^ 1999/2000 :) < I need more hours in a day. 24 just aren't enough. v coke or pepsi?

Totally works. I have my two smallest (2yr old girl and 6 month old boy) in the double buggy at least twice a week for a 7+km walk. I use Endomondo gps running/walking tracker, put it to 'walking' and it times and tracks me :) Pushing the double buggy and 'racing' myself really gets me to work up a sweat and the kids love…

Yep, pretty much what has been said already: drink lots of water, eat wholegrain bread/rice/pasta, lots of fruit and veg - there's no real need to suppress appetite. If you're hungry, eat. Just don't eat junk food that won't fill you up, opt for healthy options instead. Exercising doesn't cost anything either. If you can't…

^ yes :) my eldest (8) already started horse riding. My 3 year old had a couple lessons and my 2 year old a bit of a lead rein *rubs hands* I will get them all!!! :glasses: < extremely tired today. And craving chocolate. v Do you believe in horoscopes?

my mfp put my protein as default to 57. I left the macros alone and accepted them. And I get close to or, quite often, over those without any protein powder. It's all about eating the right combos of food in the first place. I get that weight lifters need more protein to get the muscles, but surely too much protein isn't a…

maybe I'm a bit slow, but what is Tae Bo? :huh:

Thank you!! Biggest reason for me to try this is because of my sore knee. Heard it's better for it as less impact somehow. Really need to read up on it a lot more. Great to hear positive replies! Will try the library and see would they have it.

:noway: 42.6% BF for me :sad: here's to changing that. Wow.

Can I side-track a bit with a question? How do you find out your BF%? Do you have a special scale or what do you do?

Much bigger part of the diet for me (I'm vegetarian for 20 years now) would be pulses. Lentils & beans & tofu have a TON of protein and are healthy and yummy ;) You can also use quinoa or couscous to mix things up a bit. Use wholegrain/brown rice/pasta etc. They're higher in calories but not the empty kind so it's all good…

Yes. Eat your 1200 (that's already the deficit) and then your exercise cals back. :) Freaked me out at the start, and I mean REALLY freaked me out, because it meant some days I eat more than 2000 calories and I found it really hard to get my head around the 'eating less does not equal weight loss'. It's brilliant once you…

^ Different fundraisers throughout the year (this year I did 1 event for Irish Cancer Society so far, and will run for charity in a 10k run in June, usually also for my kids' school at some point throughout the year something) < wondering now how late this night will be, my eldest has a friend over for a sleep over! v…

^ I did go to a language college and am a Foreign Languages Correspondent (English, Spanish, German and French) < just back from a week's holidays!!! v what was/will be for dinner today?

Well, my kids aren't grown yet but... 2 adults (hubby and I) + 4 kids + 1 cat + 1 snake - on average we spend about 160 Euro/week (about 210US $) on food/drink/groceries - this includes nappies (diapers) etc I do plan dinners for the week-nights, so know what ingredients to buy. Also I plan my eldest's school lunches so…

^ My hair is completely straight. Boring, really. < feeding my coffee addiction v what's your 'can't live without' food/drink?

^ of the ones that my little ones watch? Well, I don't high-tail it when Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is on :) Beats that dopey Oso any day haha but for myself, I used to love Fraggle Rock. And Button Moon. The Smurfs... :) < It's midnight here and I'm still in the middle of packing for a trip. *sigh* v Do you have any pets?

^None, it's about lunchtime... unless you count cleaning and running after 4 kids? < getting ready to pack for a week holiday we're going on tomorrow!!!!!!! v what's your favourite thing to do to burn some calories?

I reckon your wife is just trying to help you. It's all exercise :wink:

Can't ask him. Would ruin the surprise. Rachel, thanks for the info. Will check out labels to make sure but don't think the cream had added sugar. Why are carrots and kidney beans off? As for the spuds, they're in there just not really that many. Hm... it's like 1/2 potato in each portion. All the above is made into a veg…

This^^^ :D FANTASTIC WORK!!!!!!!!!!!

^ I like sci fi or a good drama :) < finally going to bed!!!!!! v If you could be 5 years old again for a day, what would you do?

LOL.. get a room you two :P <- wishing the kids would fall asleep already (going on midnight here - sleep overs are apparently too exciting to sleep!) v any plans for Easter weekend?

My husband and I have been together for 11 years now. Our wedding anniversary falls on Easter Sunday this year - we'll be 7 years married then :) Is it just me or is it getting itchy here??? :tongue: :laugh:

I usually have a fat-free yogurt or something - if I want to eat more that is.

^ I'd probably party like it's 1999!!!!! :D < sooooooooooooooooooo tired. *yawn* I've forgotten what an uninterrupted night's sleep is! I so need more than 4/5 hours in one go. v What's your favourite sleeping position?

^pineapple, sweetcorn and jalapeno < totally over-tired and on my way to bed v what would you do if you won stupid amounts of money, let's say about 640 million $? LOL... (just need an idea what to do with it now that I won it :tongue: :laugh: )

Hi there :) NSVs - I finally got some compliments of strangers (well, neighbours etc) for having lost weight and I fit into jeans I haven't in so long I don't even remember when the last time was!!! :) SW: 182 CW: 167 GW: 125 so 5 less this month would totally make me happy towards it!! 4/1 4/8 4/15 4/22 4/30 Total lost so…
