I take my lunch to work everyday. Usually salad with either tuna, salmon, chicken, cottage cheese and sometimes brown rice or quinoa. I also take almonds to snack on and a natural low fat yoghurt. Prepare your lunch the evening before work or even make enough food for your evening meal so there is some left over to take to…

Bircher muesli sounds lovely, I will have to try that one :happy:

Porridge with chocolate protein powder added improves the taste :)

Thanks for your response - I will have a look.

What an amazing achievement - you should be sooo proud :drinker:

Probably not much for about the first 15 minutes... just on auto pilot until I start my workout.

I am in Oldham, just outside Manchester :wink:

I watched the programme. It was quite interesting, but I don't think the fact that exercise makes you healthier and live longer is a new concept! It is scary just how bad for you sitting down all day is, especially if you are an office worker, like me! I must move more and not sit in front of the TV or computer in the…

Chocolate - love wispa bars and gooey chocolate cake, yum!

Porridge in the morning works for me!

My boobs are getting a bit smaller - but I am happy about it as long as they don't get too saggy! when they were bigger I wasn't that comfortable with them anyway (my husband may disagree!). Don't understand the obsession with having big boobs, anyway.

I agree with Giraffe33991- it isn't a popularity contest or Facebook (but never really got that!). I have been logging on for 40 days but only recently been posting on the message boards so I don't have many friends :sad: I think I would prefer a small group of supportive, like minded people, which must be easier to…

I think when you start on this journey you can lose your way until you get the correct mindset. I do think using MFP really helps if you log your food and exercise daily. Also I love the fact that if you do exercise you can eat more (healthy food of course!). Just keep trying, you will get there. I thought I never would…

Clean eating certainly does help with the cravings- try to eat smaller meals every 3 hours to keep your blood sugar stable this will also help with the cravings. You can eat eggs - some people prefer to eat just egg whites but I prefer the whole egg. The carbs I eat are oats, sweet potato, brown rice, veggies and quinoa.…

I am over on protein every day. I think the protein settings on MFP are too low. Protein is good!

Hi, welcome to MFP:) it sounds like you are doing really well, keep it up.

I have just turned 49 and it does get harder to lose weight the older you get. I was afraid I wouldn't lose anything so didn't try for ages, but I am happy say I have lost about 27 pounds so far :)

I am a Nigella fan - she looks fabulous. Although I have heard she is a bit of a fan of the botox, which she probably doesn't need. I guess it is the pressures of HD TV!

hi I am from the UK, used to live not too far from you in Gee Cross, but I now live in Saddleworth. Good luck and feel free to add me:)

I will be having pancakes tonight with golden syrup and lemon juice! Yummy :)

IT is horrific - I only eat free range or organic chicken. I won't eat battery hens on principle!

I have Labrada Pro V 60 in chocolate. I looked at loads of different ones before I choose this one. It has the highest protein content and lowest carbs I could find. It is also low in sugar and full of other nutrients. I have it in my porridge after strength training.

Hi, I am from just outside Manchester in the sticks of Saddleworth. Welcome:) feel free to add me.

Hi I am from Oldham, Greater Manchester :smile: I'm new to MFP, I have been using the site every day for 20 days so far - great site, finding it quite addictive!
