  • I thought a troll was someone being provocative just to get a reaction. Are his comments helpful to the OP? I'm not sure they are, I just offered a different perspective as I have found success controlling binges and craving, my post was supportive and helpful. The man who obviously lives on this forum given he's posted…
  • No dear boy, I don't eat refined sugar, stop being a troll looking for an argument. Be tolerant and understand that for some people eliminating processed sugar JUST WORKS. Yes I eat a little fruit occasionally, but rarely, yes I eat very dark chocolate made with xylitol occasionally for the health benefits of cocoa but I…
  • I really don't crave all that sugary crap any more - no lies. It's really easy to say no. I used to fantasise about gorging myself on cakes and ice cream and chocolate and puddings. I used to actually hunt for my next sugary hit. For me it is a drug I'd rather not have in my life. I have taken back control of my food which…
  • 10-12% is my ideal Hubba hubba but my guy is more like 20% and he's the love of my life, I don't care if he loses all his hair, or goes grey or never looks muscly as long as he's healthy and respects me.
  • :happy: A different perspective: I stopped eating sugar. Now I don't crave anything. :happy:
  • Am cleaning out my wardrobe today spookily! I am a uk 14 so everything 18 or above is going to my charity hospice shop.
  • Without exception all the people who have commented on my new slimmer figure are overweight or obese. Including my family. People seem to feel the need to get me to agree with them that I've lost enough now, or that I must admit I look good. It's so annoying because if I say Yes, I'm actually lying to shut them up. It…
  • OP, Don't be mad honey. Food is not the enemy, it's not something you should use as a reward or reason for cardio punishment. You could use a better reward - a new music album, a trip to the cinema, a fun day out. Given your history with an ED I would say "reframe this scenario" Change the word cheat to treat if you feel…
  • I live low carb, you can add me, diary is open, it really helped me to have a few rules that stick to as much as possible. No refined sugar No artificial sweeteners unless naturally derived No wheat or gluten No potatoes, rice, pasta or flour Very little cheese (a treat) Very little fruit (because I'm really sensitive to…
  • Carbs might be fine for you and some others here, but not for me and some other others!!! The OP wanted help with low carb ideas not to be told not to do low carb! OP my diary is open, I eat low carb all the time- I aim for 20% carbs in my macros each day. I don't always achieve it but I try to work at it, it's not a chore…
  • Wow, what do you do exactly to burn 1000 cals a day? I struggle to get 600 burned in two hours! Also losing inches is better than losing weight, that means you're laying down lean muscle tissue and losing fat simultaneously! Win win! Try adjusting your macros to a more p40/f40/c20 ratio within your calories if you feel you…
  • If you're committed to this plan, you should be motivated by the results you will be getting every week. Remember losing 2lbs a week is pretty aggressive but if you stay driven and consistently focused you can expect to get to goal in 28 weeks or just over six months. But realistically you'll probably reach goal and keep…
  • I only have it after training. I have a whole serving after heaving lifting, and half a serving after dance/yoga/badminton/pace kit/walking My body is REALLY good at storing carbs as fat so can't use it as meal replacement, but to help my muscles repair and hopefully not hurt so much or for so long after workouts.…
  • If my guy didn't look at porn I'd be more concerned!
  • I can wear my old bras as hats if I cut them in half..... I was a 38J Yes my bras are usually about £40/£50 each.
  • In my regime you have to earn a treat day (notice I said treat not cheat) usually after you reach your goal so you can maintain and splurge occasionally knowing you haven't undone all your hard work. Weigh yourself every morning after you pee. Make yourself think before eating, does this food help me get to my goal? Make…
  • A bloke in my team has a really loud annoying ring tone that comes on full volume from the microsecond someone rings him making me jump EVERY TIME, He also says "pardon" every time I speak so I have to face him and say it slower and more loudly (I am already quite loud) even if it's got nothing to do with him. Even more…
  • I had to give myself a good talking to. What do I want more? My health or sugar, which I chose to give up because it makes me really moody and gives me insomnia. What do I want more? To look lovely in smaller sized clothes or get a moments gratification from a product containing wheat? By rationalising I have managed to…
  • Rescue them from what? Themselves? A walrus? The cold? My bloke's cooking?
  • Milk Broccoli Fresh salmon Cabbage Cashew nuts Raspberries Eggs :-)
  • Not sure why your pics don't work!
  • My Dave struggles with the healthy breakfasts even after six months of starting the day with them. He has been supportive, he seemed to lose interest in me in the bedroom a bit when my boobs shrank but he's enjoying the hiking, walking and extra badminton I can now play. You are right that you can lead a horse to water…
  • Trust your nose, fresh chicken has very little odour. If it smells sweet - bin it.
  • Pilates, calisthenics, Thai Chi, Tae Bo, Zumba, other dancing games on Xbox or DVD.....
  • People should just experiment on themselves! If they suspect their IBS, tummy pains and/or bloating to come from wheat, stop eating it for a whole week. Then eat a slice of bread and record what happens to your body. If no change - great - it's not wheat making you feel yucky, try to eliminate something else like eggs or…
  • Nope :-(
  • I've got about 40 to go - am over halfway but this half is the hardest half I've been told.... I'm getting married next year so I have a good healthy timescale of 7 months to do it in. (That's 30 weeks, so that's only a little over a pound a week.) You can add me if you like :-)
  • Tax free :-)
