I find it hilarious that people ask me my secret and then when I say I count my calories by entering it into MFP, they tell me "oh no that's way too hard!"

Great work!!!!! Sorry I can't give you any form advice cause I'm certainly no expert. But I just wanted to say yaayyyy you great thing!!!! I'm currently squatting about 75kgs (165lbs) 3 x 5

I use lemon juice instead of salad dressing. Sliced up banana with milo sprinkled over it if I'm dying for something chocolate like.

Omfg that's incredible!!!!! Congratulations

I'm 5' and I'm eating 1500 calories per day. I'm losing slowly but surely. Only you know what works for you

Ps congratulations on your awesomeness too btw

My tip for when you eat peanut butter out of the jar? Put the jar on your scales. Tare it. Take out your spoonful. See what the negative grams are? Log it. My last spoonful of nutella was 7grams for example

Omfg I didn't even look at the date! Sorry guys

^^^^ don't yell! It's rude!! My program is the ELMM (eat less move more) or CICO (calories in calories out) A huge amount of programs are fads that aren't sustainable in the long term

My friend used to sell it. It tastes really sickly sweet and in my humble opinion it didn't really work for her so I couldn't see why I would buy it. Save your money and buy a food scale

I want to be like you one day. You are such an amazing inspiration! I've still got a good 15 - 20 kilos to lose yet but I can feel myself getting stronger. I can squat my body weight from 10kgs ago and I'm almost at 65kg deadlift. I love it! It's so empowering!! Being fit rocks!!!

Ps congratulations on your loss so far!!!!!!

Lift!! It's empowering and it's great for us!!! I would suggest starting with a structured program and go from there. Stronglifts is awesome. There are heaps and heaps of threads on it. Just search for it on the top of the page of the community section :)

I just realised how mean that sounded. I'm going to assume that you are waiting on an appointment with a specialist. Different people have different reactions to gestational diabetes. Some people need more sugary stuff, some need less. Some need medication, others don't. Please please please just wait until you've spoken…

I deliberately go to bed early to stop me raiding the fridge. But I also get up at 4 to go to the gym. So early betimes at good for me

I would suggest not looking for answers on the internet and speaking to your midwife. This is your unborn child you are risking by not seeking medical help yet

I do Pilates every Friday. It's not meditation but it's my relaxation and stretching time. I love stretching out after a long week. My mum used to go to a meditation class. I used to go with her sometimes. I miss that class

Oh I hear ya. If I could turn back time I think I would have told myself to stay away from all the take away foods and taught myself how to mealprep. You can do this! Moving in with a boyfriend is a major weight gainer. We get comfortable and life revolves around food. Well maybe that was just me lol.

Yep what those two said. It's hard work but if you put your mind to it and follow through with your plans then anything is possible

Looking good mate!!!!

Mate, if i was a guy and had a body like that, I'd take selfies ask the time too! I'm finally starting to see definition and I take about 75 million pictures as well Well done!!!!! :smiley:

Ps us nurses are going to be awesome!!!!! Good luck with your studies!!!!

I'm studying nursing atm. I go to school 3 days a week. Work 3 days a week. Then I meal prep and all my housework on my day off. I go to the gym at 4.30am every second day and walk with the kids each night after dinner. So far this year I've lost 12kgs. . All from pre logging on mfp. If I can do it, anyone can

I can do my shoelaces up without suffocating My hips have stopped hurting. I didn't realise they were hurting until they stopped. Telling people that I've lost weight and have them say "wow! I didn't realise you were that fat!" That kinda hurts. Other people who notice my weight loss accuse me of taking drugs or doing some…

Bahahahahaha

How??

I did the 24680 diet. I think I lasted 4 rounds on it before my boss caught onto what I was doing and told me that either I start eating properly or she would fire me (total bluff btw she told me ages later) I lost about 10kgs on that. For those of you who don't know what it is, 200 calories one day, 400 the next, 600, 800…

I've been doing a 4 30am workout every second day for the last little while. I love it!! It's a great invigorating way to start the day. But yes it can get really really hard to get up at that hour. I put my phone away from the bed so I have to actually turn the alarm off lol :lol:

Wow :astonished: Um she doesn't seem very nice. I'm trying not to take her literally. But I am proud of myself for my weight loss. I'm proud of the fact that I can deadlift and squat more than my before body weight. I didn't do it for anyone else besides myself and I certainly didn't do it to make her feel bad for being…

I've got my left thigh tattooed. I've lost almost 9cm off each thigh. So far the tattoo has done well. Actually it seems to have grown I know it hasn't lol. But as my thigh has shrunk the tattoo hasn't and it's slowly but surely wrapping it's way around. My rib tattoo hasn't changed at all. Calf muscle has done fine as…
