  • KFC hot wings, crisps of any description, and, most of all...wine! Haha.
  • Thanks everyone. It has calmed down a bit now that I've been home for half an hour and showered etc but my ring is still nicely embedded in my giant sausage fingers! I will go and see what my doctor thinks tomorrow though - I have goals! I want to keep running! I should tell you that this also happens when I run on the…
  • Fleetwood Mac - Rumours is the soundtrack to my life! City and Colour Simply Red! My mum says I should have been born 20 years earlier!
  • Great! Yes, this Friday's weight will be the starting point, next Friday will be week one and so on until we hit our target!
  • Thank you all VERY much for the encouragement - I don't know what I would do without my MFP friends - as you can see all my friends are tiny so I rely on you guys to understand what I'm going through with my weight. Your positive comments mean the world to me so thankyou again!
  • Haddock fishcakes? Make sweet potato mash and combine with the cooked haddock to make small cakes and bake in the oven until crispy on the outside. You can season the haddock with lemon juice and garlic and a tiny amount of chilli too and add chopped veggies like red onion and pepper. I sometimes add an egg to bind the…
  • That's a good idea - I have recently moved back home after finishing university and have taken charge of cooking the dinner every night for my family - my mum loves it because she no longer has to worry about cooking after work and I feel completely in control of what I'm eating - just like when I was away at uni. It's so…
  • ok, sorry - Before and after
  • Salt and vinegar rice cakes! They're amazing and good for times when you just want something to pick at - watching films, long journeys etc. The wholemeal ones are only 28 calories each!
  • I feel like that all the time. I am at university and all the girls in my group of friends are skinny and gorgeous - I'm the funny one. To cap it all they all have boyfriends and I have about 10 close male friends - because I have a great personality but am not seen as attractive. This is what motivates me to get the extra…
  • Apparently it is listed as an elliptical trainer. I find that I burn around 600 calories an hour on the cross trainer but that is obviously dependant on my height and weight and will be different for you. Hope this helps!xx
  • Not too much at all!! Haha congratulations! Thats great that you feel confident about your *kitten*!! I think because it is such a gradual process you have to pay attention to the little things which let you know you've made progress because otherwise it can seem like such a long wait for the big results.
  • I feel exactly the same! In fact my boobs are the only place where I can definitely see that the weight is coming off. Be encouraged though - your hard work is paying off and you are still in proportion - you have those curves that a lot of women would kill for! I have been using a super heavy duty sports harness type…
  • I'm Chloe, 22, about to graduate from university with a BA in English and American literature. Hoping to work in publishing in London and want to leave the old, child me and the persistent freshman 15 (which is now closer to 30) behind. I really want to get some control and focus into my lifestyle as I head into the…
  • Our scales are broken! I'm going to get weighed at the gym on Monday but I have lost another inch off my waist so I'm pleased!
  • If any of us possessed the innate willpower to always eat the right things and always do enough exercise then none of us would have found ourselves in the position where we needed to lose weight! You are completely normal and by no means alone. It has occurred to me since I started to watch what I eat that I eat for 1000…
  • KFC - Now I know that makes me a massive cliché but I literally CANNOT walk past one without buying something. I just love it SO much. And I can have it, in theory, but only if I walk about 15 miles beforehand!
  • Hi everyone, I'm from Sheffield but I'm currently in my final term at uni in Manchester. I'm trying to shift the 2 stone or so that I've gradually put on since I started drinking when I was 17. I'm finding having people to talk to and logging my calories extremely helpful and so far I've lost 4 pounds, although that weigh…
  • I'm from Sheffield but at the moment I'm at uni in Manchester.xx
  • I'm in! I'm 22 and 206, was 210 3 weeks ago. Hoping to reach my pre - university weight of 182
  • I'm in! I'm 206 at the moment, hoping to lose 24 pounds.
  • Haha - I looked up Tom and the answer to your question is about 2 days. Maybe this is why I'm having difficulty losing the pounds!
  • I am eating some of my exercise calories but not always all of them, my appetite has begun to adjust to the plan so now I find that I'm alright with just the 1400. Can I ask what TOM is please? I will definitely try cutting down on sodium. Also, I have started drinking at least 2 litres of water per day - will this help if…
