I don't think people eat the pandan leaf, mainly for show - like banana or lotus leaves- I think they use it mainly to infuse flavour too and to make extract from. Slight sweetness - a bit like coconut or vanilla.

Your cat looks very happy!

I only had half of my HexB too, easily forgotten sometimes. Good news about your jeans! :) I have about 3 pairs unworn, they are another 2 sizes down. I was optimistic about getting into them when I brought them about 5 years ago! :D

I was talking about a trampoline to a work colleague the other day. I'll see how much activity I do over the next few weeks, if they remain low I'll look into other options, trampoline does look fun!

I can't get my head into this healthy eating. I have got to keep it simple or it will just mess with my head. My new goals is to reduce my red meat intake and increase my whole foods. That should be easy to follow. Again, we shall see. I also will need to update my food diary more often. Try...

I had a think about it. I will still weigh myself every Sunday, but I am only going to update once a month. The first of every month. Mainly because my weight goes up and down too much in a space of a week. Once a month it's more stable. Eating and exercise has been good and bad. I'm not so...

Aiiii... not good news, up again on the scales. I blame TOTM and the clocks going forward! :p I was up at 3:55am as hubby was on an early shift and he woke me up to tell me that he set the alarm an hour earlier - but then his mobile updated his time and set it another hour forward! 2 hours...

I use meetup regularly - though I've not been for walking/hiking meet yet as the times are too middle of the day for me, I think there was an early Saturday morning meet last month, but I wasn't free that day. I'll keep an eye out though :)

I survived my personal training session. He was very easy on me, because August was the last session I had with him - not October, so again just getting the hang of everything again. By the end of the session I had only burnt 380cals, so I walked/jogged for 2km on the treadmill took 17mins and...

So much for my weigh in this morning - heavier than yesterday :( My weight now stands at 173.6lbs. Let's hope it's mainly water.

We could start a session around May time depending on numbers. I would like to go ahead if there are 4 people or above interested.

I've been so busy this week, not cooked a sausage and my body monitor was bleeping at me to charge up, but not had time to sit at the PC. I did weigh myself this morning and it's not good. I will try and weigh myself tomorrow morning and if it's not too bad I will post it up (this mornings...

I'm sure I read somewhere it's one of the most accurate devices you can buy. The bodybug/Ki fit people also developed those pods you sit in to analyze body fat, but at £99 pounds for 10mins it's not something I would pay out for.

Weigh in this morning and I am 0.8lbs down. Weighing in at 171.8lbs. Will need to update food and exercise later if I get a chance.

I went to the treasure hunt, I didn't rack up as many steps as I thought I would maybe 7000 steps whilst doing so, but I did stay out and about and when I last looked my step count was at 21935 steps! :D

I couldn't go to the gym. Short staffed today at work, so I couldn't leave work early, being Friday the gym closes much earlier. I have said to myself that I will jog tomorrow morning, I just have to psych myself up for it and not make excuses when I get up. Today's eating has been a much...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone would like to meet and walk around a London (Royal) Park? Might be nice to meet others and whilst doing something active. Looking at weekends, ideally Sunday mornings... as early as possible in the morning! (that would be my preference) let me know your thoughts.

I was able to get into a badminton session for next Monday evening! I also signed up for a treasure hunt this coming Saturday at a London museum. That should get my step count up :D Surprised to have walked over 15,500 steps today. Didn't feel like I did much walking!

Juicy :D I eat a massive amount of food! I sometimes have tea/snacks at work too and the majority of my colleagues use it as a main meal and they don't eat dinner afterwards, but I just see it as a snack! :o I do eat loads, but in this past year I know that I will usually burn the food I eat. I...

Well done with your jogging times, that's double the time from a few weeks ago!

Hi Juicy, I don't have a weekly target I'm worried about not achieving any weight loss! This week I feel positive though, I'm not feeling so bloated like the last few months. I think for me, if i can keep a close eye on my food I'll lose half a pound and if I get my butt moving I'll lose...

I've been doing quite well with upping my step count. Yesterday and today I walked part of the way to and from work. I reckon extra 5000-7000 steps added to each day. Today my step count was 17,284. Yay me!:D

I've been picking all day today. I decided to walk part of the way to work, so I can up my step count. Got to work and the walk worked up an appetite so I had some breakfast biscuits - this is after having breakfast at home! Then I had the work lunch and then I had my own! (To be fair my own...

Forgot to add my dinner pic, getting a bit slack with the photos.

Ok Juicy, will let you know how the book is! B: Egg, cheese and ham English muffin. Herbal tea L: Sausage sandwich on seeded bread, scraping of butter with watercress. Homemade jelly pot. An apple D: Turkey mince stir fry with chilli and basil. Pak Choi. Jasmine Rice. S: Half a hot cross bun...

Mon 25th Feb. I went to the gym after work. Spent my time just on cardio equipment. Warmed up on the cross trainer 12mins. Completed 3km on the treadmill in exactly 24mins; Average incline 1% Continued to walk another 1.5km Finished with a plank for 45secs - just the one today. Next time I'll...

Hey Juicy (or anyone else) this is the recipe link for the cupcakes. BBC - Food - Recipes : Skinny lemon cupcakes with drizzly icing At one point the cake mix did look a bit curdly- but on some other baking sites they said it not to worry about it looking curdled, once they are baked it's okay! :)

Wed 20th Feb L: Left over bolognaise- made into con carne. Served with rice and salad (with light mayo dressing) D: Homemade chicken curry with wilted spinach, served with rice S: Tea with milk. Not a very varied menu - rice noodles fir breakfast, rice for lunch and rice again for dinner...

The last dinner photo looks pretty bad! It's all the same pale yellow colour, lucky green beans were added at the last minute! I like a bit more colour in my food :)

I had an okay two days of food (my standards are pretty low! :p) Sat 16th Feb B(runch) Omlette, bacon, half a bagel... see previous post. D: Chicken Teriyaki with Japanese rice, salad. Japanese Ice tea (made from barley, has no sugar) S: Half grapefruit, half an apple, 2 homemade almond...

Yesterday i did very well with the food. Out of curiosity i checked the calories and it was around 1680. Possibly the only day since Christmas it's been below 2000 calories! I had quite a lot this morning; Spinach omlette on top of bacon on half a multiseed bagel with quark and half a grilled...

Today there weren't so many downfalls :) B: Half a multi-grain bagel topped with peanut butter and half a banana. Tea with skimmed milk L: Turkey patty rolled in sesame (on the other half of the) bagel. Salsa made with red peppers, onion and chilli D: Lamb chops, crushed new potatoes,veg and...

Just wanna say "Hi" and that I'll be using this thread. I weigh 12 stone 8 today. I don't technically calorie count- I had hoped that eating healthy will keep my weight more or less the same and then I would shift the weight through a more active lifestyle. Well, the last 3 weeks I've not been...

Need to do something about my weight! I just spent time tallying up my breakfast calories and my average calories for breakfast is 440cals (didn't include the weekends) That's too high especially as I don't calorie count the rest of the day's meals (all which are bigger than average sized...

Today's food consumption was bad. I feel fat!! I look fat! :( Healthy eaters stop reading now!! B: Pastry and latte L: Quarter pounder with cheese, medium fries, D-Coke D: Ordered Chinese Spare ribs, then reheated my homemade chicken in black bean sauce, served with white rice. After...

I'm not a Christian, but I think I should give up cheese for lent. I was just going to sleep and I thought back to what I ate and I have been eating a lot of cheese lately. My hubby just commented that there will be cheese strings coming out of my pores in the morning - that's just gross! :sign0137:

Under 9000 steps today. I've been taking time out for lunch time strolls so far this week, as I'm on annual leave. I walk quite fast paced and for example today I walked for 45-50 mins and it racked up 6000 steps or so :confused: in my usual morning when I walk to the station to catch my...

I've eaten may too much cheese and dairy today! I shall try to not have much tomorrow. B: Cheese on toast. Butter and marmite on toast. Breakfast tea with milk. L: 3 turkey meat balls rolled in sesame seeds (I saw a pic of something like a meatball with sesame seeds, so I'd thought I would...

L: 1 savoury pancake with ham, mushroom, spinach and grated low fat cheddar, also a grilled tomato. Followed by another pancake 1 with lemon and sugar D: (A weird mix) Spaghetti with wilted spinach, then topped with a chicken kiev. S: Yakult and also an actimel!! ( I was quality controlling...

I think I will turn up when it's a bit warmer :) ideally I'd like to be able to complete 5km around 35-40mins comfortably in the gym, then I would be more comfortable doing it outside. This is the parkrun website parkrun UK

Tuesday 12th Feb B: I made myself a poached egg, processed cheese and ham in a muffin. Breakfast tea with milk. I also made a slice of soda bread with butter and marmalade, but after eating the muffin and tea I was full - feeling full doesn't happen much to me, lets hope I can continue the rest...

Looked up online, if you were born before 5th Feb 1989 you'd be year of the dragon. The 6th and after you'd be a snake sign. I'm a rabbit.

Monday 11 Feb B: Homemade pancakes (smaller and thinner than shop brought scotch pancakes, I had 4) topped with blueberries and yogurt, Coffee with milk L: Homemade ham, brie salad sandwich. Walker crisps, an apple and a clementine D: Chicken & pineapple stir fry, bowl of rice, jasmine tea. S...

I'd like to do a 5km run. I feel I really need a goal to get focused. There are free parkruns dotted around and I registered last year, but I've been too scared to turn up at a session. I'm thinking of attending one either Sat 30th March or Sat 6th April, that would give me about 7-8 weeks to...

I hope the job interview went ok, and good luck for the 2nd job interview too!

In the late 70's - not as you young as you I'm afraid :( ;) I'm going to get the Wii out in a while, weather outside looks a bit gloomy

That's an impressive number of steps and calorie burn, you must have had a very busy day!

Uploading saturday's food. Roast duck and Chilli prawns were take-outs.

Thanks juicygooseface, I think the spelling always changes, but I understand! :) To everyone else, I hope the Year of the Snake brings good fortune and happiness to all! :) I'm not posting up my weight this week - ate way too much last night. Today was worse. Tomorrow I will do better...

I've decided i'm not going to weigh myself tomorrow as it's Chinese New Year tomorrow and the next 72hrs I am going to eat badly. I'll weigh myself next week and see what the damage is. Already started badly with a cafe breakfast.

I've been trying hard to be good at work, not too bad this week, I've said "No, thanks" to most temptations, except today my colleague brought me a cinnamon swirl/pastry as I had a bad day at work yesterday and she also took me out to lunch too :) B: 2 crumpets (same as yesterday) one with...

Thursday 7th Feb B: 2 Crumpets, one with cheese, other with jam, Breakfast tea with milk L: Homemade Cheese, ham & cucumber sandwich, 1 Grapefruit, 1 Clementine D: Spiced lamb chops, rice, salad with olive oil S: Jam doughnut, Tea with milk, Holy Basil tea. My line manager brought in some...

I just had a sneaky weigh in and it's not looking good, about 2lbs up :( Need to have a good eating day today! Proposed to have muesli this morning, toastie for lunch and stir fry in the evening.

Yesterday's breakfast photo didn't load up. Trying again.

I find it easy to eat healthier if I have planned meal ahead. What I have been eating so far isn't that far off with what I was eating before, but I'm definitely being more conscious of portion size and taking photos of the food has helped! more than a few times I had dished up my plate and...

Tuesday's Food B: Natural yoghurt, 2 tablespoon muesli, flat bread, honey drizzle. Breakfast tea with milk. L: Caramelized onions and cheese ciabatta, square crisps D: Large bowl of stew, 2 slices of soda bread with butter S: Handful kettle chips, 2 glasses of red wine, galaxy hot choc...

I took a 45 minute walk before getting the train back home. If I had known I was going to pig out when I got home I would have walked a hell of a lot more! Will 17,680 steps cancel out my 2 large helpings of lemon meringue? :o

The day started off okay, then it gradually got worse :( B: Nut muesli with semi skimmed milk breakfast tea with semi skimmed milk. L: Flat bread, falafel, cheese, olives etc ... see photo (also add another extra 2 falafels to the photo- i went back for more) D: Supermarket curry, white rice...

Today's food... again it's told me it has crashed... previous photos have shown up even when it's crashed, maybe it's just my phone... This week onwards, I'm going to... 1) Not be so spread happy with the butter/Lurpak (eating too much bread) 2) Not eat so much bread! Pre-sliced bread (usually...

I thought I was going to gain, like I said I have been eating a lot more lately and not moving much. Anyway, much better now. Yesterday's dinner was a bit mix and match, I was trying to be thrifty with food close to past/best before/use by dates. I have given the fridge a thorough clean now so...

I decided for the week just past, not to have any goals, as it would have been difficult to reach considering I was still not 100%. Feel much better now though :) Week 5 Update Weight 173.8lbs the same as last week Total Calorie burn: 19,890 (Daily Average 2,841) Total Weekly Steps Taken...

Same weight as last week. 173.8lbs. I'll update more info later. Need to clean the house now :(

I don't think I would have lost anything this week :( my appetite has returned with a vengence, but my calorie burn & step count is lower than normal. I think these last 2 weeks there may have only been a couple days I have met my calorie burn. I may have put some weight on, last week I gained...

Hi, I weigh in on Sundays too, the idea was that I don't binge over the weekend - that logic doesn't work though! :p I tend to eat lots of rice and stir fry (being british born Chinese and stir fry is pretty quick) Hubby is british born Chinese/Thai and likes spicy food so our food menu mainly...

L: Heinz Tomato Soup, ham & salad sandwich on seeded bread. D: Simple chilli chicken and rice S: 1 homemade walnut cupcake, an apple, a large handful of kettle chips, 1 hot chocolate- made with half soya milk/half water, Peppermint tea. I will try to do better from tomorrow, mindless snacking...

I've been ill, so not a huge amount to update on. I have done not very much lately. I did start a food diary on the healthy eating forum, but my food hasn't been so healthy of late either :o Anyway, I'm going to update last week's results Week 4 Update Weight 173.8lbs, up 0.2lb Total Calorie...

Start of a new week. I'm back at work, felt exhausted on the commute. Probably take a few days to get back in the swing of things. Breakfast today was toast, 2 slices, both with butter, one with peanut butter, the other with a slice lean bacon and cup of tea Lunch: chicken & ham sub roll. 1...

I have acute laryngitis :( signed off for work until the end of the week. I haven't updated food as i've been picking here and there and not had a meal as such, exception of today's dinner. I had jacket potato beans and sausages. I had to add quite a bit of salt because I can't taste anything...

Not feeling 100% :( Thumping headache, throat is dry and getting congestion around my sinus. It's not flu, so I've been feeding it :P B: Crumpets x2 one with Lurpak, one with marmalade. Holy basil herbal tea. L: Homemade chicken broth with rice and wholemeal roll with Lurpak D: Spaghetti...

The dim sum photo with 5 dishes was only shared by hubby and I, so I definitely over ate lunch :(

Oh, it uploaded it! Even when it said error! :D

Okay, not a great start for my so called 'healthy eating' I had dim sum for lunch and afterwards I didn't feel so good - definitely coming down with something, so I've been on the honey and lemon teas since lunch and eating lots of hot cross buns with butter - cravings! Attachments of lunch...

I have trouble recording the foods I eat and I don't get much time to sit down at the PC to update properly. So I thought I would have a go at photographing my food/meals on my mobile as and when and update my diary that way :) I think having my visual food diary thread on the 'healthy eating'...

I thought jive dancing was more rock n roll but it was very similar to moves to the Lindy hop/Swing dancing, so I got into it straight away :) Lucky we went out as my step count was very low yesterday, by the end of the night I reached my daily step target and exceeded it by 586 steps

Going jive dancing! hubby is off tonight, never done it before hope it's not too difficult to get to grips with. There's a 30minute class then social dancing with a live band and everything

Going jive dancing tonight

18th Jan Gym session 50mins or so, calories burnt in session 438. Mainly used the treadmill as other equipment was being used- the dreaded wave was being used too! Haha! :P Treadmill 12mins warm up, then 3km in 23:49seconds incline average of 0.9% another PB too :) plank 2 sets of 45sconds...

I'm going to start a food diary when I can get internet connection back on sky at home. Tried starting a thread last night with photos with my mobile, but I didn't have enough patience to actually get it posted up. Waiting on train platform now to go to the gym for a quick workout. No sign of...

It looks like you are doing brilliantly with the food and using your fitbit. Good luck with your weigh in later.

It's so easily done to miss one gym session after another. I've taken some photos of the rubbish I have eaten this week, i'm pretty embarrassed that the portions are so large! I think posting photos will definitely help. I will look at starting a food diary of some sort.

Been lazy the last few days, no structured exercise so far and eaten far too much. I'm wondering if I can take photos of the foods I eat and post them up instead of typing out each ingredient; seeing I don't weigh or tally up my calories. It would be a quicker summary of my meals and see the...

Internet is working again! Yay! I managed to go to they gym Thursday; Vario/Cross Trainer 10mins Wave - Still only did 3 minutes, but I wasn't aching as much as the first time I did it. Will try to add 1 minute extra each time I go on the Wave again, to build up a good time on the machine...

I went to the gym at the end, like you I have a contract too, for another year or so. My internet is dodgy I have had no connection for a couple days now, so not being able to update properly :(

I didn't go to Lindy Hop Class :( A bit skint, so that means I won't be going badminton tomorrow evening. I will think of replacing my missed class or badminton with something 'free'

Hungry, on train home after badminton session. In 3 hour period I played 1hr 35mins. Calorie burn 757. Had a piece of cream cake; the organizer brought it in, hope it doesn't cancel out my calorie burn.

Check online, they might hold a weekly class in a pub or community hall. Look up 'swing dance' it doesn't get you that sweaty, but you get to meet a mixture of people and get to feel all girly being twirled about -if you like that sort of thing ;-) I do the class with hubby, it's the only...

Lindy Hop is swing dancing,1940's era. Think American Navy officers and women with lined stockings on flying and twirling about ;-) My beginner class is not glam though, just about spin on the spot without falling over and we don't dress up :-(

Exercise Schedule for this week should look a bit like this: Mon - Badminton Tues - Lindy Hop Class Wed - No plans made Thurs - Badminton Fri - No plans made Sat - Badminton

Yesterday I played badminton, 110mins burning 541cals. I need to be more confident to jump onto the empty courts, missed the opportunity to play some more challenging games, when there are guys on the court I feel a bit anxious, although some of them I have a similar ability to, I'll work up to...

How's the FitBit? You sound like you are having fun! :)

I made it to the gym this morning. Vario - 15mins Warm up Wave - Only 3mins!!! My thighs ached :o Treadmill - 26mins 24sec; completing 3km Average incline 0.6% I didn't feel up to do my usual core work just yet, but managed 2x45 seconds doing the Plank. Tricep dips only managed 2 sets, Low...

My usual weigh in is on Sunday figured best not to overeat for the weekend- doesn't always work! I also weigh myself on the 1st of every month, so I can see more of a progress when it's tracked on a ticker graph. I've just packed my bags for the gym tomorrow morning- dreading it as I'm trying...

I definitely think that pedometers and trackers help, when I didn't wear my KiFit I was a lazy bum... and I knew it!:) I weighed myself this morning and the scale added 4lbs to yesterday's weight!! Not sure how that happened I did have some nibbles last night and a couple of drinks, may have...

I didn't really leave the house today, except to go to the shop :o I managed some jogging and steps on the Wii Fit, so far 8289 steps taken today, so will need to do a bit more. I'm taking it slowly this week, plan to go to the gym on Thursday.. just to get use to the machines, not been for...

I had to google Fitbit :) They both track steps, but the Kifit has loads of sensors, so it is supposed to track every calorie burnt what ever the activity (but it's not water proof). I got hold of mine (auctioned & used) on Ebay after seeing the contestants on the Biggest Loser having them...

Start of a New Year! I wanted to sort out some sort of exercise timetable for this coming week, I've not had time to sit and work it all out properly yet. I'll begin with tomorrow first (being the start of the New Year!) :p and I will take a 45-60mins walk and when I've come home from the...

The cupboards and fridge are finally getting back to normal levels now with the Christmas indulgences out of the way. I’m looking to get healthier by eating better and exercising more. There are many reasons why I want to start a healthy regime, one being that I only married 3 months ago...

Hi all, I wanted to update for a while now, but never had a proper chance to sit down on the PC :) I never managed to reach my target of 152lbs/10st 10lbs that was my goal at the start of this thread. A week before the wedding I got to 162lbs, so for the big day I reckon I would have been...

I had my hen night yesterday, did lots of dancing and not so much drinking, so that's all good :) Weigh in this morning was at 164lbs. Never weighed so little before! :D Less than 3 weeks to go and I will have to use my time wisely, not to take today's example and spend it all on the sofa!

Haven't updated this week; 1 hour PTraining session, trainer pushed me hard and I was sick after the session :cry:Swim session about an hour, Bootcamp session 1hr. 3hrs total. 11hrs 38mins done. Anahita - 12hrs - 10hrs 50mins done Blackwidow - 12hrs - 14hrs 20mins done BlondeGem - 15hrs - 5hrs...

I've been so busy these last couple of weeks, work had been very hectic, thank god had a two week break from work, started last week and only have one week left now :( I weighed myself yesterday and it went back down to 168lbs. 2lbs down from last week. Exercise wise I have stuck to it when I...

Up 2.2lbs, but I'm sure it's water weight... I did sneakily weigh myself yesterday morning and it was a STS from previous week.

I watched the programme and I did find it real interesting. It has made me think about fasting a couple days each week (still having a 400- 450 calorie meal) I have never done anything like that before and even reducing my calories by 500cals a daily basis is hard for me, but I think it's down...

0.2lbs up from last week, TOTM too. I feel lazy! I really should take a walk or something. I have 2 lots of KWorx WK.3 to complete too, Cardio and Resistance, it should have been done by yesterday!

Up ever so slightly from last week by 0.2lbs. Weird, all week it was 170lbs and this morning it magically went back down to 167.8lb. TOTM too, maybe that is to blame :p

I didn't wake up in time to do any exercises this morning, but managed a walk before work. 45mins, 200cals burnt and it registered on my monitor as 'Vigorious' activity, which I am chuffed at as it will only say 'Vigorious' when I am jogging on the treadmill. So I will see it as I am getting...

Just seen a friend on FB and she's getting married on the same day as me and she looks fab! Lost loads of weight, makes me sad though as I haven't come close to her in weight loss, I think she's dropped at least 2-3 sizes since I last saw her in Feb :eek: Lots of people use to comment how she...

Last 2 days calories not been too shocking, yesteday was good at 1600calories. I must say I am impressed with it all for this past week. I've not done much activity though- will need to do something later this evening, especially just spending my morning and afternoon sitting in front of the PC...

I had a long session at the gym after work, I would have stayed on the treadmill for longer if had not been ealier closing on a friday. I worked out for 1hr &35mins. On the treadmill I managed to run 3.5km in 26:06 seconds, a PB for me :) Calories burnt in the session 620cals. Calorie wise I...

I am using another calorie counting tool and it's adding up the total calories much lower, I think it's more accurate as it calculates branded goods, not just generic ones, still high mind you, but managable for me. 1800cals yesterday and 1700cals today- I went overboard on snacks, thinking I...

60 days to go for me now. I'm the lightest I've ever been, from the neck up and from the hips down I can see a difference, it's a shame my boobs and my tummy are still too big and wobbly, so much muffin top! :( Rubbish 2 days with calories... still the culprit is eating late in the evening...

Oh, it's that time again I need to update and work out my targets for next week :sigh: Last week I did really bad on the calorie side of things, so many cakes baked at work, parents bringing in chocs, half the time I was accepting food to be polite, other times just as a social mindless thing...

I did a session of Kettleworx wk.1 Core and also Kettercise 8 minute abs to compensate of my massive 4000+ something calories for the last 2 days :( Too much junk food, due to end of term chocs from parents etc and eating out with colleagues. Also on late shift doesn't help with the eating side...
