If the shoe fits...
So an awkward side effect of weight loss is that my feet have shrunk. I have a wonderful shoe collection; we're very close and I can tell my shoes are as unhappy as I am that they just aren't compatible with my feet anymore. Anyone else had this? Very expensive to replace the whole collection... this is YEARS worth.... I…

Smokin!!!!
No, not Smokin' hot :grumble: I have a Graduate working for me on a project. We have about 30 of them at the moment, and they are all delightful, hardworking and a pleasure to deal with. BUT... My current graduate does a lot of close work with me - ie sitting at my desk reporting on stuff we look at on my screens... close…

Suggestions welcome... Why do i want potato?
On the 1st of Jan the Noro Virus hit, and 7 days later I still have little interest in food. I have been trying bananas and cauliflower etc, bland foods and they seem ok. However what I am jonesing for is some potato. Dauphinoise, or wedges, or mash, or any potato-based derivative. I am salivating at the prospect which is…

Tape measure NSV!
In your face Tape Measure! For the first time this morning, it fit right around my hips withut having to do the old double-up. Get in there! :tongue: It has been driving me mad losing 200 grams a week (PCOS is a b1tch!) but at least there is some movement on the tape measure :laugh:

Dear Mr Reebok, Nike and Adidas
I visited you all today, as well as Mr Donnay, Mr Karrimor and a host of more generic sports stores to buy support tops, sports bras and running bottoms. It was a very disappointing day. I just wanted to mention that people who workout are not all under size 14. We curvier lasses have endurance, we have sass, and we can…

How many calories in that?!?!?
I just had to share my most awesome breakfast. Will obviously have to have something else as well (I like my breakfasts to be a bit higher in calories...) BUT what an awesome filler for so few calories!!! I am really satisfied right now! Calories Tesco Light Choices Uk - Dutch Crispbread, 2 crispbread 58 Calories Marks and…

What's your Pick Me Up?
So I've been under the weather for about 3 weeks now. Last night after dinner I realised I was only at 800-odd calories (would NEVER happen if I felt ok :laugh: ) so decided to indulge in my weakness / comfort food. Toast with butter and crumbly mature and bitey cheddar. Oh yes! Cheese has been forbidden for so long and…

Advice required from Medically trained MFP'ers
OK so I have had the flu, apparently it's a coincidence that it hit me a couple of days after my flu shot (!). It developed pretty quickly into a nasty chest infection that has knocked my socks off... I have 5 days of antibiotics left but am going stir-crazy. I'm looking for some recommendations for ways to burn calories…

Ground Ear Anyone?
So I had a bit of a "moment" having just tried to add "green tea" to my snacks just now. MFP couldn't find whatever I had (mis)typed, but suggested I may have meant Ground Ear... Really? Delicous! :laugh:

Reverse Crunches and Arnold Chiari?
So I'm doing the 30 Day Shred and finding that standard crunches are fine, but when I do reverse crunches, I get an almighty head pain that feels like an icepick to the back of the head... Now being an Arnold Chiari victim (!) I can relate well enough to the pain, but are there any other sufferers out there who are…

UK MFP'ers - get to Asda!
I don't do weight watchers and don't like their snack type foods (often the real thing is just as few calories) but I bought their meals at Asda this week and they are amazing, and only £1 each!!! I filled my freezer! The meals average about 250-300 calories and they have about 10 different varieties. They are likely only…

Small (but embarrassing) NSV
Part 1: My favourite knickers... fell down while I was in public. I know it doesn't seem like a victory, but they were my safety knickers (you ladies know what I'm talking about) - the pair that suck in a bit of flab and smooth the bum and give you that little bit of extra confidence... Part 2: A new t-shirt I have worn…

Goals - so important!
I've seen a lot of people list their goals in their Signature and I want to say a big thank-you. Seeing how many of you have ticked off each stage of your journey has been inspirational. I sat down with my husband this morning and we set some incentives for each goal weight. I have to say it feels like my Christmas list!…

OH GIVE ME STRENGTH!!!
My meetings at work are catered and they do these amazing soft white chocolate cookies that I've managed to avoid for 2 weeks now... Today I have back-to back meetings from 9 until 2:30, and those damned biscuits will be there, on the table, right in front of me. I can smell them right now!! AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!! This…

New member from the UK
Hi everyone, I'm 36 years old and have been using MFP for 2 weeks this coming Wednesday. I've lost 2.2kg already... unfortunately couldn't figure out how to adjust my "guess" in my profile so now will just have to wait until it equalizes! I'm keen to meet any PCOS sufferers out there - I think we've got some especially big…
