Following this for help / ideas. I'm 10 weeks pregnant and about 30kgs over weight. Whilst I know I'll of course gain weight through pregnancy, I'd ideally like to lose some of the 'bad weight' while gaining the 'baby weight'. If you know what I mean.

I have arthritis in both knees. At 96kg it was debilitating. I've struggled through cardio doing some bike and walking. I've lost 20kgs. Despite the doctors recommendations and is a desperate attempt to improve my bum I started squatting. Best. Thing. I. Ever. Did! It has strengthened the muscles around my knees and I feel…

When I look down I don't see my belly under my boobs! Winning!

Unbelievable. I'm having a bit of a tough day today struggling with emotional eating. and you have made me feel so much better! You are amazing!!!

First thing in the morning on a Friday is my chosen day. Why? My weekends are my ease off exercise days and I allow myself my naughty treats then too. Mon - Fri I tend to work off the damage and then some so Friday I've found is my best day to officially log. In saying that I weigh every day too lol.

I'm so glad our weight isn't on our licence in Australia. I don't want anyone to know that number!

perhaps pop the chocolate in an envelope and mail it to said child? :P

Thanks guys. I'm 1/4 of the way there so i figure i must be starting at the bottom and working up. thighs / bum for the next quarter, then belly, then arms... haha

Spreadsheet doesn't seen to be working.

Nearly time for our first weigh in. Unless something huge changes overnight I'm not going to see a huge change on the scales. I'm slowly accepting that as a reformed couch potato, any amount of exercise and healthy eating is repairing the damage to my inside which is far more important than what I see in my mirror everyday.

I bought a new scale and gained 6kgs from what the dodgy old one said. I'm over the disappointment now and just happy knowing i get a legitimate reading.

As others have said, you can't have your cake and eat it. If you want to binge drink and satisfy the munchies then you might as well stop wasting your time dieting. Generally people start a diet / healthy eating and exercise regime because they want to repair or better their body. For most it's not just to be 'hot and…

I got a lump in my throat. Thanks for sharing!

I'll join in this if i still can? I need a boost for summer.

Just sent you a PM. It's 2 weeks into spring here. Need a good boost before the weather warms up and i have to show skin!

Work out the calories of the 'naughty', work out the amount of exercise required to burn it off and add that to your weeks worth of exercise. Do this everytime you eat something you shouldn't or binge. In saying that though; if you eat right, exercise and gain some awareness of the food you eat, there's absolutely no…

I don't like the taste of water but i manage to get my 8 or more glasses without a second thought. How? 3 things - i sip water while i'm exercising. A mouthful here a mouthful there. Doesn't take long to disappear and when you're hot and sweaty with dry mouth it could be salt water for all i care. I leave a glass beside…

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I'm hear for the long haul so i'm sure we'll get to know each other well. Feel free to point anything i'm doing wrong based on my profile / diary / updates etc. I'm completely foreign to all this so i need all the help i can get :D
