Ay up tubbs... I'm also 41 and from just down the road in Leeds (currently living in the midlands)

Well I'm currently 6'3 247lb got down to 215lb a couple of years ago using MFP, but lost too much muscle so decided to build it back up using stong lifts and a selection of other programs while at the gym. as of Jan 1st I'm back on the weight loss journey while this time trying to maintain as much muscle as possible, so…

Golly that profile pic makes me feel all ickle and wimpy :disappointed: I'd like to say I eat properly and lift properly, but I think you might be operating at a different level to me :open_mouth:

We did this last year when they first introduced it and quit after week 2... we got bored of having to have the same food ALL the time. They give you a small booklet of recipes and thats all you've got for 6 weeks, we much prefer the Slimming World recipes and using MFP for portion control ;)

You should be in physiotherapy after a knee operation, please don't do anything without speaking to your Doctor or PT. I had 8 months physio before my knee operation and about 10 months after, it then took nearly 2 years before I was full able to start proper training. The 18m of physio I would only do what the PT told me…

Greek Gyros Pita - pork in a pita with fries tomatoes, red onions, and Tzatziki.... OM NOM NOM .... lucky for me I can only get decent ones in Greece not the UK :smile:

I'm from Leeds ... just don't live there anymore :smile:

What are these ads you speak of? I have no ads on any site... might have something to do with using Firefox with adblock plus installed :smile:

There you go, googling for an answer is not the correct resposne as you get different results depending on you locale. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_%28unit%29 BTW in the UK we use the metric system and have no concept of what an 8oz cup is.... perfectly valid question by the OP

Google gives me these results Metric cup = 250 millilitres United States customary cup = 236 millilitres United States "legal" cup = 240 millilitres Imperial cup = 284 millilitres So not quite as easy as you make out and maybe the correct course of action for the OP is to actually post on the forum of the site they're…

Anyone fancy a fry up?

They are totally AWESOME!!! I would eat 2 or 3 in one sitting when I was in Greece ... suppose thats why I'm here now :(

I log 300 calories an hour for being on here and then eat them all back :smile:

ooo ooo ooo I think I saw a film like that once ....

I'm motivated for the next week and a half, then I'm going on holiday so will be trying to drink my own weight in cyder and eat everything I see ... .might need some motivation when I get back lol :smile:

Here have a Gyros Pita and feel better :smile:

Have they never heard the expression 'never trust a thin chef' :smile:

Hiya ... yes and no ... We joined slimming world at the start of the year and we use it in conjunction with MFP. Most of the cooked meals we have each night are SW based, but I don't agree with some of the things SW tell you (unlimited portion size for certain items), my wife has come round to my way of thinking. Slimming…

Motorbike .... big, noisy, fast motorbikes

From the UK BT Infinity 2 - 80Mb :smile: Router is the BT Home Hub 3

If your having trouble on the forums, I've heard Jesus can help.....

Darn it you beat me too it ... B&J Cookie dough please :smile: oh and a pint of red wine to help it go down :drinker:

mmm does sound nice :D

You sound like me, except 6 years younger and 2 stone lighter lol I'm 39, 6'3 16 stone 3lb down from 18stone, work at a desk and excersise wise I'm doing Stonglifts and try a fit in some walking or mountain biking when time allows :smile: I have an open diary and I always accept new friends.

Ahh, but if you put the 2 bananas in a load of bread and then slice it into 7 and only eat 1 slice a day ... you've only eaten 2/7 of a banana and your sugar intake should still be intact :smile:

We're using slimming world & weight watchers for the recipe ideas, but using MFP to track what we're eating if that makes sense.

I agree with all the above, but additionally are the rest of you getting annoyed with the emails. When they started they seemed useful and motivational, but recently they seem to have changed into a spammy advert for the inner circle.
