Crispbread with pb and choc hazelnut spread or crispbread with almond butter and chopped banana. Plus coffee, definitely, always, unequivocally, coffee

Hi i started at 17st 2 and I'm now at 16st7 and lose 2lb a week generally. I eat 1600 cals a day. I rarely exercise due to health problems. I used to use spoons until I saw the video posted earlier. Now I weigh my crispbread then spread on my peanut butter or almond butter then weigh again and voila I now exactly what I've…

When people use the terms retarded or spastic as a joke or insult, I have a disabled son who is retarded in the true sense of the word and he's beautiful, funny, loving and not an insult! Also people who care more about money than people. Oh and dog crap, if I got to scoop the poop, you bloody well can as well!

Take some time to read the sticky threads, there's so much info in there that answer all the questions you have at first. But yeah the general consensus is eat back at least half your exercise calories

I have to take magnesium high potency and vit d or I'd just sleep my life away!

I so want to hug you right now Gently :(

When I used to run before my health problems, I used to sing a song in my head or a chant to keep time. It probably sounds really stupid to you guys but I used to repeat in my mind " nelly the elephant packed her bags and said goodbye to the circus......" It was my exact comfortable rhythm and pace to run to! Ok I'm…

I've not heard of that, so one to browse for me, thanks

The difference between my exercise bike monitor and mfp is a good couple of hundred, I adjust it to what my bike says. Like the others have said mfp does over estimate calories burned during exercise. Good luck on your journey xx

Tbh I don't take any notice of that, it's almost never right!

Deep tissue massage is tricky, yes it can help sort out the deep knots and ease tension but it can be excruciating for someone already in pain, particularly if they get you on a tender point

????? I do not have the power

Ok I'm gonna try this now,

seriously?

Ohh ok, thanks

Yes even though the pain is pretty rotten, it's the fatigue that gets me down the most. At least if I'm in pain I can still play with my little boy, when I'm fatigued I just have to take to bed!

That's really fantastic for someone with health problems. I'm going to increase my walking again, just come out of flare up so gotta start from scratch again building it up

Also meant to say low curbing puts me straight into flare

How do you get on doing exercise with the pain you have? I've just bought an exercise bike which I can manage 10 minutes before my pain gets too bad, I can manage slow walks with my dog which I love. I want to start swimming again but whenever I do any kind of exercise it lands me in bed for days. Did you experience that…

Don't take the mickey out of me, but how do you know when a post has been flagged? Am I missing something super obvious here? Lol

I have fibromyalgia, M.E, Raynaud's phenomenon, arthritis, plantar fasciitis and Mortons neuroma.. I was told by my rheumatologist that a healthy and nutritious diet can play a part in reducing pain. I know that my fatigue gets bad if I eat lots of sugary stuff but I guess that would make sense due to the sugar high and…

This video has just completely put it into perspective for me, thank you

I've found increasing healthy fats and proteins have helped me plus I'm on 1600 cals whereas last time I did 1200 and gave up quite quickly. I don't feel like I'm On a diet at all, just eating tasty and nutritious food and thinking more about what I eat I'd say try upping your cals and having a large chunk of your…

I seem to get more hungry because I'm thinking about food more, like how it's going to fit in my calories and macros. I'm on 1600 cals and easily fit in snacks and treats like a chocolate bar or something. A lot of people on here suggest increasing fats or protein which I have to say does seem to fill me up for longer 1200…

This. Just so... This

Ok will do, you too

Just had my absolute favourite I recently discovered- ryvita crispbread with almond butter and chopped banana on top. It's gorgeous and super healthy too

I gotta try those brownies and the lasagne yum!
