I couldn't tell if you were referring to me or not, but if you were that is so scary because I always wanted to work in Lush, in fact I even got an interview but unfortunately didn't get further than the interview process. I'm glad I didn't though, such a small shop would drive me crazy. And yeah, they're everywhere -…

I guess its really hard to pinpoint something about someone based on one picture, as I noted from the results I got too. Haha.

How to be a woman - Caitlin Moran. Very good, very funny. About half way through so cannot deliver a complete verdict quite yet. Just finished Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. Also very good, quite dark, quite confusing to grasp at some parts but over all and interesting (and slightly messed up) read.

Lol, I love what a filter can do. I really am not a make-up or beauty enthusiast.

Are we talking about 'bad' being 'bad' for our health? Because, if so, then yes...they are bad for our health. If 'bad' just being a socially constructed 'bad' thing to do, then no. Totally the choice of the person.

No way. Never got that one before. That's assuming you were referring to me, because of the bangs/fringe? She's prettier than me anyway.

My bad :blushing: that's my ignorance there...throughout my childhood I always heard my mother say all this stuff about carcinogenics and she'd refer to aspartame a lot, so I put two and two together. Duh. Should have done my research beforehand. But the point's still valid - additives such as are still not 'good for you'.

....but then again, food with no sugar (such as diet coke, low calorie yogurts, ect) are filled with carcinogenics such as aspartame so, even the 'good', unprocessed, no-added sugar foods can be BAD. I'm guessing, its the choice you're going to make between wanting to risk health problems such as diabetes and obesity (if…

Taste: GOOD For your health: BAD

If I'm right, your body naturally burns about 2000 calories throughout the day, therefore, eating under the guideline daily amount would only be beneficial if you're wanting to LOSE weight, not maintain it. So, I'd advise sticking to about 2000. As for the deficit, surely you won't be putting your body in starvation mode…

The only drawback would be the calorie intake I guess...but if you have them to spare and are feeling it then why not treat yourself. How calorific is it?

Respect

I just realised my comment would have been irrelevant now. Duh. You don't have Tesco and Sainsburys over in America, do you? Oh well, regular, cheap sushi will do just fine regardless of the supermarket. As long as its not calorific. :)

Inspirational!

I love Sainsburys/Tesco sushi packs. They're 100-150(ish) calories per pack (depending on the type you get - eg duck or fish), of which contains 6 pieces of sushi. So, about the same as TWO OR THREE Thornton's chocolates...worth it me thinks? And tasty too. If you're looking for a snack which has basically no calories,…

I'm an avid writer, reader and feminist. Aspiring journalist.

People like that are clearly ignorant and as said, probably bored with their own lives or insecure that they feel the need to direct this at other people. I would be shy and self conscious in that position too but you cant let them get to you, for two reasons: one, to satisfy their b****y ways and two, because you're the…

I am. My goal is 1450 p/d as I'm looking to shed 1.5lbs p/w. So far, I've been doing my exercise and diet for 2 weeks now and I'm 2lbs down, maybe a bit more. I don't usually consume my goal calories due to the exercise I do now, but I'm not going to eat if I'm not hungry. Hopefully in 5 weeks I'll be a stone lighter :)

I would class 3 substantial meals as - muesli, raisins and fat free milk (breakfast), a sandwich or salad (lunch) and something like Spagbol/chilli/jacket potato, beans and salad (dinner). This, on average, comes to about 1000 calories.

Never weigh yourself every day. I'm a sucker for this too. I just can't help myself. But it won't help and won't show a proper picture of your weight loss. Try weighing yourself weekly instead. You may be carrying water weight or muscle weight. We're in this together, we must fight not to weigh ourselves every day!

Thanks, lots of information there to help! My daily calorie consumption isn't 1200 anyway (according to MFP) its like 1420. I'm skeptical anyway because with the amount of exercise I've done today, my calorie allowance is HIGHER than it was before I ate anything. So, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm gonna ignore the amount…
