Just want to give up :(
Completely sick of doing this stupid thing now. I can't even really call it a diet cause it isn't one. I was doing so well and i managed to lose 50lb but now i'm just lagging. I can't be bothered to keep logging stuff, or i'm going WAY over my calories everyday and just blagging it off. It doesn't help that eating ANYTHING…

Not quite there yet but almost at the half way point :)
So it's that lovely time of year again. Presents, chocolate, food, chocolate, booze and did i mention chocolate? probably. Either way it's that lovely time of year where we try and fail miserably to keep to calories and exercise regimes and they see that lovely Christmas dinner and say 'one day won't hurt' but it normally…

Free from foods
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about low calorie free from foods? I love brown bread, and i used to have gluten free brown rolls but they were 400 cals a roll! and once i'd put some meat or cheese in them they were pushing 500-600 plus in calories. And that was for ONE roll. It was just insane! I managed to find a…

Exercise to help with pain?
Just wondering what people would suggest are good exercises for people in constant pain? Obviously being in constant pain is evil! and means that my motivation to exercise is limited because it hurts to exercise and it hurts to not exercise. So it's a bit of a catch 22. I try and walk as much as possible on my crutches, i…
