Wonder if she would say the same thing if you were a Catholic tracking your fertile periods for their often unsuccessful method of family planning. Recently I realised that many of my health problems were to do with inflammation.so I listed them on 1 page to show my doc. I simply wanted to know what was the best way to…

Hope this works for me too. cw 238lbs

Yes, I did for 2 weeks over the holiday period, my birthday was in there somewhere too. Pigged out on everything I had been craving or not craving but looked good. Now I am sick of chocolate, croissants, bread, butter, mangoes, cake, ham and sweets. Put on about 1 Kg. Started MFP again on January 1. One thing I have learnt…

I never thought of roasting a cauliflower. What other veges do you roast? I'm guessing roasted potatoes, pumpkin and sweet potatoes are out.

You must do what your doctor tells you until your stats are normal. Are you allowed any fruit at all? frozen raspberries are very low in sugar and carbs. One of my favourites that I also make for my diabetic brother (who is naughty and lost 2 toes as a result) is sugar free port wine jelly with a handful of frozen…

Frozen blueberries that cover the bottom of my bowl, topped by rolled oats cooked in water topped with mixed spice and light Greek yoghurt.

Hi Red You could try draining it some more. I use a cloth or a coffee filter paper in a strainer over a bowl. Pour in plain yoghurt, fold the cloth over, put a saucer on top and a heavy can on that. Put in the fridge and the next morning you should have a lovely thick cream without the sour yellow liquid that yoghurt…

Apparently fruit isn't the problem at all. Here's a great video from our best science program which has made me realise that I need to cut out all sugars except whole fruit. (I'm guessing that whizzed up whole fruit in smoothies are just as low GI as whole fruit.) When I first started on MFP, I had no added sugar but…

It's not fair. I have just started and there have been four special birthday parties at fab restaurants. So I decided to eat something deliciously new at each one. So far three out of the four I did that and still kept under my limit but the fourth was hot and cold seafood platters of the freshest most delicious prawns,…

Add me too. My diary is open. Although I have set my first target to lose 12 kilos. 26 pounds first. I just want to get below the 100 kilo mark first.

I agree, with FitFabFlirty9 in that good science means good cures. The weight loss and medical industry has attracted all kinds of profiteers and charlatans. On the topic of the unscientifically trained being able to judge cures from snake oil, they shouldn't have to. If writers, journalists and presenters held to the…

I've only just started. It took me 20 days to lose 6 1/2 lbs. The things that I have learnt are that fats and carbs like pasta are hideously high in calories. How could I have been eating so much of it before? lean meat, fish, fruit, veges are amazingly low. Yesterday I went back over my diary and saved all the meals I…

gowrirao81, I think those are great suggestions. I use some of them already and will use the others now. As well as spinach, I stir in Ceylon spinach (a vine) or silver beet or pele (edible hibiscus) leaves - any dark green leaves. I found this great list of leaves from the Pacific you can use. just be careful you have…

Hi Jon, congratulations on your success so far, I hope I can lose as much. I'm just starting with MFP. The easiest way to find out how to make curries is on Youtube. There are thousands or videos - make sure they have minimal oil, just enough to fry the spices - don't burn them. Vegetarian recipes are delicious and are…

I get this really bad. It's as if I'm looking for a food but I don't know what it is, and I keep eating to find it. Sometimes I'm not even aware that I'm eating. I've just started here so I'm no expert in losing weight, I'm an expert in being fat. I notice your meals are very low on protein. If I am aware the craving is…

Hi everyone, It's lovely the way you have all made us feel welcome. Looking forward to losing. Soph.

Hi I'm new too, and I need to lose 90 pounds at least to start. I so want to travel and do all the things I used to do. Sophorae
