I'm from Auckland, always nice to see another Kiwi

LOL Don't feel bad - we all had to ask this at some point along the way!! I still confuse people at work every now and then by saying "I had a great NSV yesterday!"

On the first of September my husband and I decided to give up drinking Coke Zero (and since we don't drink tea or coffee, that essentially meant we were giving up caffeine). Not such a big thing unless you realised just how much of this we drank (a LOT!) We had a week off work and decided to go cold turkey. 3 days of…

Looking fantastic - can really see the difference! Keep it up!

Awesome decision to make. You're more than 2 weeks in! Keep it going!

That's such a great change! Well done, keep it up! :)

Wow, look at you now! That last photo is stunning.

I really like that. Especially what you said about the healthy lifestyle shouldn't be thought of as abnormal. It's amazing how people don't think that way. Especially in the western world we're so attuned to seeing people who are technically overweight as "normal" and we see living and eating in an unhealthy way as…

Well done, you must feel fantastic!!

Wow, you look fantastic!

What a wonderful, beautiful and inspiring story! Thanks so much for sharing it.

Ashlie's right. I'm never exactly within my macros either - that's something you can work on changing later. For now just work on logging things and making small goals that are achievable and not too stressful. One of my friends LOVES chocolate - so she cut out some but still had a little bit each day within her calories.…

Always happy to have more friends. Feel free to add me but please message first!

Me please :)

That's a huge NSV!! Well done.

Everyone's said it - scales!! Both bathroom and kitchen. Also getting a good group of friends through the forum -very motivating to have your own cheering squad!! Took me a while to do this.

OMG you look amazing!!

and the real answer is... A fitbit is a device for tracking your exercise and calories burnt. You can get about 5 differnent types that do differing levels of things (check out the website, www.fitbit.com ). Most of them you wear on your wrist, and they will track your steps, distance, calories burnt and if you get a…

Absolutely love this. Cracked me up. :)

If I need a hit I buy a kitkat. That lasts me a minimum of 4 days with just one little stick a day! Well done for keeping it there - I'm VERY impressed!

Just turned over the calendar page for June. This is a family calendar where every year you have to provide a photo. The one of me and my hubby is from January (just before we started this). Damn!! We both look so much better now - wish we could change the photo!!

OMG I LOVE the forest idea!!! I'm so going to start doing that!!! (Also the squats...)

Diet plans don't work for everyone. Maybe just concentrate on staying under your calorie goal instead of doing the fasting - doesn't sound like it works for you! :) After all, the basis of weight loss always comes down to CICO (Calories In, Calories Out).

I absolutely love the "I will beat her" quote!! That's so inspiring.

Wow, what a difference! You're doing great.

OMG you look AMAZING! And how great to reach that goal just before your wedding - you must be over the moon!

You look amazing - especially in that last picture. Well done!!

LOVE my fitbit. I have a charge HR - its such a buzz (pun intentional) when you get your goal!! (karensuegill - this is because your fitbit vibrates to let you know when your reach whatever step count you set for your goal)

That is a fabulous achievement!! You should feel SO proud of yourself.

Well done!! Isn't it great to realised the change that can happen so quickly? Very proud of you.
