I watched Beverely Callard once explaining that you pull a gurn similar to "Blakey" on "On the buses" and that helped prevent turkey neck!

Thank you very much:smile: I hear what you are saying and I will check out those links too

Just an hour out with the dogs....after huge NY lunch of venison roast etc, etc etc.....not been exercising as much as I should recently and my weight is back - but it's NY day so my resolution starts tomorrow.... Regime starts tomorrow - got Just Dance and Davina Intense to grapple with x

Wow....thank you for all these fantastic ideas......I have a feeling my cucumbers will be gone in no time!!

lol ....I am so much in that age group that I had to go back and check what age it was after my last post as I'd forgotten .....

Hi, I'm 46 and have been on the site a year or so, but dip in and out depending on how motivated I am - so I could certainly do with some friends to help motivate and to encourage - please feel free to add me :)

Do you fast on 2 consecutive days per week? Be interested to follow your progress - I saw the programme (or a programme.....) and remember thinking it would be good and have lots of health benefits. I looked up the Genesis programme but didn't fancy the rigidity- I hate being told what to eat and what not to eat - I seem…

Quaker oat so simple porridge ,,,preferably the sultana, raisin and cranberry flavour, with semi skimmed milk and a cup of coffee....or 2, although I am trying to reduce the coffee, as I want to try to flatten my tummy a bit. I have a cookbook also that recommends a mixture of oats, pecans, flax oil, honey lemon and…

I get late night munchies too. I try to avoid alcohol (as it makes them worse, and my willpower non existant) I will have a hot chocolate (one of the diet ones - 40ish cals) - tends to fill me up - or diet coke, although that tends to keep me up back and forth to the loo at night so not the best.

Bit off the topic title I know...but if you have a nintendo Just dance and Zumba are good fun and get you really sweating without thinking you are actually doing an exercise routine ?

Just looked and I see that pernod has 75 cals a shot - so diet coke and pernod might be my treat next time.... And vodka and sugar free red bull looks fairly good too Could never stick to one glass of red wine unfortunately..... "no thanks, I've had enough" seems to escape me..but often the muppet I make of myself after a…

Wow ...it would be great for there to be a list by calories, as sort of a reminder ;) Unfortunately, I am in rural Cumbria and there's nothing like that.....in fact I rate it as a sucess when I manage not to have a few drinks and then get tempted by the food board!! I think the idea of diet mixers and high proof spirits is…

Welcome !!! Hope you get as much out of this site as I do :)

My exercise is mainly walking with my dogs - and I bought some reebok rainwalker trainers on the sale at the factory outlet - I absolutely love them and they are so comfy - they are also black, so the mud doesn't show so much ( I am in the cumbrian lakes!) and they have a protective coating so don't get wet so…

Personally, I'd go for the wii fit ....it will measure you, motivate you and give you lovely stuff to do inside when the weather is rubbish

Hi, As a UK user of MFP, I can't imagine you will have much problem. Most of the main stuff is on MPF - and eating out will bring you smaller portions...so easier to be aware. Try subway too, for fresh stuff that is easy to calculate and listed on MPF. Enjoy your trip :))

Well done you !! I will try to hold that lovely quote in my head :)

meeeee toooooo

Fab advice ...Thanks :)

Wonderful - well done you !! :bigsmile:

I am glad to see mine reducing a little bit ...I am a UK 34G and have noticed my bras being somewhat empty on the cup ! Will wait until I lose some more before getting fitted again though.. I have a treadmill and power walk - would love to jog but I feel I really don't have the anatomy for it at present..... Will try some…

I have been feeling really tired too...but I haven't been taking the vitamins supplements...think perhaps I should...maybe it's when our bodies are pulling on reserves for calories that we experience this??

I like white fish but not other seafoods. On the other hand, I HATE lettuce - and after many years of trying to force myself to eat it I have given up...I can lose weight and be healthy without having to put up with lettuce leaves...and I'm sure you can survive and do well without fish....plenty of other yummies to go in…

I'd be interested to hear the replies to this...as I love my carboanted water......hope it's not really bad for us !!

Thanks Marie, I'll check it out - anything new to try is exciting..esp if it helps with the battle of the bulge ! Take care, Gail x

Hi Caliecat, We have lots of snow here in UK (they are saying it's our worst winter in 30 years) although it's starting to thaw now...don't think I could post enough to you to build a snowman lol ! What are flax muffins? I have never heard of them and wonder if they are called something different over here??

the website drinkaware lists the calories and has a little calculator tool too...but beware ...ITS SCARY !!

Thanks Marie....the dogs have a charmed life I suppose as they are always walked at least 3 times a day...except I generally eat more and drink considerably more (red wine is my demon)...so now I've cut down on the food and cut out the drink I'm hoping......!!! Jack Rusells are real fun aren't they...I have a collie cross…

Breakfast - quaker oats so simple porridge sachet with semi skimmed milk - 2 cups coffee (white no sugar) Walked dogs - about 1 hour Snack - cup of beef extract, then later a banana Lunch - homemade vegetable chilli and basmati rice (I made a big tub on Monday and have had it for lunch every day - today is the last of it)…
