My favourite meal is roast chicken and veges (potato, kumara and carrot roasted with spray of oil and seasoning) with gravy. Not totally low in calories but I cook it totally healthily and we have it at least once a week, even in summer! :) I sometimes have leftover chicken with a salad or ona sandwich the next day! Nice…

It feels great, doesn't it!!! I have lost 6.2kgs so far (been doing it just over two months) and feeling very happy with my progress. I have another 11.1kgs to hit my goal and I feel very sure I will get there. The big mistake I made in the past was givng myself a time 'limit' - this will take as long as it takes and I'm…

I have been on prednisone quite a few times myself. I have IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) and it is sometimes used to control my flareups. I don't like taking it because of the side effects but it does fix my flare ups. It def depends on what diosage you are on also - very low doeses havde less impact of…

I pay $NZD68/month and for me it is completely worth it! I live in New Zealand and we have an awesome chain of gyms called les Mills. I adore the classes and I am quite happy to pay this much. This fee entitles me to general gym equipment (elliptical etc), group classes, shower/lockers/sauna etc. I have tried machines in…

Logging my food intake and exercise intake helps me a lot - I feel accountable! Alos, watching portion sizes is a huge one for me - I love the fact I can really eat whatever I want and lose weight (I just have to watch the amounts, not too hard, really!!!). In almost two months of tracking I have only gone oever three days…

The best way to feel better about yourself is to help others. By putting your focus off yourself and onto other people you will gain self confidence and be proud of the real value you can add to other people. It honestly works - random acts of kindness are a great starting point!!! :)

We have all been there! Just wondering if your calories are set high enough if you have been very hungry? I have been doing MFP for 6 weeks and I have lost 5.7 kilos and I am rarely hungry (as in really ravenous). I am on 1600 calories daily and I feel that the 'secret' to my success has been that I am not feeling deprived…

One of my favourite veges is asparagus (as others have mentioned!) - I had some for lunch today - lightly boiled than I added salt and pepper and some balsamic vinegar - I also added some cooked zucchini too and it was so yummy. Came out at less than 100 calories too (of course I had some other things for lunch too!). Next…

I highly recommend the gym! I go three times a week and I love it. I do a combination of BodyCombat (kicking/punching) and Shabam (like Zumba). I find it excelllent for motivation and it is also where I do my weekly weigh in! It ends up costing me $5 per class as I pay about $16 per week. SO worth it!!!
