Hey - that is rotten behaviour. Well done for being so calm and respectful so far. I think it is time to sit her down and lay out some firm rules for the time you have remaining. She was disrespectful and rude. I think it is completely reasonable to expect her to not bring anyone back to your home for the remainder of the…

If you're expecting a replacement for pasta then RUH ROH. Much disappoint. However in asian dishes they are the bomb. I buy them when they are on sale and cook myself up a huge plate of thai or chinese inspired stirfry goodness. As others have said rinse well and fry them. I wouldn't counternance them in a pasta type dish…

I need it out of my house and this means I'm having to buy more clothes in sizes I won't be in forever and it's costing a fortune - but I can't keep the bigger stuff. Mentally it derails me too much - and the flipside of that is the buzz of wearing a smaller size keeps me focused and happy I've kinda resigned myself to…

Total vanity. Of course that means my self esteem and confidence have gone through the roof. I generally just feel.... better. Mentally, physically and spiritually. So, a little bit of vanity has turned out to actually be a really life enhancing thing :smile:

If this has been posted apologies but I can't be arsed looking through the entire thread Chvrches - Do I Wanna Know Cover of the Arctic Monkeys track - so ridiculously good in a completely different way to the original - which is awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjwwmFrsX_E

Another one with a hell yeah. 3 and a half months and 20lbs down. It's been the easiest thing in the world. This is my second time around. I make sure I eat more protein and fat because that, for me, helps so much with satiety which stops the need to snack. I walk my dogs every day and I lift every now and then (got a…

I've cut back a lot. And I can easily 'earn' enough calories for a good bottle of red should the fancy take me. And I make different drink choices. And I accept that sometimes when I have my drink on I am going to eat a load of crap that I wouldn't normally eat. And you know what? That's ok. I don't want to give up alcohol…

Honestly? I wouldn't spend 40 quid on them. I'd scour Ebay for second hand weights. For weights to 'work' you need progressively higher weights and you're going to outgrow those pretty quickly. Save your money, get a second hand set of dumbbells - and then get barbells - and then get addicted to lifting LOL. Those are the…

So full of win it's not true. Awesome, awesome post :smile:

Ah I have had a week of little NSVs that have me buzzing like a buzzy thing 1. Went 'shopping' in my wardrobe last night - SO many clothes fit me now (and so much went to the charity shop) 2. Wore a 'new' dress to work and literally everyone has said how good it looks 3. For the first time ever had the motivation to get…

:smile: Naked on any morning where I've dona ma bizniz before I have to get ready for work. It fluctuates but the trend is always down

Hey, this really helped me - I'm sure there are loads of video links for OHP but I liked the way it was spelt out that basically I was going to suck at this lift for a long time :laugh: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2014/05/28/strength-training-101-the-overhead-press/

Thanks :smile: I suppose - I've been thinking a lot about community. About friendship and belonging. I suppose it's like this group. it'll only be busy if we make it busy, if we take time to post. The BFT thing - rather than wait for someone else to make the effort and then piggyback on that I want to BE the energy. I'm…

Physique. 100%. I don't care how much I can lift, I care about how much wobble I can take out of my thighs :wink:

I have a 3 protein salad every day - huge amount of salad (lettuce, toms, cucumber, bell peppers etc) - with a boiled egg, 100g full fat cottage cheese and either meat/tuna/smoked mackerel. Because of the protein and fat content it keeps me full all day, so much so that sometimes I have to make myself have dinner in the…
-
Boring but lots and lots of protein leave me stuffed. And I drink gallons of decaf green tea in the evening. And there are NO snacks in the house. I've tried, moderation ISN'T my middle name just yet. Good luck.

The one broccoli recipe that is all over here - tiny bit of garlic oil (as garlic will burn and taste bitter) - roasted, lemon zest and juice and some fresh parmesan Or garlic oil and cumin - I eat this all the time :)

*sighing in a melodramatic attention seeking way* Been a while since I had anyone to PDA with - but yep, I act naturally and naturally when I am in love/lust is to touch the object of my affection. Quite a lot. No problems with it at all - and I get a huge kick out of seeing other LGBTQ couples holding hands, kissing on…

You rule!

I keep a pile of hard boiled eggs in my fridge - if I am ever craving a snack I eat one dipped in freshly milled black pepper :smile:
-
Cheese and onion twist and foccacia slab - ohhhh nom a nom a nom Not as bad as I was expecting - however, scary to think pre MFP I would have both of those AND a sausage roll *oinking*

In for the accountability. Goal this month is to lift for the month. That's all. I'm not bothered about what weight I am shifting, I just want to get through the month without bailing. Come on dodgy hip and shoulder, let's baby our way through this, we're not going to the pain cave Have a great month everyone :smile:

WHOOP! Go you!

Looking awesome, well done!

Something has changed this time and I don't know what it is but it is similar to the people who say there is no slipping any more. I have long term goals so that I don't fall into the must lose X pounds by Y date. First one is October 2014 when I go to Egypt - I want to feel comfortable in my bikini but I know it won't be…

*waving from the UK* I generally go to Manchester Pride and have done the parade a couple of times - once with SM *kitten* on their float which was interesting as Manchester is notoriously rainy and I was wearing rubber - I don't think I've ever been as cold and clammy :laugh: . Then I did the parade with a butch-femme…
-
Well then, the only people who can change that is us :smile: I'm active across a few social media things and all my queer stuff tends to go in other places. I'll try to remember to post more things in here, it would be great to get to know you all a little better.

Insanely hot thai chicken stir fry - ridiculously good! :tongue:
