oh I forgot to tell you all, I went for a run yesterday. Managed about 6k, several stops, felt like a tough slog. Got home and ate four crackers with cheddar. I couldn't help it! I downed about a litre of squash to replace fluids and for a bit of sugar, but couldn't resist the cheese.

I will take on board the idea of planning exercise so it's right before dinner or lunch so I don't eat twice.

Oh, and GOOD NEWS. I am rejoining the gym on Tuesday! Have run through the finances with DP and we can afford it again, so Im going in and getting a 're-joiners' package which is only £35 a month, not bad. This means I can do classes during the day, including pilates which I desperately need for my back, which is screwed. Woop!! I am very excited. I am going to do at least four classes next week.

God I hate it when men say "I'm on a diet" and instantly drop a stone.

Bastards.

OH GOD dinky really!?!?

men always lose weight 'by accident' dont they? buggers. me thinks we notice and obsess too much

And NUTS to the NUTS embargo. A handful of nuts and raisins got me through many nights in the zone when I could easily have popped the bisuit tin lid.

Nuts are fatty yes but not bad for you if you only ahve a few. So ner. ( BETTER FOR YOU THAN FRIGGIN DIET COKE)

i think my birthday may be over.

See Su, that's why I'm on this thread. Tips like yours: eat dinner later. See, I always thought I should eat earlier (6pm would be my ideal, but DP doesn't get home till 7pm as it is) so by the time we eat it's usually 8ish and I stress about going to bed with a full stomach. But then of course, that gives me time to get slightly peckish around the time DP gets the cheese out. I think if we ate slightly later it would be better, as I would be still full from dinner and not want a late night snack. What also doesn't help is that DP gets up later than me, comes home later, goes to bed later, so we're on slightly different schedules/body clocks and it seems to be me that suffers/adapts (and scoffs)

Not sure my post just now makes much sense. Hopefully you know what I'm going on about

i find a cup of tea in my hand as the boys eat stops me snaffling food form them
then its busy busy till about8 - 8 30
then i eat ( havign put food in oven or part prepped it beofre)

then bed

IT MAKES NO DIFFERNECE WHAT TIME YOU EAT THAT IS AN URBAN MYTH

But I like us to eat as a family!!!

Unless you like having indigestion and a cockadoodle poo

What's a cockadoodle poo?

I have a labradoodle.

Does that count?

I eat later too. Half seven, eightish. Has made no difference to weight. And means I'm actually hungry when I eat, and so don't snack a few hours later. Not to mention it means I can actually eat in peace

oh we do family hell meals at w/e

we eat as a family too. I can think of nothing worse than STILL being in chore mode at 9pm

oh really Su? What happens if you eat a huge dinner at 12pm then go straight to bed? Is it digested slower? Is the only side effect indigestion?

oh fussy eaters here and they do blardy sport all year
we have cricket matched three times a week and trainign too

a cockadoodle poo is the urge to poo that wakes you up in the wee small hours

I don't do fussy eaters.

I tell them if they don't like it find another restaurant.

And I can't be doing with two sittings and two lots of pots.

And it's the only time we sit facing each other and not a screen/book.

So seven at the latest, usually.

nothing happens
if it DID all of teh south med would be vast - which they are not.
its al to do with how much energy you use up before
your body doesnt MORPH into something else at midngiht

Love cockadoodle poo.

Often have cockadoodle wees.

same here bobbie

Myth
Food eaten late at night is more fattening.

Fact
Many diets tell you not to eat after a certain time in the evening. They say the body will store more fat because it is not burned off with any activity.

A study at the Dunn Nutrition Centre in Cambridge suggests otherwise.

Volunteers were placed in a whole body calorimeter, which measures calories burned and stored.

They were fed with a large lunch and small evening meal for one test period, then a small lunch and large evening meal during a second test period.

The results revealed the large meal eaten late at night did not make the body store more fat.

It's not when you eat that's important, but the total amount you consume in a 24-hour period.

Lyndel Costain adds: 'It is true that people who skip meals during the day, then eat loads in the evening are more likely to be overweight than those who eat regularly throughout the day.

'This may be because eating regular meals helps people regulate their appetite and overall food intake.'

(that was to the eating thing not the early morning dump )

i didnt CHOOSE fussy eaters either
thanks a lot
Hurrumphs back off to do things
the fussy eating attitudes on mn really piss me off tbh

At least 3 night s a week I don't have dinner. I know! But dh is away\out loads, don't eat lunch till 3.30 (don't get time between work and sch run) then don't need to eat again. So I dont.
