Thank you, she is my most adorable 9 year old half sister who I love to pieces.

Is it just me or do all the idiots appear on these boards at about the same time everyday? Sorry OP for all the crappy responses you had. Eating good or complex carbs will not help you lose fat faster but it should keep you fuller for longer. I avoid processed carbs, like white pasta, white rice and white bread, chosing…

If you are still wondering I've just posted my before and progress pics in this thread.

Thank you! I do feel very proud of myself. I do think with addictions that you will never succeed until you yourself are ready. My doctor tried to get me to stop for a few years but I just wasn't ready. When I finally was my detox went quite smoothly and I now concentrate on being healthy rather than my alcohol obsession.

My boys are my life and you are correct they are Whippets. They have been great therapy for my depression, forcing me to get up and out when I really didn't want to face the world. We do lots of fun stuff together, like Lure Coursing, which has introduced me to a new circle of friends. I've never met an IG before but they…

Whoopsy.

Thank you everyone :)

Great work, you both look much improved!

Absolutely YES! I tend to plan my food the day before depending on what I have in the fridge. That way I reduce the risk of snacking or choosing badly.

Your diary looks great! Lots of variety and healthy, fresh foods. I'd keep doing what you are doing and the weight should come off. Just watch your net calories on days when you exercise. Only thing I would say is that your weight goal would appear low for your height, not excessively so and if you are fine boned then you…

Can you give us an idea of what your goals are?

I can't really help as I haven't tinkered with my settings, I just try to eat 1,200 cals net, not much fat or refined carbs and lots of fibre. I'd say give your settings a go and see how it works out, you can always tinker again.

If I miss breakfast I can go most of the day without eating but this just isn't healthy. I eat a small breakfast as soon as I wake up, usually wholegrain toast. Your breakfast doesn't need to be a large meal, why not try an apple on your way to work. Not time consuming, cheap, healthy and won't make you bloated. If I do…

No, my primary goal is to teach myself how to eat a healthy nutritious diet whilst at a calorie deficit currently. When I reach my goal weight I will increase my calories to maintenance slowly while still eating as healthily as I can. I don't deny myself naughty treats but eat them, as well as everything else, in…

I'm a snooper and proud! I figure if people don't want me to look at their diary they will have it closed. My goal is to eat a healthy balanced fresh diet currently at a calorie deficit so that I can lose weight while teaching myself how to eat properly. Everyone has different goals so diarys are going to be different, I…

My goal is 133 lbs and I'm 5ft 3.5 in. I weighed 117 lbs five years ago and just couldn't maintain that weight without significant exercise and if I am honest I looked too thin, I'm medium boned. I think I look my best at around 126 lbs. After being 117lbs I blossomed to a whopping 184 lbs thanks to an alcohol problem.

Glad to hear you are in recovery for your eating disorder, those first steps are the hardest. I've had annorexia and bulimia in the past so can empathise. I had problems with a lack of B Vitamins and was on a pretty high dose for a while until my health improved. You cannot always do this through diet alone and a little…

I bake and stuff my eggplant. Buy a small one, cut the top off lengthways and scoop out the flesh. Spray the shell with a little Fry Light and put in a hot over, about 180 degrees C for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile finely chop the flesh, a couple of chestnut mushrooms and a small potato. Fry these gently in a little Fry…

Cellulite isn't just about reducing body fat guys!! Even when I have been underweight I have cellulite dimples. I'm still overweight at the moment but my cellulite has improved significantly since cutting out alcohol. Best thing you can do to improve the look of cellulite is not to drink alcohol or caffeine, drink plenty…

Not sure about citrus fruits but if you juice watermelon do a little shot of juice from the peel as well. It doesn't taste great but is packed full of nutrients. I drink the shot followed by the much more pleasurable juice from the flesh.

It's typically around 1,000 but some days less than 500. Daily MFP value is 2,500.

I absoultely crave more carbs during that time but resist over eating for the day or three that I'm affected, not always easy.

Thank you! I've been keeping an eye out for such a product and haven't found one yet!

No worries thanks for the sweet potato recipe, it looks lush and oh so simple! I LOVE my Spiralizer.

Anyone?

Two Whippets here, my best mates, one nearly three and the other 14 months called Sugden & Ripley. Not only do they help me to get out and exercise but they've helped me with my anxiety and depression also. No home should be without a dog. We go lure coursing at the weekends, it is great to see the dogs doing what they…

I too love Clif Bars but haven't had one for a while. I figure that when I get to my goal weight I can incorporate them back into my diet again as my preferred after bike snack.

I went to two appointments with an NHS dietician and then gave up! Gave her my food and exercise diary and the only suggestion she had was to maybe replace the butter on my morning toast with margarine! I said I didn't eat Marg because it was high in Transfats. The butter was the only added fat in my diet. She said nothing…

I really like the taste of the Vita Coco, it's for the anti-oxidants and potassium that I thought I'd give it a go. From looking online as well it says it's anti-ageing also.

This looks great! Thanks.
