The Marine Diet
Someone sent me this link today and said they were starting it with a group of their friends.. Take a look, this is crazy right?!? I mean I know I am really overweight but surely nobody can exist on this amount of food for 2 weeks? Don't get me wrong, when she said "you could lose 20lbs in 2 weeks" I did for a split second…

Gutted :(
Yesterday after a break away from MFP (not intentional, have just not been taking care of myself for a couple of months really - never mind the years before that) I hopped on to the scale yesterday. When I came away from MFP in feb I was 242lbs. Yesterday I read it as 241lbs... ok so I was still obese BUT I felt quite…

Healthy Family Meals?
Ok so here it is. I would NEVER make my kids or my husband diet - I don't do the D word. However, my husband is not happy with his weight and wants to shed 50lbs and I need to shift 100lbs long term and I feel like I need to experiment a little with food since to get to this point I have not been very healthy (duh) and as…

How long?

True or not?
I saw this quote from Paul McKenna doing the rounds on facebook.. "Exercise is not necessarily going to a gym and pumping iron...you might be interested to know that American researchers have found that the difference between a thin person and someone who is overweight is 20,000 steps which is a fifteen minute walk." So!…

I was dreading the first food shop. I don't feed my family junk BUT tend to not be very adventurous either. We went food shopping and I noticed that my trolley looked seriously colourful with all the different veggies and fruits. Literally 1 of very few times I have ever smiled in a supermarket lol I managed to buy NO…

9 minutes?!!?
that was all I could manage of 30 day shred. This is day one and I haven't exercised in YEARS but still. I couldn't even get down onto my mat to do girly push ups because it hurt my knees so much I nearly cried. I got a cushion and bit through it but after 9 minutes I thought I was going to throw up when did jumping…

Do you take anything to supress your appetite?
I am starting with my first log of my weight etc today and although I am pretty sure that I am going to try to use water to stop me snacking I wondered whether you guys know of any natural appetite suppressants? <--- not even sure if they exist.

Lunch tomorrow. 2 questions..
I am really bad at eating during the day. I am rushed in the morning so I put it off and then end up eating junk. With this in mind I have bought porridge/oatmeal to have with the children in the morning and have decided to make lunch the night before so I have no excuses!! SO. For tomorrow I have mixed beans with…
