    Buying a Puppy - £500?

    Crate training is not cruel. I don't crate train, but can see why people like it. You aren't supposed to leave them in a crate for prolonged periods of time.

    Buying a Puppy - £500?

    I think people forget dogs are very sociable animals - they're not designed to spend that amount of time on their own each and every day. What about toilet breaks in that time?
  165. L

    First week weigh in....

    Not usually, if i'm working i put my 2 shakes into 1 bottle and just drink it through out the day - lasts untill about 1pm, that along with my snacks and copius amounts of tea means that i'm not hungry all day! weekends i have my first shake about 10:30/11ish and then have another at about 2/3...

  169. L

    Lunch ideas??

    Jacket potato - cook in the oven the night before and heat in the microwave with tuna/beans/cottage cheese and side salad - great healthy meal that fills me up all afternoon, then go for a low calorie/sugar free jelly for afters - they're about 10 cals a pot - can't go wrong! or a muller light...
