CONGRATULATIONS! :-) I am not pregnant, nor TTC but if I were to advise anything from my naive p.o.v I would suggest that you don't worry too much about the numbers on the scale as long as your doctor is happy but concentrate more on the calories going in, remember pregnant women only need the equivalent of 1 banana on top…

think yourself lucky you don'thave any life threatening allergies, my other half is deathly allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, legumes, egg, fish, seafood and is vegetarian, eating out whether at a restaurant or friends is very difficult and more often than not, just not worth the risk, but we have used a bit of imagination…

BMI is not worth stressing about if it doesn't work for you, like the other posters have said, there is somewhere, i think on the NHS website or just google it, a way of determining over/underwieght etc by measurements which is said to be much more accurate, and this determines your risk factor of developing problems such…

I can't see any reason why the LOGGING aspect of the site can be anything but beneficial to your son, however,the calorie and macro nutrient goals you would need to speak to your doctor about and set them as he/she describes. also, remember that as a growing child there will be times when your son is overweight and others…

free range organic chicken breasts, courgettes (zucchini) red and yellow peppers, spinach, salad leaves, carrots, cheese (philadelphia light, mozerella, cheddar, feta) skimmed milk, red onions tomatoes cucumber occasionally olives, 1 bottle of wine wholemeal bread margerine tinned tomatoes/ passata garlic frozen…

OP, i am currently following a LOWER carb (avg 30-80 NET carbs) diet plan that I have adjusted to suit my needs and I am loosing weight on it and enjoying my food more than I did before. yes i occasionally get a bit of an urge for specific carbs but they are easy enough to ignore and on the whole i don't feel like I am…

feel free to add me as a friend and look at my diary from the last 2 weeks I have been on a lower carb diet, and I do not eat ANY red meat. Fish and chicken are great as they are high in protein and very low in carbs, also lots of green vege's (but not so many legumes - beans, peas etc) to work out the net carbs of a vege…

take a packed lunch that you can eat on the go or as soon as you get in to your car/ find a bench to sit on before you get home if you are really hungry and can't wait until you get home, or ensure your lunch is ready for you when you get home so you don't have to wait to eat it whilst preparing it.

there is no way to work out hard and look cute doing it, but if you want to minimise the mess you look, plenty of deadorant and sweat absorbing clothing, one that wicks away the sweat is good. i think i have nike top or two that do that pretty well and hair pins or headband or both for the fringe, and hair tied up is…

I study English Lit at uni so do a lot of reading. my faves this term so far have been no telephone to heaven, the virgin and gipsy, a handful of dust, things fall apart, baumgartners bombay, the tenant of wildfell hall, jane eyre, wuthering heights, frankenstein, the illyiad sure there are more, but would recommend these…

it takes minutes to eat breakfast, especially if you prepare it the night before, i never used to have breakfast either, coz i would rather be in bed for 5 extra minutes, but if you get your low sugar cereal ready the night before all you have to do is pour some milk in and eat, takes 2mins or if you want something hot,…

'Cheat meals' (NOT WHAT I CALL THEM, I prefer the term, RELAX days) have helped me to loose around 20lbs in the past, I am now two weeks into following this routine again after over a year of stupid dieting that did not work, I find (for me, this is) that if i restrict myself too much endlessly, yes I might loose a few…

talk to your doctor about this, when I was a teenager, I was instructed by my doctor not to exercise during my t.o.m a little light walking but nothing strenuous as my periods were so bad anything more would have aggravated my womb, i was on a special NSAID (like ibuprofen) think it was called ponstan, (brand name) which…

a gazillion pairs of shoes, shoe rack, water bottle filled with water and a broken office chair. reckon I will survive about an hour with those weapons! :-(

so much is easy to cook, if you eat chicken, get a breast and put on tin foil, fold the edges of foil up so it forms a kind of parcel, but before you 'close it up' drizzle smidgen (tablespoon or less) of olive oil over it, some black pepper and tiny bit of salt, add some crushed garlic and close, bake in the oven on medium…

you can still loose weight if you go over one day, or even two. I always allow myself two naughty days a week, usually the weekend, and although the following day you might see a 'gain' its not a true gain, and the day or two after that, you will start loosing again. for instance, last week, I did really well mon-fri, lost…

you seriously do not want to loose more weight, you look amazing the way you are now, especially in the pic with the white sports top thingy, you are tiny, it's totally about different people carrying their weight in different places and yes, muscle does weigh more than fat, you shouldn't just go on the numbers on the…

I'm 27, feel free to add me too :-) good luck everyone. remember, slow and steady wins the race x

Hiy, I'll join in, my heigh is 5'4.5" my CWis 130.2lb GW for valenties is 126.?lb then I will weigh the same as I did on holiday late last year and will be half way to my UGW :-)

it also happens over facebook etc, it happened to me 6months ago, a only friend from school who i haven't spoken to in years started instant messaging me saying she had been mugged at gun point abroad and only had her passport and needed the cash to get a flight home, fortunately i was sensible enough to question what was…

well i'm 5'4" and mygoal weight used to be 119 but ive since changed my mind and actually just want to get to 124, I know it's only 5lbs difference, but at that weight, it's actually about 5% of my body weight. (i think, maths is not my strong point) anyway, i got down to 125 last summer and looking back at photos of me…

stick to a brat diet. i had a bad case of gastroenteritis back in feb and for the first 2 days i could only have water/ dioralyte then it was stock water, then rice then mash potato without butter or milk, i tried bananas at several points but each time they made me sick. eventually moved onto toast after about 10days.…

if you replace the sausages with quorn ones i am sure you would drop the calories a fair bit, they are only 60 cals each :-)

i know it might not seem a lot to some people, but it is a lot for my body. the thing thats getting me down the most about it is the shape i am at this weight, its all on my stomach and despite being a relatively small dress size, i look pregnant and bloated all the time and clothes just dont look good on me which i am…

it depends, not only from woman to woman but even for the same woman depending on certain circumstances. like for me, when i was a teenager, my doctor actually told me NOT to exercise (other than gentle walking etc) at my T.O.M because it would aggrevate my womb, i was prescribed mefanamic acid ( a type of anti…

WOW! what diet pill did you take? well done you, you look so tiny! :-)

If it's a grilled chicken breast no breadcrumbs/batter etc then probably lower calorie to go for chicken, often vegie burgers are fried and full of all sorts. why not try calling the restaurant ahead and ask for the nutritional info (if they have it, even an estimate) good luck :-)

I use My Days to track my cycle, its great and tracks everything, i only use it to track periods and ovulation because i get really bad mood swings at different times of the month and it helps to let me know, ohhh, thats why, it will all be over in so many days etc etc, it also helps when i panic that i am late, with just…

i'm 5'4" and my current weight is 124, started out at about 133 (this time round) and have only 5lbs left to go as my goal weight is 119, although ideally i will probably want to go a little lower than that, maybe 117 just so that i have some room to manouvre if i put on a few pounds at some point (like christmas or…
