Celebrity Crush!
I think it's about time we had a thread filled with lots and lots of eye candy, yes? (I mean, APART from all you members of MBF of course) ;) So share your male/female celebrity crush (now or in the past...for example Leo Dicaprio in Titanic - omgyespls. but in Django - hmmm, not so much) And feel free to post a picture,…

cant seem to lose weight/unsure if eating enough
Hi all! Im a 20 year old female and weigh 60/61kg at a height of 169cm. I want to get down to 57kg so have adjusted my food choices (mainly less sugar and carbs - I now dont eat bread after 12pm etc). I find it hard to exercise much as Im up at 6am and work all day. However I do work in a busy cafe where I only have 30…

MFP "__kg in 5 weeks" ?
Hi all! I was wondering if any of you know just how accurate the "you will lose __kg in 5 weeks" thing is after you've logged your diary for the day... I'm currently at 54.5kg, and according to MFP if I eat 2000 calories a day then I will weigh 53kg in 5 weeks.. I just find it hard to believe that it would happen (I didn't…

Menu help!
I've been eating terribly lately, and am determined to start up clean eating again. I absolutely love going out for dinner, but have a hard time figuring out whats healthy and not as I don't know exactly what gets out in. I was hoping someone could take a look at the menu - http://venues.alhgroup.info/download/file/397 And…

Help - Calories in granola
There's this cafe near my house which I love eating at a lot. I absolutely love their granola, however I know that some granolas aren't very low calorie-wise. The menu says granola with honey (I'd say a Tbsp), raspberry compote, and oat milk (half a cup?). I don't know the kind of granola, but it's got seeds and almonds in…

390 calories for yoga/pilates/tai chi!?
I went to a class at my gym tonight called Body Balance which incorporates yoga, pilates and tai chi into one class. The gym's site says approximately how many calories each class burns (however I do know it'll change depending on each persons weight, and effort). This one had 390, does this seem a bit much for you? Even…

Vomitgirl to the rescue
So I'm watching batman begins...and I only just found out that he became a "bat" to face his fears of them! (Yes, yes, I'm a bit slow). I thought this was a bit cool and started thinking about what I'd be.. it came down to three things: Vomitgirl, ToadLady, or FootWoman Sweeeeeet.

Replacement for cheese?
So I'm cutting out dairy intake - just for a little bit (for reasons, too long to explain though -.-) And the hardest part is yogurt and cheese. I can't do too much about the yogurt..but is there any way I can fulfill my cheese craving? I love making homemade pizzas and pasta sauces, however they always involve cheese!!…

Sushi??
Hey guys. So I'm seeing a friend today who I haven't seen for ages, and he wants to go to sushi train for lunch. I know that sushi is a healthy option compared to many other places, but I also know some items there aren't so great health-wise. However, I have no idea how to decipher which ones are okay or not! Normally I'd…

Almond, coconut and honey cookies :)
I made these the other day and they are my new favorite cookie to make. The recipe makes 12..but then when I tasted them out of the oven I just HAD to make another batch because I knew I'd demolish them all :p However, I can't take credit - I got them thehealthychef.com, but still have the ingredients at the top of my head…

Low calorie baked goods?
I absolutely LOVE baking whether it's for myself or others. However, having brownies, cupcakes and cookies in the house is too tempting for me D: Does anyone know any recipes for baked goods where you can have one..two...three..the whole batter... and not feel guilty? :p If you could include the amount of calories in them…

What's your idea of a cheat day?
I personally don't have "cheat days", and just enjoy what I want when I want as long as it fits my calorie goal.. but I also am not trying to lose weight, just maintain and tone up. I was just curious as to what you guys do count as cheat days though? I've seen some people go all out with a greasy breakfast and takeaway…

What do you log as exercise?
I was just curious as to what people log in as "exercise" - whether it's only purposeful things such as going for a run, bike ride, exercise classes, weights, gym session, etc. Or "accidental exercise" like walking to the shops or playing fetch with your dog etc. I always do grocery shopping, as I like to choose the best…

My diary for today..
Hey everyone! So I've filled in my diary for the day, and I have 315 calories left! And I atleast need to have an extra 155 in my day so I'm not under the "healthy amount". I don't know where to add them in, as I've already had breakfast, I haven't had lunch yet, but I've bought it with me to work so can't really add…

I can't eat back my calories!
My goal is 1,360, and I always try to aim for this even when i exercise. The other day I burnt 700 calories, therefore allowing me to eat 2,060, and without really having any reason to feel guilty. But I still aimed for my 1,360, meaning the difference is 660.. is that unhealthy? Should I try and eat back all the calories…

Cutting out/back on dairy?
Hey guys. So I've done a bit research and I've seen many people mention that when they cut back on dairy, or removed it from their diet completely, they've had many benefits, not just with weight loss but also appearance such as skin. I'm currently experiencing a few breakouts at a time, and once they go - more come, so…

I wish for a picture of:
Simple game: You say what you wish for a picture of (e.g. I wish for a picture of a chocolate cheesecake), and the next person has to post with that picture, and then make a new wish. I'll start: I wish for a picture of a proboscis monkey

Exercise causing me to breakout!?
So I have really sensitive skin, and recently it's been under control. Until two weeks ago when I started exercising... I'm guessing it's either just a coincidence, and maybe it's just hormones..or perhaps it is from sweating and my skin not being used to it. For the past week i've also been drinking a lot more water than…

Badly reviewed movies you love?
There's a post on here about what movies people think were bad, but have been hyped up and given great reviews. So now it's the opposite - what movie did you really enjoy/love, yet many people think is terrible? Mine is the movie Penelope.... with Christina Ricci and James McAvoy. I don't know why, I just thought it was…

Low cal dessert with strawberries?
Usually for dessert I have a tub of yogurt, but I'm trying to cut back on my dairy. So for tonight I have a punnet of strawberries! However, I'm feeling a bit experimental and creative, so do you guys know anything quick and easy, and also low in calories that I can do with them? (Apart from dipping in chocolate)
-
PILATES BURNS HOW MANY CALORIES!?
My gym's webpage posts how many calories each class burns, but for some reason it doesn't say anything for pilates. This is probably because it's not really meant for "burning calories" but more for balance, toning, strength etc..but I know that it does burn some! There's also this class called body balance which is a…

Favourite joke to date?
I need some laughter in my day, so everyone - share the best joke you have heard to this day! Long, short, one-liner, riddle, anything :) Mine is quite dirty.. "Why does a honey moon only last 7 days?" Because seven days makes a whole week :laugh: Took me a while to get it :p

Over my calorie goal...
I feel like total poop because I've gone over my calorie goal for today.. I was stressing out a bit at work, and they always have these biscuits out, so I went to have one. It was in the evening, so all I had left to eat was dinner, and I calculated that having two serves of biscuits would fit into my daily calorie goal.…

RED MARKS FROM DIET
I didn't really know where to post this, so I've also put it in the Diet and Weightloss forum. When I was younger I used to get pimples, due to hormones and also my diet. Now that I exercise and eat healthy, I very rarely get them - only when I stress. However, my skin is very sensitive, and when I do get one I have a…

Coffee a day?
I've heard an equal amount of good AND bad things about having a coffee a day...and by coffee i mean things like lattes or cappuccinos. I buy one every day whether it's on my way to work in the mornings, or at my local cafe on the weekends. I get a skinny cappuccino with no chocolate.. but I've seen some things saying that…

If you got in a fight with the last artist you listened to..

If calories didn't exist for your next meal....
You could eat anything in the world, and it would in no way affect your body.. what would you choose at this moment in time? I feel like just saying my two guilty pleasures of "rocky road" or "cheesecake" would be a waste since there's so many bad foods.. So I'm going to go with this rocky road cheesecake.. :p

440 calories left - should I eat??
Today I've 920 calories with my goal as 1360 (Though I don't really mind if it goes a bit over). I've also done a bit of walking around today, but I haven't logged any exercise because I wasn't keeping track of time/speed etc so I really can't guess. Anyway, I have 440 calories left, but I'm going to bed in 1 hour...is it…

Lady problems :(
Okay girls, so it's my TOM...and naturally this is the HARDEST part of keeping control over my diet. I'm normally not very good at having self-control, however when the alternative is gaining weight..I can manage to it with a lot of determination :laugh: BUT when my TOM comes around, it's as if my self-control goes from a…
