Thanks so much for a detailed response :smile: I'm actually the opposite, my arch is too high! The reason my instructor said not to squat low is so that I can focus on my form, once I am sure I am doing my squats properly and not injuring myself, I can squat low.

Seriously? That's awesome! Thanks :smile:

Gee, so many rules haha! In that case, I will definitely go to a shoe store and get assessed in that case. And yea, I have had them shoes for a few years, probably in need of a new pair. lol actually, I love the treadmill cos it bumps my daily steps on FitBit and helps me win the friend challenges! I might just have to get…

Haha - thanks for that! I don't think it is my shoes, they are expensive Nike (or Adidas, can't remember lol) and I've always used them with no problems. You may be right about the body not being used to it thing. I've spoken to the instructor and she's told me not to squat so low and focus on my form for a while and see…

In the exact same boat right now.

I'm glad it's okay to weigh in every day cos it's just so tempting!

Thanks everyone! I've tried Trendweight and I think I'll be sticking with that, it looks good and does what I need it to :smile: I'm just glad I can still use my scale's wifi feature haha

Is this a phone app? I couldn't find it in the Google Play Store.

Your stomach looks amazing! I can't believe you have had 3 kids! Yours and @My_Butt are exactly the kind of stomach I would like!

Thanks everyone! I guess I have just never had low enough body fat % to see my abs! Here's hoping I get there :smile:

You would be burning so many calories. Buy a FitBit, that will record your calories burnt based on your movements. I wear one on my bra all the time and can track how many calories I burn each day. I definitely recommend a FitBit.

This.

I just find it funny how most shortcuts (shakes, pills, etc.) have a fine print that reads something like 'must be taken in conjunction with daily exercise and healthy eating,' so really, they do nothing lol.

I agree. Fitbit zips are only $60. Also, you can't put a price on your health, if you really want to get fit and healthy invest a little money, time and effort. Standing won't get you there. Let me give you some perspective; today I did 25 squats with 20kg weights and only burned about 30 calories. So no, your standing…

No, I wouldn't log standing. It's not really movement. Get yourself a fitbit and that will tell you how active you are.

I have a Polar FT4 as well as a FitBit zip. I use my HRM to log all my exercises, while I wear my fitbit all day to track my activity. I keep my fitbit on while using my HRM. I love them both and would recommend them both.

Some people's circumstances are different. I eat between 1000-1200 calories a day (when I'm doing things right) because I burn very few calories (I'm extremely small at 145cm). So if I eat 1200 calories on a day without exercise, I actually WILL NOT lose anything. Sometimes you should just keep that in mind I guess..

Oh I totally agree, there's just something about his rough, bad boy exterior that makes me love him so!

I wish there was an Australian one :(

Unfortunately, nothing helps bloating but going to the bathroom for me (sorry). Sometimes it takes days though, up to a week. I don't recommend drinking too much water as that will cause you to be even more bloated. Edit: Bloating from my monthlies goes away after my monthlies start, nothing I can do about that :(

It's a tough situation, but it sounds to me as though you could solve it with a little self discipline, momotivation and self control. Find another habit that you can replace eating in bed with. When you're laying in bed and thinking of food, do something else. Distract yourself. And most of all, remain motivated, know…

haha so much bacon love! I too weep for what I have missed out on for years!

Nope, I buy the short cut bacon. 100gm's is 222 calories, and 100gm is a lot!

That's nuts! Seriously? Is it good? I live in Australia, we don't get any of that stuff here. Wish we had 'I Can't Believe it"s Not Butter'

I cut fat away from ANYTHING I eat, absolutely hate it. Before I cook it, while it's raw so I can see all the white, I cut it out. I over cut if I have to so I don't miss a bit of fat lol.

OMG, get me a job? lol

It depends where I'm going and what I need to do. A casual outing, definitely half an hour including shower is plenty of time. If we're dressing up, an hour. And I start getting ready with enough time to leave on time, my boyfriend on the other hand, aargh!

Lol I just made 100gm worth of bacon for my caesar salad.. I have no idea if that's too much or just about average. It's damn good nevertheless!

LOL I just went to the supermarket to buy some more bacon and I came back to all this! Glad to hear I finally like something that is good for me! And definitely PORK bacon!

If we get enough people, it'd be nice
