Hmmm, i do both too, let's hope we get an explanation!! :drinker:

I certainly can see a difference! Well done! Keep it up ;-)

Look within yourself for your willpower and determination! Then look to us for motivation and support! Live it, feel it, burn it, love it! :drinker:

Congratulations! Keep up your brilliant journey! :happy:

As i've cut down on my alcohol, and am eating healthily, i've considered all the options, and so i have cut out BREAD. I know it's going to be a challenge, and i will miss it terribly!! :sad: However, remember that Lent is also about inward reflection, trying to improve your outlook on life, and not just the fasting. Good…

Your research is correct! It's not necessarily all about the giving up things either (as you've mentioned) but instead you could DO something extra in your life i/e volunteering, donation to a charity etc...... Your intentions sound very honourable, good luck in your quest. I've been here since January, lost 25lbs and met…

BRILLIANT ;-) :drinker:

You would just lose a bit of water out of your body. There is no "quick-fix" diet and exercise is the only way

Hi, You shouldn't really be eating anything that close to going to bed! However, a small handful of nuts or a Dairylea light cheese triangle usually takes the edge off my hunger. A small banana or orange isnt going to make much of a carb difference if we're honest, but i suppose it depends on how strict you are being with…

Well done ;-) :drinker:

BOTH! ;-) I have 1 piece of toast with peanut butter on about 40/50 mins before exercise, then depending on what exercise, i always eat afterwards, how can u not be hungry?! U need to fuel your body or it will just click into starvation mode.

You don't have to cut out the treats and things, just need to keep them in proportion. I nearly fainted the first time i saw how much a Dominos (or other chains') delivery pizza was in calories- more than a days worth for me!!! :noway: Undoing all the good you've done in the week though must be pretty soul-destroying, but…

I'll compromise on the stats:- i'll report them at the END of March, that gives me even more focus and i wanna be proud of what i've accomplished! The reason i'm here at all is to lose weight and be in better shape for summer. Oh, and most importantly: March Challenge Day 3: Goal Calories: 1690, actual: 1617. Thanks for…

I can't understand why anyone wouldn't log everything?! I'm pretty much religious now with reporting everything i eat and drink. I use it to plan forward so that if i want an alcoholic drink in the evening, i have to factor in being really good during the day, and most likely do some exercise too. I know why people forget…

Oooh measurements (!!!!!!) Aaarrgggh! I don't like giving these as i'm not where i wanna be!!! However, in the spirit of things, and in the hope that by the end of March there is a marked improvement, i'll put mine on once i've fininshed work. And i feel everyone's pain about the weekends!!! :drinker:

That sounds like a good idea!! Please count me in to your challenge ;-)

Hi, You are defnitely in the right place, it's all about focus and if you want to do it, you CAN! I've lost 18lbs since joining MFP this year, and i've already met some amazing people on here. The food and nutrition pages are also a biiiiiiig help! Once you start reporting exactly what you are eating, it will no longer be…

You don't have to eat it all!!! Go for a walk or something and burn a few calories to make room for this food? Only eat some of it, eat slowly and fill up on salad? After i've had a big meal i'm scared to report it on my daily food target, but it's a learning curve! Good luck

Hi, I find it funny that there's so many adverts about venues for "all you can eat"!! Then there's those ones with the massive cup-cakes. and then diet pill ones! Tsk! it's not conducive to keeping fit is it?! We need to keep our focus in this world of temptation :drinker:

Hi, Ahhh, i'm glad i'm not the only one who thought that!!!!! I'm in the same boat. Shoulders, neck and face seem to be getting better, but my tummy remains!!!!!!! Are you taking measurements as well as your weekly weigh-in? I've noticed small changes and going down a buckle size on my belt (yey!) i think i want immediate…

Hehe good use of the word "chunder" !! :laugh: I shared a bottle of vodka with my bro last night, and when i came to put it on my stats, it equalled 750 cals!!!! D'oh! So, i jumped on the exercise bike this morning, 30 mins, 550 cals burnt. Feeling a bit better now Note to self, burn more BEFORE going on a session, as i…

that's amazing, and also it is motivational for me!! ;-) i've lost 18lbs so far, and your success story will keep me going! well done!: :flowerforyou:

LOL !!!! :explode: Just take some deep breaths ;-) However, i will join you in shaking a fist !

Hi, it sounds like you are referring to polycystic ovary syndrome? Weight loss is probably the most effective method of restoring normal ovulation/menstruation, but many women find it very difficult to achieve and sustain significant weight loss. A diet of low-carbohydrate and regular exercise may help. Some doctors…

I do exercise monday and tuesday, have wednesdays off, exercise thursday, then either friday or saturday. you have to be careful you 're not tiring yourself out. why are you finding it hard to stick to your calories? have u put a realistic weight loss in? if you are not committed to getting in shape, it will be difficult.…

Pendulum is a quality selection ;-)

On my cross-trainer i whack the I-Pod on loud!!!! A selection of what keeps me going are:- Pointer Sisters - I'm so excited A-Ha - Take on Me Pendulum - Slam Pendulum - Granite Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme X-Press - Lazy Britney Spears - Womanizer Faith No More - From Out of Nowhere My Chemical Romance - Black Parade…

Hi, A small handful of peanuts helps stop my cravings, and the protein doesn't interfere with your blood sugar levels so you shouldn't experience an insulin "crash". However, since I have been healthy eating, i've found a new love of cherries, blueberries and grapes. I also cook a chicken breast and add spices/seasonings…
