Yes I would! :) Would you go running with me?

We all have different shaped bodies....bones, muscles and the way we carry weight. Im a typical pear shape and have massive hips but I do not use this as an excuse! I may I have to work harder than others but I dont have to accept my big fat hips! Its easier to say 'I can't' rather than 'I can and I will, now watch me go'…

Make your diary public (you can do this by changing your privacy settings) so people can have a look and give you advice on your question :)

So glad dont need to worry about thanksgiving (live in the uk) christmas day is enough for me! lol

I managed to lose a pound a day BUT I was undereating and exercising every day. Not healthy at all!!!! so no, I dont think its a good idea to lose 3-5lbs a week. 1-2lbs is better as its easy to lose but harder to keep it off. Good luck!

well my guinea pigs are very offended!! lol :open_mouth:

no friends of mine have BUT its hard to ignore all the stories and tv shows on people who are eating themselves to death and no its not a simple case of going down to your local burger king and kicking the bucket after ONE burger. its about someone who cannot simply stop even being told they will die if they dont. Just…

ok respect what you are saying but another point on the issue.... we all have different goals when it comes to our bodies but there are people out there who are so overweight that basically they have been told if they do not stop overeating they will die, just like smokers and drinkers right? surely being told something…

Thats because you have good willpower :) wish I did!! im either all or nothing! I myself find it easier to cut it out rather than have a little.....thats my trigger for a binge! lol. but we are all different.

sezxystef....ok please dont get mad at me when I say this but I get the impression that in your eyes drink and drugs are the only thing classed as 'addictions'? I dont know about anyone else but surely an addiction is just as much a mental health issue like 'overeating' as its all to do with the mind. ok, lets take food…

for me its my porridge (oatmeal) I always buy the untouched stuff (not flavoured) but boy it tastes boring. so always jazz it up with my protein powder!! myprotein has a great choice of flavours......like lemon cheesecake and jam roly poly! but they actually taste like it! yum!

thats ok, i'll get over it with a bag of cookies I'm sure. cheat day coming up soon. woo hoo!!! :smiley:

sigh, wasnt talking about WEIGHT LOSS in that post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please reread my o.p on it and for the record, I LOVE love love cake, cookies, doughnuts, pancakes, cheesecake, ice cream, muffins, cupcakes and anything else thats crammed full of sugar/fat!!! dont care what anyone says....thats my drug!!! hum, group…

agree! but lets not forget its still tough for people addicted to alcohol too. ive got plenty of people in my life who is affected by it!! not nice to see :(

sigh I wasnt saying that!!!! please read my op about it......i was saying I crave all kinds of food and not just stuff full of sugar, wasnt going on about losing weight!!!!!! ive noticed some (not all) are super mega quick to jump on you and snap!!!!! wow whatever happened to good old fashioned help and support??? might…

completely agree!!!! its easier to cut something out completely then to learn to have less of it BUT before anyone has a go I know its not easy for alcoholics....ive only just learned that one of my closest members of my family have had very bad news due to problems with alcohol

well you know, cookies, cakes, ice cream etc. only said that as i was being accused of acting like a teenager who got crabby when her mummy and daddy told her she cant have a cookie! which isnt the case! :)

err im 27 thanks!! I meant my body is set into a certain routine when I like to eat (healthy meals, not crap) but if for whatever reason, boyfriend is late is a classic!! I get p***ed off because my blood sugar is low and my body is CRAVING food!!! wont bother you with my situation but put it this way, I need to change my…

or cigarettes????? my dad is a heavy smoker and I aint never seen him in that state. well not in public anyway!!!

I dont care what anyone says. overeating, stuffing your face, binge eating, emotional eating or whatever you call it, is an ADDICTION!!! when you love food and you are so determined to lose weight and get those abs you have always dreamt of....you need WILLPOWER! sometimes you can fight the urge to raid the biscuit tin or…

I think its all about finding the right balance that fits for you. I think both exercise and healthy eating go hand in hand. But I really think healthy eating is more important than exercise. if you think about it, your only exercising for a certain part of the day, whatever you put in your body is what you do all day.…

a week ago and it was kitkat peanut butter chunky bar.....I have no regrets!! :P if I could have something so bad it tastes so good right now....it would be a whole tub of karamel sutra core ben and jerrys and a krispy kreme doughnut.....mmmmmm. but it is only a teasing daydream! :(

wholegrain, wholemeal or rye bread are good choices :)

thank you :)

100% fact!!! you could spend hours in the gym and go home and binge for the rest of it (yep ive done it!!) 20% exercise 80% Nutrition all the way :)

yep i agree! I try to stick to the 80/20 rule. need my cheat meal once a week! I know all the healthy stuff to eat but omg I freaking love cake, doughnuts, ice cream etc so much!! super mega jealous of my best friend, same age as me, and she can eat as much crap as she wants and is so slim! she thinks im mad being obsessed…

'clean eating' is just a phase!!! does 'one ingredient' food sound better?? but dont get confused, you can use 'one ingredient's together so you can still make your homemade tomato sauce with your veggies! just make sure you clean the veggies first yeah? dont want a batch of soil in the sauce! although could make it…

having my nike watch helps when I go for a run and a cupboard full of healthy stuff too! :)
