I have a fitbit ultra, managed to get it on an Amazon Black Friday deal so it helped reduce the cost a bit! I used it initially just to see what my normal activity levels were like and now it's part of my day-to-day to have it on me all the time. I try to hit 10,000 steps per day and I love how it links in with MFP - takes…

Everybody needs to try bunny ears - they're not just for easter!! lol

wow - more muscle tone in one arm than I have in my entire body!! lol

bump bump bump :bigsmile:

Pizza - I can polish off a whole large Dominos myself (not proud of this but just saying....) Chocolate - another case where portion control need not apply! If it's chocolate I will eat it, although sometimes only Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut will do (share size bar, obvs lol)

bump so i can find this again - sounds delish :)

Well done - you must feel fantastic!

Hey all, I've been on-and-off this site a couple of times - keep coming back though, it's the best I've found! Add me too if you like, I'm in Scotland :)

I think everyone has times where they feel like that - I know I do!! I have PCOS and due to other health stuff have been on oral steroids for a few years now - so weight loss is a slow and painful process (but i can put on weight really really easily). Stick in there and keep tweaking till you find what works best for you…

Feel free to add me if you like - I'm up in Glasgow :)

buddies!

Definitely worth asking if there is anything different you can take - I don't know what prep it is you've been given but for me, Klean-prep is a no-go - I just cant keep it down for it to do what it's meant to! In more recent preps I've tolerated picolax much better, I was also given liquid stuff once which was almost…

taken at easter - hence the bunny ears lol

Keeping it pretty plain and bland helps ease things - when I've had a really bad flare I've found the only thing which doesn't irritate me more is porridge, weirdly enough - made with milk too, though as it's cooked it doesnt cause any problems. Taking some light excercise can help ease the discomfort too, even just going…

Another southside girl here :) Add me as a friend if you like!

Wow what an achievement - congratulations!

I've never heard of protein powder being recommended - is there a particular make or brand I should look for to use? My UC is currently grumbling away and causing me bother, not quite in a full-blown flare but would like to avoid that if possible - just want it all to settle down! Protein powder could be worth a shot at…

I would agree, when things get really bad and everything seems to irritate or upset my UC, porridge is my go-to food. There's something about oats cooked in milk which has a really soothing effect, for me anyway. It's one of those things though, you might find that going gluten-free totally works for you - best of luck!

Hi all! My name is Lisa and I'm 34, I've been using MFP for a few weeks now, but only just found this group - what a relief to find others out there who have UC and need to lose weight too! It's a common misconception I think that if you have an IBD then you're really slim because of it. My story to add to the list - well,…
