  • Awesome that you are taking your health into your own hands and making some changes! Couch to 5k is a great program. Pinterest is amazing for recipes, type literally anything such as weight loss recipes, or healthy meals for students, etc, into the search bar and you'll be loving how much stuff comes up! Happy for you to…
  • I've been on here for quite a while now, I'd love some friends who actually post, and comment, AND who know how to have a laugh. Life is too short to be serious ALLLLLLLLLL the time ????
  • Planning is the only way to go. I pack all of my next days food for work the night before. I cook on the weekends and freeze meals. Eating spontaneously is a disaster!!! It certainly doesn't mean that if you go out for dinner or lunch, or a friend pops in for coffee that all is lost, it just means that most of the time you…
  • I absolutely love my smoothies. I drink them everyday. I could happily have just smoothies all the way to dinner time, I don't know if I want to do it exclusively though but smoothies are awesome! ???????????????????????? are you getting that I love smoothies??? Hehehe
  • Hun, I love carrot juice, and maybe have 10 carrots in one juice, and have never been orange in my life. You aren't eating excessive amounts of any of those veggies you stated. When they say people have that problem, it's either people who have liver issues who can't process things through their system properly or people…
  • It's easy to criticise, but she doesn't eat 51 bananas a day, she did that once and made a video about it. Of all the crazy diets around, including drinking nothing but stupid shakes all day, people think eating raw till 4 extreme?? I eat raw till 4 (raw till dinner time) and I can only go on personal experience, as…
  • I love fruit more than life itself.
  • Hi guys, I'm from Melbourne. Have been on MFP for over a year. Love a good larf. I'm into the gym big time. I would love some more mates ????
  • bahahaha!! this is so funny... I haven't had it happen to me (yet) but god, have I worked hard to hold some in :laugh:
  • OMG yes, I used to suffer from this exact problem,. so I spent years sabotaging myself. But I got fatter and more and more unhappy. One day I just suddenly decided to go for it, and overcome my fears. I've realised I ma happier, fitter and wished I'd done this a whole lot sooner. Please don't let it hold you back anymore.…
  • feel free to add me, I'm very motivated :smile:
  • I'm hoping to go for a walk this afternoon and Sunday is legs day! I'm looking forward to relaxing in between though, it's been a really loooooooong week!
  • Depression is very tough on everyone. And at the same time, you end up feeling guilty because you need a life! Don't feel guilty. You can't fall in a heap because he has. He needs to make some tough decisions about employment and where he's heading in life. It's not easy.
  • I say that's the best bit... is that none of your clothes fit right!!! you should feel really proud of yourself and you can have that smug feeling that soon you'll definitely need a new wardrobe! YAY!!!!
  • I am not replying to be mean, I have been obese and I have suffered for it. At least when you are obese you can lose weight, and improve your lot in life. There are people who are missing limbs or who have non curable cancer, there are all sorts of situations in life that are awful and unfair. But by defending your weight…
  • Hello! Yes I have Tough Mudder in March, which is 20km, and a half marathon in July (it will be my 4th half marathon) I never in my life thought I'd call myself a runner, but I am proud to say that through being unbelievably stubborn, I have achieved more than I thought possible. You can do it!!! Anyone who wants to have a…
  • no wonder people get so confused about what and how to eat....
  • I think this happens coz what you're doing feels temporary. Treat is as a day by day project and I also found that meal planning helped me a lot. I don't rely on motivation, I just know where I want to go, and that requires being prepared.... You can do this. Just keep going. You cant feel awesome ALL the time about it,…
  • woohoo!!! Go Glamour puss! My goal is to run a full marathon in 2014... I'm here for you all the way chick!
  • hello, I had my thyroid removed 3 weeks ago... my thyroxine is way too low and my surgeon told me to expect to pack on the weight till I see him this Friday to get my meds upped. So I am happy to report that through being a stubborn cow, I have lost 1.2kg in 2 weeks, and have only been walking when I feel up to it. Control…
  • You can go into settings and up your calories yourself.
  • that's awesome!!! Good luck, I know you'll do well. Everyone was a newbie at some point!
  • I'm on everyday, I work full time, so cant always chat, but defiantly can support you. Feel free to add me :)
  • I always used to suffer from insane knee and pelvic pain, the best advice that was ever given to me was to build up the strength in my legs and hips. There are specific weight exercises for these areas and I have to say that after I massively increased the weights in my leg workouts, I ran a half marathon and it was the…
  • OMG I love my George foreman grill. Also pinterest has a million and one different marinade recipes. Also I bet there are some in the recipes section on MFP. Have fun... so yummy!
  • the holidays are THE worst time to try and make these changes, you are being so hard on yourself. That being said, I know exactly where you are coming from and I can tell how miserable and unhappy you are with yourself. So here's my advise..... Start by planning your meals..pre log. This helps me ALOT. Plan some exercise…
  • sending a request :)
  • literally one day at a time, one meal at a time. I learned that the hard way, I used to imagine how I would ever lose ALL my weight and it became too overwhelming. I learned to break it down into doing a good job today. Start walking, even if you can only manage a few minutes. Calorie count and aim to eat as much whole…
  • I love oats too! I put 1/2 cup oats in a container, then a tsp sunflower seeds, tsp pepitas, pour boiling water from the kettle to cover, then leave in the fridge overnight - I used to put dried fruit in it too, but don't do that now. By the morning its 'cooked' I pour on a bit of coconut cream and honey and take it to…
