I work in marketing for a county ambulance service here in the UK :) I would really like to make cakes for a living but i am struggling to get on a decorating course where i live :(

You could be peeing out a lot of the vital vitamins and minerals you need to help stay hydrated. I have a little knowledge on this as i have no large intestine so work hard to stay hydrated, i drink a pint (2 cups!) of water with added electrolytes and salts every day which you can get in tablets you pop into a drink and…

I'm 22, add me if you like :) i have lost 20lbs initially and am on my last 15lbs now!

Make yourself busy! I find if i am sitting watching tv i really want to eat something probably because im bored or out of habit. I started sewing but also find that painting my nails or cleaning or something can help. Also, i find doing some exercise can help with hunger. I'm not a huge exercises, about 20 - 30 mins a day…

I like guys who look like they are 'nice people' which my friends find wierd. If they look like they are nice and not arrogant (hate that!) then i'm all in! Also, nice teeth and at 5"11, i like a tall man!

you look AMAZING!!!!!

I thiiiink i had half a chicken with the spicy rice and some salad and it wasn't too calorific. Obviously no saladdressing and diet coke. I dont remember the count exactly but thats what i always have when i go now, its on their website!

I am very hungry all day at work but i am also not mentally stimulated! In the evenings when i am with family, sewing, reading, exercising, etc i am not so hungry! Or, rather i dont feel the need to eat! Wierd!

Resistance band! Both my boyfriend and i use one, i got it in tk maxx for about £12.00 and you cand o lots of different things! I also have some ankle weights which i hold to do arm stuff. Also, exercise dvds maybe?? Anyway, good luck! working out at home doesnt need to be boring :) hope you find what you're looking for!

I used to take lots of courses of steroids for my ulcerative colitis when i was younger so my weight used to yoyo - i was either completely round or boney! i once went to a family friends birthday party, his parents told me i looked lovely to which my mum replied 'No she doesnt, she isn't normally this fat' I was 16! Not…

I just realised life is too short to be unhappy with yourself, only i can do something about it.

I didn't eat badly generally, i ate well but too much of it i.e. big jacket potato with full can of tuna, huge salad and cheese and salad dressing. Lots of vegetables and fruit, low fat yoghurt and diet drinks, i didn't eat full fat anything but i overate when i did eat. I also tended to eat the same portion sizes as my…

The floorboards are uneven which is why i keep shunting them about to find the best reading! Oh well....i'll have to try and find the flattest bit!

Mine are digital! :( They must just hate me

I would love love LOVE to be a wedding planner! :)

Well, yes. Really what i should have said is im trying to avoid highly processed carbs so i stick to occasional organic oatcakes which are low in salt, have no sugar or gluten and are low GI. It is difficult to avoid carbs (well for me expecially it seems!)and i am trying to make wiser choices is what i was trying to…

I have been trying to do better carb choices instead of avoiding them so i dont eat bread (unless desperate), pasta, white rice etc but i do still eat bananas, i have sweet potatoes, oat cakes etc. There is nothing wrong with eating any of the things i have listed, it is all about moderation and what works for you I found…

Same! But we have been together for 3 years, almost inseperable as soon as we met! (But hopefully not insufferable for our friends...!)

Ok thanks everyone, going to make some tonight :)

Should have said, i'm form the UK and we don't have exciting condiments here...unless you count marmite!

Do you make it yourself or buy it? I'd really like to make it myself and am unsure whether it's literally just stewed apples...! Also, great idea about freezing apple slices. never even thought about it!!

Lovely americans, what are grits???

Thanks! I'll have a think and probably give them a try tomorrow night or next week! I think they will be freezable too so i could bake half and bake the rest the next time :)

I have started doing lower carb recently. As little bread as possible, no white rice, no pasta etc and have found that i've lost 1lb in 3 days (thats how long i've been doing it) whereas it took me a month to lose 3lbs before! It could be a lovely coincidence and i am having to think a lot more about what i eat as i used…

Since i started dating (at 15ish, 7 years ago) i have only really been single for about 4 months twice! I don't know why, i never seem to want a boyfriend, they just seem to appear and i settle for a little while and get bored and move on. They have never really been serious but i have been with my lovely boyfriend now for…

My boyfriend does SOME of these things, usually if he is not working (he often does nights, long stints and has four/five days off). If that is the case he will take me to work, get up with me and have breakfast and do the washing/make tea and try to do tidying etc. I have no problem with him slobbing about and relaxing…

I bought some beef yesterday, totally going to make this!!

Nandos! There's a 20quid option for a whole chicken and two sides i think, i get the spicy rice and share the chicken with my boyfriend. works out well! it's tasty and filling :) Also, harvester, whetherspooms, pizza express, Just have a google :)

I'm 5"11 with a medium build and i currently weigh 180 with a goal of 160, i did go from 198 to 170 but let my appetite get the better of me so i'm beginning again from 183! Its taken me 4 weeks to lose 3lbs and im on 1600 cals and only eat about half my exercise cals. I'm considering doing a version of the dukan diet i.e.…
