I allow myself a treat size chocolate bar (about 15g per day). Just had a perky nana... yummo! 55 Cals. I find allowing myself a little curbs the craving :-)

Great job so far! You are really pretty.

bumping for progress

Great thanks! I do love spinach salad and here in NZ it is coming into strawberry season. Meanwhile I'll add in some kiwifruit with my salads :-) PS have fixed the diary thing! Interesting about the calcuium. Of course that would be why antacids shouldn't be taken within 2 hours of iron pills as absorbtion is affected…

muscular arms :-) and for food..... chocolate mud cake with whipped cream!

There is an intersting thread in motivation and support on juice fasting.....

I've been watching your journey and am interested to keep doing so. I know nothing about juice or fasts but have watched Big fat and nearly dead. Am interested in how it goes. Not for me but I might add some juices to my diet. CAn you share the recipes you are using?

I find my weight easily fluctuates by 3 to 4lb.... especially depending on TOM

...and wtf.... So I am on Day 3 of TOM.... 4 days ago my jeans fit nicely ... thank you bloating! and now they are too loose YAY..... I know just before next TOM they will fit again..... so now I have to have 2 bloody sizes!

I'd be really happy to be under 70kg by Christmas (78.7 now) and thrilled if I were 68!! Love it when the weather starts to warm up and I can walk in the evenings. Roll on daylight savings!

ARe you eating back your exercise calories. If not I'd say that you need to. YOu will be busy with your 2 babes and need to fuel your body. Honestly I found when I increased my intake by 100-200 I lost more. Also what TOM is it .... we often put on a little "water and salt" weight just before TOM. Maybe you are gaining…

I try not to do anything too different but never feel like exercising for the first 2=3 days. Like today.... It is 7.16pm and I am in bed. I put on 2-6lb just before and feel and bloated.... my jeans are tighter but it all disappears quite quickly and so my weight loss is maintained. I do crave chocolate and I have a rule…

I often weigh daily but record weekly or fortnightly. I find it really interesting how much my weight fluctuates in a day! Depending on salt intake, TOM, water etc. You need to be careful not to let the scales rule. It's the fit of your clothes that tell the real story :-) I am not obsessed with numbers at all so I just do…

I was diagnosed hypothyroid 5.5 years ago. I initially went on a synthetic thyroxine (I'm in NZ). While that regualted my blood levels and I immediately lost weight I felt awful on it. I changed to a more natural T3/4 mix called whole thyroid. I have been taking that for about 5 years now and do well on it. It does take…

snacks: nuts fresh fruit dried fruit hummus & crackers popcorn (microwave plain corn in a paper bag!) special K muesli bar carrot sticks cruskits with hummus/cream cheese diet coke frozen yoghurt yoghurt lite icecream ginger nut biscuit. PASTRY FREE QUICHE: They are great! You can throw in whatever you have in the house.…

Not sure if anyone has posted this recipe.... PASTRY FREE QUICHE They are great! You can throw in whatever you have in the house. I use this recipe: 4 eggs 500g of cottage cheese veges and meat if you want Whisk eggs. Stir in cottage cheese. I dry fry the meat/veges then stir in. Line a dish with baking paper generously.…

I agree with the above poster.... up the protein and lower the carbs a little. I find when I eat more protein I lose more and stay fuller. I have found that for me I actually need to eat at least 1400 a day (162cm and 79kg) and I always eat back most if not all of my exercise calories.. .those are the things that have…

or find a low cal sweet tasting treat. Mine is bulla minis... they are frozen yoghurts on a stick... 14 in a pack about 40-50 cals - swear they are like ice cream . I don't like yoghurt so they are great for me to get a little sweetness and some dairy in :-)

carbs, protein, iron, fibre and fat

2 lb in 2 weeks is good! I'd say keep doing what you are doing!

I always have a snack just before bed :-)

I find it really hard to fit in with 3 kids and teaching full time. Mainly exercycle interval training in the evening... but I make decisions to walk when I can and park further away and run around more with the kids at school. Did 7 days of the 30 day shred last month and was loving it but find it hard to fit in - will…

I teach too.... when pregnant with my first when the kids would ask about names I'd say.... "we were thinking of .... Egg, Snow or Off" OUr last name is White. lol. We have an Aimee, Shanaya and Mystasia. I have a friend who named her wee girl.... April May June...what the heck?? I taught a Wensday.... none of the kids in…

I've heard some people do it every other day. I got to Day 8 and then being back at work made timing difficult for exercise so I just do it when I can....will probably take me 90 days! Hand weights..... I got mine from No. 1 fitness (you can buy on trademe or go instore) I got 2kg weights but they are really a smidgeon too…

another vote from me for the Special K bars... yummo and like 89cals! Also Bulla frozen yoghurt ice blocks... come in a pack of 14 made up of 4 different flavours for about $8. 50-60 cals... great for a sweet treat!

stunning! love the cut and colour!

Qudos to you! you look fantastic! And like a different person... Because you have done it slowly you are sure to have made a life change! Just awesome!
