Honestly I don't think its the salad dressing thats killing that salad. Those salad packages have the croutons right? and the egg, then often some kind of pasta or potatoes.. those are the things adding up. The egg alone is around 100, and the potatoes or the pasta are also killing. You can eat salad, just make it…

I don't know what came over me, but last week, after I fell on my face doing W4D2, I decided to try something else. I put in a run for 30 minutes and decided to see how far I got. I ran, and I think I just skipped over the other 4 weeks of the program. I ran for 30 minutes, without stopping, pace was 7 min/km. Two days…

I am the kind of fat that is in my head. I am fat in my head when I sit down and slouch in my chair, and then mostly around my midsection and my thighs. I am the kind of fat that only really happens when someone who I care about what he/she thinks looks at me. I am the kind of fat that I worry about when I wear a swimsuit.…

I've been doing around 1500 daily now for a month or 3. My days look a bit like this: Breakfast - Either bread (2 slices), 1 with meat topping and 1 with peanut butter (+/- 300 - 400 cal) or sweetened yoghurt with muesli and fruit (+/- 300 calories) Lunch - Salad (today is goatcheese with honey and walnuts!) or soup and…

Ouch, both sound very painful! I'm glad I am not alone though! The route I was running was just ending and I had to cross a street with traffic. I looked up, missed a small part of the pavement, and I went flying. I guess I just lost balance? For the future I will try to run on softer ground as much as possible haha Ouch!!…

I tried to be sporty this morning and got up at 6AM to get my run in before going to work. I don't know what happened but I lost balance at some point and smacked into the concrete sidewalk :) My hands are completely scraped open and my knees are even worse. There was blood and dirt everywhere - guess I won't be running…

Hi, I'm Natasja! 24 y/o, lost about 5kg and looking to lose around 5 more. It would be lovely to connect with some of you!

Im grateful that even though I am going out for dinner, at least it takes me 40 minutes by bike to get there.

I just started a martial arts class, and it is kicking my butt. I haven't worked out in YEARS and am obviously the worst and the slowest in the class. Making it worse: we do everything in 'lines' so they have to wait for me to finish my round, which I found very embarrassing at first. But to be honest, when I spoke to the…

"if you work out less than 30 minutes it will not help because you won't start burning carbs until then." Oh I see, I am burning carbs you say? and my body keeps time? Let me take notes.

NSV # 1 My former boss who left to Korea about half a year ago visited here this week. He saw me and just exclaimed: "You lost weight!!" It's only been a few kilos so I was very happy to know it shows anyway :) NSV # 2 I ran for 15 minutes yesterday. Was dying for it to be over but I DID IT. I am still amazed every time I…

I had this question myself not too long ago. Honestly I couldn't think of a single sport I would enjoy doing, so basically I picked whatever they offered at my gym which seemed the 'least amount of suck' to me. That worked! I am now doing 4 hours of Wushu every week. I didn't even know what that was a month ago. Also, I…

At our canteen they sell little packages with spreads for your bread. I checked one, and it said in big letters 114 CALORIES. Obviously, these were already in portion sized packaging so its logical to assume this 114 to be for the entire thing (which was tiny). Checking the bottom, in the smallest print they could muster…

You are all eating so clean! It's inspiring :) It almost makes me feel bad for filling up those last 200 calories with chocolate (almost.)

I worked out so hard yesterday, I couldn't even put on socks properly this morning. I was scared to death to go to this Wushu class by myself, but I went and I had fun! A girl there, couldn't have been more than 50Kg herself, and she called me SKINNY! "But you are so skinny!" I was stunned

What is up with people suggesting someone needs help when you're at a healthy weight and want to lose weight? A healthy weight range can be up to 10kg or bigger.. If this person wants to lose weight and isn't underweight, they can. I could probably drop below my healthy range based on BMI, because I don't have much muscle…

As they said, when you feel that you're close to giving up, eat at maintenance. Maybe just have that one dessert you've been craving. Hell, if you have to, go over for a day. Eat until you're super full. But the idea is: enjoy it, and then come back to MFP and the counting. Make it a one day thing and then just, continue,…

1280 + exercise calories Female, 173cm (5' 8"), 65kg (143lbs)

I made the decision to join a gym <--- VERY big one for me.

When it got really bad, I would just go to sleep. I know this sounds super depressing (and it kind of is) but you cannot eat when you are sleeping so that takes care of that..

Just for today, I will: 1) Drink at least 3 750ml bottles of water 2) Cycle to work and back, even when it is raining 3) Do at least 30 minutes of workout

Yesterday evening, I had a salad while my roommate had a pizza. And despite the pizza smelling amazing, I had my salad and I was full after :) I had enough calories left for some chocolate so that made up for some of my pizza-mourning but still, I am proud :)

People have told me before that I was 'too skinny'. I am by no means too skinny, and I think the reason was that they were used to seeing me the way I was before. They would never dream of saying that to someone who has always been skinny. Don't listen to them as they do not decide for your what is an appropriate weight…

Remember that no matter how badly you fall of the bandwagon, this does NOT take away your progress from before! Look your guilt in the eyes, experience it for what it is, and then decide to continue the way you were going before. When I have cravings, I try to do a workout first to 'earn' my cheat. So if I want chocolate,…

What people don't tell you about losing weight is that when you are already in a healthy weight range when you start your diet, everyone is going to have an opinion about how you should look. Within a healthy weight range you can easily lose 10Kg (22 pounds) and really look and feel much better about yourself, but since…

I finally got myself to do some workouts. Even though it was inside the house, and only 30 minutes at a time, I did something! I hope that I will continue now that my roommate is back from holiday, so there will be someone to see me being idiotic while trying to do cardio/kickboxing..

I think I needed to hear that.. Thanks :)

Thank you both! That already makes me feel a lot better about next week. Sound advice too, I think I'll have a look at the hotel's work out room!

1. Drink at least 3 x 500 ML in water .. 2. Go for a walk during lunch 3. Do not go over calories! DO NOT CHEAT with exercise you kind of didn't really do 4. and do NOT eat the apple pie they are baking at the office :(

I went to work by bike, even though it was raining :) (mainly because I just want a dessert tonight, but hey, it's something)
