Face up to what you're eating. It's a fish! Don't be a baby.:flowerforyou:

That actually sounds like a delicious meal to me! TVP as a vegetarian then vegan youth definitely was the sign to get back to my carnivorous ways. It's not natural.

And really? That's a really low tolerance for annoyance!

Even if she was fat there's still no excuse for him to call her names. You love someone for what's on the inside. He's a douche. And re not listening to angry words - those are the ones that stay with you for the longest. You can't tell someone not to listen.

This exactly. I'm actually hoping that, as the OP's first post was in January, she's kicked him out. He sounds like an immature, controlling little runt. If momma aint happy, nobody happy.

This! Bananas are our friends.

Exactly this. Why don't you just concentrate on yourself and not worry about what others are doing or not doing? This is YOUR thing, not theirs.

Can't you think of it as a bonus?

Unless you've some medical reason to track sugar, don't bother tracking sugar! ETA: You only need to track carbs, fat and protein.

You'll dissolve if you get rained on?

I like to see some scientific evidence for this please.

Eat MORE protein! My goal is something like 113g a day and it's the only macro I make a really big effort to hit.

What body have I got apart from my physical one? And I like that you capitalised. Makes the message so much more potent of course. *Off to eat a bun*

What is this "poo workout" of which you speak?

Ask me this time next week when I've turned 40 and I tell you if I'm struggling or not :flowerforyou:

Agreed. What's not to like about that? Maybe pasta salad as well. With tuna or cold cooked chicken and lots of veggies. I use fat free soft cheese (quark) with lemon juice and a little water to make a dressing.

I'm on day 8 of level 1 and it's not stopped yet for me! But at least the pain is reminding me that I'm changing my life. Some have said to do more cool down exercises as Jillian's aren't enough.

Lunchtime? If you get a lunchbreak then you could use half of it to go for a brisk walk.... Get your arms swinging to get your heart rate up... Walking is underated as a form of exercise. ETA: It has been found that more people recover if they are helped to try to do more than they think they can – rather than adapting to…

Couldn't you just run a little faster?:flowerforyou:

Okay so maybe it's just me! I thought you were meant to and my body started to agree with me when I started and then felt funny. But I've just read that maybe it's a good thing to work out without eating breakfast first - I am now officially confused! I am a breakfast addict so maybe it really it just me!

I did mine this morning for the first time and, although it was great, you must eat before you do it!

Agreed. I've left FB behind - I don't want it resurrected under a different name!

Way harsh dude:glasses:

Agree. Fage is lush but out of my price range! Fat free fromage frais from the supermarkets is a fraction of the cost and tastes just as good!

If you're doing the 5:2 diet then the 2 days when you are "fasting" create your calorie deficit. On the other 5 days you are meant to eat your TDEE. It's not actually meant to be a weight loss diet but it often seems to be a happy side effect. Looks like you're not eating enough.

Oh and the good thing about quark is that it's almost twice the protein of fromage frais/ greek yoghurt at 13.6g/100g vs 7g/100g. Nom nom nom

LOL no you only put the plain stuff in your cooking, not the sweet stuff!

Really hope you mean drinking it not putting it away in a cupboard. Mmmm alcohol slumbers... Is the pub open yet?
