ive been up about an hour its 8.50 am here, really wanted to lie-in but the kids wouldnt let me (no change there)

I love chicken cacciatore... my recipe (feeds four) 3-4 chicken breasts cut into bite sized chunks 1-2 courgette/zucchini sliced pitted Black olives 1x 400g tin of cherry tomatoes (tinned chopped tomatoes will do) 3-4 cloves garlic finely chopped 1 red & 1 yellow pepper sliced 1 large onion sliced Rosemary chopped Parsley…

i did a couple of days last week and then misplaced my sports bra -- no idea where i put the darn thing (and no way i can do a workout without it) will have a good hunt for it later and hopefully restart tomorrow!

what a beauty! but i wouldnt want to get bitten by one, we dont get black widows here. I used to have a redrump tarantula but she was a pet -- she was quite vicious sometimes.

My belly is a major issue for me too - ive been asked "when im due" and had other comments such as "wow - your having another! arent you brave" I was out with some friends a while ago and a friend of theirs was buying the drinks - he asked what id like and when i said "red wine please" he looked at me and then said "is…

i love MFP. my weightloss has been fairly slow in comparison to others but for me this isnt a race its a lifestyle change. the support is fantastic (i love my mfp friends!!) feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

Im the same... i can go monday to thursday without even thinking about having a drink but friday hits and im gagging to hit the bar! then saturday afternoon/evening im bound to be in my local having a few and sunday starts all over again. Its the social aspect for me i hardly see grown ups all week so the pull of having…

I bought this yesterday and just did my first workout... OMG it was a killer. I found some old weights in the shed so used those started off with 2lb but had to lower them to 1lb half way through as i was really struggling -- having never used weights beffore but figured id try to work up to more!

hi i was born in dublin but moved to england when i was a few months old if that counts! have sent an add request

i take the kids Geocaching. we often make a day of it and go somewhere totally different taking a picnic ad making a day of it. sometimes we just do local ones and just spend a few hours on a weekend or on a sunny afternoon after school. http://www.geocaching.com/

This sounds great.... am printing off and sticking on my fridge!

mmmmm champagne!! can manage without the cupcake but a bit of sparkle is just what i need!:drinker:

hiya im also 5ft 6 and need to lose a total of around 30lbs but i want to get to around 150lbs any more and ill look ill (have been there before) im in my mid 30's and finding it a bit of a struggle so pleased ive found this site have sent an add :)

i havent used the yoga on the wii fit, i also use it to weigh! i also use EA Active 1 and do most of my cardio on it, i find it really good and it shows your calorie burn. i been given Just Dance which is quite good to get you moving but doesnt have a workout feature which is a shame as it would be good for burning a few…

Just to add ive just checked out you tube -- have been desperate to try zumba and guess what there is on there... cant wait to give it a go no idea why i hadnt thought of looking on there before! Thanks again :)

well your sister sounds like a selfish spoilt mare! i agree with the others that she probably feels threatened by your wanting to get fit & lose weight. Im also heading to you tube to see what i can find. Feel free to add me...you dont seem to be getting much support from home (neither do i) sowe could support each other…

Vodka & diet coke, Gin and slimline tonic are both fairly low calorie. The problem with drinking alcohol is normally you will find you "forget " and eat stuff you dont really want/need. if i know ive got a party to go to i just try to eat plenty of healthy filling foods before hand and workout extra hard to give me the…

totally agree with all thats been said previously. having been in a marriage when the other party does nothing but put you down and ignore your achievements (and punched holes in walls/doors, smashed tv's & laptops etc etc during arguements), i would say re-evaluating your life is probably what is making him react this…

:flowerforyou:

if you arent in the mood for eating meat & veggies in an evening could you make a switch and have a bigger meal for your lunch!

Hi Katie Sorry i cant really help answer your question but you say that the step ups are theonly exercise you enjoy and its making you muscly - muscle weighs more than fat so maybe as you have burnt off fat the muscle is adding to the scale! I also measure as a more accurate way so seeing that im losing I have never been a…

i measure my waist, hips, bust and thighs i dont do it weekly but monthly. my weigh in day is tuesday and so i measure the first tuesday of the month

hi always happy to have more friends have sent you a request anyone else feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

i do cleaning tidying and cooking everyday so i dont count it unless i clean the carpets or do heavy gardening then i do as they are things i dont do often

Hi Ive been on this site around a month too so im no expert and your doing great with your weight loss so far, i havent lost that much yet. I had a quick look through your diary for the last week or so and you seem to eat alot of cheese and not much" fresh" fruit and veg? you also seem to have very similar meals every day…

My favorite way to eat strawberries is with raw spinach and goats cheese.... GORGEOUS!! try layering on to some lightly toasted bagette (bagette- spinach- goats cheese-strawberries) no need for butter. add a sprinkling of black pepper and its just divine!

hi jane welcome to mfp, ive been here about a month or so and i love the support & motivation i get from others on the site. feel free to add me -- the more the merrier!:flowerforyou:

i put them in quiches/tarts and risotto and pasta sauces or fry them in a little butter & add to mashed potatoes or salmon & leek filo parcels (great for dinner parties) There are loads of great recipes on the bbc good food website.
