  • Hi. I also post in my feed, and use the blog, but I think the feed is better. Not much to say about myself and too many places to say it! I'm moving from Canada to the UK at the end of June. Now we are into April I'm beginning to feel there is a lot to do. As it gets nearer the time and I get more stressed and busy, I…

  • I used to use the pool at Grant Macewan Uni in Edmonton, but I gave up because it was so often divided up into lanes, meaning only half a dozen people could use the pool.

  • I have a pressure cooker that I use to cook beans and chickpeas. I also use it to cook Christmas Pudding (British). Apart from that I don't use it for recipes.

  • I have the same problem, and it is always when I am trying to lose weight, almost never otherwise. My solutions: Avoid bananas. Unripe bananas cause constipation. Ripe bananas are supposed to be OK, but that is not my experience. Prunes. I have three or four of the soft eating ones every day. Move a lot. Exercise is key to…

  • Hi. I'm 61, just starting to use MFP with a FitBit on order. I'm an ex-skinny who has had a weight problem for the last few years due to a combination of menopause, hypothyroidism, giving up smoking and leading a more sedentary lifestyle since I moved from the UK to Canada 8 years ago. I've been clinically overweight on…
