I can't stand the after taste of artificial sweeteners whether it's in food or drink. Luckily I was never a soft drink/soda drinker and for anything else I either get the real sugar version or sweeten it myself with stevia.

Cow tongue or sheep tongue were regulars in our household. I've had rabbit stew (admittedly didn't know it was rabbit til afterwards) and it was good. Love Black pudding. Don't think I could stomach the OP's foods but lately the smell of fried food makes me feel ill, so to each their own :smile:

I can manage 36 in 3 sets of 12, but struggling at the end of the last set. 3 weeks ago I would be lucky to do 12 in total so i'm feelin pretty good :smile:

If we add some HCG can we put the pretty pills and the rainbow liquid from under the sink in the pie?????

I could never face solid food for breakfast, so I had a protein shake in the mornings instead. I have now moved up to a Natures Valley Bar on weekdays and Eggs on Toast (admittedly about 1 1/2 hours after I wake up) on weekends. One day I might eat a "real" breakfast but hey, it's working for me so far

I just took a look at your progress photo in your profile and OMG - you have nothing to be feeling bad about!!! You have done great!!! Don't get hung up on the scale. Try taking measurements,because I can see you have shrunk heaps and don't get down on yourself. It can be frustrating if you have eaten well and exercised…

I can see a massive difference. You are being far too hard on yourself, try to take a look at those photos and pretend they are someone else. Stand tall and feel very, very proud of what you have achieved.

Thanks for the post. Will definitely try this and perfect for my daughter to make for herself.

I make basically the same meal, but where I have salad and meat only, for the family I will add pasta, potato salad etc.

They're not great, but they are all mine and I am proud of them :smile:

I absolutely cannot stomach cooked spinach but I eat raw spinach as a salad pretty much every night for dinner. I use baby spinach if I can or normal spinach cut up and add all the stuff that I would put in a lettuce salad (spring onion, radish, cherry tomatoes, raw mushrooms and carrot) top off with garlic and feta low…

I could live without meat, but I would be hoping for a quick death :tongue:

^^^^ This Having been very overweight from a very young age and with a family history of very poor skin elasticity (my son who has never been overweight has stretch marks) I am NEVER going to have a lovely flat stomach. I will keep trying and I can dream but I am under no illusions that it is going to happen.

You can still have beer and there are some really good lower cal beers around. Living in NZ I drink Steinlager edge and at 80 calories a bottle a few beers is certainly not doing me any harm.

I walk at 5 mph which is 8 kmh, yes it is faster than some people run - in fact I have passed joggers by walking at this pace. I can't run to save myself but can walk at this pace for 1-1hrs and get a good calorie burn.

I have 2 dogs & I was buying a large bag of Pal and standing inline at the check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Pal Diet again although I probably shouldn’t because I’d ended up in the hospital last time, but that I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an…

Sorry we are unavailable to take your call right now......... :yawn:

I use the gradual tanner too and it is awesome. Unlike instant tanning lotions I never end up with blotches/streaks/white patches and once you get to a level of tan that you want you just use it once or twice a week to maintain it and not get any darker. Tried a spray tan once and I don't know if I went to a bad place for…

It's just my opinion but I was sure this section was call "Chit-chat, FUN, and games. Lighten up kiddies.

About how much is 2 sheets of Graham Crackers in cups and/or weight??? We don't get Graham crackers in NZ.

Way to go fellow NZer!!!!! Huge difference already, keep up the good work :happy:

Did she??? Did he???? Dying to know how the story ends :smile:

Also have no experience with bulimia but can only recommend that if it is coming back up then maybe your stomach just isn't ready for it and you may be doing more harm and making a relapse more likely by forcing yourself to eat and then vomiting. Maybe try sticking to fluids and get some electrolyte/glucose type drinks.…

Devilsangel has been my user name for years now and signifies my contrary personality. Part good girl, part bad girl and a whole lot of things in between. :laugh: The 2 is because I signed up here once before, many years ago, but when I came back I couldn't remember what password or even what email address I had used…

I think you'll find there are laws against eating people. :noway:

I get this toward thee end of a hard gym workout. Have had blood tests, scans etc. and no cause has been found, I now call it my imaginary pain and often wish like heck that I didn't have such a good imagination.. Mine tends to be in the middle of my cycle too ( once again sorry guys) and goes on for about a week.

Seems to me that these girls aren't actually saying they have an ED (just going by what the OP has quoted). I think the saddest part is that many of them actually think they are just fine, eating 200 calories is good and being super skinny is the ideal thing to be. I wonder where they get that idea from???? How often do…

Wow are the men blind around your way??? Going by your pics you are absolutely gorgeous, I don't get it :noway:

10kg is not a huge amount to lose but it is going to take time and effort. Changing your lifestyle also takes time, don't try to change all your bad habits at once, just concentrate on one thing for today (or a couple of days) then add in something else. E.G. Would you normally have had 2 cookies or 6? If the answer is 6…
