Thanks everyone

I'm a mum of 3 grown up kids , one son with ADHD, OCD and anxiety. I'm a friendly, listening ear if you need a chat. My heart goes out to those of you in other countries who feel they would be better on medication but can't afford it, thats really sad. My son chose to come off his medication at age 18 he is now 23 , he…

We are mere replicating DNA a parasite upon the earth

Clarence, first of all let me say you have been through a lot, so give yourself a break, you tried and gave it your all, sometimes in life things go belly up, even when you do everything possible to be successful. Let me say at the outset you are a winner and you have a winners attitude, because you pick yourself back up…

What is magnesium for when dieting, thanks guys

I find it really difficult because my husband pays the food bill and he always buys fatty, frozen or cheap things, like sausages, burgers, chips etc. If I tried to steer him towards the fruit, vegetables, or salad, he would buy it for me occasionally, but complain about the expense. Because I was the only one eating it, it…

My best advice would be to keep it simple set your profile and your macros and how much weight you would ultimately like to lose over a rough time frame and the mfp will give you a daily calorie allowance With my daily calorie allowance which has been set to 1200 daily, I eat anywhere between 1200 and 1600 depending on how…

As two people have already said you are an incredible writer you really ought to pursue this as a career or a second money earner not just for the money of course but because you have a way of reaching people and touching them emotionally. You certainly expressed the hidden side of weight loss rarely discussed and…

Thank you for the very helpful replies everyone. I try to avoid saturated fats, will make it a point to educate myself on refined sugars, am delighted to learn that exercise will help and that losing weight will help, this has cheered me up enormously as I can lose weight and exercise, it is reassuring to know that it is…

I'm in the UK. Back in the 1970s I used to be a 24" waist which was a size 10. I think a size 10 is now 28".

I can recommend the Jamie Oliver cookery book called Ministry of Food, it taught me all the everyday dinners. Good housekeeping cookery book or Delia Smith cookery book for a learner cook. In the meantime breakfast and lunches are simple if you stick to ceresl or porridge, fruit such as apples and bananas, yogurt,…

I hate the movie Creep, set in an deserted underground tube station with some weird thing/creature slaying people including one grisly scene involving another pet hate of mine , an abandoned hospital operating theatre, knives , blood and a petrified female victim, .....who writes this stuff?

Im a specialist antiques dealer in Arts & Crafts jewellery, British & European Art Nouveau glass and 18th & 19th century German stoneware. Prior to raising my family I was a pharmacist assistant, then did an SRN Nursing degree, then a post grad Science student.

Im 54 in a few weeks, have 3 children , one of which was a C section and 100 lbs overweight , start weight at home was 226, start weight on MFP was 208 and current weight on MFP is 202 . After losing 24lbs my overhang is almost half gone, it has vanished from the sides to just a slight overhang in the front directly below…

Islander_2013 that was my first job when I finished school!!

tuna, cottage cheese, salads, protein shakes, fruit, rolled oats, wholemeal products, raw veg, good luck

human resources/personnel

hmmm that font looks very retro so Im guessing youre a 1980s baby and martino I guess 36

Congratulations Quasita on losing 50lbs, that's incredible! and for a larger lady you carry your weight well, I would never have guessed your weight as Im currently weighing 203 lbs and you don't look much different to me, keep up the good work because I see a fine pair of strong legs in that photo and I truly believe…

I would recommend buying a sports bra that has been personally measured/fitted. Ive lost some weight and my bras were too big so I decided to wear some old bras I had which were smaller, but a little too small in the cups, Id dropped from a 44E to approx. a 42 around the body, but the only bras I had at home were a 40D, I…

Im very happy to share MFp with skinny and healthy people who are monitoring their health, fitness and weight. If id doen the same thing when I was slim, fit and young then I wouldnt be the heffalump I am now, so all power to them for having self control, awareness and the desire to stay in shape before it spirals out of…

I was never very good at maths at school and when I had a look at weight watchers, the points system did not appeal to me, I had no idea how to work out how many points were in my home cooked meals, ready meals might have the points on them, but I want to eat home cooked and raw foods. Calorie counting is easier for me, I…

I was told to keep under 6g of salt a day in foodstuffs and to avoid adding salt to food. The info sheet I was given by the Doctor also said avoid caffeinated products so switch to decaffeinated tea and coffee, this was especially important to me as I drink tea around the clock. Caffeine is also present in some fizzy…

Yes a calorie is just a calorie, all calories are one unit of energy, but all calories are nutritionally different. I dont think you would live long enough to lose a significant amount of weight eating just chocolate before your liver developed problems. Just my opinion. Google fatty liver disease, its not just alcohol…

I have to wear looser trousers becuase of this dratted B shape. If I pull a pair of trousers up to my waist and manage to fasten the button, the zip will not close over the lower part of the B, there is too much flesh to get inside a regular pair of trousers so I have to wear roomy trousers with an elasticated waist or…

I live in a rural community and I dont like my part time job either , but I would never suggest to my OH that we move to another location so that I could find another job, having to sell our home, uproot our children, put my husband out of work and have to live in a large town/city just so that I could be more personally…

There are some really good positive thinking/weight loss/motivational videos free on youtube. I quite often listen to them through headphones whilst playing online games, I use self hypnosis every day. Come on MFP everyday, log your food, read a few posts, keep focused, you only need to focus on ONE day, not yesterday or…

I think she is a brave woman for her public strip off, its challenging peoples views of those who can show flesh and those that cant. Its the same with women being told hide your bingo wings in short sleeves or cover your varicose veins with trousers, ermm excuse me if its a hot day i will do what I like thank you very…

I cook chicken breasts in home made Chicken Tikka Masala sauce using Jamie Olivers recipe http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-recipes/chicken-tikka-masala

Hi there, Im also in the Uk and want to increase my protein, I have researched this exact subject within the last few days and have found some places which sell natural protein sources cheaply. The first food source is cottage cheese in sainsburys, its low calorie and its quite cheap for a large pot - there are 32g protein…
