I've updated my food log - hopefully that helps people see what I'm on about. I'm terrible, I write down what I eat on my notepad in the kitchen so that I can put it on here and then I forget to put it on here haha. I'm going to look up some smoothie recipes as when I do my food shopping at the end of the month I'm…

Because I want a rocking chair

I'll check that out :) it sounds like just what I need. I'm pretty creative until it comes to writing a shopping list and then I just go blank! I used to have this really cool app on my phone that you "liked" recipes and it would build it all into a shopping list and pop the menus on your like list. So as I walked around…

My bad, didn't mean low fat butter - I meant the low cholestrol one lol. Thanks I'll look into getting kale and protein powder :)

I don't have a problem with constructive criticism - if she'd told me I need to eat more calories and offered advice then crack on. But just leaving a comment telling me something I'd already stated? Not really advice! No your harsh commented isn't needed in the slightest. It offers no advice. No I didn't eat too much, I…

Well done for that oh so helpful advice. Can you detect the sarcasm? I know I shouldn't go below 1,200 calories a day. That's why I asked for advice on how to up my calorie intake. As I said, I'm not doing it on purpose and I apologise if this comes across as *****y but I'm trying to get help and comments like that aren't…

It's also used to show it's an active thread

I'm aiming to lose around 50lbs, once I get to that goal I plan to decide if I want to lose more or if I'm happy at that weight. Anyone can feel free to add me :)

I've always LOVED my moms chicken. She stuffs a chicken breast with herby cheese, wraps in bacon and pops in the oven for approx 20 minutes at 200 degrees C. To make it easier for myself I cut the chicken breast into 3 slices. Spread a bit of herby cheese on one side of one slice (still got the flavour but less of it so…

I have 70lb to lose to hit my main target. I may decide to lose more after that, who knows! In 2 weeks I have lost 18lb :D and I know progress will slow down now but just having made such a good start and only having 52lb left to go has been a huge boost. I find keeping track of everything I eat and do for the day is…

Do you have an idea of a clothes size you want to be? Maybe buy a cheap top/dress in that size and every week weigh in and try it on until it fits? That's what I'm doing :) x

Well I'm very proud of myself for today. Did loads of walking and pushing the heavy pushchair which certainly helped my exercise for the day as I couldn't work out properly due to being out all afternoon!! I also resisted temptation from the many cupcakes and burgers and just reminded myself dinner was at home. I have to…

Chiffon is a floaty fabric. An empire line is very lose from your ribs down so that it has a very floaty effect and is very flattering for those that aren't skinny :) x

Hmm about a nice chiffon dress with an empire waist? x

Are you sure? I think you'd like perfect in a sequined halterneck dress. Not sure you could pull off a boobtube one though hehe. Well this site has already put a smile on my face so sod it, I think I shall rade the laptop for one of the pictures I have of myself (in amongst the thousands of my son haha) and upload a…

I feel like it is the perfect description lol. One move in particular that I got stuck with the other night was like the 80's/90's fishy move (where you hold your nose and wiggle down) followed by doing funky chicken arms and spinning in circles. I couldn't help but expect to find out Zumba was filming it and putting it on…

Oh yes I can haha. My son loves a good PJ day :D Doesn't happen very often, maybe once a month? But that suits me perfectly because I love running around after him. But by lazy day I more meant those days when you sit on the floor to play or splash in the paddling pool, as opposed (if that's spelt correctly) to running…

Wow. Thanks for such a fast welcome! I did try to lose weight a while back and was on another website but found they all had their groups and didn't ever speak to me yet my introduction was very similar to this one :S they also slated me for being such a young mother which obviously made me lose interest. I've heard…

Oh my gosh! I officialy love you!! I've just joined here today as me and my mom start our excerice today and I'm also starting my diet. I'll be doing slimfast but I LOVE baking and so thought I'd pop over here to look for some nice dessert recipes that are low in calories. This is perfect and actually looks really good!…
