Well actually when I say we use Quorn, what I really mean is we use the Tesco own brand alternative. It's considerably cheaper and tastes pretty much identical.

We use it for chili all the time in our house. Neither me or my girlfriend are vegetarian, we just like it because it's lower in fat and easier to cook from frozen. It tastes fine. It doesn't taste exactly like real mince, you can tell a difference, but not in a bad way. Sometimes a difference isn't always good or bad,…

Just wear a suit. Suits are cool.

Well i do everything cooked burt I never know if I'm doing what I'm supposed to. Problem is, with the MFP database, the vast majority of it is user submitted, so you have no way of knowing whether the values were entered based on cooked or uncooked food.

Moving house on the 10th so almost all my wages (other than the normal bills like rent, food and utilities) are going on moving expenses, including a £500 security deposit, money for a new fridge, a £60 charge to cancel british gas, etc, etc, etc, etc. Also had to pay for car tax already, that's another £90 for 6 months.…

Hello. I am off of Mansfield.

Some really good answers in here! As a comic book geek, I'm so proud of all you MFPers for not just going straight to the obvious answers. Rorschach and Deadpool are too incredibly interesting characters (who also happen to kick *kitten*, and are both very funny guys).

I need to geek out for a second just to point out that batman isn't technically a superhero, as he posseses no superhuman abilities. But still, he's awesome. In fact that makes him even more awesomer!

^^ THIS! The Tick is awesome Also... Earthworm Jim!

Special K diet just makes the weight drop out of your back end due to all the fibre ;)

Ok I've had a quick glance at your diary and I think I would agree with the people saying you need to up your calories. Think of your total daily calories as the amount you eat minus your exercise calories. Hypothetical situation: Your goal is 1200. You eat 1200 exactly, putting you bang on target. Then you work off 400…

What kind of job do you do where you have a weight or body fat limit?

I'm a meat eater but I buy Quorn because I like it. It doesn't taste the same as mince meat, it tastes different but not in a bad way. Different isn't always better or worse, sometimes it's just different.

ummm.... bump?

a higher incline on a treadmill does a lot for extra calorie burn. like the other guy said, it eends really on what your goals are. maybe try both and see which burns most calories. i like the other suggestion too, of doing both on alternate days.

Really? I care!

Haha! They're not sweets!

*drool*

You live near me! But I also can't add you because we are already friends.

If that phto is really you, then there is no way you can lose 60lbs and still be healthy!

I get gas from protein shakes, as do the 2 other guys I know who have them.

Other than a good body of course.... Glasses! Hell yes.

Say hello to Olly, or as we call him, DogBot. He thinks that Dogs are better than all people (except Daddy of course).

Hopefully I'll be able to give many more follow ups, as 7lbs turns into 14lbs, then 21lbs, 28lbs .... :D

Do you live anywhere near a JJB / DW sports store? We've got one here in Mansfield and they have machines that can analyse your gait for you and help you pick a pair for your feet. Theyve got quite a good range of running shoes in aswell.

Perhaos I shouldve put that warning on mine too, haha!

For binge drinking (student special) you can try to cut down here and there, and try to do it sensibly, but one way or another unless you starve yourself all day you will go WAY over on calories. Edit: I should be keen to point out that im not suggesting you do starve yourself all day! The bravado of saying "eating's…

Remember girls, dont upload your bikini pictures to MFP ... use photobucket or something similar instead, so we can have then in nice hi-res glory :)

HAHA! That was the only reason I commented too!
