Polystyrene! The sound of it squeaking when you open packaging just sets my teeth on edge :/

I'm low carbing and fully committed to having pizza toppings without the crust now - don't even miss the dough or the bloated feeling it gives me!

Love this!

Its has the desired effect that both of these also strive for! Don't be so mean! :)

Thanks both! I don't mind friends from the USA either as I find their enthusiasm intoxicating :) I hope to introduce more carbs when I start working out so added you both! Thanks for replying :)

I bought one to use while I was doing cardio lol. Problem is it won't go around my waist! Which seems ironic. Oh well one day :)

Hiya, I'm a restarter too but I'm allowing myself greek yoghurt, berries and nuts as i feel it will help me stick to it. These are all OWL foods anyway and they do say you can start on OWL. Well done on your marathons! Amazing! Just goes to show that Gary Taubes book "Why We Get Fat" is so true, he talks alot about cases…

What she said.......... :laugh:

Huge achievement - well done!! Can wait to be in the 100s myself!

I remember that one, the "Chemical Reaction Diet" I think i was about 14 when my mum put me on it but i didnt like 3/4 of the foods on it (only liked the hotdogs and icecream) so yeh lost weight but didn't last long!!

I've been going round the cal counting, gym going merry go round for years and each time binge eating put me back on a downward spiral. Low carb, moderate protein, high fat eating has given me control over my weight and diet for the first time. As someone said before this diet is used widely for conditions such as epilepsy…

Losing water weight is a good thing if it was excess to begin with. I've just started keto diet again and lost 10lbs in the first week and I know it's nearly all water but I feel so much less bloated I am fitting my clothes better, and that's just the first week, Plus it really does stop me craving so much - i'm a terrible…

But it does teach you to look at food as fuel and not comfort or a hobby. That was an invaluable lesson for me and I'm sure many others who have learned not to use food as a crutch by going "cold turkey". Once you stop your bad eating habits for as long as it takes you to lose the extra weight, by the time the weight is…

Oh and PS I just reset my weight ticker so ignore the 0lb lost - i realise that affects my credibility LOL! :)

I lost nearly two stone and then decided I wanted to hit the gym hard and so started eating healthy which soon led to me binging again. I am now very low carbing as I feel it's the only time it curbs my binging because ketosis stops me feeling hungry. My energy levels started off low but once in ketosis you feel more…

I recommend it highly. I tend to obsess about food when I'm dieting which is really bad! Having the shakes enables me to just get on with life without thinking about food. Some of them are rubbish though such as slimfast, they are full of sugar and don't fill you up at all. If you are in the UK I highly recommend slim and…

We have exactly the same problem in our house! Not to mention the fact that healthy food is very expensive so when i try to eat healthy and buy good stuff in - the rate which he eats it is just too expensive. Each time i cook up something that should go six ways - I get one portion and he generally eats the rest! Its no…

Crisps, bread, chocolate, pizza, doughnuts, cheese, pasta, wine, vodka........... Those are my best friends and worst enemies right there :(

Best thread ever!!

Basics frozen berry mix from Sainsbury's. So cheap, conveniant and yummy for my tummy every morning. And so sweet I don't miss crappy cereals at all!

Word.

I concur with this hypothesis!

Yes but only with jam and buttercream :bigsmile:

Thanks :) So can you! Maybe it's time to plan a major life event just for the sake of motivation? :o)

I love this thread because I knew where it was going to go before I even got past the title :o)

I have a christmas goal too :) 1kg (2.2lbs) per week! I'm one week in and on target. Feel free to add me :)

I've been going round and round the diet merry go round for years now. Truth is until you really find motivation (being thin or healthy is rarely enough) then you will struggle. It has to be the fear of getting in to a wedding dress or some kind of financial prize for me personally. Currently my friend at work and I are…

I often wonder this too. I know X trainer is better for your joints but I feel fitter for running..?

*enters and then immediately exits* :oP :o)

Will check these out later :)
