Sounds yum, my familly love really thin base pizzas so i will giving that a try.

Hurrah so glad its not just me. And so long as the scales and the tape measure go down a bit each month that will do very nicely!

You got bread and butter! I got sent to the bottom step of the stairs with my plate until it was clean!

Well said. When my children started eating solid food we made the decision to only take them to eat at places where the "childrens menu" was smaller portions of theadult dishes. They are both healthy and make great food choices, which makes me proud of the decisions we made for them, i have never understood the need for…

I wouldnt eat it raw once you have frozen it. It needs to be really fresh to eat raw so from a good fishmonger who knwos the source and how fresh it is etc

Hi, I am a mum in my 30's, married another 40-50lbs to loose, but certainly never sarcastic :laugh: and hopefully kind and loving. I have sent a friend thingy Rachel

I plan my evening meals for the week ahead and each day i decide which mela i havent have will be tomorrows dinner and add that. Then if it is quite low cal i have a higher cal breakfast to even the day out. If the evening meal is quite high in cals i have porridge for breakfast, lunch always comes in around the same…

Thanks i will have to check out M&S and what they have that fits. I would check out a trouser altering service but the ones i have are pretty much on their last legs anyway so not much point paying out to have them altered. Will also check out workouts as well, i appreciated i will probably always have a little bit of a…

Thats one of my favourite winter receipes, utterly delicious!

I was in exactly the same boat last week i gaine 2lbs despite excercise and being within calories and always over 1200. This week i havent really done anything different just more of the same and the scales are back down by the 2lbs. I put it down to stress. I guess so long as they eventually go down all is well with the…

My day is simillar to your and i have myself set as lightly active. My children are both at school so i walk the 2 mile trip to the next village and back 3-4 days a week at a very fast pace and add that to my excercise diary.

Waving hello from near Manchester airport :smile:

I put maple syrup or normal syrup (just a small amount) and some chopped up pecans or almonds in mine, yum!

Thanks I would be interested to hear how the Polar FT4M work outi have seen other people mention it. I think i need to go shopping and see what is out there.

You have done so well already dont let this send you backwards. Having said that i do understand exactly where you are coming from as i have a simillar situation, my mum continually berated me about my weight but has never doen the same with my sister who is much bigger than i am. You are stong you are taking charge of…

I realised that when the weather got colder i would need to buy new clothes because my winter ones were very shabby, the realisation that i would have to buy them in a bigger size than the ones i had, which were getting a bit tight brought home to me just how big i had got. I plan to wear the shabby stuff for as long as i…

I dont know about the cinamon but i also have PCOS and i have lost 10 1/2lbs since the start of July so a simillar amount to you. I have decided it doesnt matter how much others loose of how fast, i am finally loosing and thats all that counts and it is slow and steady weight loss which is good. Would be interested to see…

My mum used to top them with a little pizza sauce and then a slice of mozzarellla and then cook them in the oven, like a sort of pizza

Mashed parsnip, when you are boiling it add a couple of garlic cloves to the water and make sure you mash them as well

Since i started eating healthier food we have a wider variety of fruit and vegetables in the house and i have noticed my 2 children (5 and 3) are keen to try them because i am. We have replaced our biscuit tin with dried fruit and nuts as well. We have also taken up walking as a familly activity, we incorporate nature…

Quite simply Wow! You look amazing, what great results

Anything in decent condition will go to the charity shop, but sadly most of my fat clothes are threadbare and falling apart which is why i decided now was the time to loose the weight i couldnt face buying new clothes in my big size! The fit for the bin clothes might be cut up for material scraps for my crafting bag, they…

That explains a few things then. My 17.5 kilo child has recently decided that she wants to be carried on my shoulders all the time when we are out. Never thought of it as extra calorie burning but every little helps! Suddenly the scales have started shifting again though

I log my evening meal in the morning, when i get up and decided what i will cook that evening. Then i just log other meals after i have eaten them. My evening meal really allows me to see how many calories i have to play with for the day so which breakfast and lunch ie hight or low calorie i need to have to fit in around…

I like the danone activia fat free ones. I cant eat most of the low fat / calories yoghurts because they are not suitable for vegetarians but these ones are and they are really tasty.

I have the opposite problem, now i am getting my old body back and getting healthier i would love another baby, but my hubby isnt keen at all. I think you just need to sit down and tell him why you dont want anither baby, you never know your 2 are very young still you might change your mind in a few years time anyway. Good…

Yum that looks really tasty

If you are okay with meat substitutes then this one is full of protein and very filling. I find it makes 4 portions and it works out abour 280 calories per portion serve it with green veg or crusty bread (those calories not included in the 280) http://cauldronfoods.co.uk/recipes/main-courses/sausage-lentil-simmer.cfm I…

Stunning dress, i think wanting to wear that would give me motivation as well. Good luck

Although this receipe is veggie it would work just fine with real sausages. It is very filling and very cheap (i dont use the red wine) and my 2 who are 3 and 5 love it. http://cauldronfoods.co.uk/recipes/main-courses/sausage-lentil-simmer.cfm I do serve it with crusty bread if i am not dieting otherwise it is nice with…
