The General Diet & Emotional Support Thread

~daisy~_2

as a gym instructor *rolls eyes - oh how quickly your friends forget ...* - this is why we need accurate height and weight on your par q's - this is a standard calorie burn equation on the equipment but with this it helps a bit
however they normally over estimate by about a 1/3rd in general im sorry to say .....

I just found this thread and would love to help if I could. I'm a personal trainer that also has a lot of diet experience (:

I think we all look forward to your words of wisdom. At the moment im laid up with a broken ankle. Im hobbling about on a crutch and have only just started to put weight on it again.

Hopefully, as I increase my mobility I hope to melt the pounds off.:D

Oh Daisy... I hadn't forgotten you were a gym instructor, honest *simpers*

How depressing that they overestimate though. Bah.

My parents got back from a summer in France a week ago and I went to see them. I was amazed to see how much weight they had lost - particularly my dad who definitely had it to lose on his tum! They don't really cook in the main and I think that has led to their very carb-led diet and subsequent weight loss. I had them over for dinner so I asked what they could eat and they said anything as they were at the stage where they have 'Dukan Thursdays'. I have now got the book and as soon as I have got far enough into the book I will be starting. If my parents can lose that much weight then trust me, anyone can!

Hi peeps,
Looks like it might be nice later so washing mahine chugging away merrily.

I should finish painting the lounge before i start full time but i know i wont.. wish i was more like SD :cool:

Treated myself to some pink champagne yesterday as a little celebration

Already breakfasted, so off to do some ironing.

Have a good day all.

Right back at ya daisy.

We have sun too Maz, haven't seen sun in ages up here..might go stand in the garden like some hippy nomad, just smiling at the sun. Often thought I might need one of those SAD lamps, I'm sure my mood is affected by the dull drizzle up here.

Off into nearest big town today, need to pick up a few things for daughter. Will try to stay away from MacDonalds...but that's as much as I'm promising.

See you all later.

*waves to all*

Sunnyday

Afternoon peeps :wave:

its been a nice sunny morning here so i`ve been busy.

Dogs walked - check
Washing hung out - check
Chicken & bacon pasta made - Check
Showered - check
Kitchen cleaned and tidied - check
Downstairs rooms hoovered - check
Grass on back garden cut - check
Upstairs tidied - check
Washing machine loaded ready for tonight - check
Cheese on toast for brunch - check

I now have a full fifteen mins to myself before i have to go to work :sad:

Never mind - i`ve got plenty done, just hope that i can keep up the pace for the next couple of days.

Foodwise i`ve had the cheese on toast as above and for dinner and tea i have a small roast chicken dinner packed into a tub to nuke at work and a small tub of leftover pasta, treats are a couple of home made hobnobs for later when i need something sweet.

Thanks for that Mazzers, it made me get up off my @rse and stop feeling sorry for myself, if i hadn`t read that i wouldn`t have cut the grass or hoovered

I`ve been feeling a bit low the last couple of days so need to pull myself together a bit, although i said i wouldn`t let it get to me DH`s job situation keeps creeping to the front of my mind, can`t let him see me worried though cos i`ve got to be there for him to lean on IYKWIM.

Anyhow, best get a move on and organise a parcel redelivery then i need to get changed and off i go.

Have a good afternoon peeps.
