Harder to judge calorie burn from exercise. Also, I have limited time (between work and a long commute) to exercise away 600-700 calories a day, as I believe 600-700 calories of exercise would be at least 90mins of something, as you need to factor in that calorie burn even with a HRM is never accurate. Garmin said I burnt…

My gym has asked me to submit some before and after photos and a story, they want to put me on their facebook page as an inspiration... I'm still not at goal weight yet!

I know a couple like that! Actually the boys tend to agree this guy is a bit of a "feeder", and yeah he could lose a few himself. But that is their choice and does not affect me. My guy brings a lamington home for me occasionally (about 215 calories) but he also sees my training patterns and tends to put things in front of…

There have been a number of contestants shuffled off to hospital during filming (at least in Australia). I think some have not been able to come back on at all as a result. Thank god all my friends and family are smart and realise that weight loss takes longer. I ditched the ones who believe otherwise, inclusive of those…

Some friends of mine have said they feel like that will happen if they run too soon after having a baby :dizzy: My only problem is the back passage LOL. I love immodium before going for a run.

Yup, I tell you one slice of fresh baked bread never ends up being one slice....or without butter. Like potatoes, they seem to attract sour cream and cheese. Not sure how it got there. I will stick to meat and salad or steamed veggies thanks! (it also allows room for the super mega dark chocolate, which helps the soul and…

I found removing it allows me to eat more protein and vegetables (and feel fuller for longer) bread just ends up making me hungry 30 mins later.

I consider it a drink. The only drink calories I take in are sugar/electrolytes when doing triathlons or alcohol when celebrating another triathlon :)

1. Keep your electrolytes in check, low carb can screw with sodium levels, I use either Powerade Zero or High-5 Zero tabs, I found I was getting grumpy and tired without it in check. 2. Smart carbs like bananas and fruit are ok, bananas power my workouts. 3. Research has found anything less than 150 grams is still low…

Thankfully I do the shopping. I skip most aisles apart from spices, soft drink and cleaning. The soft drink is sugar free. If he wants anything he has to get it himself. I cook one meal, if he needs extra calories then we pop on some rice, as I am low carb, which has resulted in easier weight loss. He has been fat before…

Weekends do not make a difference, it is social occasions that do. If I host I can control the food, if I am a guest, then I just do the best I can and remain human, so I have a glass or two of bubbly and some snacks. I also have certain times off completely, but this is when I am having a big racing weekend where I will…

It also takes about 2 weeks for your taste buds to change. I ate healthy for 2 weeks (salad, protein, low carbs mainly as they don't fit in the calorie allowance) then one Friday I bought a piece of chocolate cake (I had an Olympic distance triathlon the next day, so a load/treat) could not finish it, was sickly sweet. I…

I'm starting to get it on my belly :( I'm worried I will start to look like Dr Zoidberg without his shell soon.

I am a 12 or 14G/H depending on brand - I have a Elomi Energise sports bra, which has a J hook - so you can turn it into a racer back (more support) . I went to a specialty shop to get fitted.

Well that explains it. I cannot make my fingers meet without breaking my wrist. I have broad shoulders, wide hip bones and am at least a half foot taller than my mother and sister, if not more. No wonder I look like a freak in the triathlon world!
