  • oh Lord!!! Eggs Hollandaise with Ham and Spinach Lasagne n Salad Quiche n Salad I actually really LOVE salads!!!!
  • Hey there :) I really enjoy doing aerobics dvd's, I usually do a different one each day, just to change it up a bit, I burn roughly 500 calories when I do them for 45 minutes :) Either that or a girlfriend and I go for a 5 kilometre walk, at a brisk pace, we burn over 400 calories!! The DVD's are great, because you can do…
  • oooh that would be a bad day for me :S My base calorie intake is 1270, and I usually sit around the 1000 mark, even with my exercise calories.... I think maybe you have too much for your after brekkie/lunch/dinner snacks, they seem a little excessive?? But thats just me, I dont know what you BMR etc is....might be good for…
  • I asked this yesterday, and the overwhelming response I got was NO! As long as you record it, and you are under your calorie intake, or counteract it with an awesome workout that day, you should be fine! I had four Jack Daniels with Coke Zero last night and was a bit scared to hop on the scale this morning, but I have…
  • LOl, so I think the overwhelming response is that I'm not doing badly hahaha! Like I said I drink maybe once or twice a fortnight, and I drink Jack Daniels which has approx 80 calories on its own, and I have it with Coke Zero which has approx 2 calories per serve, so I think I'm doing ok :) And I dont plan on not drinking…
  • Thanks ladies :) xx
  • lol, thats the thing I feel guilty because I think "i shouldnt be drinking" not because I'm over my intake or what not. I'm still under my base calorie intake, I'm having my Jacks with Coke Zero, and I dont think I could stop drinking altoghether!! Plus I usually only drink once or twice a fortnight, so I dont drink…
  • When I feeling that way I find fun ways of working out, like dancing or having a hit of cricket with my mates at the beach...things that make me feel positive, not just because I'm active but because I'm having a blast in general :) We all have days like that, you stick with it, it'll pass xx
  • I was under the impression it helped lose weight faster...? Your base calories for the day are based on your BMR, basically how many calories you burn just by being awake, so if you were to eat that set number of calories you would still lose weight, just slowly. When you exercise you are obviously burning extra calories,…
  • Hello :) I've only been on MFP for a week, so I weighed myself today just to see what I had achieved weight wise given the effort I have been putting in :p :) I feel great and was even happier when I saw I've started to lose my unwanted kilos!! I'd like to only weigh myself monthly, as well as do my measurements, because…

  • Well Hello there!! My name is Renee, I am 26 and also a newbie :) I started just a week ago and have already started losing weight!! I love MFP, it has really shown me what it was I was putting into my body, and how very little I was doing physically, also how many of 'us' there are out there, and how just a few changes to…

  • I feel your pain :S I have done the same thing since 2004, then I had two beautiful little boys and I became less concerned with looking after myself and more concerned with looking after them! Just last year I had lost 16 kilos and I put it all back on with a little extra too...BUT.... as I prepare for my wedding in March…
