Hello everyone, Thank you all for your efforts to add Swiss Foods to the Database. I wondered where there were all coming from when I was searching for things to put in my diary :) I'm a re-new MFP user, who needs to get back in control of her weight. I my love of cooking and eating take over for a little while.

Good Morning, I've used MFP on and off for a couple of years but this year has been the worst of my life and I let everything slip, and also gained a few more kilos !! Anyway, my doctors have been 'watching' my TSH levels for a while and I started on Levo. Then I lost faith in my doctor here in Switzerland and changed to a…

http://www.hk-doctor.com/tool/html/BMI_Calculator.htm from a doctor search / health website in HK

are you looking at asian weight charts or US/western ones ?? I know when I lived in Hong Kong and went to the doctor they had 2 different charts for calculating BMI .... All the Asian girls I ever met were TINY. I'm 5' 3" and was about 160 pounds when we were there and I felt like and elephant. I was regularly stopped from…

I do this too, I cook 2 big pans of something - this week a beef and veggies stew and one chickpea curry and then portion them out, freeze some and alternate days with the others, every morning I have scrambled or poached eggs with either salmon or bacon, lunch tends to be a mixed salad with chicken breast, lentils or…

If you drive why not be the designated driver and ensure your friends get home safely and then you will be the only on to actually 'remember' what happened on the nights out !!

We lived in the US for nearly 2 years and I was surprised at how much sweeter a lot of processed foods were. Tomato sauce was esp sweet and so I started to make my own and stopped eating anything with proceessed tomato sauce, pizza etc. I also made my own bread because again thats was sweeter than we are used to. I didn't…

Quite possibly, I'm a never say never girl....:) 150 is the weight I was when I got married 8 years ago and I was around that weight for a while, I was strong and healthy. did lots of cardio, lifted a little weight did Pilates and played a lot of golf....Plus I've always had big boobs so I looked in proportion.... but hey…

Really ?? I have only been using MFP 'properly' for about 2 weeks and have about 17 friends but all the people I have come across have been very pleasant and supportive. Some of the 'chat' threads are a little strange and I have seen some people go off on little rants about what I consider trivial matters (but as there…

Good morning everyone, Hows everyone doing? I'm having a great start and I wanted to say how much I'm enjoying the site. I've lost more that I think I should of 3.6 kg in just over 2 weeks but as I'm eating enough food everyday, I'm not hungry, I think I'm eating a balanced range of things, have upped my exercise and have…

I agree .... I was once in a relationship where I was constantly being put down and always being told I was lucky he was with me etc etc It obviously didn't start like this but slowly over time. It was all about his insecurity and control..... well it worked for 2 years until a friend of a friend asked me at a party " what…

The winters are a great time to make big pans of stews with loads of veggies and home made soups with hardly any fat / calories and then you can have scrummy low cal meals to compensate for the others....... or just stop eating when you are not hungry anymore and have a large glass of water between alcoholic drinks (…

That was my first .... then second thought...... maybe lock the kitchen door though ???

I'm 42 and don't have any kids...I don't have enough patience and never really liked them that much...... however all the kids in the family think I'm the coolest grown up and love to spend time with me. I download music and listen to it really loud, know who all the rappers are, go to gigs, drink wine at lunchtime, swear…

I WOULD have it set to 21 but at the moment they are all off and we are benefiting from our downstairs neighbors heat which means if I don't keep the windows open I'm at 26 degrees... which considering its only 8 degrees outside is a bit too high !!! Sorry I'm European I can't do 'big numbers'

I haven't got one yet but we are getting induction for our new build. I have seen them in use and they are the 2nd best to gas (which I can't have ) IMO.

Thank you :) am always looking for new recipes.

Thanks for that... TBH I stopped reading when the article started to quote scientific research :( I have read lots of things about Clean Eating and I'm not following the diet to letter. But for me most of the basic eating ideals just made sense.... eat food close to its natural state as much as possible, lean protein, no…

I have hereditary cholesterol problems too and have been on medication since I was 28 (I'm 42 now).... so I need to be careful about my weight. Also my family have a tendency to develop diabetes in later life so I'm just trying to be aware and make good choices now. I'm eating the pineapple as a sugar craving soother !!…
