I've never tried to drop weight when I am medicated. I go through bouts of medicated and not all the time, I get these feelings that I need to know how I work (mentally) without the medication and then only go back if I am really not coping. Not that I suggest you do the same, of course. But what I do know is that a fair…

I can eat anything, I have never come across something that I dislike to the point of it being inedible. I'm a chef, it's part of my job, that's probably why I got so fat to begin with. But in saying that I tend to dislike mass produced processed foods. Jarred or packet sauces, pop tarts and most breakfast cereals, any…

One of my favourites at the moment is grated beetroot, grated carrot and grated green apple. Dressed with a little olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Another one I love is shredded iceberg, chopped coriander, fresh corn kernels, avocado, tomato, cucumber and spring onions dressed with olive oil, lime juice and honey.

When you first lay down in bed after a hectic day. The absolute best.

I have numerous tattoos, piercings, stretches etc. Moving in to heavier mods (ear pointing, silicone implant) in the next six months. I'm actually having a consult next week for my foot tattoos. Feel free to add me.

Some kind of secret agent spy that works closely with Spider-Man.

Hey, I started off at 129.1kg and I am looking to get down to 95kg then re *kitten* the situation.

Ahh, yes, perfect. Let's split people in two distinctive groups, both who hate the other. There is no way this can go wrong.

A fun loving traveler, who would defiantly eat scorpions with me in Vietnam.

Cats Best Oko Plus. The absolute best litter I have ever used. It's a clumping litter made from wood, so no danger of lung and digestive damage that is so often associated with clay clumping litters. It has the best odor control I have ever smelt, the smell of the litter itself is pretty neutral for us and cats, which is…

Defiantly my intense, passionate personality. Hard for some to handle but I consider it an idiot buffer. Or maybe my boobs, I do like my boobs.

To be frank, I am totally overwhelmed. Never in my life did I realise that smileys would have such.. power. I need to use this knowledge for good, I think. And thank you everyone! And I don't believe that you need formal training to be a fantastic cook. I'm pretty certain that I sometimes make terrible meals despite (in…

No takers? This makes me sad :frown: :brokenheart: :sad: Maybe smileys will help? :flowerforyou: Or maybe I am not selling myself well enough? Oh, no wait, I know! I'm coming across too strongly! Maybe it's the stench of desperation...

There is something to be said about a man with a nice pair of... sunglasses. And pecs, kudos on the pecs.

Hahahaha, my kind of guy!

It's the fat that mostly alters the aeration when beating. That's why low fat creams don't whip as well as full fat ones.

Do not stop eating fruit. No, seriously, don't even think about it. I always go over my sugar macros because I have two serves of fruit a day with two cups of tea that have two teaspoons of sugar in them. (Wow two, two two!) Fruit is good for you in so SO many ways.

I had two opposite ends of the scale. My grandma who just loved to feed me as much, and anything, that I wanted and then my mother, who was controlling and would tell me that if I was fat boys would never like me. I think food can be used as punishment as well, my mother sent me to weight watchers when I was 9 for the…

When I have friends over for a meal I typically do a main and a dessert, I've founds sending my friends home with the dessert left overs not only makes them feel super special but stops me from gorging on delicious sweets when I drink my tea. There are few things I enjoy more than feeding people, to be honest with you. And…

I find that for me fad diets do not work. Ever. I mean, yeah, I lose weight for the month or two I have enough determination and will power to stick to the plan, but then I get complacent, remember how much I love food and go right back to the way I was before. The best thing I have ever done is not really change what I…

In my bathroom after I changed my hair colour last week!

Coconut sugar is my newest, and most loved, sweetener at the moment!

Hello good looking! Great job, you should be really proud of yourself! *hugs*

On days where I am working I'll usually have a smoothy with yogurt, oats, skim milk, coconut sugar and fruit. Porridge with fruit is another favorite of mine, 2 fried or poached eggs on buttered toast also make a regular appearance. Days when I can't be bothered it'll be toast with peanut butter or nutella with a piece of…

Hey! I am on 7280 kilojoules per day (1740 Calories) which is a comfortable limit for me, I work long hours in a highly active job which creates a nice deficit. And besides, I love food so much that if I was to lower my Calorie intake too much I'd just blow out and eat whatever I wanted after a week or two, I just hate…

I love shellfish, prawns, mussels, oysters, crab, moreton bay bugs, mantis shrimp and crayfish. Very high in protein, easy to cook, fast and versatile! I'm also pretty keen on these things called Chia Pods, we have them here in Australia. The one I like is three ingredients, chia seeds, coconut milk and banana.

Digging the beard!

I do a cheat meal but log it anyway. I usually have a very small breakfast and lunch if I know I am going to be having a calorie rich dinner. I also make sure to move around more that day just to burn those extra few calories. I've surprised myself a few times though, when my cheat meal ends up fitting in to my allowance…

Sometimes men aren't as hell bent on our body image as we think they are. He loves you, so he probably doesn't see you any differently to before you lost weight, not that he doesn't notice or care, more that it doesn't have a direct effect on his sex drive. There are a lot of health and mental issues that can have an…
