since when was metformin a diet drug? its for treatment of diabeties and insulin resistance, unfortunately some of us have no choice but to go on metformin because our hormones are THAT bad even with weighing less. all my dr said was 'lose weight' but no indication on what to do and what would work. metformin hasnt helped…

Its a good read, it had a fantastic segment on advertisers using pester power from kids by advertising to them. a bit like toy companies.and just how much sugar is even in 'healthy cereals' If you're addicted to the high/good factor of salt/fat/sugar, will power might not cut it with so much advertisements about. Kinda…

I giggle when its full of junk and they have diet soda. I always share a trolley so no idea what people think of mine, dont care either lol

last place it was to go on, is the first place it comes off its not uncommon for my bottom half to be a size bigger than my top half (fitted dresses are a nightmare) Are you exercising and eating adequate protein? as it may not of just been fat you lost (sorry cant see your diary)

Eat more veg instead :)

I exercised for long before diet/lifestyle came in to it. started gyming 8 years ago (about 2 years after i got dignoased with PCOS) but then used it as an excuse to eat extra, gained weight a bit too much. eating properly started about 2007 for a holiday (low gi diet) which worked well but felt lathageric all the time and…

Been the fat girl in yoga, and kept going noone pays attention to you apart from the teacher, since you are meant to be listening to your own body throughout it. (they are trying to not fart during a pose or snore during relaxation).

20% carbs 45% protein 35% fat

apologies Meridian http://www.amazon.co.uk/Meridian-Natural-Crunchy-Peanut-Butter/dp/B00A79CJNA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365778016&sr=8-1&keywords=peanut+butter+meridian myprotein peanut butter is just got from myprotein.com both do almond and cashew butter too (and meridians hazelnut butter is delish also)

I use one from myprotein, or meridans, both have no added salt/sugar so they are basically squashed nuts, i dont know if you have those though.

If you suffer from a metabolic disorder (diabeties, insulin resistance) calories arent all equal, atleast not for me :( From personal experience (and being insulin resistant due to pcos), I collapse/faint if i dont eat until 1pm (same goes if i eat cereal i end up on the floor too cause of the sugar drop). I even failed a…

If it comes down to safety, im for it if it comes down to money grabbing by airlines, im not for it Maybe they should do a BMI chart of flight fees!

2 full eggs 6 tbsp of egg whites from 2 chicks the usual spinach and red pepper or ham or one of my newest favourits Banana (slice or mash) with peanut butter (can be any nut butter, it works beautifuly!)

If you are about to puke, dont go if not, go I always feel fantastic after a body attack class when hungover. Butttttt this could be the excuses starting ;)

Mine is brown at the start and the end of my cycle, in the middle days its red. But shade of it depends how iron rich my diet has been and when i last decided to have it , or atleast thats what i've noticed. With being on the pill I sometimes dont fancy it every month.

Your whole head sweats, no it doesn't keep your hair clean they are really just used by alot in the place of headbands to keep hair back, and to stop that dreaded sweat from head down to face, into eyes scenario.

Love it, love it, love it just the natural stuff which is basically squashed nuts (no added salt or sugar) in kilo tubs tried hazelnut butter too, its quite tastey too

I use gloves, i find they keep me focused on what i want to get done, were as without them i found 'flounce off' and do treadmill I dont think he was being a douche, i think he was trying to flirt with you. Men in the weight training rooms are relatively friendly, One came over and asked did i want to use his weights when…

They are useful when you cant be bothered eating large amounts of food to get your protein up. I like myprotein and phd diet whey, both seem to mix really easily with water.

I think you should do it and tell us the results :D! But i dont get it, peoples 'normal' eating resulted in them gaining weight so why do they want to go back to that, instead of redefining and re-evaluating their term of 'normal'. Or when people think you revert back to 'normal' that you are going to do the same, and then…

just lead by example i had a friend who was the same, but kept complaining about medical problems caused by her weight, making excuses, the whole trying to encourage her never worked. however said friend through gentle encouragement and seeing me enjoying eating well, and exercising, has decided to take the baton (thinking…

In mainly so i can see this later But im waiting on the 'if it fits your cals it shouldnt matter what you eat' thing that seems to be going on here now (But to some of us, the type of food we eat does matter cause our bodies are different, although please switch a 'normal functioning' body with mine!)

I dont eat bread and pasta, it bloats me and reacted badly with my sugar (i AM insulin resistance cause of PCOS) giving rushes and crashes. I feel so much better not including these in my diet, even if they would of fitted my macro's. Being Irish i cant stop eating potatoes simply cause it ias a large part of diet, however…

Yes mainly cause I have less fat for insulation! thankfully noone notices tights under dresses (even maxi dresses) that much so they dont question it lol

Half the time, its the only way my feet can touch the floor ;( spine up seems more natural to me, but been told to straight spine it Hence the comment ^_~

I will wait until she is older to admit a girl crush, her lifting with pigtails, hilarious! She is Russian, ofcourse she got taught perfect technique from comrade! (tee hee hee had to say it) I always found it hard to bench with a straight back, i'm glad i dont do it 'properly' now =/ (spend more time thinking of your back…

Yes that would be it (apologies im in work, so was working) i love her cause she is a wee local.

What is considered normal? I consider normal to eat healthy (as in very little processed food to none at all, my body doesnt appreciate processed and high carb/sugar sources). I find all the ones who eat all the processed 'diet' meals to be the not 'normal', if you look up Zoe Salmon when she made a mini documentary on…

Yes I went from a UK size 7 down to a UK 4.5-small 5

Why not just find out what changed in the general diets that made people starting getting bigger and fatter? Why was virtuely noone overweight during wars? cause they were on rations Why were people thin prior sugar being available everywhere? cause sugar was expensive, so if you were fat or overweight you were seen to…
