Can I recommend a program series on uk tv? It is called secret eaters and is a channel 4 program, it can be viewed on the channel 4 web site. You have worked out the strategies for yourself- what insight. Jas

Toned, taught and tremendous Jas

Don't eat less than BMR but don't eat more than TDEE and you wiill loose the right sort of weight. :smile: Jas

If it is easier get in the pool and move. Easier on the joints too.

Yes it's correct. And the colder the water the more you'll burn! Jas

Lovely shape

Mine is the same on my tummy and more cellulite. Have persuaded myself it's because the muscles are firmer so a greater contrast. It makes me feel better even if deluded. What I want to know is how the fat shifts around to the parts I dislike most at anyone time. It is an overnight thing! It's currently heading to my inner…

I lack the enzyme to digest albumin: raw egg white! But can have eggs cooked when the protein is deanimated. So it's no big deal!

Her skin will eventually be sorted, it may shrink, she may have a tummy tuck. She may have lost a child late in pregnancy but rudeness even if not intended will never be fixed. If you really want to know ask a mutual friend..... Besides she has done amazingly well if she has slimmed down, she could be me or any of the…

I found I needed to 'split my dinner' have a protein source an hour or so before I went to the gym, plenty of water then a small meal after. My bloods remained between 6.7 and 7.5 that way, stabilised. Now I have lost weight and exercise found I no longer need metformin. have started today to track my glucose on my…

You look wonderful at your new weight. (but you were lovely before anyway)

Thought it was an advert for a trainer???

Whilst we are talking being on the road here to your ultimate goal. it is better to taken off 35 lb and taken off 166lb and put it all back on. that is 35 blocks of 1lb of butter...... A part way to your goal and might i say the part which has the greatest impact on your health, the part which makes it possible to move, to…

Level of water in the bath is lower with one pool not two. One behind and one in front connect!

Bump: loving this thread getting tons of ideas!

Please don't 'stretch' a cold muscle (see Bathesebas advice)- think you could do damage to tendons this way. Otherwise sounds good to me. Jasmin

Agree with all the above Check its a 'nice' muscle pain/soreness and is generally in most muscles as then it arises because of stored by products including lactic acid- second day is worst- try gentle stretching and very gently move, move, move. Saunas will help as will baths and heat in general as it increases circulation…

As much as the physical change is impressive (you were beautiful before too). I loved reading about your change of attitude and lifestyle. A living proof that with hard work, grit and determination then it is possible to change. You are realisitic too and am grateful you told us your regime. Wonderful! Jasmin

Studies show that age is largely irrelevant (fortunately): there is only ususally a positive correlation with calories burned and age because of loss of muscle mass because of lack of exercise. It is muscle mass that counts, an older person with good muscles will burn more calories than a younger one of the same sex who is…

MFP and my friends on it Fitbit Ultra Heart rate monitor Blood sugar checker Thermometer (for me not the food) My slow cooker (for yummy slow cooked fatless recipes) My Wok (for fast cooked yummie recipes) Plain whey protein powder (for thickening sauces etc, and as a base for ice cream) Low cal jelly (i make sweets with…

Agree

Sorry my post posted too early and got logged off so could not correct until now

Essential on some foods and measuring spoon for oils. I don't bother with lettuce though.......LOL

You can add less calorie dense foods that will fill you up rather more. Celery, cucumber and carrot are good. An old trick is to add a vegetable soup and an undressed salad to every meal, this slows stoach emptying and helps you feel full. I have to 'trick' my hunger until the next meal and I have a couple of recipes (on…

You are living on very dense processed food with artificial ingredients. Am surprised that you don't have problems at the business end as well! From your food diary this may not be sustainable and after the initial period you may want to try something more natural, filling and add more caloriesl. But guess you are 'quick'…

Depended- at the start did the odd modified move but as time went on more and more advanced Whatever I could manage

Please see your doc there can be quite a few causes of this ranging from diet, hormones to fibroids. Please make sure you have the gynae checks too. Jas

I bought a pair of cycling shorts with the gel; looked like a nappy but saved my skin Jas
