 dawnrosie 12 years ago | thats about all im eating tho 🙁 |
 Harbourview 12 years ago | I agree dawnrosie, I envy you thinking its OK to eat toast. I haven’t eaten toast for weeks now. |
| dawnrosie 12 years ago | agree Harbourview cup measurements are just so confusing, not that im using any yet, difficult to measure toast in a cup lol |
| Harbourview 12 years ago | Firstly, the ‘Trim Down Club’ originated in America so it is their measurement we should abide by. Secondly, we are doing this system because we all want to looose weight. So, in my opinion, we should abide by the smaller measurement first. However it would be most helpful if the club dispenced with measurements that are not clear and start dealing only in pounds and ounces. |
| dawnrosie 12 years ago | maybe they use bigger cups elsewhere Jackiee? Would explain a lot of the worlds weight problems lol |
 jackiee 12 years ago | Cntwall, interesting question and hope maybe one of the trim down clud nutritionist can help here (Ossie Maybe?). I agree with Dawnrosie, I always thought a cup measurement was 4oz \ 112grams, but I’m originally from the UK (old school measurements) and Dawnrosie is also from the UK (glad your taking the slowly approach by the way 🙂 ). However I also know the US cup measurement is 8oz too (Chia, sure your from the US 🙂 . Big difference there, so maybe Trim Down Club could clarify what a cup measement on this program is based on. I wonder if Seaborn, R2b2, or Kelz have a different take on a cup measement in Australia? However, when my menu planner says a cup of something, I measure a uk t-cup, because (as I throw a big spanner in the works) wouldn’t it depends what your weighing, for example a cup of freshly chopped parsley would weigh a lot less than a cup of cooked pasta or rice. Fingers crossed someone at the trim down club reads these posts and can clarify a little on measurements. Hope you all have a great day everyone, or afternoon, or evening depending where you all are ;-D |
| jackiee 12 years ago | Goodmorning all, Thanks you Chai and r2b2, today is starting better. I do know healthy eating will help balance me a bit but I do have as the dr said extreme PMS, never 2 months the same, no matter what supplements I’ve tried. Anyhow avoided a big binge so that was one thing at least. Glad it’s cooler for you r2b2 and that it stays that way for a bit. Welcome aboard Mrs Neighbors and Njo22, good luck on your personnel challenges. Have fun on the plan and getting to know this site. |
 CHIA 12 years ago | JACKIEE — I hope your tomorrow is a blessed one 🙂 |
| CHIA 12 years ago | A CUP MEASUREMENT IS 8 OUNCES. |
| dawnrosie 12 years ago | I think that would be about 2oz a cup being about 4oz I believe? |
 cntwall 12 years ago | Question for anyone, what do they mean by a slice of stuffing? 1/2 cup? |
 franmel 12 years ago | I am a new member trying to develop reasonable menus & work around strange combos within a meal. That aside, I have made the spinach soup without the mint & cloves & it was good. However, where does “soup” fit into the plan i.e. as a substitute for a vegetable or as a “freebie?” |
 Njob22 12 years ago | Thank you! yup it definately takes a bit of time but I amm positive it will be worth it 🙂 |
| dawnrosie 12 years ago | hi Njob22,
you need to go to Apps first then Menu Planner and sort that out, select all the foods you like and are familiar with, this can take a bit of time to get right and you need to complete each section until the ticks turn gold. Once you have done that you will be on your way to a good start. Welcome and good luck, enjoy the cruise x |
| Njob22 12 years ago | I just signed up! its my first five minutes on here and i hope this is a good year to change things:) but I’m looking at everything and I am not sure where to look or start first. Any suggestions? |
