, even some walking, every day is crucial. I'm sure you'll look fab on your wedding day, congrats :happy:
