Im jealous! Its an hours drive if i want to go for a run on the beach!

Hi everyone!! I think we are few and far between! Aussies are too lazy for this i think hahaha

Aww thanks you guys so much! I think those ideas will definitely help me alot! Im going to give them a go! :)

Id reccomend having a google about taking measurements . 1kg loss is 0.9 cm off waist.

Same thats why I've tried and failed to only do it once a week ... but have noticed how obsessed with it i am. And how *kitten* i can feel if it isnt the number i want to see.

Im thinking about forgetting the bathroom scales too.. even though i just bought a new one..I think i might just try to focus on the way my body looks in the mirror and a bit of measurements. Theres an app that you can track your body measurements called mybody that I have.its definitely more time consuming though

@VictoriaTuel I totally agree with @sardelsa . On saturday I knew i would be drinking and catching up with friends that just got back from over a year long holiday... so i waited until then to eat anything and managed to go just 8 calories over maintenance... 9 drinks and partie pies and spring rolls included LOL

Coool

Most people would be well over if they ate the sort of foods we mean my fattening eg high calories.. that is why they are fattening. Jeesus christ. Also.. it is way past bedtime in Australia, so goodnight.

Thank you!! Yes, its not a precise definition.. but i didnt post that. usually with a little common sense its not that hard to understand. Lol

Well that didnt work.

[/quote] foods in general are not "fattening" ..[/quote] Right there.

Nice article, but the power of advertising is still very strong otherwise they wouldnt spend millions of dollars on it. We are however becoming much less susceptible to advertising like billboards and posters.. have a think about what advertisement billboard or sign you remember seeing today? Not many. Other forms of…

Well of course! 100%. But! The high calorie options are... fattening! But to say that there is no such thing as fattening is *kitten*.

No, you'd think so but no.. they rekon KFC isnt fattening.

Of course you can have delicious very high calorie salads. Just an example of a generally healthy food. Lets assume we are talking a 300Cal garden salad lolol.

I get it! I have read this several times. The thing is portion size is so small for the amount of calories you eat in a lot of the foods were talking about and thats partly what makes people put on weight. Therefore if its eaten regulary it is generally fattening for most people that dont think about the fact that they…

Ive been struggling with this for a while.. i have been using the formular above as ive found that neither Mapmywalk or pedometer are accuracte its much too high.. even when you assume it is calucluating gross calories and subtracting them !! using map my walk for the distance although its sometimes not accurate so i think…

Also the majority of people don't count their calories therefore eating more "fattening" foods like pizza and KFC will make most people gain weight. Therefore generally they are fattening. Thats why we have such a big problem with obesity because these foods are so readily available and heavily advertised.

Yes you can certainly argue that all foods can be fattening but you'd have to eat a shitload more chicken and salad than doughnuts to gain weight.

Yeah okay so donuts and maccas fries arent fattening, right? If we ate these every day we would most likely put on weight if you eat an apple every day obviously not. I think its a cop out the amount of people that say that sort of thing. *rolls eyes* Obviously you wont gain weight if you maintain a balanced diet and stay…

I have no problem with lactose but drink soy milk because I think it tastes better.

Because we live in a very fast paced and lazy society. And fattening foods are so easily and quickly available...... oh and the advertising we are subjected to.

Also interested in getting one but that does sound annoying. Would you be able to turn off the auto sinc? So that you can just input your steps?

Thanks for your advice everyone!

Pretty sure i do the 16 hour one without trying. Have dinner at 8:00 and then nothing till lunch at 12:00. I think it would be too hard for me to do any further than that.
