Cold showers are good for you!!!!! :D LOL

You can't be stuck for 'a couple of day' or even a week......you shouldn't weigh yourself every day - once a week is more than enough. Your weight can fluctuate by 2-3 lbs in just a few hours and as someone said, a different exercise or a bit of water retention or the time of the month can cause you not to show a loss.…

I have very broad shoulders as does my sister - there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. I can feel every bone in my shoulder joints and no matter how much weight i lose it ain't gonna change. Neither my sister nor I look in the least 'manly'. Stop dwelling on what some stupid 'ex' said and do the activities YOU…

If you hate the British people so much I suggest you buy yourself a plane ticket and get yourself back to Poland. There you can employ as many non Brits as you like since British people are not flocking to your country to take all the jobs. Don't bother saying goodbye - you won't be missed.

'they ate a vegetarian diet, exercised moderately, and didn't smoke or drink' ....my guess is that 'exercised moderately and didn't smoke or drink' contributed more to their longevity and health than vegetarianism. It's a matter of choice and if you want to be vegetarian/vegan for medical or ethical reasons....fine and…

It's not addiction....it's GREED, plain and simple.

Absolutely right!

Fantastic! Well done, you look amazing.

That, I'm afraid, is not the case. Many young adults do have jobs but to say 'most' is wishful thinking.

Yes the problem IS with the non attenders. If someone has been given an interview time and they are going to be late or if they have found another job and won't be attending or if they can't attend for some reason, you seem to think the interviewer should contact them. NO....it is a simply case of manners that these people…

Tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, gerkins, pickled red onion slices, olives, feta cheese, edaname beans, asparagus tips, green beans, french beans, mint leaves, basil leaves, raw courgettes, raw mushrooms....... some or all of these with low fat honey & mustard dressing ....with low fat humous in a wholemeal pitta bread.

'Failing to plan is planning to fail' ....it's very true. I plan my meals a day ahead then my eating is mapped out and I stay within my calories etc.

That's what I do too. I go to the gym to work out....if I want to chat I'll go somewhere else.

Definitely crazy.......like all these daft fads

Bumping this up the forum

Your wife likes Subway.......OK...but why do you have to eat it? My OH likes Big Macs but I never touch them. Get her to bring the Subway home then you can make yourself something else. You say you can't process lettuce but salads are not just about lettuce. What about the other veg that's available?

Absolutely not! You're looking for a 'quick fix' and that's not what this site is about. Proper weight loss really depends on a complete change of eating habits which can be sustained on a permanent basis. Your method cannot be sustained - you are consuming far too few calories for the amount of exercise you are doing. You…

As everyone else said - do this for you! Losing weight for someone else will NOT work. Do this to make you feel better about yourself since your confidence has been dealt a blow and you're feeling hurt and angry, certainly - but also do it to look forward to a better future. Also remember that there are decent guys out…

NO..thinking that is just deluding yourself! Eating a really large heavy meals does not cause lots of calories to pass through before being absorbed. If that was the case we could all eat huge meals all the time and none of us would be fat.....I wish!!!! A large meal just takes longer to be digested but the calories stay…

Salted caramel, chocolate chip cookies!

Many reasons.... they reach a goal for specific occasion (wedding or whatever) - then go back their old ways someone tells them they're too thin they think they look great now now and that they'll stay that way whatever they do ( just like people on medication feel better so stop taking the meds) it isn't working fast…

Mis-diagnosed as having an over active thyroid and being given medication, taking the contraceptive pill, stopping smoking.........all these contirbuted. Being too lazy to exercise enough and eating too much finished it off!

It isn't the coffee, it's what you put in it that adds calories. Flavour syrups are loaded with sugar and cals. Then you add the milk/cream/creamer and the sugar and you're way over budget!!! Calling these drinks 'skinny' is a con. Most ground coffee is a max of 2 cals per cup and Kenco Millicano Wholebean Instant is zero…

So 400/2200 alternately....I can't see how this can be better than 1300 per day.......and if it makes you hungry...... But you have do what works works for you!

[/quote] [/quote] What a load of BS!! I have osteo- arthritis in both my hips and in my lower back - my doctor told me to lose weight to take the strain off my joints. Obviously the heavier you are the more weight your joints have to bear. To the poster whose hips hurt after losing - see your doc - the pain has nothing to…

16 oz of what? You need to have a balanced diet .... so 16oz of just protein is not a good idea but neither is 16oz of just green veg or 16 oz of popcorn!! Rather than just going by the weight of your meal you need to be aware of the calories. Use the settings to establish the calorie allowance for your height, weight and…

Oh.....and don't freak out if you have a small gain occasionally. You are not a failure and the world won't end. It can happen for many reasons and so long as it's just occasional, you just jump right back 'on the wagon' and keep going.

Too many people use the 'if it fits in your mouth' philosophy :wink:

Salmon may have a high calorific value but the nutritional value is so immense it's worth it.
