Missed yesterday so had to do 50s today. My poor arms were definitely shaking by the end!

Survived day 3. It was really hard work! Plus I did it in my jammies so the chesticles were hanging low. Glad no one was around to witness it! :p

So far it is Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon And... Bacon

Woop woop made it through day two. It was pretty hard though! Bring on day three!

I was inspired so did some googling i can get the same brand for $7NZD so probably not that bad.

I am so jealous of the stuff you guys can get. In NZ it is super expensive to get anything outside the ordinary. Guess at least we have awesome meat and dairy!

I find straight arms like that WAY easier than the elbow version.

I suck at planking so much, but I'm in. Reckon day one will be fine, the rest not so much.

Wow, this is super random. I should have pms by now and be eating ALL the candy in the world but I have only been craving bacon. I thought I was super weird!

I used to work a bit in rehab and with back problems, depending on what the issue was it is often related to core strength. I like to swim so I go to the pool a couple of times a week. I do some aqua aerobics type classes but there are loads of people who walk laps in the water. Really low impact but high resistance!

I try to stay under a hundred as well. Generally I am closer to 50g but I find that I can't eat bread or pasta or anything like that as it seems to trigger sugar cravings. I like to use most of my carbs on fruit and veg anyway. Love my fruit! If you don't have any issues with those foods and enjoy them then I don't see an…

Awesome!!

Awesome thanks so much everyone!

I generally just ignore my list but did go through at new year and delete anyone that hasn't logged in for six months or longer. Although, there are some that I am more friendly with that I keep in the hopes that they will come back.

Thanks @nvmomketo. I see loads of recipes I want to try but some have a lot of sweetner in. Bit nervous about awaking the sugar fiend inside me. Will try a half amount and see how I go.

Yum!!!! Ginger crunch was one of my fav sweet foods so this might fill the gap. Do you guys find that sweetners give you sweet food cravings at all? I haven't wanted to make anything with sweetner just in case.

Yip, I'm interested as well.

Hey, I'm from Napier. Feel free to add me guys. Looking forward to a nice hot summer!

We tend to bulk out meals with cheap items as much as possible. Shop in season for your fruit and veg. In summer we go through seriously at least 3 cucumbers a week which is fine when they are under a dollar each but they are now nearly $5! so off the list. There is a great FB page…

I'm in NZ so I don't think we can even get pepper spray? I usually go out early in the morning. Hubby knows what route I am on and I stay in my neighbourhood where I recognise a lot of people and houses so I know which doors I could knock on at 5am and feel better if I was concerned. I have my phone shoved down between two…

I exercise at 5:15 so I just get up and leave without eating. I find that if I eat I feel sick, plus I don't normally have breakfast until nearly 7 most days. Doesn't seem to have any negative affect on me. I run though, might be different if you are doing weights etc.

This. I found that I got sore knees for a while, I got new shoes and started doing a few squats etc and then really thinking about the way I was running and all good now.

I am a daily weigher (I know, I shouldn't do it! But I like to see how much it can change) Anyway, the day my period starts is often a really low weight day for me then it increases over the week then goes back to a more normal weigh a day or two after it finishes. I usually don't hit that really low weight again for a…

My iphone is in a wallet type thing with my ID and some cash, I just tuck it all in between my sports bra and the crop top I wear over it (then there is a singlet and shirt over that) It never even moves so pretty safe to say it isn't going anywhere and is pretty obvious as well. I had never heard of a roadID though so off…

You can type in breastfeeding into the food diary and it comes up with loads of different options. You might need to add more than 280 if you are feeding more than a couple of times a day. I am nursing my nearly 18 month old still but he only has one feed in the morning so I have just stopped adding calories for that.…

I started with walking. Got some good shoes fitted which made a huge difference. Then I started with just walking around the block, when that got easy I graduated to walks around the neighbourhood. Now most days I take the kids and we walk around 6km. Now that I am a bit fitter I am finding adding other exercise a lot…

I have recently bought an Enell sports bra. I was soooo over spending more time dealing with bra straps and flapping boobs that exercise was just pi$$ing me off instead of making me feel better. So now I wear the Enell, with a crop top type sports bra over the top and then my singlet has built in boob support so those…

I love water! But then our water tastes really good where I live so maybe that is why? Try it different ways, I like mine super cold and prefer drinking from a bottle over a glass (no idea why!) You don't have to drink a whole glass at a time. You can just fill a bottle and sip from it from time to time. If you try and…

I'm only 5'9" so not sure if that counts as tall (my hubby is 6'6" so I always feel like a shorty) I have a lot to lose as well, sigh. Would love some more friends around my height. Feel free to add me.

Our town tap water is pretty yummy. It comes from an aquifer so no gross taste. I like it cold so it goes in a bottle in the fridge. It would suck to not be able to drink water straight from the tap!
