You'll be surprised with the amount of people I meet in my feild of work that just wont entertain the need to drink water and end up being treated for serious behavioural problems and end up being transfered to an organic ward the hosital... Mind you I'm glad the post is getting attention..... :happy:

The web sites are littered with people with dishonourable intentions, and when you think about what they aim to achieve they obviously have a close proximity to your area ( easy reach), and will go to real effort to get what they want.. Working in the mental health sector I get to see many people with varied social skills…

There's no problem with eating the same meals every day, so long as throughout your day, weeks, etc you get some variety other wise you'll start to get a deficiency in some of your bodies needs ie protein, vitamins, calcium etc.. they say the first meal of the day is the most important, so why not start that way, the only…

Does three cats,one dog and a FAT OVER WEIGHT rabbit count???? It's a made house here most days..... lol

I'm a nursing assistant working on an acute inpatient mental health unit, with a back ground of 10 years in adult learning disability with challenging behaviour 3 years of which I was a residential care home manager.

To sum it up "you are what you eat", the last 1000 meals pretty much tells you how your body will develop, if you eat faty foods, you'll end up storing the fat.. I wouldnt go as far as saying "your boby is a temple" but you really need to pay it some attention to what is good for it, and whats bad try to stay clear from…

Sean Paul Other Side Of Love Ray Foxx Boom Boom (Heartbeat) (feat. Rachel K Collier) If I'm working from in doors I'll use KISS FM (UK), or any other fast upbeat dance music, or radio while out on the road running, and do the exercise to the pace of the music, faster and harder the better...... take care Paul

I plateaued for 6 weeks, and the advice I got was to stick with it and then the weight will drop, and so it did, and was I pleased.... Another thing I have done over the last week was to take a week off and eat at a maintenance diet on cals, I wanted to ease up a bit because I thought my body had got to used to the level…

I think you are pushing yourself to hard to lose such a weight loss, I have recently tried to lose 2lb aweek, and through exercise and deficit I made myself ill and I'm no light weight when it comes to effort, I became weak and had numerous dizzy spells while moving, and rising from low levels, so I had to go back to 1.5…

I feel for you having to go through this situation. Your current issue looks as if it stems from being bullied and this has manifested as a personal dislike of yourself which is now deeply rooted in your subconscious. I work in a mental health ward in the UK and see many people of all ages take such drastic actions to lose…

I agree, much of the weight loss would have been water and some weight would have been stomach contents from over eating and the adjustment to a new in take/diet… It’s true, to get a better idea we should see your food diary, but one thing that comes straight to mind is that an increase of salads there will be an increase…

Hi I work in the health care field in the UK, Mental Health, the details below are part of my training as it affects patients on mental health medication.. I hope it helps... I', always looking to add new friends so feel free to add me in... Paul:smile: coffee doesn't tend to be a problem while dieting but you need to take…

unfortunately with every action there will be a result or in some consequences and not all ways good ones, looking after our health is our personal responsibility and the reality is you need to take responsibility. I've not read one comment that although to you may seem harsh is being unsupported. Some times what we need…

Hi every one, born and bred in Essex but now live in Ipswich Suffolk, feel free to add me to your friends list ( all welcome, feel free to look at my profile if it will make you feel more comfortable) Paul

I've been silly and tried doing it every day after work, I didn't make allowances for my usual work activities and now have an injury to my ankle and shoulder, so dont over do it, listen to your body.... and give your body time to unwind a little... This was all based on 30 mins a session.. take care....

I've just been to a web site and this is what they added in for side effects: Surely there must be some side effects? Yes! Very low calorie diets (VLCDs) cause fat to be broken down rapidly, producing a by-product called ketones. These can result in tiredness, weakness, dizziness, insomnia and nausea. However, these…

have you suffered any serious side effects? I work in health care and many of my colleagues are very adverse to LL. I have heard many negative comments, in particular that they know people who have done this diet and all their hair fell out and that their health became poor and compromised and that it is worrying and that…

Don't put all your trust in the scales. They'll wine you up. Its highly likely water retention

Hi, I've managed to lose my weight by just "move more, eat less" and to eat what I like, thats how most others manage their diet. I've tried to lose more than 2 lb a week and it made me ill with giddy spells every time I stood up... You need to find what works for you..... I've recently heard that Dawn French had lost a…

I t took a while for me to understsnd how fat is lost, the one thing I have found true to word for me is that you can not predict where your body will first lose it's fat, some lose it from thier upper legs, or there backside, me... I lost it from the face and neck, then the legs.... but its still hanging around my stomach…

Hi, although I've not found much on this site you could always try " All recipes ". I get most of mine from here.. Happy hunting and enjoy your MFP journey...Paul

Hi, as a parent with a daughter who has reach high school it’s difficult to maintain a level of balance with social, educational and recreational activities. You have to take into personal likes and dislikes. As working on a mental health unit in the UK we find that those lengths of hours are excessive if it is day in day…

When you tone up the muscles after doing the correct exercises then you'll see a change, it will take time.

Hi, Feel free to add me to your friends, check my profile if it will make you feel more comfortable... Enjoy your MFP journey. All the best Paul

That's right once you in past midnight then the counters reset. You'll get to grips with it eventually. Best of luck.

I've not heard of the product but have just googled it on Amazon to look at the reviews... it seems to have a good ratings and sounds like a product I'll look into at a later date.... let me know how you get on with it....

Hi Wendy, you've gone through so much and the changes appear difficult for you... I'd like to invite you to be my MFP friend and add me to your friends list.... Hope to hear more from you in the future... take care.....

Thanks to all that commented, I'm going to try runtastic first and then test the others over time, they all seem to have something to benefit from... many thanks again...

Hi Thanks for your reply. My back was damaged while training to apply for the UK fire service. I twisted T9 = 11 and damaged a disc in the L region which is now compressing the spinal cord. I do agree that constate exercise does keep the pain away and I remain very mobile..... I think what I'll do is to start off light…
