Dealing with depression & eating
I joined MFP in January 2011 and lost 2 stone (around 28 lbs) over a period of around 18 months which was an amazing achievement for me. I have since gained that weight back on, first started by hitting a plateau and finding it difficult to deal with that. So, now I am back at my old weight, probably slightly heavier now.…

Zumba or Biggest Loser Game for Wii???
I can't decide whether to get the Zumba game for the Wii when it's released here in the UK next month, or get the Biggest Loser game for the Wii which I think is already out. It would be good to hear opinions from anyone on here who have the games and I can see what one would suit me more. I thought the Zumba game would be…

Advice for Shoulder/Back Pain
I am looking for some advice about shoulder/back pain I have been experiencing the past few days. I woke up on Thursday 7am feeling perfectly fine, but it wasn't until about 8.30am when I was doing my hair and all of a sudden this pain appeared around my right shoulder blade. It just appeared from nowhere. It wasn't as if…

Would you recommend doing a detox or has anyone done a detox and had success from it and survived to tell the tale?!

HRM Recommendations
Just looking at HRMs.. a couple of my MFP friends recommended the Polar FT7 one - the cheapest I can find is on Amazon about £67.99 (price depends on colour) - I find it a bit pricey but can those who have this one please tell me how good it is before I jump in and buy one! Or can anyone recommend one that is similar and…

Snack ideas
I'm looking for suggestions of snacks that I can have. I've been using MFP since the start of 2011 and I've managed to cut down on how much snacking I do (I am bad at picking at everything!) and since reducing what I eat my appetite isn't as big as it used to. Ladies, you will know that at your time of the month you always…

Dried Fruit or Fresh Fruit?
I have been on MFP for almost 2 weeks now and I still seem to be going over my limit of sugar each day. I've been eating fruit and cutting down the naughty stuff, so I was wondering if there is a lot of sugar in fruit??? If so, do you think having dried fruit is better for you? I know fresh fruit has natural sugar so it is…

Express Chicken Fajita Salad
I came across this recipe in the recent Slimming World magazine and I made it for my evening meal tonight. I made it for around 420 calories per person and it was absolutely delicious! :smile: I did this without the dressing and instead used a healthy option soured cream as I had some in the fridge. I found this recipe…

Drinking Water
I was wondering would my water intake also include drinking diluting juice or flavoured water (both sugar free of course!)? I manage to drink 2x 500ml bottles of plain still water at work, but would like more variety throughout the day. I drink "zero" or "sugar free" fizzy drinks now and again. I'm really bad at going…

Vitamins Query
Should I still take multivitamins while doing this and trying to eat better? My Vitamin A & C intake are still particularly high, so I cut them out 2-3 days ago. I stopped taking my Cod Liver Oil capsules too, which I take for my creaky knees and thought I could take them when needed. Also, tangerines appear to be high in…
