Looks like I may have been blocked...
Why, I have no idea, apparently I violated the Community Guidelines somehow, but haven't actually been given any sort of official notice. Seems I can still access the forums for now so I wanted to let you guys know. :( (Mods/staff - not questioning your decision (though it would be nice to know what I did!), just letting…

Fast food vs supplements for exercise recovery
Just popping this here: The journal article abstract: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25811308 The easy to read version: http://www.realclearscience.com/journal_club/2015/04/01/fast_food_works_just_as_well_as_supplements_after_a_workout_109157.html I feel better now about the chupa chup I had to fuel the last bit of a…

A strange thing happened on my walk today...
So I've recently kicked my walks up a notch in terms of length and intensity, and the past week have been doing a 10ish km circuit that involves several kilometres of bush trail. The first few kms are uphill (change in elevation of 250 metres), winding up the side of a valley, then along the top is gently undulating before…

Why recovering/staying recovered is important to me (aka this week's challenge!!)
So I think having reasons why recovery is important to you (beyond the obvious health implications of EDs) can really help with staying focussed at those times when you are struggling. Like things that you want to be able to do with your life that you know won't be possible if you let the ED take over. When that voice is…

There Is No Such Thing As Bad Food
So, I got myself embroiled in a thread with this title over on one of the forums today (closed now, don't look unless you have a LOT of time, that sucker got to over 40 pages!!). Usual story, some innocent newbie posted that they'd heard this thing that, really, you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight so long…

I let my diary show red today :)
Normally I adjust my cal intake in my goals if I'm using some 'banked' calories and going over my usual daily allowance so it still shows green (that's what I did the other night when we went out for dinner), but I decided this is dumb. I know I have the surplus, if MPFs programmers are too lazy to design the platform…

Starvation mode (spoiler alert - it's a myth!!)
Srsly, not a thing (which is not license to keep eating at a crazy deficit, that definitely is damaging). For those who need to increase their calorie intake this is important reading. http://www.aworkoutroutine.com/starvation-mode/

Things I like about myself
Yeah, I'm setting a pesky challenge, because I think this is something pretty much everyone with an ED struggles with. I was going to make it 'things I like about my body' but thought that might be a bit of a tough call for some, so it can be about your body (and that can be as obscure as you like, love your toes? Great!!)…

Totally awesome stuffed veg recipe
Direct cut and paste of the email I sent someone else earlier!! Right, so I'll give you the stuffing recipe and instructions first, it can be used to fill just about any veggie that lends itself to filling! I use it a lot with eggplants because they're in season here right now. It's absolutely amazing with butternut,…

Another newbie (tis the season!)
Hi I'm Yolanda. I joined MFP a week ago, just getting 'round to introducing myself and waving hi :) I'm 42, vegetarian, live in New Zealand (yay summer!), and am aiming to lose 14kg/30lbs. Although I'm new to MFP, I'm not new to weight loss (actually used to be a Weight Watchers leader many years ago!), so I know what I'm…
