Quick slap or boost - whichever you would like to do!!!
Hi all. I've been an absent friend since my binge last week. Been hitting the bottle all weekend and I know that's the reason I'm feeling low - so low that I'm on the verge of binging again. To you other emotional eaters - how do you get yourself out of it when you know that's exactly what's happening? Sorry for the…

Emotional eating - HELP!
Hello fellow Emotional Eaters... So today was supposed to be a fd. BAD BAD BAD time of the month - pains, mad head, heavy stomach - coupled with my son being home ill from school. I've given up. Yummy belly pork casserole with peppers and potatoes. And (of course - I am me) lots of wine. And almonds. And an avocado.…

What is your weight loss goal...
...But more importantly, WHY did you decide on that goal? I hit a massive 13st13lbs (195lbs) a while back, I'm down to 12st3lbs (171lbs) at the moment. I have bilateral lower-leg lymphodaema and was recently told by my doctor that I needed to lose weight, but more importantly, to exercise. BIG motivator! So I used bmi…

Favourite 'lighter' alternatives?
I absolutely love Japanese chicken Katsu curry, but all that frying isn't great and is also quite tricky at home. HOWEVER... Last night I made a fantastic one using hairy dieters crispy chicken (but using panko breadcrumbs) and a lighter version of the katsu curry sauce from bbcgoodfood. Absolutely yum - hunbby said it…

What to eat at the cinema?
I don't usually have anything to eat - just coffee or water to drink. But I quite fancied a munch today. It's not a fd, but I wanted to keep calories in check as I feel like hitting the vino tonight! - I would quite happily munch on sugar snaps or carrot sticks but thought these might be a bit noisy. Does anyone have any…

Thursday fasters...
How are you doing so far? Have you woken up raring to go? What are your plans? Me:- Woke up un-motivated after a bad night's sleep (rotten cold) but feeling better now so ready to stick with it... I had a cup of redbush at 7:30, now having a black coffee. Fizzy water only until I feel I need something (probably about…

Thursday Fasters...
What has everyone got planned for today? I have a busy work day, but it will finish at 3:30 today. So lots of black tea through the day and may be an oxo cube if I get peckish. Dinner (for the kids) is a meatball and pasta bake which I find easy to resist - I have a delisious mushroom soup planned. Also going to fit in an…

how do I work out the calories in...
Duck gravy! I roasted a crown of duck and made sauce/gravy using the juices plus stock and half a glass of red wine. Obviously, I can work out the bits I added (stock and wine) but the 'juices' have got to be quite calorific??? The family are having a full dinner tonight, but I'm just going to have a plate full of veggies…

UK newbie seeks a couple of genuine online buddies!
Having spent a couple of days trawling the forums I see that it can be a bit 'Facebook' on the collecting friends front! I'm not into that, I'm looking for someone I can check in with daily to motivate each other, especially on the exercise front. Anyone out there with similar stats that's interested? 42 year old mum,…

End of Wk2 and just found forums!
Hi everyone! I've just finished wk2 and have lost 4lbs! (I have decided to only weigh myself every 2 weeks as I have a tendency to get obsessive about these things.) I'm Jo, 42, from Norfolk. Married with 2 children. I have in my wardrobe clothes size 8 thru to 18 - I think I epitomise a yoyo dieter. I have been suffering…
