Hi from South Wales :)

Hi I'm Jen. I did my first ocr last year and loved it so much that I have signed up for three this year (first one is a short (6k) in 12 weeks)

£350/month isn't that bad! We are a family of four and I have spent over £100/week for the last two weeks in Aldi and that doesn't cover everything we eat in a week.

Brian you made me laugh! Great first step, keep putting one foot in front of the other and the pounds will disappear :)

I have PCOS. I will send you an FR

+1

^^^^Yes yes yes!!!!!! What good in life doesn't need some effort?

While we are on the "why?" subject, I have always wondered why vegan diets are perfectly acceptable but paleo/primal ones aren't! I mean we omit grains (but not all carbs) they omit (all) animal products and no-one tells them off!

I'm 34 too and from/living in South Wales. Sent you an FR

Not really into running (unless the kids are that late for school) but I eat and enjoy :drinker: it so will send you an FR :smile:

Our local spar sells individual portions of Nutella with a little stick to eat it with, my daughter loves them!

I have an open diary, unfortunately my logging has been very poor over the last two weeks but if you look before that I was very consistent at logging all my food.

I'm from the UK (as are a lot of people on here) If you put the supermarket/brand name in with the food item you should be able find the right one a lot easier.

^^^^ This! I'm 5' nothing, female in my (ahem) mid thirties and my bmr per scoobyworkshop is 1348, with the recommendation I eat 1450 plus exercise calories to lose 0.5lbs/week I would be super cranky if I ate less than that. BUT what works for some doesn't work for all!

I'm gluten free to help with my PCOS always happy to have new friends x

I LOVE sprouts roasted with bacon (but bacon doesn't stay in our fridge long enough to do it very often).

Hi Matt I'm Jen, always happy to have new friends.

[/quote] yeah he's not a bad starter for 10! [/quote] best bit of the film!

Bump!

[/quote] Oh god no way! I'm 5 ft. I used to be 7 stone and I was a healthy bmi! But I had no muscle now training I don't expect to get anywhere near my old weight as I will be all muscle! And I'm not worried about a gain although I am at the very top of my healthy bmi... I'm just checking that I'm doing it all correctly as…

I'll give it a go!

[/quote] Interesting recipe. I would have never considered eggs with kale. I will be trying this soon. Thanks [/quote] If I have run out of spinach, I will put Kale in my fritattas and enjoy

Depends on why you have to adhere to the diet! I have to be gluten free so a primal diet isn't that far a jump. To be honest I do miss nice bread but have suffered the consequences of testing the intolerance. I don't go as low carb as some do, I love my fruit and veggies too much.

I make "frittata muffins" while I'm cooking dinner and store them in the fridge for the next day or so, works really well when i'm in a rush in the mornings.

Hi, I'm Jen Always happy to have new friends, I'll send you an FR x

nom nom paleo does a Larabar recipe

Not sure if this will help with the texture, but I have wrapped them up in smoked salmon (lox?) or parma ham (prosciutto) before and that was really nice.

Sightseeing usually involves lots of walking. You'll be fine, just enjoy the holiday!

Thanks guys, FRs sent
