Manchester here. Still a long way to go (4st), lost 2st last time I was here but only put on half stone back over the 8mths I've been away (injury, CFS/ME preventing me from exercising, being witness to a suicide). Got back on my bike to commute for the first time since November today :smiley: Looking forward to getting…

I love Valkyria Chronicles, but I too get stuck. Started playing it through again about 6 months ago, and stopped at roughly the same point as before - though looking at it now it seems I was close to the end! Might have to give the last chapter a go soon!!

Winner!

@curlywagg can you get soya latte where you buy yours? Coffee places use a professional soya product that doesn't curdle and tastes lovely (imho). @sparklepants I second things like greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, eggs and pulses/legumes. I sprinkle some hemp seed on my breakfast each day as it gives me (as a veggie) some…

I have similar problems and I would also recommend swimming. Then, after a few weeks/months of that, I would suggest cycling too - can hurt the knees if seat position is wrong but with some core strength (built up through the swimming) in addition to a well fitted bike and you'll be fine. Cycling can be very effective as a…

There's quite a few groups for Vegetarians/Vegans and Vegans, so we are on MFP! I've been vegetarian all my life. Oscillated to veganism, but it was during a bad phase in terms of relationship with food (not the cause, I have to say but since getting back to 'normal' dietary intake have resumed being an ovo-lacto…

Lol first time I heard someone say that :P It's the lips and cheekbones :) and @hoodi90‌ wow, haha. For you - Eva Longoria http://www.rds.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/eva_longoria_nuovo_fidanzato.jpg (smile, eyes and radiance)

Snow White and the Huntsman

Kinda getting a Jamie Foxx vibe from your profile pic :)

I'm still pretty much at the start of my long-term journey (I'm making small and measured changes instead of yo-yoing for the rest of my life) but I can remember when I was a lot thinner (read: ill) the cold thing was oh-so very true! Fat is an effective insulator! The best bits about my loss so far using MFP... - has to…

My Zombies, Run playlist - currently Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

I'm just playing Origins. Housemate has a PS4 and I got some PS4 game credit for birthday. Waiting on finishing Origins and hopefully the price might have dropped a bit! Also, the person who said about Alien: Isolation... only just properly met the Alien but I LOVE it so far and I'm a massive fan of the first two movies.…

This ^ So much this. Ugh. I usually log it accurately through the week (heavy drinking and all) but then it goes out the window as of a weekend.

Under the skin

Deerhoof - La Isla Bonita album. Seeing them in Feb, can't wait.

I'm with others on this. I do go over (usually at the weekend) but look at weekly average as I'm going along. As Lieajane mentioned, your goal already is at deficit (if you're not on maintain or gain) so if you keep to around that you will lose weight. I have lost a stone but it has been slow for me as I've not been that…

Doctor Castiel Hamish Starlord

Well he strikes me as the type that might not mind being shared :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Misha :heart: :kissing_closed_eyes: You're so lucky! @carlydevi

CAH is definitely a popular intro game - for a certain type of person ;P not really a board game I suppose though. And I know of Avalon and Penny Arcade but not played them - you've given me more things to look into, thanks! :D Got Discworld recently and will prob try that and 7 Wonders sometime this week. @jwedebro…

Genderfluid, though presents feminine for the main. Losing weight for many reasons but one key personal one is to feel more comfortable physically presenting more masculine. Also cheered up by seeing trans* getting represented here :D

Yeah it does!! And Gabrielle Union @fat_beyonce‌

@JackKopCh‌ Delicious McAvoy ;D

:astonished: I WISH! You flatter me so, kind sir ;) Marion Cotillard is hawtness incarnate @JenNicole11‌ - Eva Mendes :)

Baaaah, heathens. I love learning new games personally - I've been dubbed the rule sponge. Not convinced that's a particularly flattering thing to be called but still... Quite lucky really, housemates/ex-housemates enjoy them too. Most of us are meeting up on a houseboat to play Cards Against Humanity and Munchkin at the…

Wow - thanks for the inspiration, and well done on working it your way! I am definitely a desk jockey at work and crunches don't feel necessarily the best for me (at this level of strength) either. It's mostly my neck but I do get pain elsewhere (have fibro that's getting under control with regular exercise but is still…

Ooh, ta! I've never heard kneeling cable crunches... will definitely try them out. I think there's a suitable machine in my gym.

Thank you! :) I won't give up. I can remember in the far mists of time past when I could actually do lots of crunches, so I know it IS possible. I just couldn't believe how little strength I have left there...!

I hope it's not too late to join this thread - I just found out at the end of last year that shock-horror... I actually enjoy cycling!! Having not ridden for 17+ years, and rather stubborn about riding full stop, I decided on a whim to bite the bullet and get a bike through a cycle scheme at work. I've not looked back…
