I agree, u need to increase ur calories, even if it's just 100-200 a day. I eat around 1600 a day. I do a 45 min walk and about 15 min strength training. I have consistently lost weight every week so, for me, I know i'm doing it right. good luck

love this

I jump on my treadmill for about 45mins a day 5 days a week plus lifting weights but I noticed my tummy fat just isn't shifting so I introduced these leg lift thingys. u lay down on floor (I lay on bed as it hurts my spine) bring ur legs up put ur hands behind ur head and gently bring ur head up then lower both legs at…

looking at ur diary, u def need to eat more! MFP allows for a deficit anyway so if u still have days where u have 1000 or more cals left ( and u do) than ur body is going to cling to anything it can (starvation mode). This is a natural, normal thing. having said that u can still leave calories left, I generally average…

I am at the point where I can tell when my body needs food, so I eat when I am hungry. I am also diabetic so I have small meals frequently throughout the day.My first couple of weeks I was hungry but now I seem to b eating enough to sustain my body in between meals.1200 cals seem like too little to me, i'm eating about…

That is not true... That is nothing to do with low carb... That is the same reason why every diet fails... People lose commitment and focus and fall back into bad habits and that's why they put on weight. Low carb is a very effective way to lose fat and there is no reason why it can't be sustainable in the long run…

i'm a few hours west of Sydney, feel free to add me :)

i'm curious about this too, hope u get some answers!

i am on lantus for diabetes, i haven't been taking it for long but i'm hoping it won't make me gain :/

r u serious??!! u are totally a sucess story! AMAZING

if its coming up to "that time of the month" u will notice a difference! i tend to gain a few houndred grams right before i'm due. this is normal for us women!! try not to weigh urself everyday, u will always fluctuate, it's just how the human body is. i personally weight twice a week, just to make sure i'm on track. if u…

i like anything slasher, super natural, blood n guts, that sorta thing. the gorier the better!!

THIS!!

thanks for the info, i didn't realsie there was different types of ketones. as i said she didn't give me any other details other than, they r bad.... she didn't give me any advice on how to manage this whilst at home. i have another appointment with her on friday so i will keep doing what i'm doing n wait n c. thanks

thanks heaps, yeah she said that ketones in a diabetic is not good but didn't explain it further. i have to eat a certain amount of carbs each day which i am doing, so i will monitor my protein from now on. thank you :)

wow u look fantastic!! a great result so far, keep at it n can't wait to c ur goal pics :)

Totally agree!!!

THIS!! If they want to have the junk in YOUR house make them store it in their room!! as for the milk, i always make sure my milk is in the fridge and i tell ppl that the whole is for them and my kids. They may be family but they still need to respect ur rules. good luck!

WOW!! this is fantastic and i totally agree. i've just taken 2 weeks off on my "diet" and increased my cals. it worked for me, although i didn't exercise either and i feel like crap :( so next time i do this i will still exercise. Thankyou for posting this, it was a great read.

it goes completely off ur individual data. I have a polar ft4 and mine has an alarm if my Hr gets too high or low, it's called the zone. The zone is designed to target fat burning and a higher HR targets cardio. you can switch the alarm on or off in settings. The ft4 is super easy to use and i personally can't live without…

soo impressed! its incredible what we humans can do when we put ours minds to it, well done!!

Thanks everyone, i totally agree on the sodium but i had a full blood works done recently and my doc said my sodium was low!! He asked me to increase it because the amount of water i'm drinking is flushing the sodium from my body. But i will keep at it, i know i'm probably worrying over nothing. I do 40 mins on treadmill 6…

yep, u def need to INCREASE your cals. Increase by 100-200 to start with but in my experience this does the trick. good luck!

totally differnet question here: Can u wear the ft4 while swimming??

cookies go in ur mouth n straight to ur *kitten*! don't do it, u have come so far!

i too have trouble with self esteem. then someone told me to stand in front of the mirror once a day and find something that i liked. i must admit it took me a while to find something but then it started with " oh i do like my long eyelashes" or "i like the colour of my eyes". It does get easier and i can honestly say that…

i weigh myself everyday but real weigh in is saturday. i find if i weigh everyday it keeps me on track and helps my motivation. everybody likes to do things differently, thats what makes us unique! do what helps u!! good luck!

i would say def see a physio. i had a netball injury 10 yrs ago and it was still hurting up untill the start of this yr! the pysio gave me some good exercises to do at home and now it's pretty much fine. Also maybe instead of running for 11 mins and killing ur shins how about u do interval training?? so 1 min running 1 min…

i lose weight in my boobs first, it really sucks because i'm only a B cup!! breastfeeding took me from a D to a B and now exercise will leave me with nothing :sad: i am starting to notice a difference in my waist and hips but it has taken a looooooonnnggg time!!
