Does anyone here love toasted sandwiches?
I love toasted sandwiches with tomato and cheese. They are a guilty pleasure of mine, but at 500 calories a pop, I can't have them that often (I would usually have two at a time). For those unfamiliar with toasties, they are two pieces of bread, spread with butter, then cooked in a toastie maker or a frying pan with…

Does anyone here do carb cycling with Chris Powell?
It sounds pretty amazing. Not sure how good it is for learning how to eat healthy though (they say you only have to resist your cravings for one day at a time). Carb Cycling: The Easy Cycle Do you have a hard time going without your favorite foods, but you still want to lose weight? Then the Easy Cycle is for you. In this…

Do you do much cardio now that you've reached your goal weight?
I'm wondering what the future holds for me. I like to eat a lot of food, so I'm wondering if I will still need to do an hour or two of cardio a day once I get to goal, or maybe just do 30 minutes a day, then splurge on the weekends. What is your method? I personally hate cardio. I have thought about getting a treadmill or…

Which one of these sweetners is better/healthier?
I'm not sure if they are both stevia. The one in a box has more ingrediants (Erythritol, insulin, soy polysaccharides, sweetner (organic steviol glycosides), natural flavour). I'm not really worried about the amount of calories, as they are miniscule, but am more concerned about their affect on my body, whether they will…

What determines if someone is fit or not?
For example, I could probably do a full day of walking (like a hike or something), but wouldn't manage to run for more than thirty seconds at a time. How do you know when your ''there'' and ''fit''? I guess its something I won't need to worry about for a while.

Has the amount of food you can eat changed?
I have only lost a little bit of weight (16 kilos), and I don't think my stomach has shrunk. I used to be able to eat a whole block of chocolate, a thing of dip, a family bag of chips, a family bag of popcorn etc, and right after my main meal and STILL be hungry. On other occassions I could eat 2 medium pizzas (one with…

How do you find old threads that you have posted in, that belong to other users, or find out if other people have replied to you, in threads that belong to other people? 3. Under ''all…

Maintaining muscle from strength training
If you do strength training three times a week, and lose 2 pounds a week, will some of that weight still come from muscle? do you need to do some strength training everyday to avoid losing muscle? I know it's not recommended to do it everyday, but I was just wondering.

What time of day do you weigh in to consider you have reached your goal weight?
If your goal weight was 70 kilos, would you want it to be 70 kilos first thing in the morning, after you've been to the toliet but before you've eaten, or half way through the day. I get weighed at the gym by my trainer about half way through the day, but I would rather weigh myself at home, in the morning. If I go by his…

Do you have any advice for weigh day?
My trainer at the gym weighs me once a week. I was wondering if you have any tips for the day before, or the day on how to achieve the most accurate weight, for example avoiding sodium or doing a little bit of extra exercise etc. Is there anything like that?

Has anyone here got to a healthy weight with Bipolar/Epilepsy medications or something similar?
I'm on medications that increase appetite and cause excessive weight gain. I'm wondering if anyone has managed to get on top of this, I haven't found much on google or youtube- the one skinny girl with Bipolar that I came across doesn't take medications. I read about one other person who managed to stay in shape and she…

Why does Pepsi Next and Coke Lite have so many calories in it?
It's sweetened with Stevia, an artificial sweetener, so shouldn't it have a similar amount of calories to Pepsi Max or Diet Coke?

Do people really have hobbies these days?
On dating sites, and CVs, I don't really know what to put for hobbies. I am interested in lots of different things, and there are different things I would like to try, skills I would like to pick up, but there isn't much I'm really good at. It seems like I just hang out on the internet or watch tv. 1) do you think most…

Do you ever feel like you have to be the lowest weight possible?
I feel like I can't be beautiful unless I am the smallest size possible, like no one will want to date me, I won't enjoy shopping unless I am the smallest size, I will always find fault with my body etc. How did you get past that mindset?

Did you find it hard to choose a goal weight?
Since I was a kid, I have been bullied for my size. If you look at my profile, you will see I was a normal size, and healthy, but I always felt like I was bigger than the other kids. I was always on the heavy side of the healthy weight range and usually had a permanent tire around my midsection. After that, I was taller…
