Am I too big for a bikini?
I'm going on my first beach vacation in almost 7 years next week. I didn't know what to do by way of a swimsuit so I bought a bikini and an all-in-one. Would be nice to not feel like a whale when I'm living it up in the sun but I'm really not convinced. I told myself that I would be super slim and toned by the time my…

What is healthier??
I'm going out for lunch today with work colleagues to a pub that specializes in pies. I know there are probably a lot of calories in a pot pie, would it be better to have scampi and chips or is that just as bad? Here is the menu: www.victorianpub.co.uk Please let me know what you think would be best?

Does anyone else find that carbs make them grumpy?
I've recently noticed a recurring pattern, whenever I eat a big bowl of pasta or rice, I feel bloated, tired and grumpy afterwards. Me and my SO usually eat pasta every Monday eve and it just drags my mood down after I've eaten it. Does anyone else find this? The pasta that we eat isn't wholewheat - maybe that has…

Personal problem - advice needed
As the people I meet on here are such supportive individuals :smile: I wonder if you could offer some advice on a problem... My best friend (since childhood) has split up with her long term boyfriend (another childhood friend) and is now dating a guy who is very controlling and arrogant. I did my best to be supportive but…

Motivation :)
Some motivational words to all my MFP friends - do not give up! This isn't just about losing pounds or inches (not for me anyway), it's about a healthy lifestyle change. And change doesn't happen overnight. There will be days where you want to hide away in a bucket of fried chicken - and sometimes you do just that. Learn…

I need some help with a book I'm writing....
Part of the story involves the protagonist and her husband. He's an a**hole and can at times be emotionally abusive (never physical!) My main character is a strong woman who tolerates her husbands bad behaviour but I'm struggling to think why. I need to make it clear what her motivation is for staying with someone who is a…

Help me get motivated!
I hate exercise. There, I said it. Pretty blasphemous as far as this site is concerned - everywhere I look people rave about how much they love it. And don't get me wrong I envy them. I wish I could love exercise! I love the thought of it - feeling energized and being boosted into a better mood, watching the fat melt away…

Which language should I learn?
Where I work (University of Oxford) staff and students can take part in part-time language courses (evening classes). I love languages. I tend to be really good at picking them up. I'm willing to put in lots of effort to study and practice. I like to travel. I really like finding out all sorts of crazy things about a new…

Body Circuits and Interval Training
Here are some little exercise routines for people who prefer not to go to the gym! Body Circuits (taken from NerdFitness): This is a basic body weight circuit. You do each exercise in succession and once you've finished all the exercises, do the circuit again. I'm aiming for 3 circuits. Start by WARMING UP. (5 mins of…

Opposite of an NSV...a non NSV?
A colleague of my mums told her he thought I'd "gained some weight". I've lost a stone since he last saw me. Definite low point. :(

Healthy dinner options!
I'm always an angel at work and then a pig at home :( Looking through my food diary made me realize that I always go for a high calorie dinner in the evening so I need some ideas for good old healthy dinners - (preferably with chicken :wink:) I've had a look online but I know a lot of you have some family recipes stored…

PLEASE TELL ME I'VE GOT THIS RIGHT! :/
I think I've figured it out. I've been eating a low calorie diet and doing cardio for a few months and I've lost 10lbs but now my weight loss has completely stalled. I can't just carry on eating less and exercising more or my body will completely shut down. So I need my metabolism to work faster. And the only way to speed…

Do you think there is a difference??
Someone mentioned to me that my face looked a lot different since losing almost 12lbs. Can you see the difference?

GREAT SOLUTION TO DRINKING ENOUGH WATER
If you have a smart phone, you can download a free app called Carbodroid! You set how much water you want to drink by the end of the day and at whichever interval you choose, it will remind you to drink some water! When you do, the little droid fills up with water - very cute :flowerforyou: I've found it loads of help and…

Really need some support :'(
I've been so bad with my diet and exercise over the last week. I didn't lose any weight. Fair enough I didn't put any on, but I'm upset about how I've slowed my progress down. Someone give me some motivation to get back on track :( Lots of stress happening at work at the moment and I've just moved house - so my eating…
