Looks like sunnyroyal will be the first atm!

I just had em baked in the oven for an hour til the shell was crispy and the inside smooshy - then topped with homemade chunky guacamole and feta. Bloody lovely

I've sent friend requests to everyone. Day one and so far I've done 2 dog walks and stayed under my calorie goal with some nommy food. Start as you mean to go on!

Well this was a long time ago! Just getting back onto mfp and looked at my old posts - i have since been diagnosed with fibromyalgia so I guess that's the culprit.. Sadly I feel much worse now than I did back when I started this thread as it now affects other parts - even holding my phone to type this is causing that…

What is sweet tea? for 250 calories it sounds like it's a specific recipe rather than just a cuppa with milk and two i'm guessing? I personally love my herbal teas, twinings do a camomile and maple that is naturally sweet without needing any extra sugar, and only 2 calories for a mug so works well for me :)

Whilst I find it can be time consuming at first, because I eat the same things regularly it's not a lot of hassle to go quick tools>copy meal to today and I'm sorted :)

I DEFINITELY needed some of this..

I used to have two house ferrets called loki and dylan, they were like little dogs, then one day they were out in my mums garden playing in their run (she was ferret sitting whilst I was away) and some sod nicked them. I've never let any of my pets out of my sight since :/

August the 17th is a great day for a Birthday :wink: I'd like to loose 20lbs by then, but I'm going to have to be much stricter on myself when it comes to alcohol intake if I'm going to achieve that!

My apologies. The fluctuations are most likely to do with water retention and whilst daily weighing is fine, a more accurate indicator is to watch the trend of weight gain and loss over time. It's not unusual for these fluctuations but if in the long run things are going down you're on the right track.

Ah RDJ where have you been? I've been up a mountain in Spain with no internet and boy have I missed this thread!

You're eating 1300, but you're exercising 900? Leaving you with a net calorie intake for the day of 400? That's not the way to do it, the defecit is too high for safe / sustainable weightloss in the long term if these numbers are correct. Are you weighing all food and using a hrm for calorie burns whilst exercising? These…

and we're back for more (I saw the thread on "my gif is better than yours" - well clearly this is the threadkiller of best gifs) Except there is no thread death because this one's gonna keep on rolling :drinker:

^ This. You're setting yourself up for disappointment if you think that you can lose 2lbs per week - mfp will not give you a number that is less than 1200 calories a day for safety reasons, and this will be highly unlikely to put you at enough of a defecit to actually be under by 7000 calories in a week - and that's how…

I'm actually surprised at the recommendation of washing hair 3-4x per week, that's actually quite high! I only wash my hair every 1-2 weeks, but like someone else said, I have a dry scalp, never get oily hair at all - if i washed it that regularly I would have a severely disagreeable scalp! I also would do the odd CO…

I have gone down a shoe size, but I don't think it's anything to do with weight loss as I have been in a size 6 UK shoe since the age of 11 (certainly before any weight gain as this didn't happen until my 20's), then over the past year I have noticed that 6's are too big, and the last 4 pairs of shoes I have bought have…

AAaaaand IN for some more YUM!

my thoughts? I'd need to be hardwired to the loo! Seriously, when I tried doing the 2 litres a day thing I ended up needing the bathroon every few minutes or so - 15 litres? The stream out would be as steady as the stream in!

cottage cheese olives sun dried tomatoes walnuts apple avocado Mrs Balls chutney boiled egg tuna And all the other lovely things that people have mentioned! I also thought I "hated" salad, because growing up salad = iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber. Turns out, what I "hated" were just these three things, and a salad…

I get bored easily so change things up a lot (not on a specific lifting plan, just using exercise to burn a few more calories) and will do 10 mins cardio on the cross trainer, a few sets compound exercises with dumbell weights, back to the cardio and so forth. Possibly not the most effective way to exercise but it gets me…

Brilliant!

I think my eating costs have reduced since eating healthily - and I use a combination of cheapy stuff from the supermarket when I can bothered to go, but mostly get fresh stuff from my greengrocer. For example, I bought 2 bags of fresh veg the other week, and yes I spent £6 on it all, including a cabbage, a pepper, a leek,…

Bad. You don't have that much weight to lose (you look fine as is to be honest!) and so a goal of 2lbs per week just won't work. When you're down to the last few, 0.5lbs a week is more realistic. Is the 1200 after calories burned during exercise? If not you need to allow for more. As for the meat side of things, lean…

Can't see the pic! Add it to your profile?

I just got some from ebay as I had pennies in my paypal, been using analogue for a while but it is so nice (and much quicker!) to weigh in digital :)

There's tonnes of us! (Kent here!) :smile:

It's worth checking out ebay also - I got myself an ft4 for £20 delivered, bargain! Can't recommend it enough for accuracy as well, and it's a great motivator watching those numbers change - not just the calories burned, but for me today I noticed that my hr recovery from exercise was so much quicker than it used to be,…

3lbs here, but I really don't mind, I'll start back working it off again today :)

I'll bump him. I'll bump him GOOD :bigsmile:

Just to make everyone's new year start off well :love:
