Amen to this! I'm getting married in September and I am determined to be fit and healthy by that time so that I can look and feel my best. Add me if you would like some support from a fellow bride-to-be! :) x

I've lost a microwave and a guinea pig.. sweet! :wink: Thanks for posting this, it made me giggle!

Doomsday - Nero Not normally a dubstep fan, but this is my best "push it" workout song, hands down.

It is impossible not to! It is part of the same law which also stipulates that I grate at least half a block at a time without realising... whoops.

Ditto! And another vote for red wine... with olives.. And cheese. Nom.

Ooh! I found this quiz very interesting. My results: Emotional Eater: High Big Eater: Low Addictive Eater: Moderately Low Lazy Eater: Very Low People Pleaser Eater: Moderately High Control Freak Eater: Very Low Seems legit ;)

I was weighing myself every day and it was making me neurotic, as like most people I fluctuate so much from day to day. I've had to slowly wean myself off of it, (weighing every two days, then every few, days, and soon it will be back to just once a week.. just to get out of the habit. I've heard a lot of people put their…

Despite the fact that I'm a bit weird with my food and tend to only eat one thing at a time on the plate, rather than combine items, there are several pairings which I just can't get out of my system: I can't eat mozzarella without tomatoes I can't eat biscuits/cookies without tea I can't drink tea without milk I can't eat…

Speaking from personal experience, comfort eating is rarely about the actual food. As you say, even having healthy snacks to hand isn't a deterrent because you can comfort eat pretty much anything. Normally a distraction from dealing with a bigger issue, be that depression, anxiety, anger.. and so I think the only way you…

I think in order to see this is as a sustainable lifestyle choice, you have to give yourself some days off every now and then and be able to enjoy the odd meal out/bottle of wine/family size bag of malteasers without fear of the scales the next day. As long as it doesn't become an everyday occurence, you'll be just fine :)

I'm not sure if it's purely psychological for me, but I do find that I get fuller quicker than I used to. I can no longer eat big meals in one sitting, but then again this might be to do with the healthier choices I am making with the foods I eat. It takes more fat to give you a feeling of satiety than protein or…

A simple ratatouille makes a nice veggie side dish or even a main meal when served with rice. It's very quick and easy, just pop a bit of olive oil in a pan and then throw in a diced red onion, couple of cloves of finely chopped garlic and cook until the onion is soft. Then put in some chopped courgette, aubergine and…

Not sure where you are based, but here in the UK we have instant porridge cups that just require boiling water. They have a bit of skimmed milk powder in to make them taste creamy, and some come with fruit flavours/cinnamon/golden syrup etc. They are my go-to breakfast for preparing at work as I'm always near a kettle and…

That's incredible, you look like a different person! Well done on all your hard work, you should be very proud. I bet you're feeling the difference! :)

I tend to lean towards the rock side of the music spectrum normally, but I like a little pop/club stuff to listen to when I exercise, so my favourite running songs include: Nine Inch Nails - Hand that Feeds Rage against the Machine - Pistol Grip Pump Angelspit - Skinny Little B*tch Rob Zombie - Dragula System of a Down -…
