I too, am from the *kitten* end of nowhere, but as you can tell from my use of the word "*kitten*" I am in the UK and I bet you have nicer weather in Kansas. Think you are right about the running, but you could do some stiff walking.

Would not surprise me. Also from the Guardian a couple of days ago, did you see this? https://www.theguardian.com/food/2020/feb/13/how-ultra-processed-food-took-over-your-shopping-basket-brazil-carlos-monteiro TL:DR Even low fat, low carb "healthy" food probably isn't that good for you it if it has an additional dose of…

"Hard" is fighting cancer. Going without milk in your coffee is not "hard" (It is for me though)

I'm worried that so many of you have clearly thought about this. Not an expert in this field, but Zombies always seem to keep going even when you shoot them. So I'd be thinking flame thrower, combine harvester (is that what they call them in the States?) the safe side of some massive minefield, Any one got a tank?

Well the measurements are always going to be more accurate than the scale and you have done so well!. A higher muscle to fat ratio? Or are your scales just rubbish?

I so want to see Forks over Knives, but it doesn't seem to be out in the UK. Have you seen the "Food Inc" movie? Its primarily Michael Pollan again, so probably nothing you won't know if you haven't read his 2 books, but I hadn't and I found it fascinating. Guessing you aren't in the UK but we have a Radio 4 programme…

food inc Its a belter. What are the films you have seen and what do you recommend?

Well done to you, take pride in your achievement! There's a lot of people out there who would sell their Grannie to have your problem, but I can definitely see the problem and not feeling good in the clothes you are in can be a downer. There has been some good advice viz thrift, ebay and altering your clothes yourself (and…

Well, its not an exact quote and he possibly never even said it, but its attributed to Churchill. Its something like, "Before El Alamein, we never had a victory. After El Alamein, we never had a defeat" And thats not even strictly true. But it does have that vibe, that you if you can take the blows for long enough, you…

RESULT! (And we need more men around here - I'm trying to recruit my brother and my husband to MFP, but they've got this weird idea that its a site for women)

I was *****ing about this to my GP once. I had them after pregnancy. She practically joined in! She advised they would fade over time (and she was right, they've gone totally now although I never had them very much.) She also said that younger mothers lose them faster and are more likely to lose them totally. I see that…

Well done. Yup, I'm torn between between being pleased that there are clothes I'm close to wearing, combined with grieving for the expense of the ones I'm leaving behind.

Non Scales Victory!

I think its worth it. It uploads your stuff to the web, so you can see a 30 day record, integrates well with MFP, which other similar type products don't. I find it very motivational. There is no charge once you've got it unless you upgrade to the fitbit trainer, but I don't think I'd get the benefit of that. You'd…

For me, its not the drink its the fact that it gives me the overwhelming compulsion to start eating crisps and peanuts and the alcohol seems to eliminate my ability to say no. If you don't have my weakness, then as long as your overall calories are low enough then it won't do you any harm. But I guess nutritionally, its…

Gosh, I am sorry to hear that you need this, but good to hear that it is working for you. I had to look up what it is. It didn't indicate that weight gain is a side effect of this stuff. Do you think that it might be the underlying condition, rather than the medication that leads to weight gain? ie if you find it hard to…

Reporting in from Aberdeenshire. Loving these lighter nights, now we've got the weather to do something with them! Feeling v smug as I have walked loads today.:happy:

I usually find the motivation/inspiration stuff posted on pinterest to be pretty demoralising. It seems designed to promote self loathing. It usually features heavily photoshopped models and if you don't work out for hours every week, weren't born with a genetic pre disposition to look like that and have had the lack of…

Hi You look a bit young (and pre menopausal and not female) to be taking calcium, but if you were, you would be advised to to avoid taking any other supplement (except vitamin D, which helps you to absorb calcium) within a couple of hours Other than that, it depends on the doses you are taking. In general if you are taking…
