Your husband could be correct, although it's very mild. You're not strictly an alcoholic (in my mind anyway) but the brain will get used to a certain substance after a while and find it a bit surprising when you slow down or suddenly stop. I was on codeine some years ago for a very bad sprain and when the injury finally…

Yea, no kidding, I am usually good around dinner time in preparing and cooking etc, but lunchtimes I just throw any stuff together in any weird combination and concoction, I'd be embarrassed to open the diary up to be honest, lol. As for breakfast well, I find it a real struggle to eat in the morning, so I have to really…

West Mids here, closed diary as I'm ashamed of my unimaginative mealtimes. :P Add, if you like. :)

I know you say you're not done so it's a semi-success, but wow, what an achievement! I'd say it's a full success already, anything else is just a bonus. I'm very impressed, be sure to keep your success going. Looking good mate, looking good. :)

"Well I won't be gaining, I'll just be losing a little slower for a week or so." <-- That could of been me talking. That's exactly how I do things, you don't have to cut out everything. I'm no expert, but I'd say it's a pretty healthy way of doing things. Funnily enough I was stressing at the weekend since I only lost 1lb…

A fantastic first post. :) I've also had a 'TBY' myself a few years ago, it's weird when allot of things happen in a short period of time. I remember thinking to myself back on New Years Eve - "Did all that really happen?", kinda sobering, anyway I digress. Don't pressure yourself too much for the vacation. Just keep…

I can't help with the vegan part of things but I know there are quite a few around on the boards. Welcome to MFP from a UK'er too. :) Good luck with your dieting/fitness.

I was doing ok before I started MFP, I didn't really have a method other than eat lightly and often. I preferred to get some numbers of some sort so I know where I stand and could have more flexibility without worrying. So with the beauty of technology now, I can add things up before I eat them, I can have more treats than…

Yup, West Mids at the moment. :)

Welcome aboard :) You sound like you know your direction and planned how to get there nicely with some good motivations. Best of luck.

Ahh, teenage mutant ninja turtles, by god they've been going some years now. I had all the action figures and also had a costume so I would leap around the house and defend it from the evil Shredder, course, that was only last week. Remember Chip 'N Dale, Rescue Rangers? That was a good'un too. Rugrats had a long run as…

"In memory of the pallbearers too."

32, Male, West Mids. Dieting for a month but only used MFP from about 2 weeks ago.

*A shameless bump* A little quiet and drafty here, but I guess it was my own fault for writing a post almost containing a whole autobiography. Well done if you did read it all, your reward is in the post. As you can guess it's a struggle for me to be serious about these things, but I can be serious at times when it's…

I don't weigh everything but I do allot of things like grated cheese, normal cheeses, some packet pastas, cereals and things like that as it usually says on packets the calories per gram. I have a really poor sense of judgement in weights, lengths, speed, just about everything, so I find my scales to be invaluable. I feel…

I can only speak for myself but I have found that just logging everything through the app or here on my comp keeps me in check. I can see the numbers go up and I can bring them back down by halving food. I check the food through the barcode or search before I prepare/cook and then add all the calories up into a meal,…
