make dinner the night before and take it in = boxed pasta salad takes mins to prepare

Also just started using the Aldi Caviar cream, its about 7 quid, but a little goes a long way, x

I have found the Aldi Creams brilliant, not sure if it helps with loose skin from weight loss, but for me its made my skin feel the best it has in years, and few people have commented how much better my skin looks, fine lines reduced etc. Lacuna i thinks its called, i got day, night and eye cream for about a tenner or so x

Ha, today am having salad, cous cous and chicken !!! i also like home made soup, ryvitas and pate or cottage cheese, cup a soups, left over lasagne/chilli, jackets and tuna (like poster above not sure if you have a microwave) wraps, pasta salad, use different dressings x tis hard work though aint it ! x

i read recently you don't need motivation just determination......... i lack both lol x

I feel the same, and depresses me that I will be still battling the same 14lbs when im 80!

How the body metabolizes the sugar in fruit and milk differs from how it metabolizes the refined sugar added to processed foods. The body breaks down refined sugar rapidly, causing insulin and blood sugar levels to skyrocket. Because refined sugar is digested quickly, you don’t feel full after you’re done eating, no matter…

presume without, but cant see the shell making much difference x

butter - i cant give up butter

scouting for girls

Sugar free jelly! I lurve it! even better with a squirt of whippy cream!

have added you x

I have a desk job and set my goal for 7k which I have to make a concerted effort to reach (I have been known to dance round the room to music to hit the daily target!) but I smash it on a weekend. Set your goal to an achievable target and then keep upping it to make yourself move more - I know in the summer I will set mine…

ha, I feel your pain! lol, but I do log my fruit and potatoes etc religiously, and ball park my veg ie broccoli and salad leaves x

eggs are my go to favourite, make fab omelettes with veg and cooked meat x

ah well done you! that's a great achievement!

Mine were mostly related to my monthly cycle, and since they stopped have hardly had any since. But for me chocolate, oranges and stress play a part in getting them now. in the past I have had medication which helped prevent them but the best thing was having acupuncture when I was pregnant and couldn't take meds. hope you…

I was bored too, now I've just died inside a little........ I suggest the Iliad for a bit of light entertainment

I'm in but walking as can't run!!!!

I also have a hefty chest and need a sports bra for support, but after damaging my knee my sport if walking! no sports bra needed! just some comfy shoes and off you go x I tend to use frozen veg as last longer and are cheaper and look for special offers on fruit etc, never pay full price.

£98, (most expensive bit is ring my kids bought me) rest of stuff im wearing was given to me ha, joy of being skint! lol

I once did this for 40 days as was totally addicted to eating the stuff - ate several bars a day and didnt really actually enjoy it - the result was (after my family nearly kicking me out the first two weeks) is that I now enjoy chocolate and can take it or leave it

I wouldn't want a picture of my lovely dad on his death bed. I want to remember him as the vibrant, funny strong person full of life, not the shattered shell eaten by cancer - I have that memory imprinted in my mind as it is and don't need a hard copy

you sound exactly like me (im 49) have had blood tests all showing okay, apart from my iron which is slightly raised! I will be keeping an eye on this for inspirational tips (my diet on the whole is good, plenty veg/fruit/carbs and protein)

porridge

walk to the shop and buy something healthy? porridge to go with your banana or make a smoothie with the banana & yogurt

obese : a year to save my life, also a year long transformation program - there is a uk and us version x

I have joined but not sure I can do 20 sit ups! due to back troubles but will maybe half the amount and follow from there if you see what if mean so will be doing every day just half the amount!

I know how you feel - I have a knee injury and am slowly piling on the pounds ! seems that when I cant exercise I cant eat healthy! lol so trying to make a concerted effort to stop the gain before it gets out of hand I have brought fruit into work today (I had some boxes of cereal snacks but tend just to munch them all !)…
