Weirdly this has actually been working a treat for me. The part in the article about the "Last Chance Syndrome" made me laugh because i've suffered from that so many times. telling myself well i better eat all the chocolate, cake and smarties(my absolute favourites!) now because i'm not eating them ever again once i start…

I'm 5'7' and have a 1200 daily limit.... Am I to tall for this to be doing me any good?

Dont make bad snacks easily available, i LOVE chocolate LOOOOOOVE it I was buying like "family" sized blocks and trying to kid myself that i'd only eat 1 serve a day....I really ended up eating the entire block in a day! What I did was i just 'trained' myself to go without. I stopped buying the family blocks and started by…

I did it and I did see some pretty decent results. like i actually saw definition of muscles and stuff and my endurance levels and strength levels improved dramatically (then I copped quite a severe ankle injury, not related to exercising just from being clumsy and falling over which put me out of action for months! :( )…

when I added up what was a 'typical' day for me i was really really shocked at how much I was actually eating like i could easily rack up 1000-1500 calories a day just from chocolate! thats not even counting the other food I was eating along with it. I was surprised by the amount of calories the "lite" milk i drink has in…

A co-worker turned to me today and said "I just learnt the most amazing thing today" obviously i said "oh what?!" her response....... "If you switch to a gluten free diet you can lose a TONNE of weight! I'm going to try it for sure!!" I tried to tell her that unless you actually have an intolerance condition switching to a…

You either want to do this or you don't, the reality is if you want to really be in control of what youre taking in each day you are going to have to weigh....everything! Yes it can be tedious yes it can be boring but you've just got to stick with it, if you want this to work you have to accept that yeah the weighing…

I work with a girl who is quite badly overweight, she's made some steps towards getting healthier, she joined a gym we were talking about dieting and stuff the other day and i asked her how she was going and she said "Oh your lucky you lose weight I'm doing alright, but it can be kind of depressing though like i go the gym…

Except for the poultry that is like a list of all my least favourite foods...no wonder i struggle to reach my protein %

I have Sundays off work so i normally use that day to make/plan my meals for the coming week. I make a lot of stir-frys mostly with chicken and some sort of stir through stiryfry sauce. I also just really like vegetables so often i'll just eat a few things of corn and some broccoli 9/10 i'll just use the frozen veggies…

I use to be all into the "pro-ana" side of things when i was younger. I did the "skinny girl diet" or the "ABC diet" http://25.media.tumblr.com/7a827655a129faf104f67fe51ceb5a41/tumblr_myfkzs6G9U1rp792jo1_500.png I also use to eat only 2 cans of baby food a day that was ...interesting I also use to only eat broth type soup…

Thanks so much you guys! :) It's nice to post a question on here and get actual answers not just people saying 'no no no!' I just find that on the days where i have to go to work early i either go without food which makes getting through work a struggle and then i have to fight not to just binge on anything to make the…

personal preference mate, I sometimes eat salad just as a meal by itself, other times i have it along with whatever i'm eating sometimes not at all. As long as you keep the salad helathy and limit the amount of (potentially) fatty salad dressing used you can have it whenever

I usually just double bra the ladies and that keeps them from roaming free. I did the 30 day shred with all its star jumping fun and I didn't knock myself out so yeah that worked wonders for me :)

I can't believe someone else has the same obscure goal as me! :smiley: I was in Japan for xmas/new years and i was absolutely blown away by the amazing fashion they have over there, but I didn't fit into a single thing it was torture! I'm going back there next year and I'm determined to make up for not being able to fit…

Your posts really boosted my spirits I would like to lose about 15kgs in 3 months I have an event in October I would love to be in shape for and we're a similar height (im a bit taller) I know everybody's journey is different but just seeing the exact thing I hope to achieve has been done is really helpful :) Hopefully…

My "Aha! moment" is actually kind of grim. After YET ANOTHER job application rejection I was just in a bad place and felt miserable about myself and my life and i can remember just kind of saying to myself one day "OK your life sucks, your job sucks, you're fat, you can't change the first 2 things but the one thing you can…

Yeah I'm 102kg on the dot. I know my BMI is bad and that yes I'm classed as obese given my height and weight but that's what I meant by not looking as big as I should at least I don't to me. If I was a few inches shorter and the same weight I'd probably look like the side of a house but as I am now I don't.

They did say "before you eat anything and you will lose weight" So I'm off to find Popeye's supplier and a KFC Family bucket...I'll eat the spinach then the chicken and just watch the fat vanish before my eyes....
-
oh cool thanks you guys! I just sort of made the assumption that yeah Red = BAD! I guess i just never really paid to much attention to this part when i set everything up. But as long as it's not a negative thing I'll just stick with what im doing :)

I was going to come on here and say how i like being tall, but at 5'7 Im a short *kitten* compared to you guys xD Even though I am over weight I like my body shape I have a small waist and long legs and i find having a bit of height means I can carry off more styles, my best friend is tiny (weight wise and height wise)…

I buy those like 'share pack' 'family pack' bags of chocolates you know the sort i mean? like the mini versions of chocolate bars, instead of eating a full sized chocolate bar for about 300cals to get my chocolate fix i can just eat one of those little chocolate bars for 50cals it helps curb my chocolate cravings and helps…

I've always really liked working dog breeds and I've always wanted an Australian Shepherd or a Blue Heeler, but they need a lot of exercise I hope to be fit enough one day (and have my own house with a yard of course) to have one and be able to jog daily to keep both me and my doggy fit and healthy :) I know I'd be so much…

When I'm finding myself struggling I say to myself "Amy, you @#%$ing #@$%& this summer do you want to be FIT or Jealous?(as in being jealous of all the "skinny" girls wearing nice clothes and looking flawless while I'm stuck wearing shapeless maxi dresses and sweating like a baked ham in the heat) I kind of chant that to…

As i said in my OP I get that this kind of "motivation" isn't for everyone but (and this is just my opinion here so you know don't get all mad...is that even a thing that happens? do people get mad at others for sharing their opinion on the internet? I doubt it, that sounds so crazy) sometimes people need to just harden up…

I recently came across these "coconut chips" in my supermarket, theyre basically just a bag of crispy coconut flakes but oh god they're tasty! they taste just like a bounty bar except a bounty has nearly 300cals these are like 120 for the whole bag!! I also like to have chocolate yoghurt in my fridge its good for when i…

I find thats why its a good thing to have like pre-packaged meals handy. Some days i just cant be bothered weighing out every single ingredient I use. If i eat a pre-packaged meal though the calorie content and stuff is already all accounted for....even if its something junky like a microwave pizza you know exactly what…
