My daughter aged 16 has just finished doing her GCSEs here in the UK and is moving onto 6th form college where no uniform is required thankfully. The cost of her state school uniform all had to be bought from a specialist official uniform shop. 1 x Jumper with badge £40 (bought 2) so £80 1 x Blouse £12 (bought 3) so £36 I…

The whole point about mainiting weight loss is to eat healthily and unless youre insulin resistant or the doctor has recommended no carbs or low carbs then everyone else ought to be eating from all the food groups. People quote cavemen as eating Paleo diets but they probably only lived to around 20 max before they died of…

BUSTED!! lmfao

Could you tell her you are under Doctor or Nurses orders? say youve been to your local health centre and been weighed etc and that they are monitoring your height/ weight /calorie intake etc and that its all closely supervised .If she asks why just say you went along for something minor and that the nurse got talking to…

"Hello, I don't think you understand... These women don't want a long-term relationship, with that man... But it sure beats sitting at home watching TV soaps alone until the right man or woman comes along... If ever... Yes, perhaps you don't know what its like being single... I was in a 19 yr relationship, then a 5 year…

If youre looking for a long term serious relationship then having a "fun" weekend which means having sex with a stranger, is not going to lead to your dream. It will be just that, a weekend, nothing more the majority of the time, if having sex with different men all the time is your goal fine, but if you want a long term…

weekends its baggy sweatshirts, pinch my husbands shirts or leggings ( call the fashion police!) or a skirt with an elasticated waist work I find a dress easiest and belt it if it gets too big. Like another poster has said, I visit my favourite stores and check out my favourite brands and keep trying them on in the…

In the days before internet dating took off people went on blind dates, I met my husband on a blind date on June 4th 1994 and we were married within 3 months and gave birth to my son on.....June4th 1995! exactly a year later lol, we have been together happily for 19 years . The advantage of a face to face meeting early on…

Dont diss bagels! there is nothing wrong with carbs especially wholemeal varieties of pasta, rice and bread. I eat wholemeal bagels and cream cheese every morning for breakfast and am losing weight, one whole new York fruit & oat bagel and one triangle of laughing cow lite cream cheese is a total of 260 calories but more…

I have the same gripes about hidden salts. I have high blood pressure and have to keep my salt intake to under 6g a day if possible. I do appreciate that im probably in the minority and that food might taste bland without salt being added, but surely if that was the case the consumer could add salt at the table at home if…

Love to know how im supposed to lift anything with arthritis in BOTH hands when even lifting the vacuum cleaner is agony and as for washing windows i almost cry with the pain. I will stick to cardio/walking thanks despite the pain in my knees from arthritis in my knees also . I might have to accept getting to skinny fat…

Maybe its 2 countries divided by a common language, but I wish you wouldnt refer to other women as sluts.Doesnt matter if theyre scantily clad or models or in the glamour industry theyre not sluts, theyre just people.

Amen to all of that Jake :::round of applause:::: totally agree with all of it

Please dont take offence at what Im about to say, as Im not trivialising it, this is just a tip which I would do, it may not be of any use... Your mother in law coming to stay is an external event, it wont affect the core you, but it is awkward having anyone around for 6mths driving the long distance is an external event…

By disparaging you, theyre tyring to stop themselves from feeling uncomfortable and awkward, immature people laugh at those things which test them, your weight loss has made them feel uncomfortbale about their own weight and unfitness. Just ignore them and if you ever go back to that bar again, go in with supportive…

Congratulations on losing so much weight through such determination and enduring to the end. You should be so proud of yourself, very inspirational to see how much weight you have lost, well done.

Not being able to walk into a shop and buy any clothes my size and if I did find anything to fit they were basically stretchy tents, I had no "shape" except for looking like a sack of potatos and no interest in buying clothes or looking good. I dressed like an 80 year old. My husband meanwhile has an outdoor job at a…

Thank you everybody for the very helpful replies, especially Kirsty who worked out my BMi would let me go as high as 10.5 stones, my worst subject at school was maths! It was really helpful to forget the numbers on the scales and think about getting into the right BMI or right weight category , the upper end of the normal…

bump from me

Aerosol creams which say something like 50 calories for 12mls, but it doesnt come out like a liquid it comes out like a blob the size of your fist it just looks high calories, how can I measure something which shoots out like a mousse

I have a large mug of hot chocolate rather than food (80 cals) then go off to bed at around 9pm so I cant late night snack, once Im in bed reading or playing games on my phone I drift off to sleep and dont even think about getting up again as im too comfortable. I used to go to bed around 11 or 12pm and would snack all…

I not only dont buy fast food I even wash the fruit and vegetables I buy at the supermarket, I also rinse meat and fish and pat dry. Its not whats in the food or the nutrients, I just get horrible visuals of people in food processing units going to the toilet and not washing their hands and it makes me heave. My fridges,…

First week ever I lost zero, but in week 2 I lost 7lb, more reassuringly in week 3, I lost 3lbs. Im very happy with a 3lb loss considering my TDEE is 1800 and my age is 53

Looks like Borats twin brother auditioning for the village people ....ewww to moustaches

My ex husband decided it would be fun for me to drive the car, we swapped seats and I carefully steered the car for around 2 or 3 miles along an ordinary road ..... the only problem with this scenario is Id never taken a lesson or passed a test in my life! makes me sweat to think about it now. He is my ex for a reason…

Sorry youre having such a rough time of it ((hugs))). Im just like you, I get upset and want to eat. You have given the reason for your overeating in your post, a lack of sleep and mental stress. You HAVE to get more sleep, even if it means going to bed at 8 or 9pm like a schoolchilds bedtime. Go upstairs close the door…

Imagining an elephant walking around minus its ear and gagging :( poor elephant

breakfasts coud be boxes of cereal such as cornflakes, rice crispies, porridge, muesli, lunches could be homemade soups, eggs, bananas, brown bread etc . Dinners could be homemade things with either brown rice, brown pasta, noodles for bulk and fibre with whatever vegetables you have and a little chicken or fish. Cans of…

Congratulations on losing 100lbs!!! that is 3,500 calories x 100lbs (each pound is 3,500 calories burned). So....over your whole weight loss journey that is 350,000 calories you DIDNT eat. 350,000!!!!! 350,000 THAT IS A HUGE NUMBER If somebody offered you a box of fancy chocolates and said have one chocolate (50 calories…
