oh superb stuff Way2slk, excellent info, and that isn't a million miles away from where I am, well, in the context of 400 and 379 20 or so doesn't sound too bad lol Really appreciate the info and WOW on the 10 miles, that is some distance dude.

lol I actually quite like that response lol it surprised me but I dig it. I will get my bike out (last rode 8 years ago) and see what maintenance it needs, do it, then see if I squash the tyres down despite being fully inflated...which I suspect it will do. Still like to hear other's experiences but thanks man, I probably…

I don't care what my hairdresser's hair is like, or my dentist's teeth, if their hair or teeth are bad I will avoid the people THEY go to. I care about substance, not style.

Runkeeper, spot on in my experience. At least, it tallies up with google my tracks.

I love this thread.

Well there must be some reason you seek out topics with vegan in the title and then suggest they just reverse their dietary requirements and possibly medical and philosophical reasons and beliefs, in addition to their choices and likes. I can't think of one that would be deemed reasonable or helpful. And you are 64 too?…

haha you too man, have a good one!

LMAO yes the internet is quite an eye opening place lol Loved that post, sorry for bringing the grubby uncouth world into your life lol

The fact vegans and vegetarians exist bothers you... why?

Why would you even waste your time making that post?

lol no, the tossed salad bit... look it up... like i said, i am immature lol

yum indeed, that looks immense P.S. dried chickpeas literally just need to be soaked overnight, using dried goods is a little off putting at first but i am getting into it provided i plan the day ahead i am good to go. Cheaper too... i think.

Yes, seeded, nutted..whatever, and absolutely re as low a gi as poss...in bread terms. OMG they are definitely still available for you at tesco online? It must just be my local store that has stopped doing them (a month or two the product page just says not currently available. I will try out a few stores a little further…

This. I used to have a close friend who had anorexia, i felt so helpless, I wanted to take it all away but as an onlooker you cant. I wish you every success and all the positivity and love and care in the world, I was going to say just carry on eating right and doing what you are doing to live a healthy life...forget the…

Hi, a replacement would be superb if possible. Well, i have type 2 diabetes and have turned my diet around, used to be all refined, processed, high fat high salt crap, bread was a large part of that. Bergen soya and linseed is ok too, and is available, but with a pitta you can cut in have and make a sandwich, whereas the…

The best way to see what you can and can't eat, is to test religiously pre and post meals (pre and post prandial they call it), usually 2 hrs after you have eaten. Diabetics, or even pre-diabetics are all different, there are some who can tolerate starchy carbs...to an extent, others can't have one small cube of potato…

<snorts>. Yes, I am immature lol

Try quinoa, not a massive percentage of protein circa 15%, but you won't find a better quality one in the plant world. http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/10352/2 check out the amino acid range it has... all of them Also as mentioned above, tvp/soy protein is great added to all sorts, I use soya…

hummus is amazing, as is falafel I have used these recipes in the past with great results: http://mideastfood.about.com/od/appetizerssnacks/r/hummusbitahini.htm http://mideastfood.about.com/od/maindishes/r/falafelrecipe.htm I haven't made a curry with them, but I have tried illumi chickpea and vegetable curry which is…

I have only been on mfp for a few weeks, and missed out most of it, i have had the ticker even less time, and I have smaller interim goals hence the 62lb target and 13lb loss lol I was 37 stone, I am now 28 stone 7lb and my next goal is 25 stone... then 20, then 18, then 16 and we will see what happens then, but tbh, 16 is…

I read a comment a day or so ago about someone's head not catching up with their weight loss and still thinking of themselves as an overweight person with all the hangups that brings... There is probably a lot in that and hopefully, once reaching a healthier and more comfortable weight that we are happy with, we will…

lol well, looks can be deceiving lol but yes, I constantly get comments, looks, laughs etc well, I did do until I just stopped going out in the day where there are people. I used to go shopping at asda's in the middle of the night until one time I looked behind me and noticed the security guard attracting his mates…

To buy the clothes I want to wear. Get some 12+ mile hill walks and wild camps done not be abused in the street/cinema/shops/uni/etc for being overweight Love myself again Love someone else again Generally go out and do all manner of things, from the mundane to the more exciting. Live a little

Clean eating makes you feel more vibrant, energetic, happier and alive than any other diet, ime. To me, I don't understand wanting to lose weight, but still throwing junk inside your system so your insides are rotting away from all the excess salts, sugars and sat fats etc etc It makes no sense. Calorie deficit per se, is…

Now THAT is the kind of woman you want OP!

LMAO you made me lol dude. I agree though, I want me a supermodel to "bang" lol

I will tell you what is sad, a woman coming to a forum posting that her husband is in no way interested in the journey she feels she needs to take for her own health and wellbeing and carrying on without seemingly any care or thought to what his wife is trying to achieve. The fact she posted here would suggest she is…

QFT it *was* my girl too though, not with the gym, I wasn't looking after myself then, but with everything, she was a controlling freak. Sounds like you bagged one yaself mate, it will only end one way, get out sooner rather than later to save yourself some pain and hassle. P.S. I just noticed your ticker: GOOD WORK SIR,…

Easiest thing in the world to sort out. You carry on preparing the foods you want to eat, for you. Leave him to it, he is a grown adult who can source and prepare the foods he wishes to eat. Job done, no excuses from anyone for anything then, look after your own needs first, otherwise you can't take care of anyone elses…
