Actually, the salads aren't too bad at McDonalds. Not fantastic, but not the worst thing you can eat. And the Fillet-o-fish has some redeeming qualities - especially if you have it without the sauce. I presume in the USA it is the same as in the UK - you can have a side salad or carrot sticks rather than fries? The fries…

Personally, I have a goal. Acording to the guy who owns the gym I go to, goals are dreams with a deadline. I like that :smile: My Goal is 140lb and looking good in my bikini when I go to Cuba. Four weeks & 1 lb away :smile: Every time I feel like slacking, I think 'CUBA'!!!! Additionally one of my MPF friends is an…

Nuts. As in, cashews, peanuts, almonds, walnuts. OK, they're high in fat but its good fat. A small - easily edible - portion can be jam packed with calories and goodness. An easy way of gettin gyour body used to dealing with more calories. Seeds (pumpkin, pine, seasame) are the same. Chuck in some dried fruit and yogurt to…

That was me!!!! Only got about 10lb left to go but still 5'4" lol

A short break every now & then does you good :) Welcome to MFP.

To me 'urban' has only inner city connotations. Our (UK) inner cities are a mix of ethnicities but the over riding feature is poverty. I would never deride those living in poverty and actively work towards alieviating poverty,, but I will deride some aspects of the abuse of the English language what ever the source. I…

Not sure what the mods deleted. If there was any 'hating' going on then yes that should have been deleted. However, most (if not all) of this thread has been a laugh at the mis0use of the English language with no offence intended in any way shape or form. You could argue that English is an evolving language that is added…

Nah, 'Shamon' is totally Bo Selecta lol

Literally nearly pmsl lol.

Like that even better lol :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I have meetings I don't want to go to - not awesome sauce. So going to work it in there. '"The GP think tank brain stormed the concepts we threw out there and they are on board with the Electronic Discharge " "AWSOMESAUCE" Yea, I hate management speak more than I hate 'urban' or 'youth' speak. Us…

Actually I like that one - going to try that out at work tomorrow. What would be a suitable context?

You know, all these words are fine if you say them ironically :laugh: Not. (Another pet hate)

I thought boo is a corruption of beau - which is obviously masculine. So why would a guy call his girl a male term of endearment? That would annoy me massively lol. My own pet hate is 'innit' at the end of every sentance.

Welcome :smile: There's quite a few of us UK'rs here. Feel free to add me as a friend - I had about 40lb to lose and I'm more than half way there in six months :)

I can tell you what my HRM tells me. Can vary anywhere from 330 cals to 480 cals depending on who is teaching & how energetic I am lol. I'm 42, weight 142, hight 5 foot 4 inches and burned 456 tonight. I can't recommend a HRM highly enough - even though in itself the cals burned are only an estimate, it is a better…

Warwickshire checking in :laugh:

Friend request sent - from the Midlands :)

Try Quinoa It has pretty much complete proteins and is tasty and versitile.

Welcome :smile: We're a friendly bunch.

I find Zumba a lot of fiun - classes or Wii (or other console games) or DVD. Classes are best IMO as you actually have a set timeto get out & fdo it, but if you hsve the dicipline, on your own will do!!! Have fun!!
