For some reason, Maggi noodles make me really crook and give me a headache.

Good on you for being motivated enought to make a change! Time to restablish some new habits and give yourself the gift of health! Good luck!

I second Black Dagger Botherhoos by JR Ward, first book is Dark Lover. Really hot and great storyline!

Maybe try drinking a couple of glasses of water before you eat? Gives you a real 'uncomfortably full' feeling.

To be honest, I tried eating back my calories burned exercising and it didn't really work for me. My sister feels the same way. A few years ago I went on the lite n easy program, they put me on a 1400 cal per day meal plan and they don't give you any extra food in the event you exercise. Just my opinion though.

I actually think this is really smart. iPhone's these days have a gps tracking thing so if the child goes missing etc you can get a clue as to their whereabouts or at least last location. There is also the bonus of being able to contact your child in the case of an emergency or to let them know what to do in the event of…

Seriously, that's okay, it's perfectly natural to compare yourself to other people. And you don't sound jealous, it actually sounds more to me like you just wish that your grandma was talking about your successes. And it sounds like she will be eventually! All I can say is, you will get there. You are doing the work, and…

I agree with the Paul Wesley suggestion, he's definitely intense enough for it...

Maybe you're not eating enough protein or a low GI food that keeps your sugar levels in your blood even so you're getting all these cravings. Also I found cutting out/back Diet sodas helped, something in them triggered my sweet tooth. The other thing you could try is the vitamin tablets called 'chromium', apparently they…

Bit of a throwback to the 80's but I love rebounding on the mini tramp, great cardio or warm up or down. And surprisingly great for people with joint issues...

Alice: madness returns on the Xbox is incredible!

I think the main problem is how to get yourself to want to do it. My self esteem was shot and I hated myself every day.... I couldn't get motivated and just kept feeling worse for every day I couldn't get myself to start so I was willing to try anything... So I got these 'hypnotism for weight loss' CDs... It sounds odd and…

Drborkbork- I also just finished reading "let's pretend this never happened" freaking hilarious! Kept getting odd looks on the tram to work from spluttering and trying not to laugh out loud! Awesome!

Mzvonda you're incredible!!! Thanks for sharing!

Basically a lot of the classics are free because they're out of copyright. Classics I liked that were free on amazon: The mysterious island by jukes Verne (I think val Kilmer was in a movie version of it but please don't hold that against the book) Moby **** by Herman Melville Madame Bovary by gustave Flaubert Les…

I have cheese on vita wheat crackers or a small bag of popcorn is about 90cals, or sometimes just a piece of fruit will do the trick.

I read somewhere that rebounding is really good for people with breathing difficulties, and burns about 11calories per minute...

Hey! I've been struggling with clinical depression and severe anxiety disorder for basically all of my twenties(I'm 28 now). I take up to five or six tablets of various medication per day. I weighed about 50kgs (110lbs) when I started my medication and was very active. I've gained 25kgs (55lbs) over the 9 years and was…

Excellent! Thanks for the replies guys, looks like I'm on the right track (hopefully)! Bec ps. you're right jaypea, it does feel good to give support!

hehehehe you're on!

Is she trying to lose weight too? Or does she just have a different body shape than you?

All this great advice makes me want one....bad! Thanks guys!

Seriously that happened to me last week, I was so bummed and I hadn't strayed at all. I drank loads of water and peppermint tea and weighed myself the next day and was back to normal, even a little bit under. It's a roller coaster sometimes!

I realised after a whole that my 'friends' list on Facebook consisted mainly of exes and people I really haven't spoken to since high school about 10 years ago so MFP for me, all the way!

Maybe when you ask him for some time to your self you feel a little bit guilty for whatever reason and he knows it, so plays on that by complaining and acting like it's this massive thing and Bam! You don't end up taking the time you deserve. Let him complain a little bit, but take the time you need. Turn it into a regular…

I've been told that having breakfast gives you enough energy and makes it easier to stay on track for the rest of the day. I've had a bit of trouble with breakfast too, never having eaten it before. Maybe try a smoothie with fruit, yoghurt and a protein powder or somethig that is easier to get down in the morning? I'm…

sorry I'm new posted twice by accident

What about putting talc there? It's meant to absorb moisture? Also my partner gets chafing brough on by exessive sweating and he swears by merino wool undergarments, they're designed to draw sweat away from the body and help it breathe better. Maybe ones with a higher waist? You can get them from Kathmandu, they're a bit…
