  • I'm going to go with the cake batter. give it a few hours and I reckon you will be going to the toilet again!
  • That's weird (I was a kid when I thought this!!!) this is why I wouldn't wear my glasses as a kid, I didn't think I needed them, so as a 10 year old child I took the decision to never wear them. My eyesight is the best in the family and they are all still wearing glasses!
  • So... what's your theory on optometrists and eyeglasses?
  • I wanted to be called Daisy as a child and wanted to go to boarding school. I wanted this till I was 15! I used to be able to just tap my nose and get a nosebleed. (I got out of so many classes at school!) I have bear tracks on the back of my eyeballs so I get free eye tests as opticians are so interested in seeing them…
  • OH MY GOD!!!!! I just read this out to my dad in absolute horror!!!! I don't drink coke, haven't done for months but I will never ever touch a drop again!
  • people might not agree with this so I'm saying it in hushed tones so nobody can hear me! I work on a week basis. I want a deficit of 7000 calories a week to get a 2lb loss. If I go over one day I know I have to go under the next day by that amount. As I said hushed tones! I also think I've taken to cooking the things I…
  • why don't you for every pound you lose put 2 dollars/pounds into a jar so when you have lost 20lbs you have 40 pounds to spend on your hair I reward myself with clothes or sexy lingerie!!!
  • ok I think my diary is open so you can see nutritional info on there for one slice. Basically though I literally fly by the seat of my pants. Ingredients BASE digestive biscuits peanut butter Leave to set in fridge TOP 2 sachets of gelatine Evaporated milk Extra light Philadelphia almond essence dash of baileys (optional)…
  • No get out of here, that is not the same person! Bloody hell, that is phenomenal change!!!!
  • This was on the general weight loss forum as one you need to read again and again, I totally know where you are coming from Phase 1. The start of a brand new day! (or week, or month, or year) Expectations are sky high, usually so is motivation and intentions. This is where most people lose the most weight. At the start…
  • so if your calories count was below 1200 calories, did you have a message saying you were eating too few calories? what was the final calories count? Are you putting slim fast into the diary? I think it must have something to do with the set up. Can you look at your progress and see what your stats are on there?
  • I don't get it.... Are you telling me I should eat my exercise calories back?? Does that mean I don't need to exercise in the first place unless I want more food?? nom nom nom!!! Only kiddin' I like the idea of patient bear going into hibernation once a year, I think we should all give him a cuddle cos he's a big bear!!!…
  • you're amazing. Quite simply that, this is a fantastic NSV and you're right, nothing should stop us being healthy and fit. You've done fabulously. Very inspired by you, Keep it up!
  • what's your total calories for the day? You sure you put the right weight to start with? Is it saying you are eating too few calories. I think maybe something has gone wrong with the set up because if you go under 1200 calories, there is a message in red saying too few calories bad for you ya da ya da ya da.
  • You my friend are awesome! You're doing so fantastically!! Well done keep up the fantabulous work!!
  • you are looking awesome! You have done so well and should be proud of how far you have come physically and emotionally. Well done girl, you is hot! :glasses:
  • awesome, fantastic work
  • surely if you HAVE to lose the weight before surgery the doctors would have put you on the cabbage soup diet which the NHS use over here to get people down in weight before they go for surgery. I'd ask your doctor if there are any diets he suggests maybe? 2 kg is 4.4 lbs? I'd say at a stretch you could do it but definitely…
  • oh yeah, at the beginning, everyone tries to put you off, it's only because you are doing something about it and they aren't quite there yet and are a little envious. You gotta ask yourself, do you want to live and be healthy and is that more important than a few jibes about what you eat, cos mark my words, as the pounds…
  • Me too, is it weird that I used to fancy Bowie before he got his teeth fixed?!?! You remind me of the babe, what babe,babe of the power, what power. power of voodoo, who do you do, do what remind me of the babe!!!!
  • I love things like this. I was the inspired friend and now I am inspiring others!!! I saw my friends who had lost loads of weight and decided I wanted to do the same. Now people are asking me and I'm shouting it from the rooftops MFP!!!!
  • I love you!!! :flowerforyou:
  • I started my journey at 212lbs 4 months ago (Aprl 12th), as of today I am 37 lbs down. So worth the journey, and I couldn't have done it without MFP Good luck one and all, you're sure as hell gonna enjoy this ride, and remember if it was easy... Coca cola, Mcdonalds and krispy Kreme wouldn't be millionaires!! love to one…
  • you need to watch this one.... she's trouble! :brokenheart: :laugh:
  • sorry, you said you lost something in 8-9 days?? Only kiddin!!!!! I'm with ya, let's be proud of our accomplishments, just today I am feeling extra proud, I am 7lbs off being overweight. I have lost officially 2 and a half stone or 35lbs (but not putting it on tracker till tomorrow!) and my trousers are loose. I am amazing…
  • I made a funny type cheesecake extra light philidelphia (or soft cheese) 4 calorie jelly biscuit base with low fat margarine. evaporated milk. Check out my pictures on my profile to see the end result. It was ... different but only 100 cals a piece.
  • ok. You can either.... go cold turkey and they become banished. Switch to diet and wean yourself off them. Drink fizzy water with cordial and use less and less until it's just fizzy water you drink. I had to go cold turkey. I don't drink anything during the week apart from fizzy water, water and green tea. When I go out, I…
  • I drink decaffeinated, its the caffeine that makes it a not so great. For me personally I'd rather drink 7 cups of green tea than 7 cups of water. It makes it more exciting for me :smile:
  • yes!!!!!! counts as your water, super tasty and rumour has it that is speeds up metabolism (before you all jump on me, I said rumour has it!!!) drink about 7 cups a day and it actually helps stave off hunger, but that might be psychological!
