I ordered a shirt online the other day and when it arrived I looked at it and thought, damnit that's not going to fit. I tried it on anyway and it was loose!

It takes me 1.8 seconds... but I don't carry a handbag, makeup, etc around with me. Everything I need is in my pocket.

NOT normal. Go to the doctor!

Yep, I would totally laugh at you :) Haha even at the time I could appreicate the hilarity of it.

I've suffered from the same thing, for me it was due to low iron. Take a look at your diet and see if you're getting enough iron. You really should go to the doctor and get a blood test though. Also, make sure you're eating enough and drinking enough water - especially if you are doing hardcore exercise :)

My friend's niece is Xyza (pronounced Z-eye-za)

If I'm short on calories I have either a banana or apple with some 100% Almond Spread - add's between 150-200 cals. Also adding things like avocado to your salad/sandwich can boost your calories. A handful of nuts. hope some of that helps :)

My treadmill is pointed at the TV so I normally watch that while I'm running. If it's a rest day and I'm just going for a bit of a walk on the treadmill I have been known to play XBox at the same time... haha I'm a bit of a nerd :)

There's a difference between learning to laugh at yourself and someone making fun of your weight or insecurities. Sounds like a douche - good riddance.

I know what you mean! I learnt SO much when I started counting calories and you become so much more aware of what you're putting into your body. I especially realised how many extra calories a day I had been consuming by simply eating food as I'm preparing it! A slice of cheese for me, a slice of cheese for my sandwich...

I've been wondering exactly what's involved in the 30 day shred as there seem to be a lot of people doing it - think I'll give it a go! :)

My favourite is when people that are skinner than you tell you you're getting too skinny... haha I'm never quite sure how to respond to that :)

I think often it is that you do exude more confidence and people definitely respond to that but there are plenty of shallow people out there. I definitely get a lot more doors opened for me these days!

I don't believe in start tomorrow or start next week. Start RIGHT NOW, even if it's 1.34pm on a Thursday. Perhaps you're changing too much all at once? Try starting slowly. Instead of doing a complete overhaul of your diet and trying to exercise 6 times a week maybe first just concentrate on your diet. Try cutting your…

It wasn't a first date, but one guy started talking about 'our' wedding on date 3... goodbye.

After the number of people that have just shared their own awful personal experiences (not 'this happened to my friend' stories) from this diet, I'm surprised you're still willing to go ahead with it. I honestly worry for your health, how any doctor could actually recommend this kind of 'program' I don't know. I sincerely…

I've heard quite a few times that apples are supposed to be better at waking you up than coffee however I have no idea if that is actually true or not. Maybe try working out in the morning?

I'm starting the c25k too and wasn't sure how to log it in MFP so I bought a HRM. Maybe you might want to look into that if you're after an acurate reflection of calories burned?

I think everyone needs to read this, you are truly an inspiration. Well done! :)

Absolutely incredible! Well done!!

Moroccan cous cous with marinated lamb and vegies. YUUUUM!

Vodka... :tongue:

I usually exercise beforehand to gain extra calories, then I drink voda lime sodas - lowest calorie drink I've managed to find :)

I was not picking out the fact that you had eaten McDonalds, I was trying to illustrate that eating the correct amount of calories is not necessarily enough. McDonalds was just the first thing that came to mind when I thought 'crap' food :) You came here looking for advice and possible suggestions and people are giving you…

I don't at all mean this in a rude way but you say you're eating 90% healthy but I don't believe that's true. I actually used to think I ate quite healthily until I started counting calories and doing a bit of research. It's not just about eating the right amount of calories, it's also about eating the right kinds of…

Iv'e been on the pill for about 7 years now and it hasn't made any difference to my weight loss from what I can tell. It could be a number of other things though - Perhaps you're not eating enough? If you're working out like crazy at the gym you may need to be eating more. It seems strange but I was stuck at the same…

Me too!! I have spent so much money on clothes. But isn't it just the best feeling being able to put something on and it actually looks GOOD!! We deserve it :wink:

Brush your teeth and go to bed!!! :)

Start slowly! :) Begin with logging EVERYTHING you eat. When you see what you're putting into your body all written out in front of you, you'll WANT to change what you're eating. Then start making changes to the foods you're eating. I like to come on MFP during my lunch break and read blogs/posts, it helps keep me…
