I give myself the lowest amount of calories available for my exercise. Hopefully I am doing a bit more than what I am tracking, although when I am walking the dog, there is lots of stopping and starting. If I didn't have him with me I would like to walk a lot faster.

Have a look at my blog, the plan is in there. There are 6 meals over the day (1 is optional). She based it off foods I ate regulary anyway.

I have a plan from a nutritionist.

Will drinking soda or diet soda the day or having artificial sugar before a weigh in cause bloating or make you weigh more?

I think it's just for tracking. I have a meal plan that I'm supposed to stick to, so I pretty much eat the same thing everyday. Sometimes I will have an extra snack or a diet soda if I have done some extra exercise, and I'm wondering if that has sabotaged my results (I haven't lost weight for about three weeks, so I've…

Oh I see, thanks ladies :-)

A few bites of a Big Mac and a Diet Coke

I think you always had a waist to be honest

Any updates?

Does anyone else have Aspergers? (I was going to start a new thread, but saw that I had made this one). I made a thread a while ago about being depressed and having Aspergers, and it had some really interesting replies but got deleted because I broke one of the rules, without realising :(

Umm, anger?

Whats the difference between bike shorts and leggings?

It's... further down, more between the top of my thighs then ''up there''. Maybe it's different for males?

What did the person say btw? (if they did say something)

Haha thanks. I didn't even realise someone had flagged me, that is kinda funny! It's not like I asked for the video to be taken down, I thought most of it was funny/awesome. And Yay for cats!!!

Lol. It sounds like you are describing my butt!

Wow, just watched that video. I wanted to post it on my facebook, but it was kinda shocking- I'm a Christian and didn't like a few parts of it. I was really shocked when she pulled her pants down. If I did that in public I would probably be put back in hospital! (I have Bipolar...)

Where do you live? I had free Healthcare in the UK. It costs a little bit in New Zealand but is mostly subsitised.

I can gurantee you will look better if you wear clothes that are fitted properly and in your size. I looked better at 110 kilos than I did at 100 because of the way I dressed. Learn to embrace the things you love about your body, and hide the flaws. For example, I try to cover my arms, and not wear anything thats tight…

Do you have type 1 or type 2? I have type 1, so I have been told that I will probably never be able to go off my medications. (unless Science finds a cure or something in the next 70 years)

I remember from a young age, after a deep sense of shame about having depression. I was made to feel by the media, my parents and other kids that having depression and needing medication made you ''different'' ''a freak'' etc and that I would never be able to lead a normal life. Now I've learnt that being on medication is…

I wonder if that would work for me? I heard sun therapy can make people with Bipolar manic? although, it probably wouldn't hurt if I'm already on medications.

Thank you <3

True. I wish I could go off my medications, but my family would kill me. I'd at least like to try.

Thanks guys. That certainly gives me some hope.

Yeah, I'm on Epilium too. And some other stuff.

I am wondering what changing my habits will do. I was living on a steady diet of takeaways before this, and before that, I would go to the supermarket once or twice a week, and load up on treats like chocolate, chips, dip and popcorn. If I stopped doing all of those things, I should be able to reduce my body weight by at…

Wow, that is very inspiring. Hugs to her <3

There's lots of things you can do to make oatmeal taste better. How much do you have? I have 30g of rolled oats (before they are cooked), 100g of skim milk and 100g of fruit, whether it's out of a tin, a banana or some feijoas. I also have a scoop of protein powder on the side, but if it is a good flavour like banana or…
