Also the more lean you are the more efficient you are on the 'outward' side of the equation. The fitter your muscles are, the more effectively they can utilise that 1 calorie. An unfit person will lose a lot of calories in heat production. A very fit person will not. A fit person who is performing tasks their body is…

Not trying to be mean but what does granny drink? And does she ever visit anyone or eat a biscuit or two? Do you watch her down at the shop, and is she eating a cake and a coffee on supermarket day? You may know some of the basics of what she eats but you won't have factored in the perks. You certainly don't know how many…

Chiropractic fixes mechanical displacement. it's physics. If you have something like a spine, when it goes out of alignment, the shock absorbing function of the curve goes all to pot, and the spaces between vertebrae cause pinchings of nerves. The trick and the reason for the whippy methods, is to send that curve back into…

Question: why do people, when eating lovely, lovely junk food, always try to convince themselves that the delicious fatty goodness is something they don't like? Of course they love it! Come on guys, it's like committing adultery and saying you hated every minute. If you're going to sin ENJOY IT. Otherwise what's the point?

And further to that: you've got on there you want to lose over a hundred pounds. Give your husband a punch in the guts for trying to put you off your stride! Where is his head at? You could stop eating for a hundred days and still be fine. Actually, most people could. :p Humans as a species wouldn't have survived if they…

As a crabby old woman I have to ask: have you lost your mind? if it ain't broke don't fix it. Tell your hubby to get counselling if he's got problems. And ride the wave! Ride that bloody wave till it crashes. Don't jinx yourself, don't second guess yourself, just do what you do do so well.

Sometimes people don't want to ruin your juju by making weight comments. It's a well known fact that if you want someone to stop dieting and get fat again you just tell them how thin they look. their motivation disappears... they relax and BOOM ten ton tessie. Nay I jest but there's a bit of truth in there. When you hit…

If you're not in the habit of the stationery bike you can put 2kg of water on in your muscles just from shocking them into action. It's a good investment though - because over time that shock will die away. It just is a bit depressing looking at the scales and thinking you've got nowhere. You haven't got nowhere. You've…

I didn't used to but I do now. I've trained myself to eat breakfast so my tummy has got used to it.

Just looked at your diary. If i were eating that little i wouldn't poop more than once in 3 days. i'm going to give you the mummy advice. What we all get taught when we hav babies. 1. if the stool is soft there is no constipation. 2. it is normal to poop anywhere from once in seven days, to seven times in 1 day. 3. if it…

My dear you have an eating disorder - that doesn't mean anything major, it just means you have to go see the doctor and let him know about the closet eating and going into debt to buy junk food. You're having a personal crisis that is impacting on your eating. :) Don't worry too much but see what your doctor says, maybe…

Work out when you usually go every day, and don't go then. Either go when you've been or before you need to go. It'll be safe to go then, knowing you won't go. :D

I defy your bowels to disobey 1/4 cabbage, steamed to soften (so you can eat it all). I admit it's pretty staunch disobeying the kiwifruit, which indicates a bowel of ill will... but nothing can withstand the mighty motivational force of cabbage.

You are eating fine. just up your exercise a little and it will SLOWLY come off. question though: what do you weigh, how old are you, how tall? Maybe you are actually trying to get too thin?

I am at my height when I suppose I ovulate - 2 weeks before my period. I sit there till it starts and then boom, I go down 2kg. Over the next 2 weeks it goes back up. As such I only trust what i weigh once a month. I weigh far more often than that of course - but I don't expect to weigh exactly what my dieting says I…

In the eighties my mother developed a peanut butter addiction and we were going through a kilo of the stuff a week. She had a terrible battle with it. I only ever find myself wanting it when my diet's slightly off or I've totally run out of everything and it's the only thing left. But it is mighty fine on vogels toast with…

What they said but also: you're gorgeous. had you not realised? Your face, your hair. Just beautiful.

^^ this! :D Today i feel thinner, my stomach feels flatter, i don't feel like I muffin out of my jeans so much, and my shirt is smoother. i've been yoyoing between 80kg and 100kg for the last 20 yrs. I'm waving every kilo goodbye as I go this time, I never want to see it again...

di nada. :P Just remember: it's like riding a bicycle. Which is to say, you're going to fall off and land on your bum more times than you can count. :D Every day's a new day. Every messup becomes yesterday's messup. It's really hard to diet at start: what do I eat? Where do I buy that? What does it taste like? Will I like…

There's a chick at work who is on a diet. She ploughs through maybe 400 cals at morning tea, 500 cals at lunch, don't know what she has for brekkie, arvo tea or dinner but the rate she operates at she's going to gain, not lose. I asked her if she counted calories. "No," she said. "I eat clean". hmm. Well, ye cannae change…

Sweet darling don't you worry. You'll be fine. Firstly, I'd say don't get too worried about carbs, fats, proteins etc. Work out your daily intake. I used this site: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/#results Just put your weight, age, etc in there, and see what it spits back at you. Here comes the hard…

tbh I think you need to imbibe a dose of citalopram. you have to let it go. There's no such thing as an A-type, only someone who needs to unwind. Eating is not a moral issue. Contrary to popular opinion Chuck Norris does NOT strangle an asian baby every time you eat a cupcake. Food is an objective issue of practicality.…

I also was toxically vomitous at "I spy" the trick was, when the littlie is playing "I spy somefink beginning wif bbuh" to come out with something truly obscene like 'beautiful darling baby that mummy loves sooooo much.' Daddy may come out with 'brilliant bionic daddy who is braver than bears!" but it's too late. Mummy's…

when we have children we have to go through our own maturational events, and one of them is jealousy. We return to the state of the 2 yr old, jealous of the other parent when they get this, or that. But as time goes by a mother realises that it's all roundabouts and swings. They love daddy from 2 to 3 - and hate him and…

If you imagine a good healthy dinner as a 3 egg omelet with 1/4 capsicum (bell pepper) and 1 oz cheese, with a side of broccoli, beans, peas microwaved in a jug and topped with garlic salt, like I had for dinner last night - nothing there is expensive. Buy broccoli on sale, blanch and freeze most of it - freeze if free…

I'm getting on scooby's site that you' have a tdee of 2054. that's with a '3 - 5 hrs a week of moderate exercise' level. If I go up to '5 - 6 hrs week strenuous exercise' I get 2329cals/day. Therefore it becomes a question of how much weight you are trying to lose. At 125lb I doubt you should try for any more than 1/4 to…

Don't listen to the idiocy about starvation mode. If there were any such thing they'd bottle it and sell it in the third world. If you have anxiety to a degree where you cannot eat: that is basically a physical form of anorexia (medically just means 'loss of appetite') and will be a real problem for you in quite a number…

Kudos to you! I'll be proud when i lose ten kilos! :D

Shake it like a polariod picture. ;)

I like 'school and I are very getting'. I'm curious. What are they getting? When will they get it? find out in next week's thrilling instalment of...
