    Just a quick post to mark another 7.47miles for the EV challenge :) Brings my total to 30.22 miles! I am pooped!!
    Off out to Harvester for tea tonight, the wife is treating me, apparently they now show calories on the menu. I'm planning to have the 'Simply chicken' grilled chicken breast, jacket potato and garden peas (560cals) They have a free unlimited salad bar too, so as long as I don't pour on gallons of blue cheese sauce I'll be okay! :D

    harvesters are my fav meal out

    12oz rump, jacket with sour cream and a bucket of salad, avoid the croutons, bacon bits and crispy onion bits

    perfect diet food

    I have been starving hungry today! Maybe I haven't eaten enough as I don't usually feel so hungry.
    Breakfast: Whey protein shake, made with soya milk and half a banana
    Lunch: 2 slices of bacon griddled with mushrooms and courgettes fried
    Snack: Food doctor seeds and a small apple
    Snack: Slice of ham, 1 dark rye ryvita spread with Philadelphia
    Dinner: Will be a kebab, no pitta

    does not look much there

    its also important to have feeding days at least once a week

    That quote was actually made by Anna Raymond:
    ‘But it’s got to be interpreted quite carefully. People shouldn’t think they can eat a big bowl of pasta and half a loaf of white bread.’

    That's the point though, look at how the Daily Mail 'interpreted' (or should that be fabricated?!?) it.


    Fred - Can you please add 12.1 km to my chart (48.1 km/ 29 miles). Can I also be put down for 5 circuits, I think I asked before, but it might have been missed.


    Is anyone going to watch the Eurovision contest tonight?
    I've just been told that Jedward are supposed to be favourites to win!!! :eek::eek: (great likeness isn't it? lol). I didn't even know they were in it until today!

    I had better make it a big kebab then!:)

    Tomorrow is roast dinner, so that is probably my feeding day!

    Eric, why are feeding days important? And what/how much do you eat on those days?

    I've never had 'feeding' days, but have 'off the rails' days, does that count? :rotfl:
  • Yes, I would like to know too! Some days I eat more than others, but I have never set aside a day to eat more than on other days. If I eat something "very carby one day" I "put it in box" and move on.

    if you reduce you calorie intake by too much for too long you go into famine mode and you will stop loosing weight

    having the odd day where you eat more say a full normal days cals helps stop this

    i dont go mad on carbs thou, so today i ate 2800 cals but its my normal food, just a bit more

    Hello. Never been on the 'I wanna..' thread before so feeling a bit lost. :o I posted the following on the Familys etc thread and was recommended to post here instead. No idea how to move a thread so have re-posted my original message...
    Here goes:
    "Hi there,
    I have been getting nowhere with trying to lose some weight. I lost a stone last year (then put it on again) so feel I can do it, once I have properly put my mind to it...but food is a definite emotional crutch for me (plus I just really, really like chocolate )

    Anyway, the point of this thread is that I have just bought some Lipobind dieting tablets, as I thought it just might give me the kick start I need. I have taken 2 tablets after my main meal but was wondering, do I have to take them after breakfast and lunch too? Breakfast will be shredded wheat or rice krispies, lunch will be sandwich (dry bread, wafer thin ham, tomato) and probably Special K bar or similar.
    The leaflet didn't give that much detail, and I'm wondering if you only use it after main meals which are probably the ones containing most fat?
    In true MSE style, hoping to make the one pack of tablets last a long time

    And if anyone has had any experience of using LipoBind, I'd love to hear how you did."
