I think in general men can lose more easily than women its just in their design they were designed for the hunt so naturally need to have more muscle and be faster, women were designed to bear children and gather so they didnt need to be as fast or have as much muscle ,,,,,,,,,,,,, But we dont exactly live a caveman…

Oh also or those asking what i do to reach 600cals ,,, most days i do 60 minutes on a stationary bike on the hardest program which offers high resistace i also do this at a hgh intensity i use a hrm monitor to track my cals burnerd its a polar watch so more accurate than the bike which tells me im burning up to 200 higher…

wow love this site thanks so much for all your replys i read through them all and would love to reply to everyone but im sitting here with a baby on my knee whos trying to press all the keys for me so ill make this a quick reply for now :/ so far what im feeling from the replys is there is no exact mould for this i have a…

I probably should stick it out a few more weeks this would be life changing for me if it works it would take being on a diet and change it to a new lifestyle instead it would be nice not to feel drained after working out anymore i would also like to eat regular amounts of food and sit down to the same dinner as i feed my…

For me i use a hrm monitor and use the programs on my staionary bike , the higher you have the resistance the harder you have to work i also pay close attention to make sure my heart rate is in the fat burning zone ,,, for me it can depend on the day I have had as well If im bursting full of energy and put everything i…

Uh oh i have a feeling this cold become a popcorn post ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, adding popcorn to snacks in mfp diary al

Ive set mine at 2 pounds which is what i would feel comfortable with at this stage ,, my plan was hide the scales for about a month start eating my excercise cals back and see what the scales say in a months time ,,, just so nervous that i will be unknowingly undoing all the work ive put in and will end up getting on the…

I actually find them to be the least picky yes they dont eat meat but they are usually the types that are more experimental with food and will happily try many different things and eat at more alternative places when you take meat away they have to find new ways to make things taste good etc so therefore will try and eat…

well you lose salts etc and become dehaydrated so tend to crave salty fatty foods also i think its part psycological when your hung over you feel bad so you want something bad for you to help with feeling awful

I'm Australian and i have a thing for canadian, Irish and south African oh and scottish lol im just a accent *kitten*

Sometimes the big chain stores stock them maybe youc ould see if someone could order them in , im thinking of giving it ago wthout them until i can get some lighter ones just need to know what size to buy

Heya im from the nsw/vic border :) its woudl be awesome to have some more aussies on my friends list woudl love some adds from other fellow aussies also

My personal view is do whats right for you in the day your in not everybody is the same and not everyday is the same listern to your body if you put in a big workout and burn 500 cals for example and after you start to feel hungry then eat till you are satisfied but not stuffed if after your work out you dont feel hungry…

Thanks so much everyone all your words have seriously taken me from probably not trying again to making a plan to get this thing done, im considering working on the things I find the hardest first like the push ups and then when i feel confident with that starting it again , it gave me such a great workout and according to…

I'm a stay at home mum and finding time to get the cooking and excercise in is extremly hard dont judge a situation you dont understand some people have easy babies that allow them to get allot of things done, some dont theres always cleaning feeding playing to do and when you are holding a baby that might be teething sick…

I probably should try and just cut out the amount first like some of you suggested i had tried at one point but i just never got used to the taste i like my coffee to be really really white i use about 60ml of milk and almost caramelly in flavour it is pretty much the only naughty thing i have kept in my diet the odd thing…

hey dont feel bad we have all been there after all most of us are here to lose weight right so we have all been in a place that isnt ideal ,,, a new baby is a lifechanging thing after my first i was were you were i had no energy for excercise the very thought was just impossible id just taken on a family and was very new…

Im not going to judge your situation maybe you have a bad sleeper or something but for me i have a 7 year old a 3 year old and a 10 month old and manage to excercise everyday and cook,, the trick is to start out small you dont need equipment to excercise walking with a pram burns plenty of calories and its really nice to…

I was the same for the first month or so but now it doesnt hurt at all i actually had big black bruises on my butt , i think eventually you get used to it , i also use mine everyday so that might have helped with how quick i got used to it

I dont i just dont like the taste , i figure soft drink or soda as you guys call it is a treat and so when i do have it i just have a normal coke i just limit it to like a couple of times a month and basically just drink water the rest of the time ,,, if i liked the taste though id probably have it more often

bit of a shamless bump bump want people to see this :smile:

This really made my 8kg loss feel so much more significant thanks :)

Ugh wish i could edit my original post I put lose instead of loss ,, lol its very frusterating its all i can see when i open this now

The thought of the whole process is kinda creepy i cant imagine being like hey i feel i need to lose some weight for summer i might just pop down to the hospital put a drip up my nose not eat for 10 days and have a bunch of random nurses etc checking me its just wierd ,,, sure makes me appreciate my approach more next time…

lol nice i think i would pretty much book myself in there full time maybe change it up with some wine

I know right! I think the scariest part is this is being offered by doctors the very people that should no better what ever happend to just teaching people to eat healthier, less and excercise i mean i know some people need allot more help than just that but this is being offered to not just the morbidly obese but to just…

I love my polar, i have even worn the chest strap to bed one night without notcing it never bothers me as long as you get the right size they do make bigger straps etc also as everyone else has said it really is the only accurate way and i havent actually seen any that dont have it ,,, good luck onyour mission to find one…

P.s Im not trying to attack you or put your post down it was quite valid its not nice for people to be put down based on their weight i just think that you failed to see that its equally as bad when you use those kind of names your self even if it is against those people who put your friends down personally i dont hold…

Then you should know better than to use the word FAT in a derogartory way especially when usuing it to support your argument that name calling isnt right wether someone is using the word anorexic or fat if its used to put others down its just wrong
