Surely the point is that the people that don't count exercise do still do housework. So they burn more, they burn their exercise calories and their housework calories. So yes they weigh less.

True I've never been South of the Equator

I would aways offer to pay my share on the first date but not push it if he looks offended, blokes can be sensitive souls. After that if I were at all serious I would expect to pay my way, either by alternating who pays or splitting or whatever. None of the above applies if he is a millionaire. In which case true to my…

I eat whatever I want within my calorie target. Actually I'm lucky and don't have a particularly sweet tooth so I don't find it a trigger food. If I did I might cut it out because I would be scared I would not stop within my calorie limit. A bit like me and crisps, which I do limit. S I would say that as long as you are…

You're beating me. I keeled over week one day 3. Decided to waittil I'd lost a bit more. The bad news is I now have lost a bit more and its getting to be spring so I may need to start again soon. Keep at it. Do what they are all advising on slowing down and getting rest days in and see how you get on. ANd I'll let you know…

I was the daughter of the school dragon. No one called me anything to my face :) Though my best fried has subsequently admited (to her face) that she was scared stiff of my mother. I was just embarassed of her :)

You are awazing. I am so proud of you

:smile: Oh I do feel for you. My arms are 1.5 sizes large than the rest of me and it just won't go. Fortunately I don't have a friendly little sister to point this out

Cous cous salad

Sugar is a pure carb. i.e. it does not contain anything else. Hence it is high calorie. Spinach on the other hand is a mixture of loads of things, carbs, protien, iron, vitamins and other essential nutients. So if you eat 100 cals of sugar that is all you do, intake 100 cals. Where as if you eat 100 cals of spinach you…

I lost loads in the first week. I think it is just your body adjusting. So no you are not losing too quickly but it probably won't continue at this pace.

I find the problem is when she misses the deep tissue and goes for an artery

You might be by now!!!!

Im the opposite. Sitting in a bathtub is so much better. I fit!!!!!

You are looking great.

Me too. It was awesome.

Do what you did with the shoes. Go to a good outdoor wear shop and explain what it is you are doing and what you require. There are plenty of sports like fell running that MUST have exactly the same requriements. What you will need as a basic requirement is the ability for it to let sweat out whilst not letting rain in. I…

Only saw the pics of Foxy after I posted. She is adorable and as you say clearly very healthy.

Foxyforce. I think we will just ignore miss know-it-all. If you have had your dog for a year she will definately requrie a booster. And yes she will also need worming, flea treatment etc, and just having a general check up once a year is a good idea (you know this already otherwise you would not be asking). Exactly what…

I drink diet coke by the gallon (hate coke zero). Its my only indulgence and a pretty innocent one at that. I dieting to live, not living to diet.

Follow this link for a really in depth explaination. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 However I would say do what ever is right for you. I am not particularly eating back my calories but I am eating what my body is telling me it wants i.e. when I'm hungry and I am…

If they notice I'm losing wight I tell them (normally the next question to "Have you lost weight" is "what plan are you following"). Other than that I take the view I'm losing weight for me not them and they don't need to know.

Get yourself a C25K app for your phone (Couch to 5K in nine weeks). Its designed to get you through those initial steps, pretty similar to what you did. So week one you alternate a minutes running with a minute and a half of walking, week 2 you up the running etc. All with a nice voice prompting you to continue and telling…

The app is brilliant. Means that you can always log. Also I work away a lot and need something to monitor on a dialy basis. In the bad old days (pre mobile internet - you won't remember) that meant weighing daily which I couldn't do because I was away, I got demotivated and therefore everything slipped. Now I just log and…

Wow. Well done. I was intereted because your starting weight, target loss and finishing weight was exactly the same as mine. The difference is 1) I'm four inches shorter - though to be honest I think I know my finishing weight is not small enough but I can't imagine myself any smaller and 2) After 6 months I've lost 3…

Oh and take out an injunction to stop my husband donating the lot to Nottingham Forest.

Selfishly buy a house with good inside pool so I could roll out of bed and into pool before I wake up in the morning. Then travel (I'll dress first). Less selfishly pay off my neices student loans and make sure they were set up okay to start adult life. And yes I would of course give at least 10% to charity.

Nottingham calling. Feel free to add me

Its the food that confuses me. I swear they speak another language food wise in the States Feel free to add me. I'm from Nottingham

You have to overeat by 3500 calories to put on a pound. I bet even the wagon didn't have than many calories in it and it it did - so what we are talking about one pound. The point about healthy eating is that so long as you are generally eating to plan you can afford the odd wagon even chocolate covered ones. :wink:
