Damn right, when you're 80 you will just be glad you managed to get to 80! Life is short, think how quickly time actually goes and wonder if it's worth second guessing everything you do or want to do! If we all thought about everything constantly we would never get no where. If your diet is otherwise healthy, and you're…

To make pizza dough, you just need, strong plain flour 500g, 7g yeast, 250ml of water, a teaspoon of salt and a pinch of sugar! Just mix the flour yeast salt and sugar together in a bowl, make a little well in the middle and slowly pour the water in (sometimes you don't need it all) and just knead it with your hands till…

Your profile picture is stunning. You are clearly a gorgeous lady and I think you need to realise that. Sometimes it's just about making the best of what you've got rather than trying to be something you're not. No one is perfect, not even celebs. A quick google and I bet you'll find a ton of images of them at home, no…

Stuff the house work for a couple days/weeks Hubby can have baby when he gets home Why don't you eat when you are preparing your other childrens lunches/snacks/dinners/breakfast? Even if you eat it standing whilst you run around the kitchen? But you could take a couple minutes to have breakfast, even just toast with the…

Are you in the UK? I go to icelands occasionally and pick up there bags of diced chicken. It's boneless & skinless and already cut up. It's actually frozen you just shove some in the fridge (or the packet) overnight and it's ready for snacking/lunch/cooking the next day. I usually defrost about 100/150g every day or 2…

There will be tons, I'm sure you'll get lots of options on replies. I do find that lots of noodles and pasta ect will give you lots of cals. Though they can be good for you in moderation. Have you thought of making your own pasta, bread, chicken nuggets, soups ect? You're more in charge, so you'll watching how much and…

That's fantastic!! Well done

Me judgemental? Really? Compared to what you have wrote. You're clearly looking to stir up some drama my sweet! Maybe it didn't miss you? Maybe there is still time? Maybe they have other things going on in there life that you do not have in yours? Addictions don't come down to how you was bought up and raised. Though…

Oohhie I love my carbs. Looks like you've had quite the struggle but was always active, that's interesting! Once again thanks for all the replies!! & too clear this up, I'm totally not using my son as an excuse, of course we go out walking and stuff together I'm saying it's not a valid form of exercise for me being of the…

pkw - thank you! I shall take a look! & No I don't own one, maybe I should invest in one or something similar :-)

Thank you for all the replies I'm really enjoying reading them. & @weighing in - I wish!! My partner is 100% supportive and is very good about everything and my decisions, but he works for 12 hours a day! 7-7 with traveling aswell he's gone 6-8! So not really much time for him to be able to do anything there! He works…

Dear 16 year old me..!! You have no idea what is about to come. You've been tough so far, so continue on. Keep your faith and never let go. It'll guide you through. Pain is only temporary, however long you allow it to be. The dream of leaving your home town is not far away. But you're gonna come back to what you know best.…

Because some people just can't. It's a battle. It's no different to any other addiction. Some people will struggle with it forever, just like other eating disorders, some believe there really are quick fixes, some people have just settled, some people are happy fat, some people don't know how, some people are not clued up,…

Thanks for all the replies, brilliant stuff! I can't really go out walking (as exercise) my toddler doesn't start preschool untill september so we are together 24/7 and whilst I do have a pram for him we try not use it as much as possible as he is far too big for it. But he's not a fast walker at all. We just tend to…

I love prawns but, find from take aways they can be sometimes quite rubbery in texture which makes me wanna heave, rank! Love pork loads so may have to take a look at the pork dishes too!

Iceland do a big bag of frozen diced chicken for £5 and i know it's a big chunk from your budget but I also feed 3 people and I always get one of those bags on the occasion I go there it does go far :-) Also maybe you could spend £3 a week on bags of vegetables, brussel sprouts sweetcorn parsnips 1 week, then the next week…

thanks for the replies my cooker at the moment isn't working so i can't fry them up! i do have a halogen oven though so baking them is an option which sounds nice, microwave also is. those are some nice ideas i will give one of them a shot though i'm not sure which one yet!! eggplant pizza sounds different, and i love…

Good luck!!

Strawberries are almost gone anyway..!! Ha, they are super sweet and wasted mixed with other flavours :) Would apples turn bad quicker in a fruit salad?

But think what you've already lost!! It's fantastic. Don't concentrate on how far you've got to go, just how far you've come. Keep it up :)

Thank you for the replies I actually love soup and like making it so don't know why that didn't even cross my mind! I suppose I'm looking at some very light recipes what with summer being round the corner (well it better be!!) So salads, jacket potatoes, fruit salad ect and something nice & light with the vegetables

Hiya everyone, thanks for all the replies I'm a beginner really, I haven't done any real exercise in months - just walking! I would prefer DVD's to something online because I live in a 1st floor flat with laminate flooring + I'm sure me jumping around with no sound proofing wouldn't go down well. So I can do it in a…

Haha, ill remember that just incase he or anyone else is stupid enough to do it again!

My son isn't so little now, so I don't have the time too, when he was younger I would do it during his afternoon nap, now I just try get the odd walk in & do alot of chasing him around! But as for a routine I guess I could when he was eating lunch? Or late at night time! Any of that work for you?

If it was anyone else I would of be fuming, but luckily I know him very well & he always does this, alot! (Not with me I'm Happy to say!) His brain doesn't register what his mouth is about to say!

Your starting to look like other people do now! Err yeah I know I was heavy but really, a different kind of human?! He meant It well, I just laughed when everyone else's jaws dropped open. First time he had seen me in a dress in years. He still apologises for it now!

Thanks!! Requests sent to you all :-)

I'd say thats ok, besides if it's all you can manage! Theres plenty of people out there who have lost a ton of weight not exercising at all, although it'll tone you up in the long run so something is better than nothing. I'm sure you'll do just fine. And you'll be adding in loads of running after the kiddos soon too! :)

I don't have a cool box unfortunatly. I'm pretty minimal with my kitchen stuff. I hate sweet potato, but tuna is good! And soup, didn't think of that one

Jesus, I can actually say I wasn't expecting that. But it does make sense, & this isn't water weight unfortunatly, i've eaten way too much and been stupid with what i've been eating. Could call it a awful few weeks. But I'm back from it and lucky it was only 2lb really. I will log it now! Thanks for all the replies &…
