I would listen to the nutritionist and give it all you got for a month. If it doesn't work, you get to tell them they are rubbish. Its very satisfying

Thank you for posting that. I'm going to give it a go

I saw one once. At the end of our discussion. She said "you know more about this that I do" I said "that's because I've been doing it for longer" :happy:

Yep I am FAT. There's no getting round it, I am Fat. Fact! Its not a dirty word. Stop trying to be nice and sensitive, say what you mean. I go into shops and I proudly ask where the fat section is. Not the plus size section. Not the outsize section. The fat section. I am fat. Sorry if it offends the slim people but I am so…

It sounds exactly like me and my hubby. We've been married for 10 years now and he's never been any different. I always know where he is - on the sofa lol. He smokes and thinks he's eating healthy if he has pizza because it has vegetables in it. I love to go out and try new things. He loves to stay in and watch tv. How do…

I had the basic target fitness HRM and used the calculator on the triathlon training site. Now that I have the next model up that does count the cals for you, I find that the calculator on the site gave a much higher reading but that was probaby because I didn't put in my Vo2 max.

Welcome to MFP. This is exactly what you need. well done for taking the first step to health. The good news is that this works. It really does. Four years ago I was in such a bad state health wise. I was put on BP tablets and warned that I would be on them for life. well, since then, I have turned my life around and now I…

I like Exerbeat

Take up a craft hobby that keeps your hands busy. Cross stitching or card making is best because your hands have to be clean all the time

I've done it. the best thing is being able to breath when you exercise, which means you can do more, which means more weight loss. win/win

I love my Kindle so much. It comes everywhere with me. Its especially handy when I go to Ireland to visit my grandparents. There is a lot of time to read. Before, I would pack 4 little books into my luggage, now I have about 100 in the palm of my hand. I do wish I'd got a Kobo though. Its worth remembering that kindle is…

That does make a lot of sense. I might try not eating my exercise cals just until the Christmas poundage has gone.

I know exactly what you mean. Just think - this is how we used to feel all the time. I never realised how bad I felt before because it was normal but a couple of weeks of going back to the old ways after months of feeling great soon brings it back to you

Hiya, I'm in the UK. Welcome to MFP. Feel free to add me :drinker:

The cat might be fine with the curtains. My two never climbed the curtains so you might be ok. I have to say that up till now I've owned cats and have been fine with the torn and tattered carpets and furniture. The phrase "and that's why we can't have nice things" is often shouted in our house :laugh: Now I'm older, I…

You will not be happy settling. Eventually it will cause problems. You are still young enough to keep your options open. I married a man who has no ambitions. Who is happy loafing around on the sofa. He's self employed but not pro active. He expects the world to come looking for him. Consequently we are always poor and we…

Love this

Can you imagine what it would be like if you had an itch that you couldn't scratch? You know how irritating that is right? Well you have opposable thumbs so can pick something up and use that instead. A cat can't. It won't be able to groom itself at all. Cats are very clean and particular animals and this will stress it no…

I've gained 5lbs in total. Why? because I have an over active social life. The week before Xmas I had 2 meals out. I said it couldn't be done and I was right. I gained 2lbs. This week, xmas week, have gained 3. Why? because I went face first into the Christmas fare and didn't come up for air until Tuesday. I'm confident…

I am totally with you there. Its the only time of the year I'm allowed to choose the pork joint because I get the one with the most crackling and fat I can find. Let hubby have his dry old, low cal turkey. I say bring on the pig fat!!!! :drinker:

Love this. Damn right. I'm with you on this. I'm giving myself 3 days of total (and I mean total) indulgence. There's cheese, there's biscuits. There are 4 kinds of pudding with brandy and rum sauce. There are sausage rolls, mince pies, mini pasties and loads of other things wrapped in pastry. That's before we get started…

Bloody hell that is amazing!!!! You look terrific and so healthy. Well done xx

That is the most important thing. It doesn't matter if the gift costs £1 or £1000, if they have thought of you and put effort into it, its priceless. My husband is poor and lazy so any gift I get has been chosen by me and paid for by me (he does eventually give me the money back). This year, if I get what I really want I…

I'm in Hertfordshire. Hello :drinker:

I was only saying this to my husband today. I measure myself once a month and the results are all over the place. It bears no relevance to my weight loss whatsoever. I've lost weight the past 2 weeks but my waist and hips have gone up (according to my measuring) by about 3 cms! I started doing the measuring when the…

Thanks guys. I'm really excited about getting it :smile:

Yep me too. I couldn't give a monkeys what I look like at the gym or who is looking at me

A stranger asked me once if I was pregnant. I was sat in the launderette in the only clothes I had left that didn't need washing. She looked so pleased for me that I played along. I told her that I was and we had a lovely conversation about whether it would be a boy or a girl. My husband had to carry the heavy bags as well…
