oh you are going to have so much fun. I learn every day what goes with what and what needs cooking and it's not dumb cos some meats for example do need cooking, pancetta and some are cooked and ready to eat proscuitto. How was I supposed to know that (groans with belly ache!) Anything tinned will have usually been prepared…

I've been on here since April and I just posted a topic asking how to post recipes so it looks like my diary. I tried search. Maybe you could tell me cos it wasn't on there and I would like to share with the world my beautiful home cooking!! :smile:

I just pressed on it and it took me to the page. Not sure why it's not working your end :cry:

I had a guy order a rack of ribs (the menu stated pork) and when he had polished them off, and licked his fingers he asked me why they were pink not white. Confused I asked him what type of meat he thought they were. He replied chicken. When I said they were pork he exclaimed he couldn't eat pork and was not going to pay.…

boiled eggs, boil them the night before. Excellent snack and keeps you full! baby sweetcorn and hummous

Yeah.. so hot you want it!!! ha ha!

what did you enjoy most about losing weight? Did you enjoy comments, little NSVs, being able to run up the stairs. Have a word with yourself and ask why. Why do you want to keep it up, what did you enjoy, why did you enjoy that, how did it make you feel. Use tomorrow to start again from fresh and keep visualising what you…

I have been on MFP since April, I have had off months where I can't be bothered but I still found myself choosing wisely and thinking about food. I can not and will not ever be able to praise MFP enough and all my friends on here, they will never realise how much they have changed my life. A year ago I was a mess,…

I use the food diary to choose what to eat, it has all my meals saved in their with their calorie content and it's stuff I enjoy and like to eat. If I didn't use the food journal I think my guesstimate calorie intake would be way too high. I have used the food journal since April and even now I'm sometimes shocked at how…

mine is my name and my partners name. It's how we met, when I asked his name and he said Troy (which I was named after), it was bang, you're it!

tesco is a big supermarket here in Britain. The biggest one!

I put a jacket potato on the scale the other day, the size I always have and have been logging as 150g. It's 200g. I've had to go back to weighing everything, I thought I was eating healthy but my portion sizes had crept up without me even noticing. That's just me. Maybe it's nothing but maybe it's something really small,…

can I ask, are you still logging your food... strictly? I was kinda logging and thinking I was doing fine but when I really thought about it I was kinda under estimating and leaving the odd glass of wine out etc. I'm not back on it stricter than ever and it's working so far. Fingers crossed!

oh I am with you sister! I struggled the last two months, no motivation, wanted to eat hearty food, stressed about uni and just down in the dumps with the weather. Last Thursday, I had a good word with myself, had a cry drank some wine and got back on the wagon. I absorbed myself in success stories on MFP and the forums…

i just did... and it was gooooooooood!!!!!! fills me up, and tastes like a party in my mouth!

oh thank god! I can do the diet bit, and lose weight. I can bare swimming, but it doesn't excite me. I'd love to love running, but I feel my head is going to explode. I would love to learn how to run and not have my heart feel like it's about to explode. so yeah I'm interested in any hints or tips?

oh sweetie, it's gonna take time, crying, some wine and friends. it's great that you're already being mature about it all by saying it wasn't a waste of three/four years. Has he suddenly got scared, he's not scared is he of you finding someone else.. younger fitter etc.As he is older he may feel insecure about your weight…

oh yeah the weird thing is I love pickled eggs but my oesophagus can't handle them!!! :-((

completely know where you are coming from. I had lost 44 lbs then gained a few back last month. So disheartening and it's winter so all I want it comfort food! I have now turned to soup! I also realised I hadn't even been on the success story forum in ages. So... I absorbed myself on there for a few hours today and…

sharon did you just write that whole post again instead of quoting it?! Ha ha

hey... Well done for just coming on here. It sounds like you are trying to fill a void with food that you're not quite ready to deal with. It's amazing when you start asking yourself why, the answers you come up with. I have a friend on here called 500lbs2marathon. I urge you to befriend him and read his journey. He's lost…

a trip to the docs did the same for me. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, drank too much, and was way overweight. She worried me, and I was only 30!. I was working long hours so was stressed and naively thought at the age of 30 I didn't need to worry. I have lost over 35 pounds and I went back to the doctor and she…

I think you'll find eggs are the answer. I've just written a post on eggs! They're awesome. Boil 'em, scramble them, microwave them (not in the shell!!) poach them, fry them. omelette, boiled eggs. Keeps you full for long!

what helped for me was visualising myself at a certain weight and looking down at the scales and seeing that number. Everytime I exercised I imagined people saying how great I looked and how much better/ sexier I would feel. I kept getting these wonderful Non scale Victories (NSVs) where little things would make me smile…

I found this as well, I really lowered my salt intake and when I eat out now, everything seems dead salty and I'm pulling funny faces and everyone else is putting MORE salt on. An eye opener!

Where I work there are security cameras and I used to hate seeing myself on them, couldn't believe that was the size I was. I walked past the camera the other day and looked at the monitor and honest to god I walked backwards and forwards again. I could NOT believe that was me. Totally different person. I also pose for…
