Then you've never seen Tom Baker eat jelly babies with menaces! :wink:

Not really, just really, really sick of the 'news' that the Daily Mail reports. I'm assuming you're not based in the UK (apologies, if you are), so you probably don't know the reputation paper has. They'll print anything as long as it brings in the sales / website hits. The problem is, there's a large contingent of…

Nice! 1. Greet the cat, who thinks he's a dog. He comes running when I come in the door every evening! 2. Take off my hiking boots and have a good stretch. 3. Sit down and chat with my SO 4. Go in to the kitchen and start dinner / wash up and then start dinner. Nightly exercise, wine and/or beer comes later. :wink:

If only I could marry this thread! Commenting so I remember to come back here later, once I've got some inspiration! In the meantime, keep 'em coming!

Hahah. I went to check and looked down the list thinking 'that ain't right - I drink more booze than I eat bacon.' Then I realised I was looking at lunch frequent foods. :laugh: Taylors of Harrogate - Yorkshire Gold Jacksons Dairies - Whole Milk Kenco - Rich Coffee/30ml Semi Skimmed Milk Hellman's - Mayonnaise Eggs - 2…

It's an article in the Daily Hate Mail. Surprisingly not one of their "We hate all women" articles. (You can tell it's read mostly by members of the Conservative Partys' wives.) In other words, the article is sensationalist rubbish. Whether or not the book is as well? No idea.

Awesome! And I cried a bit at the end too.

Yeah. Still trying to get over the low-fat craze of the eighties and nineties (never eat anything over 5pc fat, Rosemary? Really?) But I try! I generally cook with butter, olive oil or ghee. And don't panic too much about fatty meats and oily fish. Full fat yoghurt is a real git to find, especially if you're looking for…

If you're like me and haven't exercised for years, you may want to start off with some simple body-resistance exercises, rather than jumping straight into lifting. Sit-ups, ab crunches, squats and press-ups will get those muscles working so you find getting into lifting easier and you'll be less prone to injury.

If the pepper is raw, it's most likely to be that. But you won't know until you try them all separately. However, if it's a recent "I've been eating lots of salad, now I'm sick" development (like mine), it's going to be difficult. You might find that as you're sensitive at the moment, any raw vegetable will set you off. If…

I'm intolerant to watermelons - always have been. Melons are now a no-no as well - they make me projectile vomit. Yummy... Also, after a couple of months of eating big salads with raw veggies every day a few years ago, too much in the salad line gives me intense stomach pain (and yet more vomiting). I can't have raw…

Had exactly that today, in fact. I told a work colleague I had another 5 stone to lose (I didn't add - at least!), and she gasped and said I'd 'be all skin and bones'. It would, in fact, barely put me at a normal BMI. I just replied that I 'carry it well'. Could do with some better ammunition, I guess!

My Dad is vegetarian and whenever I stay with my parents, we eat a lot of quorn. I do get digestive issues if I eat a weekend's worth of quorn-based meals. I've always assumed I'm not used to eating it in that kind of quantity. Sorry, can't offer any advice, though.

In terms of myself, I've lost two stone (28lb) eating around 1600 kcal a day, plus exercise calories (so usually eating around 2000). For exercise, I've been walking mostly - a mile in the morning and three at lunchtime. I'm just starting to incorporate body-strength exercises (squats, press-ups, sit-ups etc.) now that…

OP: You look great! And what a brilliant idea. I'm usually trying on the smaller clothes in my closet, seeing what I can now move in to the "wearable" pile. I'll have to start wearing some of my bigger clothes if I feel fat one day. (Not that I'm not fat - 2 stone down with 5 to go. But I should concentrate more on the 2…

Hah, was about to send you a friends request then I noticed the user name! Obligatory bad joke: Q. What's big, grey and hurts if it falls on you? A. A Car Park.

Well we could report the original post for being nice to the website team! It's a very good app and website. I was on another site before MFP and it just didn't gel. The database was horrendous to navigate and the forums were completely linear - again very difficult to navigate. This site is definitely brilliant.
-
Wow, what a list of good food! Sure beats soggy supermarket sandwiches! I had pumpkin soup and a scotch egg. Both homemade of course!

You might be out of place, but I am too, then! Highway to Hell got me almost to 4mph walking today! Along with Iron Maiden, Blondie, Chumbawumba, The Police(!), Mika and Queen.

False. I seem to be overburdened with work colleagues today! TNP has baked a cake in the last week.
-
Am actually commenting so I can pick this up later... I eat a lot of steamed broccoli. Sometimes dipped in mayonnaise, sometimes plain. I also love roasted veg: In a big bowl add chopped veg of all sorts - I usually use some or all of mushrooms (whole), courgette (zucchini), squash, carrot, sweet peppers, swede and…

Hang in there. Make sure you're logging accurately and if the scale doesn't look like it's moving, keep an eye on other measurements. Two weeks isn't long enough to call it a plateau, and if you're close to your goal weight loss can be hidden in the natural fluctuations. But mostly, hang in there. It can be very…

You don't need to eat breakfast, if you don't want to. But you may find that you start wanting it as you up exercise levels. The big thing is - listen to your body and do what works best for you. If you start mindlessly snacking mid-morning, you might want to think about having something healthy earlier. If you find you…

Hi! I started three months ago at 238 and have lost 25lb so far. I've got a long way to go though (another 73lb), so have sent a friends request.

Amazing transformation - and I love the corset!
-
That's really useful! Thanks so much!

I'm waiting. There's lots of reasons, none of which those of you who are scoffing have actually mentioned. (Though several of those who are also waiting have mentioned...) No money to join a gym. No money or space to get equipment at home. I have no strength. Seriously - I can't even open a jar of mayonnaise without my…

But platypus cheese is lovely! :frown: I'm also sure there are plenty of edible mosses out there. What you really shouldn't be eating is ear wax. Or vulcanised rubber.

You can personalise your diary view under Account Settings. I track fibre rather than sugar.

22lbs down and I'm still fitting in most of my current wardrobe. :ohwell: I do plan on ditching most of the clothes as I (finally) outshrink them, although I'm hoping there's one or two good pieces I'll be able to alter. And I want to keep my biggest pair of pants, just for the humourous "goal" photo!
