I had a lovely breakfast in the works canteen this morning: 2 Dry Toast 3 Scoops Baked Beans (Equivalent to a large tin) 1 Egg on the top!

Thanks for suggesting this SpiritSong! I was on the forum way back in 2004/2005, and had a lot of success. I lost 2+ stone (>28lbs) back then, and got to my lowest weight of my adult life: 11st 10lbs (164lbs). I left because - OOOO! Shiny!!! I came back because I'm heavier than ever at 15st 2lbs (21...

RIGHT ON!! I loved this statement: Seriously? It's hard to "only" eat three nourishing meals a day? I'm back onto NoS after a lengthy absence, but I distinctly remember feeling 'peckish' in times past, counting down the minutes to my next meal, and then thinking, "Stop being a wuss Dave! There are k...

This is a really interesting thread. It was something I always struggled with. My own techniques for handling it are: 1. Have a drink 2. Take a walk. Seriously. I don't know if it is psychological - it simply takes my mind off feeling peckish - or biological - the sudden demand for energy causes fat...

There was a minor incident with a couple of strings of spaghetti

Hi Deb! This midnight hunger thing sounds tricky. I'm glad that when I go to bed I just SLEEP for 7 hours straight! Maybe you culd have a 'sweet' drink (Vimto!) or some fruit near your bed. That way you don't go into the kitchen and and get tempted by other stuff. I know that it's not an 'official' ...

Hi Angela! Welcome to the group. Thought I'd just say hello and chip in with a bit of unsolicited comments/advice/controversy. I know what you mean about wanting something 'extra' around 3 or 4pm.
