Nice! Put me off fat forever!

Is it true that muscle weighs more than fat??? Not too sure and I know someone will correct me if I am wrong, but if you check your BMI, I am sure it will be less than when you started exercising.

I can't really do any jogging, comes from my RAF days, when I had to stop jogging as my knees gave way, So I do a little exercise at home, and when I am able I go swimming, have you tried that at all? But the best exercise I have found so far is cycling! I hadn't been on a bike for 18 years, and then a mate bought one with…

Thanks for that, glad to know I am on the right track, I suppose if you are only using a couple of teaspoons of protien powder at a time then the £18 cost of a large tub, works out pretty cheap in the end! I'll give it a go, thanks again :happy:

I agree with the post about getting rid of the cookies, in that if they aint there you can't eat them. But where do you store the cookies? If you have fruit in the same place then you can eat that instead. The good thing about it is you can probably eat 3 apples to the equivelent value of 1 cookie. Now one cookie won't…

It is pretty much the same in Europe, I suppose my problem is that I have been a bit too lazy to actually have a look around for cheaper fresh food - but not anymore! Now the way I see it I can burn calories whilst at the same time looking for things to reduce my calorie/fat intake - win - win situation :) I am going to…

Just started in the last couple of days to get in the fresh stuff and make up my own sauces and things, then freeze them. I can't freeze too much as I only have a small freezer, and a lot of that is taken up by my kids stuff (I have them every weekend, otherwise it's just me). The good thing is thanks to all your advice on…

wow thanks so much for the excellent replies and advice, I will certainley take heed of these. Good luck to everyone else by the way :)

I was the same in that I didn't seem to be losing so much, mainly because I was trying to eat less than my recommeded amount of calories per day. But when I started eating within 100 of the recommended amount, and drinking more water, the weight started to come off. I have had a couple of blips, but now weigh myself 1st…

Because of my work as a service engineer, I only generally get time to log my data in the evening, after dinner, and after I have done a little bit of home excersising. I know it is acurate as I keep the part of the packaging with me, until I log it all. That way I don't miss any items off the count (how many times have…

WOW!!! All I can say is thanks for all the positive responses, certainly has made me think! First thing I am gonna do is not make my diary private. Some of the things I am eating I have 'created' myself so might be of help to others. Marmite chicken anyone :laugh:

Hi! This will be my first post, started the 'new me' regime 2 weeks ago and seem to be on track OK. Good luck to everyone!
