Life is good! :smile:

Oops just read the calorie count on the pancakes, I need one without eggs! I'll have to give it a try leaving the eggs out..

Thank you Hollybot, just what I wanted.

I've been told, and really believe, that it does matter what time you eat the food - yes, calories are calories but if one is eating say, 300 calories at 5pm then it could be exercised off but if one eats 300 calories at 8pm at night and goes to bed, watches TV, or just sits around the calories will just aid towards weight…

You can add me if you'd like!

My husband would be soooo happy, I'd do more during the day!! :laugh:

Spain in a village in the mountains for the last 6 years.

If I eat my exercise calories I don't lose anything, if I stay within the 1200 limit I don't really lose anything either, I'm at a standstill! :sad:

Hi Change_happen, if you're burning lots of calories, could it be that you're gaining a bit of muscle and that's where the extra weight is going? Just a thought :smile:

That's interesting Jill, will ask my doc if I can have tests.:smile:

Hi, I'm 63 and am just finishing the menopause, I only need to lose around 9 pounds but it has been very difficult. If I eat lots of fruit and vegetables and 2 - 3 ounces of say, chicken, then I find I can lose a little but as soon as I start to eat carbs I put it back on.

Yes please

I suppose we're all different - I get to the stage where I just don't want to eat more than I do - I was anorexic when I was a teenager and I couldn't keep anything down, now I eat just enough food to cover my calorie intake, I still need to lose a few pounds but I don't want to get obsessed with what to eat and what not…

Twentyten - I thought that as I used to eat very little but my boss told me that you don't see fat people in third world countries!

I can't do it! If I exercise and earn 400 calories I can't physically eat them..... me thinks there's something wrong but not sure what - I'll just have to do 100 calories and eat an apple? Confused, I am! :ohwell:

Hi, lovely to get your reply - I do like Spain but I do miss my friends in the UK. I've always worked full time mostly in London and I am so bored in Spain. I find the language quite difficult to get although I do get by with spanglish!! I know what you mean - a little job for sanity is all I need too. My husband was a…

Hi Ruby, well done, 5lbs - did you lose it in a week? I think it's a great site too. I like it because when I've filled in my days food I can see at a glance what I've missed out!! Today I missed out vegetables - so it will be a veggy day tomorrow. Do you go out to work? I found that when I worked I kept the weight down…
