  • I buy 1lb of fresh turkey breast steaks from Waitrose (UK) for £4.99, which equates to $8.33. 600g of strawberries (1.32lbs) is £3.00, which is $5.01 2.5g of potatoes (5.5lbs) is £2.95, which is $4.93 Dozen eggs is £3.10, which is $5.18. Waitrose is by no means the cheapest supermarket, so I would think pikey places like…
  • Rickmansworth, Herts. Sent you a friend request.
  • Hi there, I am in Hertfordshire. Sent you a friend request.
  • Get a windows phone, not only does the scanner not work, the app cr@ps out after a day or two. On the plus side, it has helped me make more of an effort to eat fresh grub! I hope the storms in South Wales haven't affected you too badly.
  • You all need years of therapy
  • If it is just weightloss you want at the moment then get in that gym and start doing some light cardio. Personally I can't stand cardio, but I do it because it works. You want to do something that leaves you out of breath and perspiring (or glowing in your case). Experiment with all the machines and pick one that you can…
  • I find cardio is a real appetite suppressant for me. Also, when you exercise you probably drink a lot more water which fills you up. On my non-exercise day I am ravenous too. All I can suggest for you is to prepare your meals that fit your macros beforehand, either physically or in your head. Get into a routine, force them…
  • You're not logging any water at all. If that isn't an oversight I suggest you get some down your neck :). The relatively high sodium intake and lots of coffee could be dehydrating you. Water fills you up and cleanses.
  • I listen to TuneIn radio, the comedy channel while I am doing exercise. You have to be careful in case you laugh so hard you fall off the machine or drop the barbell, but it certainly passes the time.
  • That's interesting, MFP has my recommended protein at 69 a day. I'll try what you say and increase it. I'll also start doing some strength training, thanks for the tips. Thanks for all the advice everyone. I think my problem has been focusing too much on getting my protein and I have taken my eye off the overall calories…
  • Thanks guys, I am going to look up some sweet potato recipes. It's not something I have had very often and I fancy a change. I'll try nuts too, but have to find a way to make them palatable as they can be very dry on their own. Can't stand peanut butter, but wifey has just bought some almond butter which sound intriguing.…
  • I've made my diary public. I'm trying to avoid bread though, it makes me sleepy and I don't want to exercise afterwards. But thanks for the rice and pasta ideas.
  • I've always hated cardio, but joined the gym at work and tried the cross trainer and rowing machine. When I first tried the cross trainer I was aiming for 5 minutes on level 1, but fell off it in a heap after 4 minutes. Now I use it as a warm up machine, doing 10 minutes on level 4. Same for the rowing machine, I started…
