MUST TRY!!! :happy: Thx Chris :flowerforyou:

Thanks for sharing Chris.... Jules looks fantastic - inspiring :happy:

Your body is a little 'behind' what you are doing to change it - every one (body) is different ... some people are something like 2 weeks behind. Your body is going through a major change - nothing just magically happens overnight... it takes time. So give it time :smile: Maybe next weigh in should be in 2 weeks time, so…

:laugh: good one! :tongue:

What you are aiming for is Lean Body Mass (LBM) - this is also my aim (you are a lot closer to your goal than me), you need to increase protein...I also do Kickboxing which is fantastic to help your muscles develop... :flowerforyou: good luck!!

Fantastic work Megs.... woo hoo!!! :happy: GO FOR IT get that goal!!! :drinker:

Hey Bluff (Gary) I'm no expert, but I've done quite a bit of research and I've been working on LBM (Lean Body Mass) for quite some time as I lose weight - for me it works...I still haven't reached my goal weight but I have definition now as I lose my weight... :wink: and I'm loving it!!!! I'm so excited and can't wait to…

Fantastic work!!!! Celebrate your achievement girl WOO HOO !!!!!! :flowerforyou:

Wow.. thanks :flowerforyou: ... great post / replies... very interesting...

Thanks Chris...bump for later, but I soooo need to read this... I'm becoming obsessed about protein and might be over-doing it....this is just what I need to read!

Sometimes 'plateau' is muscle building - don't forget it weighs more than fat.... but muscle is our friend :wink: :smile: and if plateau is around for too long then as everyone says you probably need to change things up a bit - give yourself a kickstart :smile:

Good question!!! I know you go down in size but 'toned' / firm or flabby is the curiosity factor....I feel your pain Terriwin - wouldn't mind my DD's to become C :wink: :laugh: think my constant back pain might disappear too :tongue: :laugh:

Can't wait to make it!! and I think I might have to check out the web too :) :) Thanks Chris :D xx

WOW... WOW... WOW!!! Awesome!! thx for sharing :flowerforyou: I want to look like that too (now and then :wink: )

Great post Chris :D very interesting!!... So I guess I can have my Black Russians guilt free ;) LOL (if I had diet coke...)

Yep!! we all LOVE :love: this site and warning it is VERY addictive! I'm the same height as you and started 73kg (160lb) and now 68.8kg (151lb). I have learned HEAPS and had sooooooo much support from wonderful people - some have already reached their goals and others have just started their 'journey'. I still have a way…

Yuuuummmmyyyy!! thanks for sharing the recipes - sound fantastic :love:

oh *LIKE* - Totally agree!!! you just need to plan around it, kind of...if you know you have a function coming up, you know you will probably have a blowout. Be consistent leading up to it and it shouldn't cause too much of a 'bump' in the scales... waist line....and ok if the bump is bigger than expected, then just 'get…

Thanks vikiele1 :smile: you have done a fantastic job yourself!!!- in such a short time- you go girl!!! .... I absolutely agree with what you say RE: paying can be motivation for some people. You and I are in the same boat - where we can't afford all of that expense and I guess the whole point of my post was to praise MFP…

Oh, sorry, only just seen your response LauraAkaTigger... I guess I have kg cause it's what I know and understand... bit like me saying to you why not do kg.... if you kinda know what I mean :tongue: :happy: Having said that, I am now starting to get an idea of lbs... so who knows...? Lars :)

Awsome Loss!!! wish my ticker would move more... Keep going, you are on the right track :)

Hi Funjabi :wink: Your post reminds me of my first few days here 'finding my feet'... not sure what this whole thing is all about or how to go about things... I sent you a friend request, add me and you have someone to start your journey with :happy: News Feed is great when you have a few friends - motivate each other.…

Hi Rolsg I've only been here a short while, so still a 'youngling' and learning heaps on the way. I thought as you did and I'd say 'no'. Each day is a NEW DAY!! - New day for food and new for exercise - it is what it is, don't over complicate it. Keep it simple!!! I've known for a while that exercise was my problem (2…

B, b, boo! why not start it here too... :)

Hi All :smile: from a not so sunny Sydney (hoping for some tomorrow but with the sound of a storm in the background, not likely....). Come and join us - it's fun :drinker: :tongue:

Add me to the curious list.... anyone.... anyone.....???

Oooooo thanks for the tip!! I just got an iPhone will look into it :) :) :)

Hi everyone!!! I'm about a week and 1/2 old now and have been looking for some Aussie support (or any support...) - I'm in Sydney... I think MFP is fantastic - keep you honest with yourself, my only problem is that since starting I think I've had the worst food diary ever! - it's weird!! I am aiming to lose 10-12kg…

Thanks :flowerforyou: - maybe we can help each other along as we have a common goal.. September...? :smile: Yeah, I'm committed to a weekly weigh in now, trying to aim for a positive move for 2nd one .... see how I go on Monday (plenty of time...famous last words?)... stay tuned... Good Luck to you too!!

Thanks for your feedback and support....I will now commit to weekly weigh-in on Monday morning (think it would be a good start to each week and motivation to be good on weekends :wink: ) You've done well in a short time!! keep up the good work:drinker:
