My family knows that I'm trying to lose weight because they are all overweight (except my dad). I'm not overweight, but I just want to lose the belly fat and get fitter. I was almost at my goal weight last year and people at work noticed I was toning up. I told them I was counting calories and going to the gym. So many of…

I've never done these before and all I can say is wow!!! I was only able to do 10 reps on each leg because of my bad knees, but I felt every single one of them. My balance was really shocking as well which didn't help. I guess I've got some practicing to do

When I first started running (or attempted to start running) outside I was so self-conscious. If I saw someone walking towards me I would stop running because I thought I would look ridiculous. it doesn't help that my face turns tomato red when I do strenuous exercise. But then I figured that I was doing this for me and if…

Hi, I'm another newbie. I'm really trying to get back on track with being healthy so I think this is going to be good for getting my butt into gear.

I was a coke drinker and I made the decision to switch to diet coke. I still drink a little too much of that, but it's better than the full strength stuff. For chocolate I buy the diet chocolate mousse and the skinny cow double chocolate ice cream so I can still get my fix. Occasionally I'll treat myself to a chocolate bar…

One of my favourite authors is Raymond E Feist. He's done about 4-6 different series and a few stand alone novels but they're all fantastic. Anne Bishop is another favourite. I suggest reading the Black Jewels trilogy first because that's where most of her follow-up novels are set.

I'll give it a go. I want to try running again anyway so this will be a great incentive :-) Better get training :drinker:

I got a box of ferrero rochers as well plus a box of the lindt assorted chocolates plus a small bag of lindt snowmen. I'll just control myself and hopefully limit how much of them I'll eat in one day

Booked a cruise to the south pacific with my sisters Introduced to MFP Got a loan from the bank so I can finally get away from my negative housemate (haven't moved yet, but I'm looking at a place tonight) and moving in with my bestie :drinker:

Wow I have so many :heart: ...let's see. Ryan Reynolds Chris Evans Vin Diesel Luke Evans Pierce Brosnan LL Cool J Jensen Ackles Just to name a few :drinker:

I'm a really strong believer in moderation. My mum has been a yo-yo dieter for years. What would bring her unstuck was completely depriving herself of the unhealthy stuff. When she'd have one unhealthy thing she'd send my dad to Henny Penny (kind of a poor man's copy of KFC) and then get ice cream and chips and chocolate…

Deep Blue Sea and Twister. I know pretty much all the lines of both movies :laugh:

Hi I'm Erin and I live in western Sydney. This is a fantastic site and you'll do fantastic here. Much better than weight watchers lol. Feel free to add me

I went to a concert with my dad and my best friend recently and my friend and I always joke around that she hangs around my building, looking in my windows and hiding under the bushes outside my window. My dad was staying over and we were joking around that I wouldn't let him in the door and then I put my foot in my mouth…

Welcome back. If you make your diary public, at least for your friends then maybe it will be easier for you to eat healthy. It's a work in progress and you've just got to keep going. You can do this. Coming back to the site was a great step forward. There are plenty of people here that will help you lose the weight and…

It depends on what you ate. Everyone's body metabolises food differently. If I have rice or pasta then I start to get hungry about 30 minutes later. Maybe this is your body's way of saying that you need to add something to the meal to make it stick.

I'm in too!!! I'll weigh in on a different day due to a group I'm already in to do exactly this but I'll take all the motivation and support I can get and give. Anyone feel free to add me. Good luck guys

My housemate tried to tell me that exercise lowers your immune system. When I told her that wasn't true and that it's only overly excessive exercise that does that, and told her that I looked it up, she tried to blame it on someone else for giving her that information

HI and welcome to the site. This place is full of great people who will support and motivate you. Sometimes it's hard to stay on track, but that's what we're here for. Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck :flowerforyou:

My appetite usually drops at my TOM too. I just usually eat the bare minimum as well, depending on how bad it is. I've recently gone back on the pill and I ate more normally, but as long as you eat something it should be ok. If you're worried maybe go see your doctor and see what he/she says. Keeping up your fluids is a…

I'm in!! I'm 26, working at Woolworths in western Sydney and usually living with a very unhealthy/unenthusiastic housemate. Bring on the cheer squad!!!!

Welcome to the site :flowerforyou: Feel free to add me. You can never have enough friends:smile:

My housemate is the most negative influence in my life at the moment. She told my best friend that she is 150kg (or 330 pounds), about double my weight, and she does not seem interested in losing weight at all. She is constantly trying to get me to eat pizza, or red rooster, I think to make herself feel better about eating…

I am trying to give up drinking diet coke, but I'm looking for something to add to water just to give it a little more flavour. I live in Australia and Crystal Light, which everyone raves about, isn't available here so if anyone has any other suggestions I'd be grateful.

Welcome. I don't have a lot to lose either and also want to shape up so feel free to add me and maybe we can share tips on how to get in shape. :flowerforyou:

Hi and Welcome!! Feel free to add me.

Hi, I'm 26 and I live in western Sydney. I'm not doing the Michelle Bridges thing although I would love to, finances just don't allow it. Feel free to add me and we can do this together. Good luck :flowerforyou:
