to date 112 pounds over 3 years with another 42 to go. a few up and downs along the way but its a marathon not a sprint as they say :)

it was apparently during the riot in croydon last night. link to bbc below http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-14462693

Sue the guy who died today was shot in his car in Croydon by persons unknown. not by the police however, cowardly and sad. There is no excuse. My town appears to be on alert for trouble later too. I hope that this is unfounded and being spread by troublemakers.

I came home from holiday to be greeted by the news that all over London and then the country pockets of opportunistic thieves not protesters I hasten to add, destroy, bully and rob from their own community. They have no excuse its not mindless at all, they have a mind to choose the most negative path they can. To the lady…

beans, romaine lettuce, broccoli all have good high protein counts. You could start slowly and cut out red meat, keep fish and chicken for a couple of times a week. found this really useful, not as a diet but a guide to which foods are high in protein but not calori dense. http://www.drfuhrman.com/

welcome!! and good luck on the journey

oh fab i will have to look out for that. I made the brownies and they were too good!

i agree with the nuts comment. I have tried to keep it to the minimum because i have noticed that the weight isn't coming off as much as i would have expected. Losing a pound or so rather than the 2pound i was aiming at. Not complaining though as long as it is still going down and not up!! I am not sure yet about a…

I'm still not fully raw but have gone back to a full veggi diet. Im about three months into an elimination diet and do feel well on it. Had a disaster with my lunch today but I think I had a bad batch of broccoli! I don't know if I will stay fully raw but I figure a large proportion would be better than nothing. I don't…

fantastic! Its quite difficult to convince others that i am eating healthy so i dont bother lol. not looking forward to eating out at a chinese though :( I am looking forward to the tacos. All suggestions and recipes will be greatfully received :)

OMG I have just made chocolate brownies!! Well the raw version. I love this woman and her recipes. These could be fatal given i gave up chocolate months ago hehe 1 1/2 cups walnuts (unsoaked) 8 pitted dates (unsoaked) 1/3 cup carob powder water I added some dried strawberries too. blitz a 1/4 cup of the nuts and leave to…

Thanks for the taco recipe, sounds really good!! I cannot even begin to call myself vegan either :) I dont know whether the cashews i bought constitute raw, they are just not roasted lol. I have gone with whatever my budget can stretch too. Not even sure how to log the calories today. I think i am going to have to spend…

Cashew Mayo (cannot take credit for this) 1 cup soaked cashews juice of half a lemon clove of garlic (they suggest garlic powder but i find this repeats on me) tb spoon olive oil tb spoon flaxseed oil salt & pepper 2 pitted dates - i soaked my nuts for 45 mins but i guess longer is better blitzed the whole lot in the food…

well todays new recipe (to me at least) was a cashew mayo, very tasty! Very fortunate to live near Brighton where there are two really good vege cafes. Has anyone checked out raw food made easy by jennifer cornbleet? Spent most of this morning watching her youtube videos just to try and get some new ideas for dressings etc.

hi there, i also have pcos! After a couple of years of struggling i have finally found something that works and have lost the most yet and am my lowest weight in years. Fortunately i am quite lucky as my mother in law is a final year holistic nutrionist and has guided me in most things. So the crux of my lifestyle change…

Good luck!!! I am going to come down and cheer on the runners tomorrow and have a stroll :)

hi welcome!! Add me as a friend and we can support each other. I love this site... bit obsessed but all in a good way :)

mix up your calories. 1600 x 7 = 11200 calories over the whole week. Rather than eating exactly 1600 everyday give different days a different goal for example monday = 1200 tuesday = 1400 wednesday = 1800 thursday = 1500 friday = 1600 saturday = 1800 sunday = 1500 that probably doesn't add up to 11,200 but you get the…

8774 + 13 = 8757

hi, its fab i am completely obsessed (but in a good way). Love the fact that its free! I was over 322 pounds at present i am 262 with about 66 more before i am at my happy weight. Going well so far. :)
