Ah, my ice cream substitute is a Starbucks coffee light frappucinno - I don't know if the menu is identical in the States (I'm from the UK), but whenever I'm craving coffee icecream (or chocolate, 'cause they do a mocha light version), I go out and get myself one! As I said not entirely sure if it's the same but in the UK…

Tell me about it! Right now all of the bosses are coming back from their summer holidays and bringing treats for everyone from where they went - Switzerland (chocolate), Greek (pastry sweets), Turkish (turkish delight)... absolute hell. Plus we have a general rule of bringing in the cakes on birthdays.. argh! Generally I…

I bought some from my local oriental food shop the other day, was chatting to the shopkeeper there about them. Apparently they're pretty tasteless but they soak up whatever you cook them with - I've not actually cooked them yet but I'm planning to have them for dinner tomorrow with some chicken stock and some vegetables.…

I get this! I found this... http://running.about.com/b/2008/07/21/why-do-my-toes-feel-numb-when-running.htm Generally the same advice, make sure your shoes fit, don't tie your shoe laces overly tight, etc. I'm putting up with it until I can go running shoe shopping as it's not too bad right now.

Vodka with diet cranberry juice is yummy if the place you go has it... MFP has diet cranberry (generic) listed as 5 cals a glass :) +++ NO FIZZ! lol

Same as a lot of people - I weigh myself whenever I feel like it, usually daily, but only track it in MFP weekly.

I get either Bobbi Brown makeup or Groupon food offers. I much prefer the makeup ads, 70% off on burgers, pizza etc is really not kind :P

A guy you had a crush on in high school saying something like that is surely the ultimate right? Yes I know we are doing it for ourselves, but that's like something from a movie. :) I would lovvve that to happen to me (hopefully one day it will) - congrats on all your progress.

Pizza I can honestly say that cutting down on pizza is the hardest part of this. And to be honest most of the time I wind up cutting it out altogether - I know that goes against the ethos we have on here but I figure right now I just need to take myself away from it. Once I've got further down the road I'll see if I can…

Sometimes I weight myself at night just to see and I'm the same weight as I was that morning despite obviously having food in my body... it's weird. I guess the ring thing is an upside of not being engaged or married or whatever... there's got to be some after all!!! :laugh:

something without a bra!! Though whether I'll lose from my boobs or they are 'meant' to be this way remains to be seen... :S

Thanks for the support all :) I know I have to just focus on today... feeling a bit more upbeat and just been hovering on the motivation page looking at everyone's before and afters. I know it can be done! cambellcjdm, I'd completely forgotten about the weekly button, it's showing me I'm nearly hitting my weekly average…

Ugh so cross with myself, drank plenty of wine last night and then wound up de-touring via a chinese takeout... hello sesame prawn toasts and duck with rice, goodbye making my calorie goal (and all my other damn goals) for the day... Now sitting at work with a little bit of a headache but have promised myself I will go to…

Mushrooms Chicken stock 1 cal spray oil GREEN TEA Spices (you can't make me pick just one spice, that's so mean!)

I've been back on the diet wagon for 10 days now and only yesterday did I realise that I'd copied out my requirements without looking from an old diet book... I kept going over on carbs with no idea why ... realised I'd allocated from an old diet notebook when I was back doing Atkins! No wonder I kept going over! It's all…

Mon - 0 Tue - 2 ciders (light, though!) Wed - 0 Tonight.... tonight I've got a friend coming to visit from out of town. She has requested we meet somewhere with wine... lushy times ahead :S

Such a good idea! I'm making one for my desk at work right now! :)

Strawberry sugarfree gum! Gets me through!

I do agree it's a huge issue and kids need to be educated. However: There really really IS such a thing as puppy fat. Ok, not kids who are morbidly obese, obviously. But both my sister and I went through a stage between the ages of 10 - 13 where we grew 'out' before we grew 'up', and were just over what was considered a…

Another Londoner here too! We can do this :) sounds like you've broken a tough old cycle, time for a new one!

Hey guys! New to MFP but I know exactly what you are all on about... :) Hadn't drunk a drop all week and then massively screwed up last night, 3 glasses of wine and a beer - Just about stayed within my calorie limits but right now I'm a teeny bit hungover and ALL I can think about is food!!! The stupid thing is I know i'm…
