Ohhh you truly are wise!

Sorry phone, stoopid me x

WiseKneeHair · 13/02/2013 17:55

In fact, it is only my knee hairs that are wise. Grin

LalyRawr · 13/02/2013 18:03

And very wise knee hairs they are too!

Hello everyone. Another MFP addict here. Same username as on here, feel free to add me. Talking of meal deals - my local coop has a £5 stir fry deal on at the moment. Prawns, noodles, prepared veg and sauce sachet - came in at under 500 calories for a portion with the Chinese sauce and egg noodles. Added extra ginger and chilli and now my mouth is on fire! Yummy though and I feel very full.

Confitdecanard · 13/02/2013 18:16

Is anyone having a problem with the iPhone app? Mine says I have no friends which, unless there has been a big conspiracy to get rid of me, isn't true!

WiseKneeHair · 13/02/2013 18:23

Oh Confit you've Sussed us out! Grin. No, no problems with the iPhone app here.
That meal deal sounds yummy. I love stir fry.

Confitdecanard · 13/02/2013 18:37

Another addict here after being recommended by a friend, my cycle is round the bend and I suffer with ibs but I've lost around half a stone since January and keeping an eye on what I eat.

Username is VixCyn23 would be great to meet more users!

Welcome new ladies x I have added u all x

flootshoot · 13/02/2013 20:05

Hurrah, I have friends. Now you can all spy on my v. weird eating habits Grin. Just did the shred for the fifth time (have been alternating with other things) and I didn't break a sweat... Can't believe how much my endurance has improved in just over a week, but that does means its probably time for level 2. Yikes.

WiseKneeHair · 13/02/2013 21:26

flootshoot definitely time for level 2 - go on, you'll enjoy it, promise. I am disappointed in you though as I can't see your weird eating habits on MFP. I was getting very excited wondering what you ate. Grin have I mentioned that I am nosy?

LalyRawr · 13/02/2013 21:35

Just added all of you.

OH broke my step, so just done 30 minutes of step ups on the bottom rung of his stepladder which is much higher! My legs can no longer bear my weight x

Lissyfrog · 13/02/2013 22:36

Does the shred have lots of jogging in it ???? For those of u who don't know I'm recovering after a back op which I had 3 weeks ago x I'm a long way off being able to do high impact workouts but really need to strengthen my core x

twinkle183 · 13/02/2013 22:37

Evening all.... Just bench marking!! Happy Lent everyone! First day has not been too bad...

Does anyone else stress eat?? Hmm

Lissyfrog · 13/02/2013 22:49

Yes hun x stressed , stress free, bored not bored, hungry, full up, cold, hot, happy, sad u name it I eat :( x

flootshoot · 14/02/2013 07:35

I don't really eat because I'm stressed/bored/ for comfort. I just really really like food!! wisekneehair, do you mean you can't see my diary or my eating habits aren't that weird?? Yesterday was fairly normal I think...

Chopstheduck · 14/02/2013 09:11

lissy I tried it once and nearly collapsed! It has lots of star jumping, prob not good after a back op x

cinnamongreyhound · 14/02/2013 09:46

Yes twinkle183, that's always been my problem that I am an emotional eater. I have also in the past eaten too much but mainly I eat when bored (mostly stopped that now), sad or stressed and definitely when I'm tired. I have learned how to cope with it a bit better and to eat less at those times but I think it will always be a struggle!

Morning everyone. Another fast day for me......

Pinkglow · 14/02/2013 10:49

Added loads of the newbies (although I'm abit of a newbie myself)

Its great when you can see what other ppl have done. DH doing lots of late shifts this week so I cant get to the gym and have been doing Jillian Michaels instead, I brought her box set off Amazon yonks ago and have been doing that.

Anyone have a target like a holiday? I'm going on holiday at the end of april with my family so I'm treating that as a mini target.
