Please add me - I am turning 40 this year and have decided to lose the last ten kilos (maybe a bit more) so I feel confident and able to keep up with the kids! I have a 6 year old son and 3 year old daughter (profile pic is three years old - I should update that!) :)

Hiya! We have lots of smoothies around here, my son and husband LOVE them! I usually make a banana and berry smoothie for them in the weekends. I use (for one serving) plain yoghurt (2-3 tablespoons), low fat milk (0.5 cup -1 cup), squeeze of honey, one banana and a few handfuls of berries (mainly blue berries or…

That is a truly awesome achievement! A good reminder that if we set our mind to something it can be done (even if there are obstacles in the way!!!). Inspirational - keep up the awesome work!!!! :)

You look spectacular - my idea of the perfect body!!! Heads will turn wherever you go!!! Well deserved success :)

Awesome work!!! I think you look younger too (not that you look old in the first pic!). Keep up the great work!!!! I guess when we hit these hard times in our journey, it's great to remind ourselves how far we have come!!! xx :)

Awesome work!!! Must feel FANtastic!!!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!! You are an inspiration!!!!! :) xx

Awesome work!!! Must feel FANtastic!!!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!! YOu are an inspiration!!!!! :) xx

Wow, you have done so well!!! You look fantastic - it's amazing the difference 10 kilos can make :) Awesome, awesome work!!!!! :) I agree that it has to be sustainable. I would rather have a higher cal count and be able to keep it up than to lose a few kilos then give because I am starving!!! I have have going since…

Awesome achievement - huge difference!! Very inspiring!!!! :) GO YOU!!!!

Awesome job - you look like a different person!!! Well done :)

I have ordered 30 day shred and it's in the post on it's way to me!!! :) Looking forward to seeing results - esp after viewing Werglum's pics!!!!!!!!!! :)

Sending hugs to you! Whenever I hear of such nastiness all I can think is that people who are truly happy don't need to mock or belittle others. People who put others down are themselves deeply unhappy and want to share their unhappiness with the world. Don't let them win!!! You are stronger than they are!!! Isn't it great…

I love it!!!!! :)

WOW!!! Awesome work!!!!! I am very tempted to try it myself now after seeing those results!!!! Might take a look online to see if I can score a shred DVD!!!! :) Just, WOW!!!! Is it really only 20 mins per day? I could def make the time for that!

Wow - well done for re-claiming what is rightfully yours - happiness and a sense of purpose in your life. I love hearing such inspirational tales!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!! :) Your family will be so much happier for the changes you decided to make!!!! :) Great work!!!

Superb work - you definitely look a lot younger!!!! Well done!!!! :)

If you want cheap avocados, shift to New Zealand - my local fruit and vege shop sells 8 for $1NZD!!!!! :) I LOVE them too!!!

Some great advice on here! Another idea also is to include some meat free meals during the week. I find it cuts a huge amount of our shopping boil down - we have meat free meals about twice every week - corn fritters, vege quiche, spinach cannelloni etc. Still yummy and filling but without the expense of meat. The other…

Wow - you look completely different and, most importantly, you look SO much happier!!! Awesome work - you look way younger too!!! Superb! :)

Wow - awesome work!!! Totally deserved!! :)

Mine's Tues am because I started on a Tuesday and also because that's one of my gym days and I use the gym's scales! :)

Usually yoga pants and a sports singlet - have worn shorts more recently as I am losing weight and gaining confidence to do so!!!! (plus it's the height of summer here and it's damn hot!)

Awesome work - keep it up!!! So glad to see your awesome progress - can def see the hard work paying off!!! :)

I used to do a zumba style class (it was called Shabam but the same typew of thing) and I logged it under dancing! :)

I do BodyCombat (punching and kicking martail arts inspired class) three times per week plus walking (hard when the weather isn't so good!). I really love the classes and I have been committed to three times per week since I began using MFP (three months now almost!).

Thank you so much for sharing your story in such a sincere and honest way. People definitely respond to truth and there was a lot of truth in what you wrote. You touched many of us and also provided a reminder that life is so fragile and that as human beings we are all in this together. I can also sense (as another poster…

I am so sad to hear of your awful loss. I also lost a very, very close friend this year and I know how incredibly awful it feels :( At the time I also had a brand new 3 week old baby and it was very, very hard. It wasn't until recently (November, 8 months after her death) that I felt ready to begin this weight loss…

This is so interesting as I have been logging it as 'boxing' and it gives me 497 for 60 mintues, yert the instructors say it is between 800-900 calories (dpeending on hwo hard you work!). OH well, I am losing so that's the main thing and can't hurt to have a few extra calories up my sleeve!!!). Thanks :) I recently bought…

Thanks everyone! Your feedback is much appreciated! I def go as often as I can - my husband has been on holiday lately so I go much more (while he looks after the baby!). I know I can go three times a week for the rest of my life (even when I am back at work) so I def see it is achievable for the long term (and maintenance…

Love it! Keep up the great work!!! :)
