I have a secret: I stopped counting
I used to count every single calorie and log it religiously. Unfortunately for me that seemed to be very bad for my mental state of mind and counterproductive. Because I was logging every single thing I ate, food was on my mind all the time. Even though I was aiming for a solid 1600 calories a day, thinking about calories…

Dresses and skirts: thighs sore from rubbing together
Obviously a question for the women: What do you do to keep your thighs from getting all red and sore when they rub together while wearing a dress or skirt? It's starting to get quite painful, but it's way too warm to put on anything else. I just keep putting bodylotion on, but that's only helping so much.

Today's annoyances
Go on. Vent. ---- My annoyance today is that I found out my scale was off. When I recallibrated it, I was suddenly two kilos heavier again. Bit disheartening. Also, I want to go for my morning walk, but it is absolutely pissing down outside and too windy for an umbrella. Looks like it might thunder in a minute as well.

Immigrants: what foods from home do you miss most?
I personally moved from the Netherlands to the UK. The foods I miss the most is the applesauce (British ones taste funny and I can't find the right apples here to make it myself), chocolate sprinkles with butter on bread, snert (pea soup at the thickness of a stew), stewed pears (can't find the right pears), peach…

Lost 10 BMI points :).
Hey, guess what. My BMI has gone from 33,5 (obese) to 23,7. I am now in the healthy range :) . Bit happy with myself and wanted to share. From 107 kg (236 lbs) to now 75 kg (165 lbs) in a couple of years (joined MFP last year at 90 kg). Only 7-10 kg left to go to goal.

Struggle with small talk
I have recently moved back to London to a house full of other people. Thing you need to know about me is that I've always been bullied about my weight and I dealt with it by just retreating to the background, by not saying anything, so hopefully no one would even notice me. Also, the area I come from it is just not a…

Pea or hemp protein?
I am lactose intolerant and am trying to cut back my meat (I used to be a veggie and felt way healthier then. Now eating meat, because I am eating with other people and can't really choose my dinners). I am slightly worried about getting in enough protein, so I had a look at protein powders. I can't have whey, because it…

Migraine food triggers?
I've been to see my doctor about regular migraines and he told me to keep a food diary to see if there are any food triggers. Only he didn't tell me (and I didn't think to ask) how much time there is between eating something and it causing a migraine. Is it within the hour of eating a trigger or within a day or anywhere in…

Basic wardrobe essentials (for women)
I have read quite often on this site that people are asking what basics they should buy new when their old clothes don't fit anymore and/or when they've hit goal. I have found a handy list, so I thought I would share it with you: 2x simple jeans: black and dark blue sleeveless tops: black and white long sleeve tops: black…

"diet plan" from a German health book
Hi :) . I read a German book on getting to your healthiest weight by eating a certain way. It was written by several doctors and dieticians and said you should eat the amount of calories your body would need at your healthiest weight (1850 cals for 67kg for me) and that you should eat the following to get all the vitamins,…

To have a mole removed or not to have a mole removed?
Now that it is summer and I have lost a bit of weight I want to be able to wear dresses. However I have a big mole (about 3 inches diameter) right underneath my knee and I have always been really aware of that. I have never worn shorts or dresses because of it. Now that I am loosing weight, I am starting to consider it,…

Quick, healthy, delicious wok recipes
Seeing as I (and probably many others) rarely have time to cook, I though it would be a good idea to have some quick and healthy wok recipes. This one is actually quicker than a microwave ready meal: For one person: 125gr egg noodles or wholemeal noodles 150gr fresh leaf spinach 1 tsp red chili paste or finely chopped red…

At home light excercise?
Hello. I have been having a bit of trouble with exercise lately. Normally I do speed-walking in the woods (can't run because of knackered joints) and swimming in the river. But lately it has been raining very hard, absolutely pissing down. Seriously, there are floods all over my country. I mainly want to focus on light…
