A type of food that's usually really satisfying for me is an Iranian stew called Gormeh Sabzi. It's a delicious meat, herb and kidney bean stew made with dried limes, it's succulent and tangy at the same time, and delicious with rice. To feel completely satisfied by food, well, it feels like you've accomplished something,…

Snack ideas: almonds with some dried cranberries cashews and an apple; protein shake & a banana babybel and grapes cottage cheese and pineapple low-fat greek yoghurt and strawberries.

174 here and burnt 825 - I really need to work harder, looking at your numbers is inspirational, ladies! Unfortunately my sister is visiting this week from England and then I'm away on holiday in Sweden for a week so I won't be racking up big numbers for a couple of weeks now!

I do want you to: ***Give me compliments when I lose weight ***Ask me how it's going ***Take me to the gym, and come with me if you like! ***Don't leave unhealthy leftovers out / offer them to me - if I want it, I'll ask ***If I do eat something that's not necessarily "diet-y", don't act surprised or ask me if it's in my…

I can do it because... I've done it before and can do it again! I want to do it - and I want it badly enough to work for it. I've got what it takes to do it - and to do anything I commit myself to! With a little determination, it's easy - it's simple math - calories in and calories out! I know what I'm doing with regards…

3 HIGH-RISK EVENTS / TIMES: 1. Family gatherings (including meals out). I'll protect my program by maybe having a light green salad beforehand so I'm not really hungry by the time I get there, which should help me choose something healthy rather than something that just looks super filling and delicious. I'm not a fan of…

I really wanted an ice cream lolly (one with the circular sprinkles and chocolate underneath - not sure what the name is, but they were called disco lolly in the shop). I didn't have it though - going to a Marvel movie marathon at a friend's this weekend, and it's the boyfriend's birthday on Sunday, and my sister is…

I will follow the narrow road most of the time, apart from birthdays / celebratory events / holidays, where I will journey along the wider road. NARROW ROAD: Between 1200 and 1350 calories NET Avoid RAPping (refined sugars, alcohol or processed foods) where possible. I can't give up my caffeine. Exercise at least 3 times a…

Exactly - sometimes things come up! And as long as people are posting in the challenge threads you still get credit for participating in the day's challenge :) Your commitment is inspiring Anna, you'll make it up another day :)

Just got back from the gym - from my first cardio session in FOREVER. The first 15 minutes were really hard, but afterwards I felt like I was getting into the swing of things. Feel really great now (and tired). I'm doing a variant of the c25k but with an elliptical as I have bad knees so am prohibited from running.…

Stickying this! I actually meant to put one up but totally forgot - thanks Anna!! I'm Fa, I'm 27 and I'm British. I moved to Holland last year to live with my boyfriend. I'm only 5'1, so my goal is around 130lbs. I've struggled with my weight since being a teenager. I was extremely active (with dance and swimming…

Today, I don't want to go to the gym. I have no food in the house, and my first meal of the day will be when my boyfriend gets home after work, so then I'll have to eat, wait half an hour to digest, and then go - and I hate going to the gym in the evenings here in Holland (naturally, it's busier after people finish work,…

I will eat regularly (and prepare healthy meals), no matter what. I will log my food and water intake on MyFitnessPal honestly and daily, no matter what. I will aim to drink at least 6 glasses of water daily, no matter what. I will go to the gym 3 times a week, no matter what. (Disclaimer: I'm going on holiday for a week…

1. I used to not plan my food properly, and miss meals / not eat regularly. As a result, I'd eat unhealthy food on the fly, simply because it was convenient and I was hungry. Now, I plan my meals better, and eat regularly, even if I don't really feel hungry yet, in order to avoid snacking on something "fast" later. 2. This…

Of course! everybody is welcome! I didn't post about it in forums because I didn't get a great response last time I tried to start a challenge :D

I love Rose tea, jasmine tea, and mint tea! The rose and jasmine really smell of the flavours, it's the scent more than the taste with those two teas, mint just tastes like... mint. It's delicious and great for digestion / nerves.

My boyfriend is in Inferno - he's farming Act I to be able to do Act II - that seems to be the only way to do it (he's barb). Apparently +all resistance is the way to go. I rerolled monk so I'm behind (Got my WD to mid-Hell before rerolling) but we have a nice passive that should make Inferno a little more possible.

Hoping to finish Inferno by the end of the long weekend. Not sure whether to go on my WD (keep getting smushed on Act II Hell) or my monk though (zerging through Nightmare, so nowhere near 60). Hm.

This is my pug Noodle :D He's 6 months old:

LoL but that will mostly be on hold for the next week or so for Diablo! Which is a shame because Scumbag riot made this week's free champ rotation possibly the best ever.

Started playing at midnight (I'm in the EU). Boyfriend has Thurs and Fri off work so we're gonna steamroll it!

My dog did NOT like Jillian:

Whilst you look good, that dress is very short and looks a bit trashy by itself. It would probably look lovely with some leggings or 120 denier tights though, so if you like it, keep it and pair it with something like that.

I didn't know you burnt muscle if you went over a certain heart rate... I lost 35lbs last year over 5 months and barely any fat according to my scales (yes, I know body fat percentage measurements from scales are usually very inaccurate, but at least it would have shown a loss!), I was doing strength, but a lot of cardio,…

Jazz shoes have no impact protection, get some decent cross trainers :)

I buy the low fat canned variety, and use it in curries such as this one: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4728/red-thai-salmon-curry

On the positive side though, you are a fair bit lighter with 15lbs or so less to lose than me! I guess my main issue is that I'm not *that* far into my weight loss this time around, and feel a bit demotivated in general because I was only 18lbs from goal last year because I gained it all back and then some :( I want to get…

As a former snooper who has seen their error of their ways, all I can say to any prospective snoopers is don't do it. If you do it and find nothing, provided you're a half decent person, you'll probably feel terribly guilty and confess. If you do it and find something, you'll feel terrible, and either confess because you…
