Good girl. You are right to be scared! :wink: That's what happened to me. Now, no matter how starving I am, I can't bring myself to go to McDonalds, BK etc. Could also be because i found an what looked like an eyelash (not human) in my hamburger. :huh: Niiiiice

I have not touched fast food since I found out about the crap that goes into a McDonald's/Burger King/KFC etc hamburgers, chicken, chicken nuggets etc, and how they make their chips and milkshakes. That was over 5 years ago. I used to love fast food! I cannot get my head around why parents would feed their kids fast food…

Bathroom pics are so cool! Love 'em. You are obviously a lean person. I reckon with diet and exercise you will lose the excess in no time. You probably already know this. but cut out carbs after 6pm for faster weight-loss results on the lower stomach. Good luck!

Aha.. thank you! That's knocked a bit of sense into me already :)

LMAO :bigsmile: Love it!! Best post I've read so far! I have a feeling it's not as good as a sinker - something to do with not having enough fibre in your diet? But I'm not totally sure!

Cool! The support on here is second to none. I don't think I'd be so motivated if it wasn't for MFP :)

I went out for Sunday lunch yesterday with my family and was also worried as there was no menu online and no calorie info on the menu. The solution? I went to Waitrose in the morning, bought my lunch and brought it with me to the pub! I won't take a chance with guessing when I'm in the swing of a diet. If I don't know how…

In 2008 I lost 3 and a half stone (50lbs) on the Rosemary Conley low-GI diet. After the initial 1000 calories a day 'kick-start' for 2-weeks', you have to increase to 1500 cals a day. I was going to the gym 4 times (sometimes 5 times) a week and I was losing a consistent and sensible 2lbs a week. My gym routine consisted…

Thank you sweetie! :flowerforyou:

So glad someone has raised this. There must be an easier way of seeing new updates. Facebook has a symbol in the top left corner that turns red when you have a new notification .Would be great if MFP also had something like this.

Thanks all for your fantastic advice so far! You have all helped to focus my mind which, I have found out since joining MFP, is the key to my weight-loss success. I will be combining all your tips. stephski07, you are so right about the GREASY taste of hotel sausages! UGH!! That has actually put me off now, and before I…

Thanks to all for your helpful feedback so far. I'm reluctant to get into the habit of eating too few calories one day and then eating loads the day after to make up the deficit. I don't think that would be great for the body. On the odd occasion that I go over my calorie consumption, say by going out for dinner, family…

Some say you can, some say you can't. I know that you can't stagger too many calories for too long but I'd like to know what you can do.

Hello and welcome! You sound motivated - you have reasons for losing weight and reasons why you don't want to remain as you are. This is such a supportive place and great for extra motivation. Good luck :)

My view is that unless you have been put on to a supervised diet by a dr you should avoid undertaking a diet that you won't be able to maintain for life. Healthy but sensible eating and exercise is the key :smile:

It's a difficult one because you sound so excited about the Cambridge diet and you're getting results, however, I would also advise you to be a bit careful as I know a few people who have tried it and were also very ill as a result. This was quite a few years ago so maybe it has been tweaked since, so you might be…

Being told I was fat by a friend of the family. Unpleasant at the time but thank god they told me. It was a wake-up call and spurred me into action!

This is really helpful. Thank you. I will look into your suggestions. Sounds like there are a lot of alternatives to try. Thanks again!

:laugh: Nice! Oh yes, I forgot about gluten-free bread. Come to think of it, there are loads of specialist bakeries in London that stock a number of different varieties of gluten-free bread. Thanks for jogging my memory!

it would be good to see your food diary. Have you thought of making it public?

Congratulations!! Wonderful news! I look forward to reading the feedback you get from your post.

I spent Christmas in Melbourne and New Year in Sydney and fell in love with Australia!! Do I count? Can I join your Oz gang?? :flowerforyou:

i also believe in the everything in moderation approach. However.. If you are looking to lose weight then I swear by the low-GI diet. Not only is it extremely easy and non-faddy (no counting points/red-green day etc) but it's probably the healthiest diet you can do. It balances blood-sugar levels and because low-GI food is…

Wow! You only have 3lbs to go! Go for it! The finishing line is so close now. You can do it. Amazing that you have achieved so much in such a short time. You should be so proud. Go on, dig deep. You WILL do it :smile:

I am SO impressed! Well done Dave! You look like a different man. How do you feel since you have lost so much weight? In what ways has your life changed?

Many thanks to all for the feedback so far. Think I'll save my money and give them a miss! I was curious because MFP advertises them on this site.

Ha :ohwell:

Public. I may unknowingly be eating food that hinders my weight-loss so I like it when I receive feedback that helps me improve my food choices.

Thanks. Really helpful. I am going to change my sugar settings right now.

Yes please! I would love some ideas for meal plans. Have friend requested you :)
