I count pretty much everything but specifically words and letters. So for example, if someone sends me a birthday card I will count every word and letter in it as I'm reading it and I can do it super fast. There are certain numbers I don't like and if everything adds up to one of those numbers, I get pretty annoyed. I also…

I don't think this diary is good at all, you have no veg (except 2 servings of mushrooms) and the only fruit is orange juice which is high in sugar. My suggestions would be: - Change your Thick White Bread for Medium Sliced Brown or 50/50 - Cut down the bacon - that's a lot for 1 day, bacon is salty and fatty - I have…

I don't enjoy exercise when I'm too sore, therefore I don't give it my all. I would give Zumba a miss but maybe do something else less strenuous - could you go for a swim? Or if the weather is nice, a walk is always good. Obviously a walk will burn a fraction of the calories that Zumba will but it's better than doing…

I have a protein shake every day as I like to aim for high protein and this helps me get there. I use one called Proform (chocolate flavour) it's yummy - I use 300ml Soya Milk, 100ml water and a teaspoon of Whole Earth peanut butter with mine and it is really tasty. I get 22g of Protein from the powder alone. I have mine…

Yeah I don't like this arguement either. A vegetarian won't serve you meat products because they dont agree with the slaughter of animals for human consumption, so to buy meat and serve it to you is going against their beliefs. If they serve it to you, they may as well eat it themselves. However if you decide to not…

I think it's rude - I would cater for anyone that let me know in advance. When I got married, our hotel were more than happy to prepare certain foods for certain guests if needed at no extra charge. In the end no one had any 'special' requirements apart from being vegetarian. So there was a vegetarian option listed on the…

Can I get some help? I've been eating 1343 cals for a few weeks now, I upped this from 1200 after being told to work out my TDEE and minus 20%. I thought I was doing right but now I've just realised the 1343 is lower than my BMR which I've just worked out to be 1412. So - I guess I should be upping my cals to 1412 a day…

Bump :)

800 cals is WAY too low...you need to eat more. Google TDEE or search the forums here for 'In Place of a Road Map' - this will help you set your daily goals to be healthy and keep you full whilst still losing weight.

Same problem here - I brush bicarbonate of soda thorugh it it in the mornings, it does the same job as dry shampoo. Still doesn't feel fresh but it takes the greasy look away. Hate the feeling of dirty hair though :sad:

I'm from Watford, Hertfordshire - now living in Ireland, still same time zone :smile: If anyone adds me please send a message with it, I hate random adds with no info, thank you muchly

I have read that Peppermint Tea is good for a bloated tummy, drink it after each meal. I can't personally recommend it as I haven't tried it for that purpose, although it is very yummy so you should have no problem taking it :smile:

If anyone is kind enough to give me an easter egg, I will be inhaling that bad boy

Well done VeeBeth and Sportzmom23 :smile: My story is...I have never been hugely overweight, just flabby and lazy. When I went up to a UK size 12-14 (big for my 5'3 frame) I'd had enough. So I jumped on the NY resolution bandwagon and came to MFP. Wasn't feeling it for the first week then I made some friends like the…

Avocado. Just can't get enough of the stuff...shame it normally pushes me over on fat for the day, otherwise I'd eat a lot more of them.

Ed you are a little legend - so happy for you!! I hope you have a pop tart (or 10) to celebrate? :laugh: Well done my favourite ginge :flowerforyou:

I think it's fabulous, there are some great before and after threads on here of women who have changed their bodies with heavy lifting. I have just ordered New Rules of Lifting for Women from Amazon, it's supposedly the bible for ladies who want to get strong and toned. It's highly recommended on here, I'm so excited to…

That is so cool, what a great way to start the day :flowerforyou:

Gosh I must be a little hormonal as this thread is making me feel a bit emotional! It's so rare to see a whole thread of people being nice :laugh: Great support guys Dan you sound lovely, I sent you a friend request there. As I said in my mail to you, the difference between failure and success for me has been the wonderful…

Wow, that's very motivational and inspiring for the OP - how nice of you :huh:

I live in Ireland but Tesco here do them in a carton - so I'm sure the UK branches would too?

The comments about girls wearing make up in the gym are annoying. I wear make up and yes I put it on specifically to go there - the reason is that I have always had bad skin and I feel very uncomfortable leaving the house without make up. I don't do it to get guys to look at me - I would die from embarrassment if I thought…

Taylor Swift - We are NEVER, EVER, EVER, getting back together (had to sing that as I typed) Taylor Swift - Trouble (I probably need to get the girls album) Bruno Mars - When I was your man This guy normally gets on my nerves but just recently I've started to become a secret fan :blushing:

I've done 5 days and already I notice by bum is looking better, due to the squats! I'm finding it tough but in a good way - Jillian really works you and you feel it. I'm keeping a steady loss of 1lb per week, I haven't put on since starting 30DS. I would 100% recommend it. There's a before and after thread somewhere with…
-
Wow you look great! I :heart: your style, very cool
-
Sorry, but I can't help but stare at your boobs. They are AMAZING lol!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: But yeah, I agree with the others, you don't look like you need to lose anymore. Just do some strength training, the best before and after pics on here are always from ladies that lift.

You have just scared the life out of me woman!! Push up with a leg raise?!?!?!?!?! I can't even do the beginners push ups on level 1 yet! I do about 3 and then just sit there and stare at the screen until they've finished...dear lord, what have I got myself into :sad:
-
Ha I feel you on this - I'm doing it too and I feel totally guilty about taking a day off! I went swimming yesterday, got a great calorie burn. So I thought, hey I guess there's no need for 30DS today. So I got home, sat down...and she was just STARING at me from her little box. Even though I had worked out already, I felt…

One of my favourite kind of dinners - I like to throw a potato in the over before I go for a run, it's always perfectly crispy when I get back :smile: Lunch I take to work: And I have to throw this in because while it may not be healthy, it was damn good and I still lost 1lb that week :laugh:
