Hey everyone, i'm new to this group but not to mfp. I started doing the fast diet last week, for me its the long term health benefits i'm interested in most but also dropping a few stubborn pounds is a bonus. I found the fast days last week ok, i did stick to my 500 cals but think i overdone it at the weekend because I…

mine is simple 'if you dont want to be a fat lazy bî*ch then dont eat crap and do some excercise' :)

Have you found this to actually work? I like the sound of it....i could easy sit and eat a loaf of bread and a load of sushi in a day!

To the OP...id suggest that you dont run. Dont even attempt it. Your attitude is totally a cant do wont do wont try and will only come up with excuses why you cant do it. Get a bike.

Heavier weights and skip to level 2. It will get harder after a few days in a row. If it doesnt try insanity. OUCH!

I am struggling with the same thing at the moment. I crave a glass of wine when i get home from work and then that glass can easily turn into a bottle. I now dont drink through the week. there is no point. I have to keep reminding myself of the empty calories. It is possible to lose weight whilst drinking but think of the…

To get the same protien from the Broccoli you would have to eat more than 600g. Thats almost 4 large heads of broccoli. Screw that, youd end up looking like you were pregenant with all that fermenting going on. I will take my chances with the steak!

This is a good point, why does MFP set it at 1200? Im not going into the whole starvation mode thing BUT my friend is a shortie, very petit but with a great figure. I know most days she eats way less than 1200 but shes not starving. Quite the opposite, shes helathy happy and never gets sick (ive had a cold since December,…

Anyone with half a brain is always going to pick being happy over being miserable...thats bascially how you have laid it out. But the truth of the matter is the majority of fat people arent happy, nor healthy. Hence why they are on this website in the first place. I may sound like the bad guy but your making excuses for…

Apple spread with peanut butter - i think this is now pretty normal? Broccoli and mayo chicken sandwhich with grapes and chilli sauce! Its honestly SOOOO good!

Im probably going to get slated for this but.... American accents annoy me. And its no fault of all the lovely americans, its the fault of an american woman i work with who happens to be the most irritating person in the world so now when i hear the accent i am reminded of how i want to stab myself in the ear. daily. sorry…

Im from Scotland but live in Rotterdam in the Netherlands...missing the scottish folk! :)

Another thing ive been told by a nutritionist is all calories are equal (opposite of what someone else on this just said) She told me a calorie is a calorie, it doesnt know if it has come from avocado or a snickers bar all it knows is its a calorie and it will be processed by the body the same way as all calories. The…

I know everyone says not eating enough is the reason for not losing weight and eat back your excercise calories becasue your body needs the fuel but how do anorexic people lose so much weight then? ....not that im promoting anorexia or want to be anorexic... i just want to know how it works. If your eating only 1200 cals a…

Is this a marketing ploy from MFP? Make us eat these cookies and then be tied to the webiste for the rest of our lives trying to shift the weight? I love Nutella, and i love it in the jar on the shop shelf away from my mouth!

I used to take Yasmin, i heard it had something in it to control weight. I didnt gain weight on it, i found it helped me lose if thats possible and generally it was pretty good for me but it gave me some serious anger issues. I used to have a meltdown for at least 2 full days every month. And i mean meltdown! I cant get it…

Technically no. Your parents have the tenancy agreement and i would assume if they rent from the council they arent actually allowed to sublet to you.

Jillian Michaels dvds are all amazing!! The 30 day shred is my favourite and its only 20 mins. So many people on here will agree and tell of their success stories with Jillian! Im sure you can see some of her workouts on you tube. Good Luck! :)

Ok can someone help me out then, i am on 1200 cals per day. But right now im not losing weight. For a few months over the summer i stopped logging and ate what i wanted (within reason) and somehow lost weight. So now ive started logging again and ive gained a few pounds back. I know in the back of my mind that i should put…

I have a pair of size 8 jeans from River Island and a pair of size 14 jeans from Topshop. Placed ontop of each other they are the same. They are the same style and fit the same too. Its ridiculous!

To the person who sometimes runs with a 4 year old.... really? Your 4 year old runs with you? I dont believe that, i mean, how on earth would you keep up? But on the advice note, id take a knife with you. That way if an alligator happens to cross your path you cut that b**ch up and show it whos boss. Not only are you…

WOW is all i can say to this!! This has to be the most ridiculous post i have ever read! Running with guns and knives? Mate.....i dont care how busy and hectic your life is with your kids...there is a way to solve this. ERRRR dont go running in the dark in the rough areas. Get a gym membership like normal people. And to…

I think alcohol only has an effect on my wieght loss in winter when i seek some nibbles and winter comfort food with the alcohol. In summer i am drinking a lot...infact way too much, and i lose weight. Maybe its the hours of dancing or the hours of walking round a music festival in wellies or the fact that im so hungover i…

I wouldnt worry about it too much, its a party, enjoy it!! And maybe just go an extra 20 mins on the treadmill. If you restrict yourself and beat yourself up too much you will only end up falling off the wagon completely!

Im sorry.....is this really a thread on HOW TO SEPERATE AN EGG? It probably took you more effort to create a post about it.....

Didnt even read it through. Complete BS! There is always someone looking for something else to blame for their obesity. Eat less. Move more.

My fave dressing at the minute is a thai one..it makes a few servings tablespoon lemongrass paste/puree 1 chopped garlic clove 1 chopped chilli 1/2 small shallot chopped tablespoon lime juice 1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar tablespoon olive oil This makes quite a thick sauce that you can thin down to taste with a little…

I still dont understand why people freak about fruit. You would have to be eating a hell of a lot fo fruit to be making a huge difference to your weight. I eat a ridiculous amount of fruit, apples, all types of melon, pineapple, kiwis, berries, i just limit the amount of bananas i have. I can honestly say i do not put on…

I think when people make comments that arent positive it is generally coming from their envy or jealousy. Ive done it myself too. If someone is genuinley pleased for you they will tell you that youve done well or you look great. When someone is jealous that you have achieved something that they cant get of their fat lazy…

I would reccomend investing in proper weights as when you get to level 3 you will need them. There are some moves that wont allow you to just use water bottles or tins. First time i did level one it killed me, now i can do it level one through to 3 no problem and feel great. I read on a fourm that Jillian never intended it…
