Great idea, thanks :happy: I saw another tip on MFP that works too. When you're in a restaurant, ask for the dressing on the side, then dip your fork in the dressing before you stab your salad, the tines of the fork pick up a tiny amount of dressing, enough for flavour, not too much though! Person who gave out the tip said…

If I measured my bust without a bra on, it would be more of a waist or hip measurement :tongue:

thank you!

Oh, how I wish I had six extra arms! So funny, I only wish eating protein bars and chicken breasts had this effect!

I like my feet too! Not because they are particularly pretty, but because I can shop in 'normal sized' shoe shops for them! No plus size feet here!

Love this! Of course I am looking at lower sodium meals and snacks and ingredients since I've realised how far over I go. At one point if I reached my sodium limit, I just stopped eating for the day, but then I thought it's calories that are important.

me too! I might save myself the $10 class fee in future though, and just make up my own moves at home!

What if I'm DOUBLE my sodium? If I go that far over, I try to increase my water (but I only drink 4-5 cups a day anyway, 8 is too much! I'd never leave the WC!) Can i ignore it if I'm under in my cals?

Huh. I have a different problem. I look at photos of myself in high school (15yrs ago), pictures where I am positively skinny, and remember I used to firmly believe I was a fat blimp. I look at photos from 12months ago, pictures where I am clinically obese, and remember thinking at the time I was 'a little overweight'. I…

No relationship advice for you, sorry. Just head down, and bum up and the results will soon be too big for anyone to ignore. OK, just one small piece of relationship advice. Don't make her salad for a week. she might appreciate it a bit more when you do!

OOooooOOOOoooo MFP should have a funstion where you can see your weight on a graph.... like a ticker, but better!

I don't feel so bad about going over in protein and under in carbs now...

Way to go!

op shops, and maybe ask around? Also factory clearance outlets - the stuff might be last season, but who cares? You're not going to be wearing it for long! and focus on the positives, at least your feet aren't changing size (even if your workout shoes do need replacing more often!)

MFP is My Fitness Pal (this site) I find it hard to get motivated to get off my chair too. I started with a resistance band and a list of exercises you can do with it SITTING ON A CHAIR. Resistance band cost me $10AU at Big W. Probably $5US at Walmart. Even 5 bicep curls is better than nothing. Once you get into the habit…

maybe you could just dance or do aerobics in between all the attractions to get your burn number up? If you're wearing one of those hot, heavy mascot suits, you'll increase your burn too, and you'll fit right in!

This is what I do! I eat when I am hungry. I just keep the fridge and fruit bowl stocked with clean foods! I have a garden salad in the fridge (huge bowl) at all times. If I graze from that, costs me hardly anything in calories and keeps my hands and mouth busy (not on chocolate!)

ooOOooooooOOOOooooo :love: looks great!

Oh, how I envy you! I can't wait for my boobs to shrink! No more special ordering bras from NASA!

6 days after poining MFP I weighed 400grams more than when I started:noway: 17 days later I weighed 5 whole kilos less! :happy: stick with it!:flowerforyou:

what does NSV stand for?

I gave up soft drink about two months ago - previous to that I could drink up to two litres of Coke Zero a day! It wasn't even the caffeine I was addicted to, because normal coke and diet coke wouldn't do it, it was the sweetener! I have a soft drink every now and again, I REALLY don't like water! When I do get a soft…

We don't have our weight on our license in Australia. Maybe if we did I would've been motivated to act sooner! Congratulations on a wonderful achievement!

This looks/sounds delicious! I have never heard of that cheese though - do you know of a similar thing i can get in Oz? No worries, I'll Google it. Also any suggestions on how NOT to eat all ten servings at once would be appreciated :)

I prefer to do it in a group with a live instructor too - much harder to slack off :/

I had the same question a couple of days ago - a member helpfully pointed me in the direction of a Zumba Calories burnt calculator on the web that takes into account weight, intensity, minutes etc. don't know what it was now, but just google it :)

*cracks out the peanut butter* @trisharrell - someone else calls it NUKING! Yay! I am the only one I know of! @ foreigners "Aussies don't like to talk about banana prices. This is the second time in 6 years a cyclone has wiped out 80% of Australias banana crop and bananas have gone up to $15 a kilo. Did you know it takes a…
