I think we should all reward ourselves with a bacon snack of our choice this weekend.. ONLY if we have been good this week!

oh i love a BLT with nice bag of fresh iceberg!!!

Haha! way to go on the bacon thread!!! But.. deciding question... Ketchup, Brown sauce or NAKED??? :laugh:

Thanks will have a look into this

Having 'slow digestion' (apparently) i always get a stitch if i eat before exercise.. i tend to have yoghurt and or smoothie when i get in today i added a slice of toast! Was Yum! I get up at 6am to exercise so also i don't have time to have breakfast let it settle and then head to the gym before work.

Like i said earlier i went on a starvation binge cycle which is why i've piled on the pounds before that i was just restricting. Now i'm fed up and i just want to be healthy and toned and have muscles!! I've messed up my metabolism and i know i 'm going to have to work hard to put it right and lose weight but i do 100%…

I'm not vegetarian i'm just lazy i guess.. I want to try and cook more with chicken and beef that will help i guess. The other issue with buying things out of packets is that it gives me the calorie content on the outside so i can know definately how many calories i've had and also make a choice on what i want for lunch…

Your two cents are right thou.. i went through a binge starvation cycle and actually put on nearly 2 stone as my body is just hanging onto the fat and i'm struggling to shift it..

Thanks for your advice and input. I am making a life style change by trying to eat more and exercising i just get frustrated that after 6 weeks of gym i haven't lost any weight or toned up. Consistancy is an issue for me food wise.

Yes. Its been an issue for a few years now and i think this is why i'm struggling so much. I'm seeing my doctor for something else on Wednesday and was going to speak to him about this too..

I don't want to make my diary public.. this is what i've had today; Breakfast - weight watchers yoghurt and Banana Mid morning snack - Grapes Lunch - weight watchers yoghurt and packet of sunbites Mid afternoon snack - apple tea - Tortelini with salad and new potatoes Evening snack - 1x slice of bread with coleslaw ( like…

I have been doing cardio now for 6 weeks and am going to start throwing some weights into the mix from tomorrow! So many people tell me it's so good for weight loss as it breaks down the fat in a better way rather then just burning cals?? We will see! :happy:

Makes me smile everytime i read that :happy:

Since using MFP i've been trying to eat more.. I've really screwed up :cry: I will get there.. just got to stick it our and eat more and carry on exercising.

Thanks that's really helpful will have a look on there. I've really messed my body up. I just want to be healthy and fit now.

I read on the live strong website you should should have a blow out day to help your metabolism.. http://www.livestrong.com/article/247150-how-to-get-your-body-out-of-starvation-mode/

LorinaLynn Your ticker is really cool! Good for you. you look so toned as well!

I'm in a rut at the mo as i starved myself for months and lost a stone then i went into a binge/starvation cycle and am now overweight! Now i have managed to control the binges but am still restricting and not loosing anything. In fact I don't think i've ever looked this fat! i eat approx 600 cals a day. I'm thinking from…

I'm also after Kittens in this thread..

Hi I did the same. I was 11 Stone and decided to lose some weigh. In September I was 9.10 then by January had gone up to a whopping 11stone! Too many social events i.e. weddings, Christmas and corporate events with too much alochol and unhealthy food. I'm so mad at myself for undoing all my hard work. Like you say i…

I am quite new only lost 2lbs and have 22 to go to get to my ultimate goal. I'm in a rut as i'm not really seeing results i'm straying.. I heard the other day a good saying.. "It takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing. 8 weeks for your friends to notice and 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice. Give it…

Thanks guys for your advice seriously I don't take Offence to any comments or opinions and appreciate all your feed back. Without going into to much detail I used to be overweight and lost a large amount of weight due to stress. Since this time I have a low appetite and do not enjoy eating. Its more of a chore and prefer…

check this site out lots of simple receipes using Milk or Frozen Yoghurt or Soy http://www.smoothie-recipes.com/healthy/ Let me know if you come across any yummy ones! Only problem is they don't confirm calorie content but i'm sure I could work it out from the ingredients.

I have seen some real simple receipes that just involvd Ice, Low fat yoghurt and fruit i'll get you a link if i can find them again. I don't want to be out buying lots of exotic ingredients that i wouldn't usually stock.

Honestly I don't like eating its a chore. I think u and bfbooty are along the right track might look at making my own smoothies that way I can have lots of fruit in it too.. I do like yoghurts and cuppa soups mostly for lunch

No offence taken I do appreciate everyone's opinion on this and you're sounds like a real good idea could make my own smoothies will have a look at some recipies. I could have them for breakfast and lunch or make a soup for lunch. Given me a few ideas to think of thanks :)

Thats good advice actually.. i have some slimming shakes left over so will try them they are like 200 cals a shake but i suppose that's ok right? I could have one for breakfast, one for lunch and heatly/normal tea and healthy snacks..

My doctor constantly tells me i have low blood pressure 'Incredibly Low, Dangerously Low' but there is no treatment for low blood pressure so there is nothing they will do about it! I also get headaces after exercising i just drink lots of water and that tends to help.
