Egg white omelette with spinach and pancheta. A healthy version of my sunday fry-up. Popcorn, homemade with no salt and just a smidge of oil. It make a great alternative for all the cookies i used to eat as a snack.

every 4-6 weeks, I try not to get onsessive. I go by how my clothes fit and you get a good feeling after 4 weeks to see that you are still losing.

Ditch the scale and stick with a tape measurer. I only get weight every 4-6weeks but my measurements are always encouraging. If you eating well and excercising, then it's all good.

When i saw the belly apron one day as i was getting dressed. When i saw the pictures taken on holiday last year in Spain, i was suprised green peace didn't try to throw me back in the sea (beached whale look)

PATIENCE, you didn't put the weight on overnight so it will take patience to get off. It looks like you are working really hard. Just make sure you don't do anything you can keep up in the future, coz when you stop the weight WILL come back. Eat healthy and excersise, you'll get there. Support is here if you need it.

My trainer explained it as, if your car needs fuel, you don't wait till the tank is completetly empty before you put fuel in. When you see the dial inching towards that E even though the car can still move you put petrol in. The same goes with your body, you don't wait till you are running on empty before you refuel and if…

i poped into my local British heart foundation charity shop and found an old Rosemary Conley low fat cookbook. At the beging she gives you the explaination on things like measurement and breaks everything down, like liquid measurements, weight conversions imperial and useful meausres like egg measurements, wine quantites…

If you are in the UK go to a Pounstretcher store, you can get a set of 5 for a quid. Your profile does not say were you are located but that's were i got mine.

I do cardio to burn but to tone, i do a variety of excercises including, Reverse crunches for the bottom bit, Planks for the core, side blanks for the side, crunches with a twist, normal crunches and Pilates. since november i've lost…

welcome, i'm sure you'll do great. good luck to the both of you.

Dito, i was like that a couple of weeks ago. I now drink a lax tea or take fibre drink once a week just to get things going but it's getting better. I think it's just the body adjusting to a new diet. the fibre drink is better and tastes good. And drink lots and lots of water.

wellcome! friend request sent.

i was on xenical for a while which the stronger version. I'll give it to you straight, if you eat very fatty food and you decide to take it then it will probably work for you. Because it works by stopping absorption of 33% of fat consumed then things like McD's or KFC are a no-go as your bowels will be full of fat from…

Astigmatism is a condition were you eyeball is not round but slightly oval. Because of this the lens in your eye does not focus on objects properly. There is no cure for astigmatism, surgey can be used to eleviate this condition by shaving the layer of your lens to help it focus better. It works for a while but eventualy…

That's true, we are here to learn what food we should eat and what activities we should do to get the body we want and be in good health. I don't follow some strict regime, i simply think about what i put in my mouth and how much. I still eat the things i like just not all the time and i fit in some fun activities…

This is how i understand it. Your body needs a certain amount of energy just to function, so when you registered , there was a question about what king of lifestyle you lead. This determines how much calories you have been calculated as the energy your body needs to function. so when you excercise on top of what you…
