Red peppers, courgettes, aubergine, mushrooms, onions, cut into chunks. Place in roasting tin. Sprinkle with chilli powder and smoked paprika. Drizzle with olive oil. Put into pre-warmed oven at 180 degrees C for about 20 mins - enjoy! :happy:

The useful burn makes it twice as important! Log it!

Welcome! We all have fluctuations in weight - it's usually due to water retention, so don't let it get you down. I keep an eye on the inches lost which always makes me feel better. I'm on here everyday and would love to give/receive motivation. I'll send a friend request. All the best of luck :flowerforyou:

Hi! Feel free to add me - I log in everyday :happy:

Welcome! Feel free to add me!:smile:

Welcome! I've found the help from my MFP friends invaluable. This is the only time I've managed to stick to a weight loss programme and really enjoyed life at the same time. I'll send you a friend request. Wishing you all the very best :flowerforyou:

Hi! I took advice from another friend on MFP. As you burn a different amount of calories depending on your weight, you use this formula: 3.265 x your weight = calories burned doing 30 day shred for 1 hour. Then divide this by 3 to give the total burned for 1 x 20 minute workout. I put it into my exercise list as "add an…

Welcome! I certainly find the diet and exercise easier with my friends on MFP. I'm on here everyday and would be happy to give/receive motivation. I'll send a friend request. All the very best :smile:

Welcome! I've had great results with MFP - everyone is very supportive. Best of luck! :smile:

Welcome! Wow haven't you done well so far! I'm on here everyday and wish you the best of luck. I'll send you a friend request :smile:

Lol! 50 is definitely the new 30 - but I'm still 18 on the inside :laugh:

Hi! I'm the same height as you and on about the same calories. Happy to give and receive support. All the best! :smile:

Hi! I.m in the UK. I'll send you a friend request. Best of luck!

All going well so far :happy:

May I suggest that you look up Noah Webster (1758-1843). His first dictionary was available to the American market in 1806. It contained the variations of the English spelling of some words that are used today. There was some movement to "simplify" these words in the UK at the time as well, but it wasn't popular. So both…

I have been amazed by the way cauliflower can be substituted for carbs. Grated and lightly steamed or microwaved with a tablespoon of water is terrific instead of rice or pasta and yes - it is filling! Mashed in place of potatoes is also great - especially with a little low fat creamed cheese. Have you tried rice cakes…

I couldn't agree more! I've had 5 as well aged from 10yrs to 29yrs. Stretch marks are a beautiful part of being a woman. I'm just happy to concentrate on losing the fat underneath 'em :smile:

Hi! I only know 2 other women apart from me who hate clothes shopping and one of them is my mother! I've come to the conclusion that it's because my wardrobe only has clothes in it that cover up my size and not many things that I really like. At 50 I don't follow the latest fads but I would like to wear clothes that I feel…

Hi! I love your pattern for crocheted food! I love crafting too and I've just started to crochet a blanket for my granddaughter due in November! Please feel free to add me as a friend :happy:

Hi! I'm on everyday and hope I can give you some support please feel free to add me :happy:

Welcome! I've just started the 30DS! Haven't you done well with your weight loss! I couldn't agree more that we need the support of our friends on MFP - please feel free to add me :happy:

I think that along with fitness and weight loss comes confidence and self belief. My feelings of being overwhelmed are rapidly being replaced with knowing that I can achieve my goals, be it in small steps. I am sure that as time goes on you will not have doubts but will feel that the calorie counting and exercise are…

If you're ok dancing, have you tried brazilian dancing? There are some good dvd's which means you can do it in your lounge (you don't need a lot of space) :smile:

As tempting as it may be, try to weigh yourself just once a week and take measurements too. Sometimes there is little or no change on the scales as you develop more muscle, but notice your body tightening up. MFP is a great place for encouragement so stick at it and I'm sure you will soon see a difference I'll send you a…

Welcome Lacey! I find filling up on salad or stir fry veg keeps the hunger down and the calories low. I've sent you a friend request. All the very best :)

Hurrah! Lost another pound and this challenge has certainly helped me up my water intake. Best of luck for the next 6 weeks everyone! :happy:

Fantastic! Well done! :happy:

You look fantastic! So inspirational. Well done!

I agree - drink the good stuff, but less often and you appreciate it more, lose weight and consume less units which has got to be better for you. :)

Thank you for your comments on this. I haven't tried a Jillian DVD before, but am having 'The Collection' delivered tomorrow. Your points have been very helpful:smile:
