ha ha - squeeze HARDER !!!!!!!!!! :devil: :laugh:

Where I live its v difficult to get 'low fat' and low sugar versions of most things so I steer clear of most sugars (except those in fruit ) and I eat full fat versions of most things but - cottage cheese, for example, I limit myself the amount I can eat I am losing weight really well, It sure works for me ! The trouble…

Many people eating less than 1,200 will be getting insufficient nutrients and worse will slow their metabolism down BUT it is a generalisation like many things in life - its not that simple age, exercise, what you are actually eating, current weight etc etc all play a factor too I'm losing weight on over 1800 calories a…

Great pic I can't see/work out how to post pics though ............ :frown:

FR sent Looking to lose 100 + pounds too in total ...... ultimate goal not yet set .... will see how I get on but want to be fit and healthy instead of a 'blob' :wink: In for the long haul and here to stay til its achieved :flowerforyou:

Another crazy diet - not just nutritionally but actually considering the calories in bananas if you ate as many 'as you like' I doubt you'd even lose weight Another point - many many years ago where I lived there was a heatwave and a glut of bananas on the market so all the fruit and veg shops were selling them off really…

Ten years ago I lost over 50kg - the only exercise I did was walking Sadly I've put it all back on over the interim years, but I am back taking my weight seriously and again the best I can do is walk, walk, walk. It's one of the best exercises there is. If you are doing the same, please feel free to friend me :)

Thanks guys - 2 liters it is then I live in an egyptian village so buying something that shows ounces as well as mls is a difficult task - drives me nuts sometimes LOL ! :frown:

TY for the info - not sure I understand everything but do quite a lot of it and will do my best to return and read a few more times for it to sink in I'm on a diet from my doctor and actually I think she is getting me to eat too little and I am in danger of my body going into panic 'I'm being starved' mode Will try YouTube…

Weight loss since last week just 1lb Accomplishment - I managed to walk for at least one hour every day last week Goal for next week - To stay positive knowing that some weeks weight loss is slow Aim to lose at least a further 10 lbs by Christmas ............

Yes water can be terrible can't it - I try to drink it as cold as possible which helps a lot BUT am very interested to try infused water I've never done it before (in fact despite my advanced years this is even the first time I've heard of it) How does one go about doing it ????

bump - good for a laugh

Hi there .... I've been here on mfp a little over a week; have been losing weight for the past 3, almost 4 weeks (hence my ticker - I didn't lose that much in 1 week ! ) I'm English but now live in Egypt (a village in the Northern Delta region) and could really do with making more 'weight loss' friends ..... Have ALOT of…

Thanks to those who posted after my last comment too - well the useful / sensible replies anyway LOL I didn't explain but some days / nights I get dreadful hunger pangs when I have eaten my days allowance (or even more) and don't want to resolve it by eating, as its so easy to give in to 'tempting foods' rather than…

Thanks so very much for all your replies and advice - its really wonderful to have the support and the advice is really so very, very helpful. You guys rock ! :drinker:

Have seen this post doing the rounds on facebook from time to time Not sure of the accuracy or not, hard isn't it to be sure; BUT my doctor has told me to not drink sodas of ANY SORT (ie with sugar or with sweeteners) and that studies have shown that soda drinkers who drink just diet had more difficulty in losing weight,…

Love this :heart:

Just joined myfitness pal .... happy to be hear. Due to excessive weight and muscle pain, walking is the most exercise I can do at the moment Have in fact been doing it for almost 3 week now - a minimum of 60 mins per day, and am feeling really much better for it . Best of luck to everyone :smile:

What does a foam roller do ? Sorry for being thick.
