Hi Anastasia, need help here first day back , would love to add some new friends for accountability and advice, rachel from NZ

ha ha i did the same thought I was 5 ft 7 all my adult life turns out I am 5' 9! luky for me more calories, and a more realistic weight goal... I thought i had to be 130lbs which would be skeletal on my frame. hurrah weight goal now 150lbs.

you look soo cute . well done!

I think it helps to loose weight in the sense that you are unlikely to "over eat" dark chocolate, chocolate is a major downfall in a lot of peoples diets because its just so damn good, I had bad chocolate habit ... but if you switch to dark chocolate and tired to eat a massive block of it you would feel really sick. I…

Hi Orphia, can I please ask you your starting weight\height and calorie quota? I looked your diary in June and you have been having a good amount of calories and still loosing, I am 5ft 9 and weighed originally 98kg I am now 87Kg :) aiming for a goal weight of 70kg -75kg I have lost 11kg over 8 weeks (1200 -1400 cal eating…

amazing! so happy for you and inspired. :)

Get out the tape measure you might be surprised, also holding water due to muscle repair? Or due to menstruate. These things all make me gain and I get really upset also to the point of derailing, But I get out the tape measure and I usually see a half inch loss on my tummy.

You are still recovering from your birth, the pressure to loose weight after having a baby so soon is crazy, go for brisk walks with the pram, and eat clean but nutritious, if you are having broken sleeps that may be hindering your progress and it might not get better for a while, try to get rest especially in the…

Hello friend request sent , Ive got 40lbs to lose but have already lost 10lb

Yay great work!!!!! You should be so proud, We have started around the same time, funny how you begin to realise how much of this is mental will power. You are getting a much cuter shape.

I have been noticing that I am really tired on days that I exercise in the mornings, I get a great adrenalin rush after and then i am flat. I have just had all my bloods done and they are normal.... so i think its just quite normal.

I would say that you were active! Breastfeeding takes a huge amount of energy, remember to rest in the afternoons it helps your milk Supply. Speaking from experience.

I am 5 8" and currently doing between 1200 and 1400 calories to lose I started at 98kg and am now 86Kg over roughly 8 weeks, but only seriously the last 5. Thats been fast weight loss and I expect it to slow, I know know some folks will say TOO FAST but I feel good and eat for nutrition. my goal is 70kg or 150lbs

I go sugar free now in my tea/coffee... no honey/sugar dates on my oats and watch out for sugar in yogurt, it has really reduced my cravings for sweet treats which would derail me, I can taste the sweetness of sweet potatoes now. And bitter chocolate has become my treat! Its working! and saving my teeth! Sugar has hormonal…

Thank you for sharing, amazing achievement picking yourself up and getting healthy during such a stressful time is a real mark of your bravery. So happy your wee girl is doing well.

Yay, you are an inspiration as I have the same stats. 5"9 and started around 210lbs so motivating to see you at my goal. Very cute clothes too.

I am sure that brown rice has more B vitamin so and defiantly also fibre.

Caught up in a fad? GMO IS A FAD!!!!! that will have permanent uncertain changes in our enviroment, I live In a framing community, just this winter many folks swapped for GMO stick feed seeds for the winter , now many houndreds of cattle in my are are dying on this new " pesticide resistant high yield seed" the framers are…

Generally I would trust that organic growers are not using synthetic insecticides and sustainable growing practices and do not use GMO seed.

I have dropped wheat because of the unknown seed origin and sprays used in growing and production, Orgains grains are harder for me to source and extremely expensive in NZ, I have not gone gluten free, still eat organic oats and other grains , but I have had significantly less joint pain, no indigestion which i was…

I have only just started exercising again, I think that the Fitness Blender low Impact Cardio for beginners (on you tube ) 30 mins. is a great way to really begin to work out, mix that in with walking, and a beginner yoga session a week. I brought a cross trainer and I am loving that too, will work out cheaper than a gym…

I add chia seed and a tablespoon of coconut flour whilst cooking Incredibly filling. I would love all those sweet toppings but i dont think i can at this early stage of my weight loss goal.

So glad that you are healing, thankyou fir the inspirational sharing of your story, well done.
