It certainly sounded like an allergy... Fantastic that your feeling better :) It sucks to feel that breathless and useless when an episode happens. Dont know if I could give up the pasta though ... :) I too am an asthmatic (following a wonderful episode of pneumonia 3 years back) Im on QVAR 50 (2 puffs AM, then 2PM) as…

I keep losing and regaining the same 6lbs Its really hacking me off I took a total of 4 weeks over Xmas/New Year off and regained all but 2lbs I had lost but for the most part my last year has been relosing the same 6lbs over and over again Its a lil demoralising but i guess i just gotta keep at it

Hi Im stuck with 9lbs left to go and i cant seem to shift them would love some help busting past CW 156 Aiming 147

23 1/2 5ft 9 Currently 156 Aiming for 147 Good luck :D

Doing one of those in like 2 weeks Im thinkin of a rich vegetable carb based meal, nothing too heavy (gonna be hard to skip my pasta) Ive got trail mix and a flapjack to eat during the walk to keep energy levels up As for the day after .... not got that far Lol I'll be sure to post back after Ive done it (if i survive) to…

I love cous cous in pitta Of salad and a spread (marmites my guilty pleasure)

I had a guy walk up to me, take an ice cube out my drink, he then smashed his hand down on the bar and I believe the line he was trying to use was "now ive broken the ice" In actual fact the line he managed was a scream of pain as "Mr Cool" broke his hand on the bar! :) I couldnt help but laugh

If you search this topic there are like a million people who asked this same question My personal veiw on it is eat a percentage of them back, MFP over eastimates the amount you've burned. Starvation mode kicks in if your food in (before exercise) is under 1200 As long as your food in figure is above 1200 then it stops…

Monday mornings ... somewhere after getting up and before breakfast Measuring of the jiggly bits is a 1st of the month task! I do sneaky weigh ins mid week and Sat morning but I dont log them and they're just coz my scales are there!

I notcied that too I take from the label. Click on the volvic T.o.L in FOOD search and when it asks if the figure is correct state NO and amend it

And I'm alive. Turns out laxatives had overdehydrated me hence water works issue but bm happened3 x in a day. Dr thinks it was combo of 24 hours of sugar water and low fibre that got me going. They think I might have ibs (stress related) which triggered the cease fire. Just gotta be mindfulnow Cheers for all your awesome…

Thanks for your suggestions guys Ive tried a few of those to no success .... ive even done what my mum suggested and rubbed vasaline on my pooper Lol I have to be referred to hosp anyhoo now coz my water works have turned brown!

1200 - 1390 NET per day .... before exercise its like 1600 .... I had a long hot bath last night and drank a pint of warm sugary water and that has made me v gassy this am ... which is an improvement. The pain has lessened slightly now ive been able to break wind and Im just hoping I get some movement in the next day or…

I hope people are still on here active I havent been able to poop now for almost 8 days! My lower back is agony, my tummy is cramping, i eat 28 - 35 grams of fibre per day as im a vegeraian and I drink 8 - 10 glasses of water per day I had threadworms about 2 weeks ago, about a month after antibiotics for a kidney…

Love it On toast, in sandwhiches, on Ryvitta, with Cheese, Cucumber, Banana, Apple and course on jacket spuds :)

I use sugar free squash ..... I also hate the taste of water. But I started here almost 2 months ago and ive been making my squash weaker and weaker every week til its practically water, that way Im hioping i wont hate the taste so much :)

I listen to anything with a pounding beat , The Prodigy, MSI, Combichrist and Covenant are some of my faves! Although Chariots of Fire is always funny when im on a run :)

Mine depends on the time of the year Spring - Cereal like Weetabix or Fruit n Fibre with a handful of sultanas Summer - Cereal or yogurt with Raspberries nd Blackberries Fall - Toast with jam Winter - Oatmeal or porridge with mixed fruit or brown sugar

Vegetarian for 12 years (this November) On the rare times I ate meat before giving it up i only ate chicken and occassionally bacon or beef, but i disliked the taste and texture Fave Veggie Snacks... Hmmm it varies depending on the time of year Sometimes its fruit Sometimes its cous cous in tortilla wrap with mushrooms or…

My sympathies I had the same thing about 2 weeks into being on here .... and it was frustrating, Its entirely possible that its linked to thechange in diet Have you changed your tracker to show how much fibre your taking in?? I just ended up drinkin 2l of water a day on top of the other drinks, I also found that a cup of…

WD :) GL for the other 30 ....

West Country :)

I use a toning belt as well as my reg work out I use it coz I struggle with crunches and the rowing machine. I use slendertone on recommendations from my partner. He keeps his weight down with reg work outs and a good diet but like me struggled with the toning side of post weight loss jelly belly Its a good investment if…

I get yelled at from time to time too 1200 Food is what it wants Its best to get your net to 1200 tho I did what you did and ate like 1200 for food but had a net at 200 ish when i exercised - you lose weight but then your metabolism catches up and you stop losing it

Has it affected your number twos?? If your not going as often then its probably too much fibre - in which case cut down or drink more water or use a medication to flush it through I'd recommend seeing a Dr tho - I had a similar set of symptoms which turned out to be IBS so it might be worth getting checked out.

Its a really good point. How would you work it out. Ive never really dropped below 156 and my bmi puts me at 23.7 but I still feel more fat than fab.

Ditto I know ive only got to lose like 10 - 13lbs to be at my ideal (or what the Dr says I ought to be) Its slow going tho .... the first 6 lbs dropped and ive been plateued for almost 2 weeks despite my cal intake being under 1200 net per day! Irksome *positive face* tho ..... Just need to get toned and trim :)
