    Oh forgot about something.

    Had 6 chicken drumsticks yesterday, boiled them and took the meat of 3 of them mixing with pesto, cous cous and sun dried tomatos - hd it kind of 4ish.

    Hid the oter 3cooked drumsticks in the hanging cupboard in the kitchen closing the doors.

    Unfortunately , Fred my forever starving cat has omehow managed to open the cupboard and help himself to 2 of my 3 drumsticks.. with Zara my dog helping him with the bones grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Neer mind that cooked chicken bones can kill a dog BUT the nerve of the 2 of them... those were MY drumsticks :(

    Is anyone else using the myfitnesspal site having problems getting all the calories in?

    I seem to be 500+ short everyday now I know I was ill last week but even today by the time I put my dinner in I think I will be 600ish down, something is wrong somewhere :o and I've not lost weight, not put any on, but not lost any.

    I havent done much exercise until today, infact the past week I've been sat on my rather large bottom feeling sorry for myself - that chinese I didnt include on Friday must be the reason!!!

    I wish I would take my own advice!

    Do you mean you're under or over your calories? I always find myself under but not by that much:eek: What are you eating every day to be so over/under?:eek:
    Can I add you on myfitnesspal? I'll PM you my username :D

    I am having problems with:

    1) finding the food I eat on my fitness pall - calories do not agree between what is listed there and what I see on tinns/packets at home, I guess as members add items they do not calculate properly :(
    2) trying to add as new food
    3) wish there was an option to simply add calories eaten

    Just had my motivation for losing weight heightened by the Download Festival announcements! Not mind blowing, but some pretty good bands on there, and I will need to be fit to keep up with those bands! Most looking forward to Black Sabbath, The Prodigy and Tencious D. The rest are good or I've seen before (inc Metallica and Biffy Clyro).

    These guys look crazy! They'll be there again too. Wonder if I could keep up?
