most venues and caterers will expect to have a couple of special requests for a wedding, it's part of catering for large numbers, as a caterer I never use nuts incase of a serious nut allergy and if someone has a special diet they always make the host or venue aware of it, if they don't then there is usually something they…

Nothing like a lovely suprise especially when it's in the form of a bouquet of flowers :) what a lovely thought, they mean so much more when they are "just because" well done and keep up the good work :)

A cereal bar and a piece of fruit would be a good start to the day, your body works in a way that if you don't eat breakfast, then by the time you do eat your starving and then over eat to compensate, by eating small regular amounts your body keeps ticking over nicely and the more regular your eating is then the more…

great to see stories like this! they keep the rest of us going and maybe one day I'll post my own :)

you can look on the database to find out what would be the best choice calorie wise before you go out to eat next time, Having noticed that the person that wrote this has not commented I can only guess it is a fake post or she has been put off by the lack of support from some members

well done the exersise really pays off

I only read the 1st page but I'm guessing everyone said the same!! no result would be 0lbs, you have lost 4lb thats a result sometimes you need to play around with mfp you may find that you still lose average 1lb a week even by exercising 3/4 times a week, just keep going with the healthy eating and doing exercise that you…

the scales at my gym measure body fat % so you could look out for some, they have hadles at the side to grip to measure your body fat

play around with the calories v weight loss I found that by aiming to lose 1.5lb a week it made quite a diffance to my allowance and I'm never hungry

I'm 5ft11 almost 5ft12!! I will wear a tiny heel but otherwise I feel far too tall, however I always stand tall as I quite like been tall just don't want to be any taller.....

Mine is also open to friends, one of my mfpals today asked for help and was left quite upset at what one person said, sadly not everyone is positive and helpful with thier comments, I would stick to looking at friends diaries to get meal ideas rather then opening yourself up to the abuse and nastiness that some think is…

I did ww a few years ago and after the first bit of weight loss I also found myself manipulating the way I used my points, I love MFP as it helps me to eat healthly and to make better informed food choices I also like to be able to log my food and exercise. I have lost 26lb in the last couple of months and still have 24lb…

Well done, I have been doing this since March and have lost 26lb at around 3lb every 2 weeks. The plan is really good as you have also realised at showing you just what the calories/fat etc are in food and it certainly helps you to make better choices...... some foods are not quite as appealing when you realise whats in…

by the time you divide the recipe into 8 burgers it should be low carb (9 grams each) for a 1/4lb burger

not big on cottage cheese, does it lose the texture when cooked? I remember someone having a recipe from slimming world along the same lines

put it in to the recipe folder on here and it will work it out per how ever many portions it makes

Clean food is usually food that has been processed as little as possible I think!! Soup is a great one, I prefer it in the winter but as a easy soup recipe you can cook most vegetables in a light vegetable stock (I use powedered stock) then blitz it to your prefered thickness, use the recipe tool on here to work out the…

How about cycling?

1200 calories does'nt seem like much, it maybe worth playing around with the settings and seeing how many calories you get when it is set to lose 1/2lb per week, my mother in law has done this as although she is heavy she has a very sedentary lifestyle and she was only been allowed around 1200 calories (when set to lose 1…

You can add me too..... I am heading towards the 220 mark but I am 5ft 11inch I have set my 1st target to lose 50lb and then plan to set another target or two until I reach a weight/size that I am happy with..... not really sure what that might be. I enjoy going to the gym and cycling when the weathers nice, I also enjoy…

stick at it our bodies have a funny sense of humour sometimes!! I have been stuck for a couple of weeks in the past and now I seem to be losing around 3lb every 2 weeks, I think sometiimes the scales take a while to catch up with the effort you are putting in also when I started excersing more the scales stood still…

well done for thinking ahead thats a great place to start, I would look at the database to see what the calories are in bbq type foods and then choose the best value foods, I find with bbq's and buffets it is easier to get a meal size amount and don't go back, it soon adds up a little bit here and a bit more there, also…

try playing around with the amount of weight you would like to lose, if you enter 11/2lb it may give you more calories and if you find you are sticking later on you can adjust it.... I am set to lose 1 1/2lb per week and over a 2-3 weeks period it does average out like that but it tends to come off in fits and starts, good…
