There are people are there that will want to sabotage your health eating and weight loss. They'll say things like 'you looked better the size you were'. Just remember this is your choice and that you know you are doing this for yourself so that you feel better, look better and are far healthier. if you go round and eat -…

I watched this film for first time last nite and this quote just stood out: "The greatest thing to learn is to just love and be loved in return"

The Money Pit

[/quote] "This will get you high on flavor alone" (another quote from the last movie quote I posted, not guessed yet) [/quote] Is this Accepted? "The only serious relationship I've been in ended in a broken collarbone and a dead meerkat"

Hawkeye guy - has hit the nail on the head. It is so true. I only know that as I always ask the guys I meet what turns them on - and 90% of time they say just what Hawkeye has put.

Hey you've got nothing to worry about, by the sounds of it your fiance loves you and wants to be with you and finds your sexy. Men like seeing women dressed up whether is a see through negligee or stockings and suspenders. Yes if this is the first time for you, you'll probably feel nervous, self-concious and worry what…

Hi Donna, Welcome on your first step to your dieting journey. Best thing is try not to think of it as a 'diet' with restrictions on what you can't eat but a lifestyle change. Make sure your honest with yourself and log everything on the food diary - that way you can see where you can make changes (if needed). With the…

Okay my suitcase is now packed and passport in hand - here we go. To be honest its not to bad here at mo - we had it all in Dec and it wasn't fun at all, so feel for you right now. xVC

I have had the tendency of doing the same hitting a mini target and if its a signicant one like half stone or stone - I feel great but then do the stupid thing and relax too much. I had reached 3 stone target and then put back on 10lbs in 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!! Now back on track this week and hoping not to undo all the hard…

Many congrats on your wonderful news. My understanding is as you've said you don't need to really increase your cal intake, however, by doing so and the right foods - healthy well balanced your baby will get all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals needed - you'll get the left over so to speak. Good luck and keep us…

Hi there, not seen your earlier posting but I've not lost any weight of mine. They weigh between 4.5 to 5lbs each. I started out as a 38JJ and now 34JJ so have lost inches of my back (where I needed too) but the boobs have not changed - they infact look even bigger now because I've gone from a size 24 to a size 18 on top.…

Thanks for the replies, they have helped. GP did check apendix area and nothing there, no pain. Pain was specific to the stermum and right of the stermum which is tell tale sign of gall bladder. As someone said could never get comfortable and in end could only sleep laying on left hand side. I've been really good with…

Hi There, I used to make candles initially as a hobby and for presents and then kept getting requests so it turned into a very small business where I used to do a craft stall once a month at various places locally. Really enjoyed making them, the different types of moulds, colours and scent and experiementing. I was going…

PS a great low fat smoothie - chocolate strawberry mint. Blend strawberries, skimmed milk, 1tbs of cocoa powder and fresh mint leaves. Tastes just like mint chocolate - yummy

Hi Chocolate Monster, from another chocolate fiend - there's a few of us on here, either those how have managed to control their cravings, use tactics or are still struggling so you're not alone. I'm one of those that goes through fazes of not being able to get through the day without substantial amount of chocolate and…

Thanks for all these suggestions, it is something that will look into. Hadn't considered taken Vits before as assumed that if eating healthy food would get enough from that. Will keep you posted. Since lunch time been ok (now 2.50pm) but did spend 30mins typing out my post which kept me preoccupied!!. Just got to keep it…

Mine's public - I've been having a few bad days recently though (mainly snacking!!) xVC

I think sometimes GPs will use scare tactics and deadlines just to give someone something to serviously think about and get moving. Just set yourself a realistic target if not already done so, and break it down into small manageable chunks such as 5lbs or 7lbs a month, that way won't sound so daunting. Not sure if you…

Day and night ans occasionally inbetween!!!!!!!!!!

Saw Inception at the weekend - amazing and will definity watch again. Want to see The Last Airbender.

I think its great everyone has their opinion on this subject, but what seems to be very much forgotten is that probably 99% of items you buy from a supermarket, restaurant or take out will have been tampered with in one way or another in the production process. Be it the chemicals that are sprayed onto fruit n veg that…

http://www.ibstreatmentcenter.com/3.htm You might find this useful - there can be a number of causes for IBS from allergy, food tolerance or bacterial infection. this site also explains why certain things don't work. Have found it very helpful as a IBS sufferer. xUna

I'm opposite :-( I struggle from Mon to Fri at work not to eat cake and chocolate and prob 3 to 4 days succumb to it. Weekends I'm so busy working in the garden, housework or doing beauty treatments that I tend not to snack inbetween meals. My weight goes up slowly and then I just about manage to burn it off over weekend.…

I took Alli as well and does work. As long as you stay with in the recommended total fat per meal and one snack you shouldn't suffer too much with the side effects. I found it was an incentive to watch and count the fat in my meals. As I never had any side effects that people kept reporting I tested it over a weekend when…

WOWHOO way to go. Well done and its great seeing how much you've achieved. xUna

Hi, On a 2lb a week weight loss MFP reduces your cals to 500 less that your BMR so should be around the 1200 mark. Mines 1280cals a day. You may want at varying you food so you're not eating the same thing everyday. Personally, I would change from full fat cheese to low fat option and eat more fruit n veg and less protein…

Welcome and good luck with your journey. Have you ever considered hypnotherapy? It was something I did as a last ditch desperate attempt and glad I did.

If you have tendency to keep eating beyond being full, what about trying to gradually cut back on what you cook and put on the plate, that way you won't feel you're wasting food. This only happened for me as part of sessions I had with hypnosis, that I started automatically reducing my potion sizes little by little so that…
