^Well... how's about a crocodile, one instead of a watchdog for the house :D < would love to find the time to write a book. v real book with pages to turn or Kindle?

Haha, it's a bit like that cooking show on telly. Ready Steady Cook :P Well... 1: make up the mixed veggies and puree them, maybe add the tomato into it. spread onto a puff pastry sheet and roll the sheet up. Slice into 1inch slices and put on a baking sheet and bake until they're risen and brown. They'll make veggie…

Wow. You are an amazing person, having turned your life around like this. Truly amazing! Best of luck for all your surgeries ahead!

^ Well, I prefer to be smaller than himself. And even in high heels my 5'4 self can't reach his 6'5 self, so safe enough lol < training to run 10km on 4th June v what's your favourite exercise?

love my porridge in the mornings!! I usually add cinnamon and flaxseed, sometimes also finely diced apples or pears or bananas :) raisins are good too! Enjoy :)

skinny to me would be all skin & bones, like Posh Spice. she looks awful! Kim to me looks healthy and shaped like a woman should be. I'd love to have an hourglass figure. My hips are naturally wider now anyway (after 4 kids!) but I wouldn't want to be straight. Bah Humbug to that lol - each person's different there though…

glad it worked out! Yes, if you do something with a lot of tomato, use a bit of sugar to counteract the acidity :) mmmhhhh chili! lol :D yum!

Co Wicklow (The Garden County!) in Ireland :)

Amazing, amazing so far!!! You've done extremely well and I can only agree, you look so much younger!!! You're very inspiring. Keep up the great work!!!!

We regularly eat Quorn in our house (we're vegetarian) and we really like it. I don't always use it because it does get pricey if you do, but it's nice. Can't stand the Linda McCartney stuff - so salty and full of fat. The sausages I tried were disgusting, the amount of gunk that came out of them while they were in the…

^ a fresh falafel sandwich from that little place near the Pyramids in Giza. Best. Falafel. Ever. < love to go horse-riding. v if money were no object, where would you travel to?

This might sound daft, but if you eat enough, maybe it's not physical that you feel hungry? Might take some time for your body to adjust to eating differently (well, I eat differently since I came on mfp) and that might make it think it's constantly hungry because somewhere you keep thinking about how you can't eat xyz…

^ I don't take any. < I've two pets. One cat and one corn snake. (both found in our garden!!!!!!! Take that, St Patrick, there WAS a snake on Irish soil haha) v Do you have any pets?

Do you know, there's a book that's a fabulous read. "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" My one big pet peeve is the apostrophe. I cringe every time I go around town and fancy a coffee. Most places have loads of different 'coffee's' and 'sandwiche's' and 'tea's' - what the hell? What does this sandwich possess? I'm very tempted to…

^ Tangled. Amused me no end, watched it with the kids < extremely overtired at the moment and really shouldn't be on here. I function on sleep-fumes v are you a tea or coffee person?

Weighed in today... last week: 174. This week: 174 lost 3lbs exercise minutes: 411 calories burned: 2490 shared recipe above, so that's the NEWT couldn't do the chair exercise cos of knee problems :(

SW: 174lbs 1st week: 171lbs total loss: 3lbs so far!! Delighted with it! :bigsmile:

^ only my ears. Nothing else! < 12 years ago, I moved to Ireland for 6 months to improve my English. I've never moved back! v have you ever lived in a different country?

^ my baby boy (he's 5 months and usually cuddled into me!) < I'm addicted to coffee v how many languages do you speak?

salted crisps and chocolate. Delish.

yeah... the small frequent meals keep you from craving things or feeling like you're 'starving' and to me, they make me eat slower and if I eat slower the brain has time to get the message from the stomach that it's actually full rather than be greedy for more ;) I usually have breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner and a…

You'll lose weight if you stick to your healthy eating ;D mfp gives 500 extra cals for feeding full time and I have to say I need those. I use them and I still lose weight. Saying that, on the other three kids I gained. Breastfeeding WILL make you hungrier, but if you're good and shovel lots of fruit and veg into yourself…

sky

Maybe reduce the cals to half? At a year old, she doesn't eat that often off you anymore as she did as a newborn. And make sure you keep oats and other 'milk-production-supportive' foods on your daily list :) I currently log mine as 500cals, but I'm his only food source for now (except the odd spoon of carrot or apple!) -…

Opposite of SPEW? ELF. Elf Leashing Federation. :) Thanks for the challenges! I'm gonna try to do 3 x 30sec each day... for the chair thing. Sounds hard! Recipe, just did this on Sunday. Delish!! Potato & Cauliflower Gratin (think in the US you'd call it scalloped potato & cauliflower?) Serves 4: 500g potatoes, peeled and…

Here are a few ideas for side or starter type dishes: -Colcannon (mashed spuds and cabbage -kale is lovely in it, much nicer than white cabbage!) -Potato Pancakes (Boxty) -Chips (that'd be steak fries in the US I think) See the trend there? All made of spuds lol... anything seafood would be good too. Plenty of that around…

Thanks for the replies! I've decided to just forget about the 'pushchair' cals and only log the walk/mph - did 66mins at 4mp/h pushing double buggy this morning and think the cals mfp gave for that are okay. Like was said - least there are more I used without the temptation of eating them back... ;) Perhaps I should invest…

Really depends. My 3 year old walks everywhere with us. My 2 year old does get put in the buggy when I go for a long, fast walk as she'd never keep up (this is me doing exercise in the mornings while my 3 yr old is in playschool and my 8 year old in school) and the 5 month old is in the buggy also. There are 4.5 years…

Has nobody got the answer then?
