Thanks guys! Went for a massive walk yesturday so, feeling a lot better about my calories in vs. calories out :P

Mmmm...cheese cake. I am actually baking a bunch for my teamates at work, as I'm leaving at the end of the week. My point about chocolate, butter etc was mainly because I want to bake about fifty different things, and I have to cut it down to baking maybe once a week. Mostly because all the ingredients are so expensive.…

Well, Iost a stone, just by being poor, not eating a lot of meat or cheese, and having to walk everywhere. Mostly I cooked everything myself, even made pastry etc from scratch. So, cook everything yourself and stick to mostly veggie stuff, and walk more :) sorted.

I use lighter than light mayo, something like 50 cals per tablespoon. And I try to use way less, and not butter my sandwich bread.

Mine is people telling me to wash my hands after going to the bathroom, funnily enough. I'm a girl, I don't pee on my hands, and as a former cleaner, I know that in some cases, the cloth used on the toilet seat, is also used on the taps, hand dryers etc. There's a hand sanitizer pump outside the bathroom and I use that,…

I'm going back to college this year, and I remember my weekly food bill being about £10 before. I mostly lived on vegetarian food, baked mushrooms, veggie pasta etc. But you can bulk up turkey mince (v.cheap) with breadcrumbs and make lean meatloaf and burgers. Homemade tomato soup, turkey mince chilli. Homemade is always…

There was a recipie in Country Living magazine recently about brownies made with non-fat greek yoghurt. I couldn't cut it out because it was a library magazine, but I'm sure a quick google will show it up.

Danio yoghurt - 150 calories Minimilk ice lolly Salt and sweet proppercorn :) These are my go to for sweeties, but yeah, vanilla ice cream with a banana and chocolate sauce - heaven. (You could skip the banana for some nuts - just for texture)

Walker all my life, and then I moved to Bath, which is basically all uphill, that's plenty exercise, not matter what anyone else says. Nowadays I walk my dog, walk my friends, walk mu family, usually cross country and up hills, over fields and through woods. Love every minute - except when I think I hear zombies. Vivid…

I am a caramel latte fiend - but since I moved back to a village where the nearest Costa is a 30 min buss ride away, I have stopped indulging. but, the other night I went out for dinner - turns out one calzone is over 800 calories!!!! So, I'd say, resturant food and alcohol are my big big calorie luxuries. Gin and slimline…

Tell me about it, I work in telesales, and every time I get yelled at I feel like a Mcdonalds or a chocolate bar from the vending machine. I can't always stop myself, or maybe the truth is I don't want to stop myself. But, if you're too tired and stressed for cooking at night, I suggest those ready meals at ASDA, in the…

I'm a poor student, so learnt the benifits of cheap cuts. Try switching chicken breast for chicken thighs - they taste a lot better and they're cheap. Frozen fruit, or canned fruit in natural juice is sometimes a little cheaper than fresh, if not, try a market where you can buy seasonal and save money. By own brand at…

I have exactly the same problem finding low cal stuff that keeps me full. I have a desk job, so it's tempting to snack out of boredom. I have either a Danio yogurt with an apple, which is surprisingly filling, or ready to eat chicken skewers and an apple - that or a little sushi box. Watch out for salt in premade…

I use calendula cream from Amazon, it works on eczema, which I suffer from, and it's really good on heat/sweat rash too.
