Sometimes I find that even a small glass of milk can help to supress the hunger!

Need to try these!

I hear ya!

I used to get this - I found that raising my legs on a pillow at night really helped my knees stop being so puffy!

Friend of mine told me to watch this as I get really bad shin splints - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcnAXw47nMw I've heard this a few times about a rolling pin - he does it and said it works great. Might help!

I am the same height - and funny enough i used to be 8.5 stone and now over 11! i stopped logging for ages and that screwed me up - i need to log to see what is screwing me up!

Thanks everybody. Its not putting me off exercise - just doing a bit less than I'd like to. Yes - I had worked harder than usual - my goal was to make up for the calories ate earlier and maybe I overdid it. I had my breakfast as normal - so it was just a big rush at lunch. Perhaps its a combination of everything - eating…

There is a lot of bad food in here! Even if you are losing weight with the calorie deficit - -you will not help your body. You must get a lot of sugar lows and highs with these types of foods. Cereals like cookie crisp etc are pure sugar and will not help with your bloods. Even if you lose weight you don't want to have…

Hi - I'm in Ireland - hoping to lose 2 stone - best of luck! :)

I'll be joined a week tomorrow - and so far have lost just over 4 pounds. I think the logging really helps - foods I would have considered harmless are now gone! Things like dressing etc are the worst. Exercise is helping I walk half an hour to my bus and then try to do half an hour on exercise bike most evenings, Good…

You look great! Love seeing a happy story!

Best of luck - hopefully on a few months we'll have knocked a big chunk off!

Thats one thing thats scaring me too - how many calories seemingly harmless foods have!!

Thanks - this is very interesting to come from somebody who has actually tracked it - Google just brings up so many people trying to plug their own products. I think it is actually quite nice to do after a workout almost as a warm down - but as mentioned I can't warm to it as a part of cardio! Thanks for the detailed…

Thanks Firefox - think thats a lot of my problem - I've watched videos and stuff but still can't seem to get "comfortable" on it. Not in a sense that I would be tired - but more that I would feel i'm not doing it right. :frown:

That would be a great idea! Also - I wish fast food restaurants - all restaurants HAD to show the calories. Ireland still hasn't got this and I think it would make people on diets far more comfortable going out for dinner!

might get a few odd looks from the people i live with though ...

I keep a bottle at my desk - 1 litre. If its not gone by lunch I try to finish it with my food so that I always refill it after. I agree with drinkin it ice cold - its so refreshing. Also even doing half an hours cardio can make me drink 2-4 glasses - which is half! If it is really hard you could try adding a tiny bit of…

Thanks for the advice - looked at my food diary and its def not worth it!

Ha - sales department - what do you do there?? Its so annoying - any time its somebodies birthday or there is something to celebrate, training days etc - out come the chocolates! One of the girls from accounts took a few and I asked her to take them away and she is in the same boat - doesn't want to look at them!

Thanks a mill! At least I know I'm getting half my intake minimum at work!

Very true - if i start doing that i probably would drink less - thanks!

Would he have a couple of pounds to lose himself? Jealousy can completely change a person and maybe he doesn't want you to succeed subconciously. It may not mean he's a bad person - but perhaps he isn't strong enough to do what you are doing right now. Keep doing what you are doing and when you have hit your target you can…

Ireland :wink:

i find the loreal extraordinary oil works wonders. Doing a deep condition whenever you can is great too - i bought a big tub about eight months ago for about seven euro and i still have it. And let dry naturally whenever you can :)
