Fantastic!! can i just say nothing and i repeat NOTHING beats a good bar of cadburys choc!! ok ok this is a health/ fitness site but i'll admit to having choc everyday, in moderation and yes its cadbury and MMMmmmmmm :-) ps i have tried american choc and sorry, not for me!!

haha. yep i did that in a restaurant in New york on hol a few years back and will never forget the look of horror and amusement i was given!! I learnt quickly to say 'rest room' after that!!! :-) also do you guys across the pond realise how American the phrase 'good job!' is? love it!

Reach for the moon..... even if you miss you'll land among the stars :-) (anon) 'Dance like no one is watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like no one is listening, Live like it's heaven on earth' (w purkey) a couple of my fav's :-)))

brilliant article thank you :-) I have had a very poor mindset in the past and my weight has been up and down like a yoyo but i really try and view things differently now.... healthy eating and increased exercise is a permanent lifestyle change. the weight is coming off steady- i'll get there when i get there. i can't be…

i'm english... from East Sussex by the sea. sorry i've never lived in a cottage but i would love to!!

Slow & steady wins the race. I totally agree. You don't have to change everything right away. You don't have to be perfect everyday. You just need to make improvements & adjustments. [/quote] Thank you THANK YOU both! I could not agree more. In the past I have mentally put myself under A LOT of pressure to loose weight and…

Wow these are brilliant - thank you all for sharing :-)

I have fairly low calorie meals - sticking to low calorie, high density things like fruit, veg, lean meat, rice, potatoes with no fat added and low/ no fat items like 0.1% fat yogurt, cottage cheese or fromage frais instead of full fat stuff like cream. I fill up on the meals, which leaves me quite a lot of calories left…

Hi, thank you for the welcome:-) I am just getting used to the site and i have to say it looks fantastic!! My 1st few food diarys have been a bit of an eye opener!! too much salt, not enough fibre and never enough water! good thing is i am managing to stay under my calorie allowance (so far!!! but now its the weekend eek).…
