As far as I am aware they've been around for donkeys years - they are just being repackaged as miracle noodles to jump on the diet bandwagon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirataki_noodles There you go, not a fad, just never been picked up by the dieting brigade until fairly recently. For people who - like noodley food but…

Re having no flavour - how much flavour does the noodle in your singapore vermicelli or pad thai actually have? It's a bland base around which you concoct your dish. And don't go into it thinking they will be yucky. Rinse, dry fry, use - then say thank you Nixy for being so durn convincing :laugh:

Ok guys, I am a serious convert to shirataki noodles And it all comes down to how you prepare them. There is a great thread on here about them - let me see if I can find it http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/667310-let-s-talk-about-shirataki-noodles-the-continuation?hl=shirataki+noodles - there you go. Most important…

Compression shorts and tank - or a onesie? Unitard type thing, should hold it all in place :) Nice loss by the way :)

SOME NEW RUBBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done you :)

Dude, you are amazeballs. RESPECT!

Thanks guys. You know what, I knew all that - I just needed to hear it again :smile: I know you're all right, I know the times I have lifted I have loved it and I can never say that about the hours I used to spend on the treadmill. I just had a wobble before I invested in all the weights *excited jump* Thanks particularly…

I did a bit of Googling and I probably need to drink more water/go back to oatmeal lol

Fan-flipping-tastic! So proud of you honey XXX

Hey you, you can lose that muffin top but he'll ALWAYS be a douche. Win for you x

My girlfriend weighs the same as me but is 3 inches taller so carries her weight better. Let me tell you, apart from the fact I'm quite femmey and she's andro so we don't have the same taste in clothes - I don't want us to be wearing the same size clothes, let alone the same ones! I am determined to be smaller than her. We…

Love that website!

Weights for me please :)

Yay! I had this last Friday - best feeling so far :)

That's a nice list, well done you!

I've chosen to pretty much stay away from alcohol for a couple of reasons - at 42 being a big party animal is even less attractive then it is in your 20s and my social circle are HUGE party animals. Right before I started this I spent 2 weekends in a row drinking until I was sick - it was my lightbulb moment and so now I…

- A good book and a cup of tea in a steaming bubble bath - Walking the puglets - whatever the weather, whatever my mood - I leave the house in one mood but always walk back into it with a smile on my face and peace in my heart - Cooking! Man I love to cook, especially for people I love. It's always a pleasure, never a…

Do the same for roast cauli that you would for roast broccoli Roast as mentioned then squeeze lemon juice and lemon zest over it - add a sprinkling of parmesan and some basil leaves and BOOM! Best veg ever!

Ok, if this was me....................... You know, thinking back over all my ex's there isn't a single one now I would touch with a sh*tty stick. If I left them - well I'm obviously not going back. If they left me - then I wasn't what they needed and probably am not now. And All or nothing, if it's gone it's gone and…

I love overnight oatmeal. I admit I did expect it to thicken up overnight the first time I made it but I just make sure I don't put too much liquid in and then I slice a banana in when I'm ready to eat it - yum. I vote 'just fine' :)

Baby steps honey. When everything looks awful and undoable, when your total weight loss seems like a mountain to climb, when life is kicking you in the proverbials - baby steps. You're here and that's the first one. Come here every day - step 2 Log everything you eat no matter what - step 3 Start trying to make SOME…

Photos. I am a mirror avoider, I think I went about 18 months without really looking at my body in a mirror - so if I could get into clothes then I was fine and then I started buying bigger clothes and that was fine. Photos show you how you really are - if you're brave enough to look at them.

Never ever EVER too late. Ever. :)

Also define successful :) There are lots and lots of stories on here about people losing weight by eating healthily and/or walking/running working out at home/using DVDs etc If successful is losing weight then answer is yes If successful is getting fit then answer is yes If successful is even building muscle then answer is…

I'd second the getting as active as you can with the squiddlywinks - how old are they? If pre schoolers then running round the park will give you a burn. And if it's a baby maybe you could use the lil fella as an impromptu weight and haul him/throw him around a bit - try not to work out to exhaustion tho :wink: And sleep.…

*to the tune of waltzing matilda* Protein and fibre Proootein and fibre Protein and fibre are your new best friends I make sure my evening meal is RAMMED with protein, bang on a load of veg and that sees me clear through the evening. If I get hungry I do the 'waaaaaaaaaait a minute, am I REALLY hungry or just bored?' test…

Both. Then - put both away. Weigh yourself, take all your measurements then put it away. Because some weeks your weight is going to stall and if you're hopping on the scales all the time it might dishearten you. And because if you measure yourself every week you won't see the motivating numbers you may need to stay on…

Hi, there are a couple of livefit groups on here - don't know how active they are though.

Ha! I left my husband when my son was 3, came out a year later and am only now getting divorced - my son is now 18 and at University! Sometimes people don't get divroced straight away - I know for me and my ex husband we just never got around to it. And you can bet your sweet life I've been dating in the intervening 15…
