Not new but back again to shift some of this weight
So its a long story but I've been dealing with alot over the last month or so. Means I've abandoned weight loss and health in general eating fast and easy things.

Serial Starter looking for some people to help me stick with it till the end this time.
If you go back in my profile I have said this a few times and I can't lie, it's frustrating as hell to admit it but I need to admit it.

Anyone else need to shift the Covid weight? Love some help and accountability.

I need simple, easy to make recipies.
So, long story short, I've moved out of my parents and decided to take better care of myself. I could do with some simple recipies. (Ideally without weighing stuff) that I can just wack together and cook, then eat. The easier the better honestly. Any ideas, or any ideas where I can get some ideas from.

Yep. Me again. I need to learn to stay on the bandwagon.
Life's been tough over the past few months and I hope that everyone is doing well. Between the two lockdowns that have happened in the UK I managed to move out of my parents house and make myself stand on my own two feet, this means that I have much more control over the things that I eat and the things that I do. Would…

Weighing your food with a family?
So today I bought some scales for me to more accurately measure my food and monitor my calories.

Is there however a way that I can get…

Flavoured water?
Apologies if this isn't supposed to go here but I dunno if it fits anywhere any better. But flavoured water. Like the Volvox stuff. Watermelon, apple, berry etc. Is that okay to drink 2 litres of a day or does it have to be straight, flavourless water?

UK Accountability Buddies,
This is not just for people from the UK but due to time zones it would be preferred. I've tried too many times before and lost a little but then fell off the horse and had to start from scratch. This is part of the reason I would like to add more friends and have some sort of accountabilty or reason to keep up with it. Im…

Help keeping diet in check
