So true for me too! Maybe it's not a coincidence that I deleted my FB account about the same time that I joined MFP.... FB made me miserable. MFP makes me happy!!!:laugh:

I'm not critisising cos I don't know anything about it but....:yawn: I thought this chap had been widely discredited and was currently hanging his head in shame? (or rolling around laughing in piles of money)

No. Oh wait...

I think I'm in the "I try to be helpful but some people only want to read the answer they'd predetermined in their head as they typed the question" clique keepin it real:bigsmile:

Atkins made me so ill I ended up in hospital. Slow and steady wins the race.

Has anyone else said "cystitis"? If the burning is when you pee, that's what it is. And a constant need to pee even when there's nothing there! If that's it, drink lots of water, get some cranberry juice and drink even more water. It will take a couple of days.

I have to try to remember that it's just a craving and it's not going to win. 5 minutes later the craving is gone and I feel brilliant! Try to make sure you don't have "bad" food in the house - I used to pretend it was "for the kids" but why would I want to feed them that when I shouldn't be putting it in my OWN body?! Try…

3 days isn't so bad when you're starting a new diet. Exercise is definately a good idea. And try eating oranges and prunes - natures laxatives!

Get some friends on here! We're all on here to get healthier and fitter and we all want each other to succeed! It's really helping me to keep motivated by reading other people's success stories and problems (and how they've overcome them!) on the message boards and i've got the app on my phone to log food throughout the…

You look fantastic! A complete transformation - well done!

Add me too! I'm in Hampshire and trying to lose those last 10lbs.....

Much the same! Hitting 40 this year and that stubborn last 10lbs hanging on! Although it may be partly to do with my lack of willpower to say no! Feel free to add me anyhow - we need all the help we can get!

Welcome!! I'm still new (only a couple of weeks) but add me too!

So true. Although not so appealing a lot of the time, hence my extra layers of fat :-)

Nom nom nom what was that? nom nom nom

^^^ This. Lots and lots of it. I have a babybel and some fruit mid morning.

Feel free to add me! Do you think you've been ill because you've been restricting your calories or it is just a coincidence? Definitely go to the gym - release those endorphins and feel good about yourself! Having said that, the last time I went to the gym was about 10 years ago! Easy for me to preach, harder for me to…

Ha ha! Sounds like something I'd do too!

That sounds delicious! Definitely going to try that - thanks!

I saw on another thread that someone said they grate a little parmesan on instead of cheddar etc as it has a stronger flavour and so a little is all you need. Brilliant idea!

Kill it? Change the batteries? Make sure it's on a flat hard surface? Kill it?

Vodka and slimline tonic About 55 calories each woohoo!

Hells bells Libby You are already an amazing friend to be so worried. It's impossible for me to advise you what to do but, if it were me in your situation, I think I would have to say something to my friend, whether it caused problems between us or not. This is what friends are for surely? For the good times and the bad…

I was vegan for 3 years in my 20s. All I can say is that it was HARD WORK!

Oh and I didn't put on any weight from it. That came later from all the pies :cry:

I had mine taken out laproscopically almost 20 years ago. Was only in hospital overnight and the worst thing about it is that they put carbon dioxide into you (I'm so scientific) to push the stomach wall away from your organs and that has to dissapaite (sp?) afterwards (you can't burp it out!) and so that's a bit…

Feel free to add me! Working mum to a four year old daughter and wife to a much-ignored husband. It's sooooo tough!

^^^^ This. You should rule the world :love:

You are not alone!

Surely milk is fattening due to its fat content? Skimmed milk isn't fattening.
