Thanks all. I manage well on 1200 but yesterday just got the better of me after I had my meds, these meds are half the reason why I have come here with the need to loose because I have to take them with food and then not too long after I get reflux like symptoms and nothing other than food especially heavy foods like…

We are in the process of shifting so I won’t be able to weigh in for 2 weeks so I will wait until after shifting before I weigh again. My scales are flat so I have to use the in-laws when we visit them, I can become scale/ weight obsessed so thought I’d better avoid using my own. The only things that have changed is my…

I weigh on a Sunday morning weekly and during my 16hr fast so on a pretty empty stomach. Yeah that’s what I thought but my weight has suddenly stalled. Im hoping it’s a coincidence that my weight stalled when I decided to up my Sunday calories because mentally I feel better allowing myself the extra calories.

My in-laws are vegan and claim they are eating clean but they sure ain’t. Iv read the packaging on their vegan meats, cheese etc and it’s so processed and full of sugars and fillers. In my opinion clean eating is eating whole unprocessed foods like a variety of meats, veges and fruits, grains and raw dairy. I don’t really…

Thanks for the kind words. I’m hoping as my weight loss progresses I’ll become more confident and grow a backbone. I’m 5kg down, 20 to go!

1: I love the wild outdoors, I would live in the wild if I could! 2: I admire honest and kind people that are not judgmental

Thanks all, it’s Easter so iv splashed out today, counted calories for all my food and half my treats and was still under my days calories but I ended up eating an extra serving of chocolates which would have taken me over. Not going to stress about it since I only managed 700 calories yesterday (I ate heaps it was just…

Hi I’m 27 with arthritis in my hip and knees, I have Ankylosing Spondylitis. For me biking and swimming are great and I find if I do exercises in the pool I don’t end up as sore in my joints, I do a lot of hiking too but I pay for it afterwards. I was doing physio but it didn’t help me.

Okay, I think he can choose better in the celebrity crushes department but his choice not mine lol. [/quote] A better celebrity crush than Gal Gadot ??? His celebrity crush isn’t gal gadot lol it’s Lady Gaga. I don’t know what’s gone wrong with my reply not coming up right....

Dark hair, blue green eyes and an Irish accent 🤣 I definitely like a guy with some face hair but not too much.

Why do I feel like iv done this to you 😂

Accept!

Guys... when you see a chicks married, does it put you off? I’ve been told by a few people that guys don’t care when they see a wedding ring 🤷‍♀️

Iv done 30,000 in 5 hours while working nights at a stud farm. I have arthritis so I was near crawling by the end from sore knees and pelvis but if I had taken pain relief I would have been fine.

It doesn’t look very pretty so I won’t add a photo but I made a 2kg shepherds pie. 4 servings come in at 510cal each. Super filling. Made with beef mince, carrot, mushrooms, tinned tomatoes, seasonings, potatoes, butter, milk, cheese and garlic. I Might try a lighter version without beef mince and just use lots of…

Sometimes I’ll create a recipe, I’ll weigh the chicken raw and log the weight and add any additives that I’ll be using such as oil or onions, spices etc and then I’ll choose the number of serves I want from it. Then once cooked I’ll weigh it again and divide the weight into portions because the weight changes from raw to…

Thanks all, I tried making them up with water and they were below average, added some banana and still average. Made one up today with half full fat milk and water and it kept me satisfied for 3 hours. I think it will be best for when I’m on the go or if I got that 3pm slump.

Thanks all. I’m having a really s****y day so I didn’t really say what I wanted to haha. I’m more wondering if people found replacing meals with shakes satisfying enough. It will be a short term thing maybe a month and then breakfasts during the week likely long term

Red meat is great! So many people hate it. Our body’s can tolerate red meat in almost any form including raw. I don’t see anyone doing well off raw chicken 🤷‍♀️

Halseys you should be sad! That *kitten* gets me so motivated!

Thanks Nony_Mouse, the thins are still available on online shopping but I haven’t seen them for a while. I looked at low carb bread but it was really high in calories. I need bread there’s only so much lettuce I can eat haha. My calories are set to 1500 but I’m eating around 1200 comfortably. The peaches and Greek yoghurt…

Agree with mike, I feel fuller eating things like steak, if I have bacon or steak for breakfast I feel so much better throughout the day. I also look how I’m spending my calories, I could have a whole bowl of broccoli for the same amount of calories as a tablespoon of mayo, I know which one is healthier and will keep me…

Sooooo many! Garlic bread, cheese, lots of dairy, pies basically anything high in calories 😂

I have 5

Thanks for the reply’s. I’ll give it a few more weeks. It’s not very cool seeing the scale go up .2 one day, .1 the next and .3 another day etc and kind of had me panicked. It just seemed like a steady increase.

I do have pms symptoms for about 2 weeks prior to pms so am dealing with that. I suppose that could affect it also?

Today is day 7 and iv actually only gained a kg all up. But I would have assumed 1400 calories is enough to still be loosing at a steady rate. I log everything correctly and weight it all. I’m doing 10k steps a day and have a very physical farm/horse job. I’m 168cm, 86kg.

I’m in NZ from the mighty Waikato! I’m a 25yo female. Trying to loose 16kg to help manage my ankylosing spondylitis symptoms and get more active and healthy in general
