good old tetley for me.....I am a tea fanatic and I am british BRITISH TEAS I LIKE ARE.......twinings..tetley....typhoo NEVER...liptons....thats the weak muck they serve you abroad and just doesnt cut it lol

I have 500mls of skimmed milk a day for cereals at breakfast and cups of tea.....this milk contains so much sugar ...then a portion of fruit and maybe a fruit yogurt and I am way over my daily sugar allowance .....these are not the bad sorts of sugars so will this affect my health I would hate to become diabetic.....I am…

bump yum yum

ERIC ......our gorgeously cute and wonderfully funny cross terrier RESCUE dog ....( how anyone could have not wanted him we will never comprehend ).....see my ticker for a glimpse of him

it takes all sorts to make a world and thats why MFP is so great because we all do our own thing and as long as what we do does not harm or effect anyone else thats fine .....so if people want to worry about what goes in their mouth thats fine and if they want to eat a takeaway or chocs thats fine too.....its all about…

If you have never done any real excercise before the best way to start is with walking choose a scenic route and move your butt ....when your fitness level improves increase the time distance and pace and when you feel fit enough you could then start to jog if you want .....dancing burns loads as does swimming .....if you…

So agree with lots of your thoughts and been round the block a few times myself this is my LAST weight loss journey and regaining any weight is now NOT on my agenda neither is there any rush as I have the rest of my life to enjoy.....been losing a steady pound a week and the occasional two (flukes really) I always stick to…

bump

hey you have lost 26 pounds by your ticker.....so you are definitely getting smaller.....we all have the feeling sometimes that we are getting nowhere but just stop and take a look back to where you have come from and then you will realise its all worth the effort and so what if its a bumpy ride as long as we reach our…

I get problems with co - workers now too. They say "Would you like some of this.....this being something very unhealthy.....I reply "No thank you ,I am happy with my lunch thank you" they say " Go on this little bit wont hurt you" .......what they fail to realise is that the little bits add up to a big pile of real…

definitely go with your dieticians advice .......we are all here because we have food issues and need guidance.....I plan to stay with MFP until I can know what is a normal portion size without a second thought thats when I leave and take my first solo flight without a parachute lol

My thoughts are that you may be so close to goal weight that the loss will now be much much slower....pure maths will tell you what you will lose per week and even if you only lose a quarter of a pound a week you will get where you want to be ....the problem with slow progress is that most scales would not show this for…

wild party

well its working for me so I would say yes to that

FAT older and non the wiser.....I owe my healthy lifestyle to the simplicity of MFP and the fact that it is FREE is a big part of it for me......also hoping I can maintain my weight with this new easy way to log and count calories......long may MFP reign WOOP!! WOOP!!!

I keep to the settings on MFP .....as they are working for me got no grumbles with it.....you can find your BMR on MFP and just go with that......of course you have to be honest with your settings when you start or it will not give you accurate answers but as long as you do it correctly its not a bad reading.....as i have…

if you want this more than anything in the world just hold that enthusiam and work your way forward .....log consistently and dont give up and then you will succeed....everything is possible if we put in enough effort.......never give in never surrender.....failure is not an option !!!

agree with others 1200 is the lowest setting ......so your like me and need to have a little patience with it and you will get there it just takes a little longer thats all.....I have the same problem but lose 1 pound steadily each week

olive oil is the best thing generally for your health....but butter will do no harm in moderation and to add flavour to certain recipes occasionally is fine

I totally agree with you ......I am 59 in april and want a healthy body to see me into my old age and I am getting there....one pound a week in progress but I am chipping away at it and will be on maintainance sometime this year. Thats the real tester for me keeping the weight off permanently....watch this space:drinker:

there are so many it would be difficult to list them all ......basically what you need to do for this one is go to your supermarket cake/sweets /choc aisle and think small sizes or lower cals .....all foods are labelled now with calories per portion pick up what you fancy and pick one thats pretty small and within 100 cals…

portion control is the worst thing..........sometimes I just want to eat the world :sad::laugh: but I substitute an Apple or a plate of salad :grumble: :laugh:

Agree theres a rainbow but there is never an end if you want to be slim as we are not safe to be in control of food without support :love:

Hello I am glenbabe and I am a foodaholic.:laugh: :laugh: ........dont think there are many people that dont feel this way .....but it all depends how great your desire is for the new slim you that is yet to come.....if you want it more than anything you will steel yourself and get on track to what you desire........my…

what a great idea.......this might be a way for me to contol my portions when I am at maintenance thanks for that sounds COOL :smokin:

you can friend me I am open on my diary and 1200 daily

moths especially hawk ones ....I run a mile when they get in the house

do agree to a large extent with what you have said ....however I am a 59 year old woman whose metabolic rate is pretty low owing to my age and my job being sat on my butt.... and arthitic knees which hinders excercise apart from walking..... so in order for me to lose weight..... as my allowance is at the lowest 1200…

I am over with sugar every day because of fruit and milk but they are healthy options (I use skimmed milk ) and this is not in my belief the sugars you need to watch.... refined sugars however are evil demons that lurk around every corner:devil: :laugh: lol you will still lose weight if you watch carbohydrates and fats and…

I can totally relate to your issue .....its my greatest fear that this will be yet another failed attempt to become a healthy slim person.I see this as my last chance to succeed having spent most of my life so far forever yo-yo dieting. I have never known what it is to be a permanent healthy weight and was a fat child and…
