That was one helluva effective campaign. Even people in MFP are still quoting it.

Gee. That was a LOL moment. I shall physically restrain myself the next time i sneak out to the chicken coop for a midnight snack.....

YES! my friends asked me how i did it and i said i counted calories and exercised, and then they told me of all the diets that they were doing, including expensive shakes, fat burning pills... To be fair, they have had results and they have lost more fat than me doing it the expensive way, but there is no magic bullet, and…

i doubt the 6lbs are all fat gain - it must be water retention. Have a 'perfect day' today and i bet the 6 lbs will fall off (or maybe only 2lbs). There are consequences to our actions! What i do when i've been naughty is to cut out carbs for dinner for an evening or two. It's a silly short term tactic but i am always…

indeed. it's a life long strategy.

it's soo difficult! I'm terrible at portion control. I love food and when i am dieting my belly shrinks and i feel fuller faster. Then i eat a wee bit more and a wee bit more and suddenly, portion sizes are huge and nothing fills me up anymore :( What i did learn was that once my scales broke, i went mad and put on all the…

Hey, Thanks for that. You're right. I am happy 90% of the time, there are some cute dresses that are a little bit too tight, but that just requires a bit of discipline i guess. There is no real reason for me to lose weight after the wedding and because i'm rather happy (besides the occasional down day), i don't force…

AH! The voice of reason. My husband forbade me to buy them and told me that our scales were good enough and typing in the data manually into MFP was good enough too, thank you very much. Then he went on about the consumerist capitalist culture and how i shouldn't be influenced by these well placed ads..... you get the…

Hello, I love super noodles for dinner, especially if i pop it into my own soup stock and chuck loads of vegetables in. However, i've just discovered that they are about 500kcals per little pack. this is ridiculous! I only get 200kcal from a pack of Udon noodles, so i am not understanding this. Anyone knows why they are so…

i read somewhere that if one person hangs out with overweight people, they are more likely to become overweight. and vice versa. so, there is some subconscious influencing going on. Peer pressure and all that. But going all out and declaring war on a friend for weight gain is just irresponsible and annoying. It's like…

This is what i ate: Breakfast: Woke up too late and couldn't get it in, stuffed 6 pringels in. 10 min bike ride to the beach Lunch: 1 piece garlic bread Sausage and Mash (small portion) some chips salad 20 min bike ride home (it was uphill. took twice as long) Dinner: reasonable sized Stir fried chinese noodles with mixed…

thanks for the advice! Ok i'm going to admit something - i looked for free at home strength training guides, and i went to sparkpeople.com, which is a similar site to MFP. They gave me a whole range of home exercises to do, so it's great! (they've also got loads of good articles and fancy advertising) The only thing that…

Hi everyone, Just came back from Skiing, and i temporarily dislocated my knee! That means NO EXERCISE! What shall i do, my friends? I'm sticking to my 1250 cal limit, (and going over sometimes), and i had great results last week! However, i don't think that i can diet myself into weight loss for a prolonged period while i…

Oh yes! I've lost the 3 pounds that i put on during my one week holiday! This was after one week of MFP - nothing drastic! That means that my body is psycho and puts on and loses weight really quickly. Anyone else with a body that behaves like mine?

i don't understand! how come we can only lose 1 pound a week and put on 3 pounds so easily? i thought the equation goes both ways? ARGGHH..

Hi everyone, I just came back from a week of skiing in France and man, after the cheese, the fondue and the general fatty living (plus my knee injury which prevented me from exercising it away), i've put on 1.6 kg! that's like 3.5 pounds, right??? ARGH! THIS IS DEPRESSING!!! And it's all in one week too! this is madness.…

I find that stir fries are the way to go. Ingrediants: 1) mixed frozen vegetables (big, cheap pack from ICELAND) 2) pasta (get large packs from LIDL) (or you can get those AMOY stir fry egg noodles) 3) fresh tomatoes 4) Garlic and onion 5) Soy sauce cook 50g dry of pasta for about 12 minutes. when pasta is cooking, fry up…

well... what i did was to eat the crisps (181 cal) and then some yogurt and nuts. with the exercise i'm planning to do today, i'll still have 700 cals to eat dinner with! dawn

oh yes in the UK crisps = potato chips Chips = fat juicy fries. Fries = the stuff you get at Burger king or Macdonalds. They are thin and Belgiums have them with Mayonaise.

it's been 1 hour and i'm still hungry! and i can't exercise now. i'm at work :(

I started this 3 weeks ago. The goal is 17 lbs lost by next may. after the first 2 weeks i lost 4 lbs, and i'm rather happy as the clothes fit really well and i feel good. But for the 3rd week nothing really happened - to be fair, i went away for a long weekend and i think busted by diet by more than a couple of hundred…

thanks dudes! i got the shritake noodles delivered and they are excellent!!

Heya, I'm exactly your height and weight! And the same goal too! 3 weeks ago i started at 150lbs and now i'm at 144lbs, which is good already, but i do want to get to 135lbs. This week, nothing is happening. I shall add you as a friend and see how you're doing! Dawn

heya, does this mean that if we deep fry with Cononut oil, it won't be converted into trans fat at 350 temperatures??

wow .. i guess those 8 minutes are over. good luck and keep on posting!

congratulations!! You know, MFP tells me that i'm only allowed 1250 a day and i'm ALWAYS over it by 100-200 calories. ARGH Dawn

we don't get shritake noodles in the UK! Not at least that i know. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THESE MAGIC NOODLES? Dawn

Hi everyone, I've had a dilemma last night. Yesterday, i rushed to the community centre for my circuits class, but it was cancelled. It was terrible because i already banked the 500 calories from that class in the afternoon and had 2 pieces of cake, so if i didn't do that class, i wouldn't have enough calories to eat…

Heya! i think pasta is really healthy, just watch the portion sizes! Thin crust pizza is also great - good italian places don't drown it with oil like the takeaways do. and lean chicken and vegetables are always good .. dawn
