How about Microsoft paint. Any basic tool like this should enable you to save the completed merged photo as a new image ready to up load. Not sure what you would use if you're using Mac software but I bet the have a drawing tool that's similar.

Done it - thank you :) :flowerforyou:

This is me! - well, my stats reenvisaged onto cyber me! :smile: [img][/img]

exercise and clean eating is great for stressbusting - there is lots of science to explain stress v weight gain too so knowing that you can do something about it is already a step in the right direction - Happy Thursday :flowerforyou:

my growing confidence :flowerforyou:

Thanks! I thought I'd stress the positive - should probably add: - messaging MFP friends seeing how their getting on for the day/week - setting news goals and adding these to my profile - working out how to fund/gift myself a present for achieving a new goal hehe - finding like minded people on MFP using the search…

I hope you don't mind me saying so but you are the epitomy of my aspirations. Would you mind if I added you as a friend? I hope to be where you are in 5 years time; fitness, family and fortitude. Thanks for sharing :) x

This is great and really motivational - I am at a similar loss with a similar routine and also now trying to jump off this plateau and on the slide down again. You are doing so well and look great for it. Keep up the motivation and have your goals in sight!

I can't get over how much happier and more confident you look after each photo. What an inspiration!!! :smile:

Hahaha ...yes, although if I was peeing a litre of vodka then I would probably be on an IV drip in hospital anyways, lol. Anyway - vodka cranberries every time :wink: The pee clear seems like a good gauge. In the evenings/daytime weekends I get through squash or green/camomile teas too. Had a really interesting experience…

I can't believe how insensitive some people can be but it is also comforting to know that I'm not alone in the challenges we each face. Thank you. It also does away with the guilt that seems to come from not wanting to start a family straight away, Whether my body decides it does or doesn't have the capacity to make babies…

I'm off to find the groups section now - thanks for the tip! Happy Monday and add me too if you like, I'm a sunny southener :)

yup!

My OH always used to pay when we were dating but chivalry wasn't really part of it - its just not him, but it is nice to see the effort he makes occasionally, flowers, nice wine, clothes, date night etc, not been to the ballet yet thought! I suppose if he did it all the time then I wouldn't see it as an exception. We…

Doesn't everyone have their own interpretation of what "healthy" or what a "diet" is???

Smiling reading this :flowerforyou:

I tried all SORTS of 'diets' but it wasn't until Janaury that I found MFP and realised that the best diet is one of eating in moderation and having what you want when you want by planning ahead - so you get a nutritional balance. My diary is open and I am first to admit that I am a long way from eating a healthy balanced…

I am loving this thread as a resource and can see it being used time and time again. The trolly looked a lot healthier today and I am pleased to say that we were under budget too - wohooooo :D edited because I can't sppell/type ;)

Nooooooo.. I'm Batman :laugh:

We must have been overspending on the wrong types of things for ages :( We have a tonne of preserves and dried fruits that l think will last forever! It also seems impossible to eat 5 - 7 portions of fruit and veg each day hmmm

1st thought - Nothing gets easier, you just get better 2nd thought - I bet your sister didn't start running at that pace! Stick with it, be strong, and stay motivated - you can do this!

We have agreed to monitor the sweats in his diary. He has no other symptoms and his cold seems to be clearing too finally. After a really hard couple of weeks at work and playing really well at football (man of the match again!) it seems that he had just over done it and desperately needed to rest the muscles. We will keep…

Should probably point out that I am wondering if he is over exercising - not that I know that he is, or even if it is possible to do that?

I can completely relate to this it is just dangerous having some things in the cupboards, and it takes ages to not waste the food that's there if you eat in moderation. I have stopped buying some things all together and have asked hubby to do the same. I joined mfp in January and through taking one day at a time and not…

I read that it boosts your metabolism, and its a natural stimulant. Not sure whether it being a stimulant is a good or a bad thing but I guess that depends on what you're looking for.

On the positive note, I am a lot better than I was. I have dyslexia which affects my concentration and short term memory significantly and increasing work pressures exacerbated the problem - particularly about 18 months ago when I had to have 2 ops. I changed my job in May last year and its made things a lot better than…

I should probably add that I have a tendency towards anxiety which frequently leaves me exhausted. This weekend has been non stop and once again I've fallen back into my old trap of getting too anxious, not realising how tired I've become then overheating on chocolate or quick sugars to stay awake. The logical answer is to…

I think you have just motivated the entire MFP nation to take up running if they didn't already. Great work - you look fantastic!

It is true that being skinny is just as difficult to manage as being overweight. I was supposedly too skinny in my teens and it hurt to hear that and my family would tell me that I should put on some weight and not get 'too skinny'. Now they tell me I should loose the pounds and I agree so I am. Thinking about it though,…

I wonder if you can add food ahead and still have it log you in? E.g. if you know that you are going on holiday and are self catering so can plan your food ahead? Just a thought... Anyway, thanks to my friends that I have made on here and welcome to the new ones. I am committed to this as a lifestyle change realising that…
