Not so. I am largely sedentary in that I don't have any regular or planned exercise so when I do go for a walk, I add in the exercise. I also travel a lot for business, often at short notice, so can't plan ahead too much and when my weight drops to the extent that I feel I can go swimming or visit a gym, I will add those…

If you are only weighing once a week you can see unexpected fluctuations due to high sodium and/or water retention. I was away for two weeks, eating restaurant meals, not drinking enough. When I got home last Friday night and weighed myself Saturday I was a pound up on the last weigh before leaving. Since then I have lost…

Cheating surely is having s*x with someone who is not your wife/husband/significant other? But food? Please!!! Damn, I see I came (sic) to this thread too late........

Seriously? You're criticising someone who is deflecting the christian hate?

You have Satanic beliefs? Seriously? Let's have them and I'll take the p*ss out of them just as much as these God botherers :laugh:

Really? Read the OP's post again.

@yolifoli - take a deep breath babe, relax, let your thoughts think, you'll make a lot more sense :happy: @meg - I meant to say, but forgot, LUUUUURVE the Tardis cake! Well, another pound gone this morning (since Monday weigh in), I really feel I'm getting the hang of this at last!! Nice to be at home this week too. Makes…

Mental illness is just so difficult to deal with, been there, done that and I really sympathise. Sounds like your Mom may need help and you're probably too close to tell her so - are there family or friends or even her doctor you can discuss it with? Try not to let it get to you, whatever she says is a symptom of brain…

Welcome to the newbies, this thread just grows exponentially every time I look at it, and welcome back to the faders who, well, fade for a while, then return. If you're not putting on weight, you are winning, even though it may seem like you've stalled. If you're losing weight, congratulations! It's really not difficult…

Potato chips (crisps) were my downfall, pre MFP I was eating as many a five 35 gm packs a day, no wonder I was putting on weight! Now (with the help of hypnotherapy) I have them only very occasionally and to be honest, they don't taste as good as they used to (that will be the guilt then!)

Really delighted today :happy: After two weeks away (I always retain water when I'm travelling), two days at home drinking normally have stabilised my water content as usual and as of this morning I have lost a total of 4 lbs (in two chunks, 1.4 down yesterday first thing, another 2.6 this morning) over the past two weeks,…

Couldn't agree more. As my granny used to say "Where there's no sense there's no feeling".

Wow! A lot has been going on since I've been away. All of human life is here, triumphs, tragedies, successes, failures and lots of newbies! Welcome! Including another man (we're kind of under represented on this thread, not that I'm complaining, I love women)!! Well it's been an exciting two weeks, four days in Cyprus at…

Actually I do think the right to bear arms IS ridiculously stupid. But hey, I'm not a card carrying member of the NRA. How do you defend a 5 year old killing a 2 year old with a gun? He had his right to bear arms? But she didn't have her right to life?

You're equating losing a foot with death? Yeah right. Guns don't kill, people do. And 5 year old people do. Give 'em the tools and they'll do the job.

Apologies all, I haven't been able to check in to this thread for a couple of days, but I have been maintaining my diary via phone. I was proud of myself tonight, it was our conference gala dinner, I stuck to one drink before, water during the meal, took the lowest options I could, including a light dessert and didn't…

All, arrrived in Cyprus and having travelled semi overnight managed to get another 5 hours sleep this morning. Not a lot of time as I have to go off to the conference opening. I just thought I'd let you know it's not all fun, there's a lot of hardship - this is the view from my hotel room balcony for instance :drinker: -

You are a saint, don't argue :love: Thank goodness for people like yourself, I know it's a vocation, but that doesn't detract from the saintliness. Congratulations on being a smaller nurse :wink:

I'm afraid I get to see airports, offices, hotels and restaurants in all sorts of countries and don't get much time for tourist things unless I'm lucky enough to have a weekend off in the relevant place. So far that has only happened in Barcelona, Hong Kong, South Africa and Netherlands. The long haul destinations are…

Not so glamorous as it sounds, I am attending an IT conference so it will be death by Powerpoint for four days and I'll see nothing of the real Cyprus. I fly back Friday night and have to sleep over at Heathrow airport to catch an early flight out to Slovakia on Saturday morning as I have a project going live. Yes, I see…

Huh this is typical of women, next you'll be complaining about the pain of childbirth. Just be thankful you're not male and have to suffer man flu! Then you'd know what real pain is all about................

@tnsumner - Tickled? Yes I'd tickle you :laugh: No seriously you look great and I'm jealous but happy for you. Now, please explain, what is "date night,. symphony and dinner", sounds like fun though? I have visions of the new slim you sitting eating dates while listening to a nice piece of Mahler or Shostakovich, or…

I have always been taken for younger than I am, it could be a little annoying when I was young, but now I'm old it's very flattering :happy:

@tnsumner - Wow! What a difference! You are looking very trim indeed in that second pic, you must be delighted with the results. @meg - "Just, BOOM, run a 5K...." What an amazing statement that is and shows how healthy and fit you are becoming! Very inspirational, I think the way you've got to this stage is fantastic. I'm…

Seems like the vote is for the pink swim shorts. OK I'll go with that. After all, if I'm hit on by a gay man, that's probably better than not being hit on at all............:laugh: Mind you, in my dreams, and all that, but inside this bloated fat body is a sexy man waiting to break free. Fortunately I don't take myself…

@janetay - no hangover, I didn't drink that much, but enough to feel the buzz and be stupid! Well done on avoiding the snacks, and the loss of nearly a pound! OK, for your delectation and delight, here are the pink swimshorts -

Apologies to Meg and anyone else who read the drivel I posted last night. I was really fed up as I'd drunk too much, not something I do regularly, while waiting for my dinner which was an hour or more later than usual, and then didn't want to eat anything. I felt the need to sound off so did it here :embarassed:

Anyone who understand WTF I am on about in my previous post wins the first prize, a weekend alone with me and my pink swim shorts (as voted on by the ladies of this thread) Please tell me what I am on..................

@tamaralynn9 - Firstly, why such an awkward user name, it has taken me an inordinate time to get it right (But then i'm Half or even totally, p*ssed, this whisky is a b*gger!! Secondly, and more importanllty, WTF are you playing there, looks like some strange version of cricket? I'm totally stumped................... I'm…
