Southampton here too :-))

Yeah, ours all have 'husky hearing' - there are a few magic words that have a higher chance of them listening - "bed", "treat" and "dinner". All need to be used wisely though lol!

Hey, I'm 5'9" and my highest weight was 220lbs (could have been more, tbh, but I stopped weighing), current weight is 147.6lbs and my goal weight is 126lbs - I have a very small frame...poor little wrists are only 5.25" lol

I've gone from 220lbs to 147lbs and yes, I still feel "fat" - I'm not sure if that's down to me being so tiny before I gained the weight or whether it's just because I'm so critical of myself anyways or whether it's a very common thing to occur...who knows?!

Seriously people...she was asking for recipes, if you don't like the stuff what the hell is the point in replying with "give it to the dog" or "garbage disposal" etc, etc. Just don't bother replying at all!! :grumble:

I came across this recipe the other day whilst looking for butternut squash recipes: http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/594579 I've not tried it so can't comment on that but it looks quite good!

A pair of size 7 boots I had fit perfectly when I got them (60lbs ago) now I have to wear a pair of really thick socks with them!

Yeah, that's what happened to my cat. She stopped eating, lost lots of weight then got all wobbly on her feet. Took her to the vets to have some blood tests done and she a major infection running throughout her whole body - she was 16 so we decided the best thing for her was to have her put to sleep. It was hard but I…

I'll never understand...its just starting to get cold as well?!

Requiem - Foo Fighters Went to bed last night singing it, had difficulty sleeping because I was singing it, woke up singing it and will probably still be singing it this evening!

My god I want a fig roll!!

Yeah, sprouts are awesome!

Are you trying lower carb or keto? Keto generally falls in the <30g of carbs per day whereas (generally) lower carb is under 100g. If you are going for a keto diet then reading the Atkins book will be very beneficial! If you do end up following a plan (like Atkins) then there will be strict rules for the first couple of…

Out of interest what 'excess waste' are you referring to?

You do know the saying...if it ain't broke, don't fix it...right?

The body has no way of storing water so once your hydrated, you're hydrated and you'll just pee the rest of your intake out. If your thirsty then drink and if your pee is straw coloured you know you're good. Everything with liquid in it will count towards your daily intake - including food, tea, coffee, cola etc - you…

Louisianababy93 you have beautiful eyes!

Don't listen to your *kitten* of a boyfriend and get a job...continue at college and go to uni like you'd wanted. He's only gonna be around for another 6 months!

Kinda floated around in the middle somewhere...I would probably more side with the geek/nerd crowd these days...I think?! My two best friends from high school are still my two best friends now - although we do live in different parts of the country and only see each other like 4 times a year :-))

Fantastic! Always on the look out for new recipes to try...thank you :-))

Wow...sounds like they'd be good for me!

Fry some onions and garlic in a little olive oil, add a tin of chopped tomatoes and some tomato puree and let it reduce a bit. Can jazz it up a bit by adding things like fresh basil, chilli, peppers, mushroom, clams etc. Then top off with some parmesan :-))

My profile is pic is my dog Shadow. He's now 4 years old and we rescued him when he was 2.5, we're is 6th and final home! I also work with a husky/malamute rescue, it's saddening how many come through our doors :-(

First off, welcome to MFP! Second, well done on your loss to date! Right - carbs: if you have no medical reason for keeping them low (diabetes, pcos etc) and have not been instructed by your doctor (or dietician) to do so then don't worry about counting them. Just make sure they come from good sources like fruit,…

Yep - I've got 10-20 pounds left, most frustrating...so close yet so far :sad: Good luck everyone!! :flowerforyou:

Apparently, hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of long words. I do apologise to anyone who does suffer from such a fear :sad:

They are always on the lead except 2 fields that are owned by the council and marked as 'dog exercise fields' - fully enclosed! There are also a couple of beaches that are quite secluded that we'll let them off on - they're so fascinated by the water and the seaweed they'll normally stay close to us...we'll let them know…

Sorry, I can't help but I'll give your post a bump! p.s. really hope you're able to sort it soon, being in almost constant pain is awful :-((
