  • Hai :) welcome.
  • I am watching my sugar intake. added sugars. no more chocolate and the like. must learn to say no and finish the withdrawals from Christmas screwing up the last attempt. ha. Then I am working on fatty things. But for now it's sugar. I don't hit my calorie limit all that often (maybe once a month on average) So I have that…
  • try cutting out added sugars in your diet and see if that shifts it? shake up your diet in one way or another and give your body a kick. ha.
  • I have noticed. looking the mirror. that my tummy appears to look like cottage cheese >< more and more. and my boobs, well. they're softer and squishier. ha. those are the only two squishy things I have noticed only this small number in to it. kind of scary. ha. but. OH WELL!
  • My sisters scale had me weigh in 2kgs heavier than I was on mine. I just use mine. My gym one had me a kg lighter and at my 10kg goal last week. Mine has me 900grams over
  • a kg a week is a good goal to aim for. But I would think it would take a little longer. I am going for 50kgs this year. But I have a date in mind for ultimate goal. which is 60 weeks away! it really depends on what you cut out of your diet sugar / fat wise. and what exercise and strength training you'll be doing as to how…
  • I swear pizza gave me over 1kg OVER NIGHT >< too many pieces with Garlic bread. thank goodness it all came off the next week. hahaha.
  • At the start. My goal was a little JUST over half of me. Now it's JUST under *L* It's VERY daunting and it's going to be a long hard task, and frustrating. So long as you remember that you are in for life, it's not a quick fix, and you will have rough patches, you will do just fine! :)
  • I have a friend that has read (somewhere so i can't quote it) that a girls period usually comes around the weight of 45kgs approx 100lbs. I thought that interesting. Especially that I may have only been around 45kgs when I was 13 (I got mine April 1995).
  • My goal is my 30th Birthday. in 60 weeks! with just under 60kgs to lose! so. here's to you!
  • I haven't had any yet either. sad. but. my time is only short so far. ha. maybe in 50kgs I'll get some corny lines? something to look forward to perhaps? hahahah
  • good luck to you! and welcome :)
  • Dunlop Volleys. - Or just a flat shoe. next best thing to barefoot apparently. Nike make a Nike Free shoe now. Since they caught on that not everyone needs 2 inches of padding around their feet. and not everyone wants that padding.
  • Yes. There are MANY privacy options in facebook. I have my page only viewable by friends, of course others can invite me to be a friend, but I have to accept. The other thing I have are LISTS on facebook. I have trusted and untrusted. So those I do not fully trust with photos of my kid and family I simply lump them in that…
  • I am hating on facebook lately. People write **** and when you call them out on it they call YOU names that actually apply to them. BUT. opinions are like *kitten*, every body's got one. and this person probably thinks "woe is me" where you do not, you, regardless of health issues are doing something to make YOU happy.…
  • I have one of those ones with the mesh type pocket that you slide it in to. Sad thing is that the top velcro strap that holds it in the pocket is too short for the iphone4. only cost me like $3 on ebay, but still. annoying.
  • I was thinking of getting under 100kgs (220lbs) before I started running. I want to be a runner. I am just hesitant for wobbly bits. Plus I am in the gym and the treadmill scares me if i let go. hahaha. SO YOU LADY. YOU ARE AWESOME!
  • that. I. MY GOD. she's more than TWO of me and wants to be like FOUR of me >< I want to throw the FFFFF word in there. but HOLY CRAP! you can't aspire to be that and be considered a "healthy" person. no way in the world. My father is 180kgs and his heart is actually growing and the muscles around it are hardening.
  • Nike + 123Run Runkeeper My fitness Pal.
  • BMI calculator. I am about 5'3 and 140lbs (60kgs) is the top end of the BMI scale for me. I have always been "thick" as a child, not fat. So I don't know if I will make it any lower. Apparently for my height can I afford to get down to 47kgs. which. I think my left leg weighs that much right now. hahaha. So since I have…
  • It comes with time. Trust me. I was here for 3 months tracking food and didn't lose ONE BIT. infact. I think I went down and then back up a few kgs. VERY frustrating. If you know what you are eating is crap, change it. Think about how much this journey means to you. When you go to eat something that's crap remember your…
  • The Nike+ sensor comes with a wireless adapter for ipods like the nano that don't have built in bluetooth/wireless. i would assume you could use it with them. I have not tried it with mine to be completely positive. perhaps some research? I however so use the sensor while I am on the treadmil and the gps app on my iphone…
  • i weigh myself mid week. Last Thursday I weighed in at 114.9kgs. Today. After a weekend of alcohol and chocolate (family christmas weekend due to my sister being due to drop a bundle on christmas day) I weighed in at 116.6. I should have seen about 3kgs loss this week, but due to the over indulgence I only saw half that…
  • I think the lap band is more for people who overeat in any singular sitting. It more or less forces you to eat like a bird. IF over eating is not your problem (like me, i eat too few calories and then i eat sugary goodness and my body stores it) then it's clearly not going to do much. I think that's where the problem lies.…
  • I find it hard most days to hit 1200calories. I have NEVER eaten enough. I understand the concept of "starving" my body and then feeding it up on sugar and it hoarding it because it wants it. But to be honest. I don't think I can honestly physically EAT ANY MORE on the given day. I ahve noticed I eat over that and some…
  • A HRM and if you want to track KM's you have done the Nike+ sensor is good for indoor runs and the GPS app for the iphone (i don't knowif they have an android version) is good for outdoor runs.
  • Someone suggested it to me the other week. I googled it, thought it looked shifty and kind just go "40lbs in 2 weeks" get stuffed. ha. yeah. not healthy. don't know about intervention though. That can mess friendships up, it almost always will. Just be there for her if / when she finds out it's not the best thing in the…
  • I weigh in regardless! I weighed in this morning. I wanted to get past 118kg. I was EXACTLY 118kgs. I went to the gym did my stuff. came home. and weighed myself naked before showering. 116.9kgs. Now. I don't think my PJ's weigh 1kg, not shorts and a tank top, really. But. I figure. If I AM 116.9kgs today after my work…
  • Nike logo facing up with it lengthways with your shoe? I have mine sticky taped to the tongue of my Adidas shoes. I only walk at the moment and it works perfectly. When I am outside though I tend to use the Nike + GPS app. if I stop for any length of time mine stops working and it pauses the work out. like. after a minute…
  • *slaps you* tomorrow = new day. you can't change it. Just learn from it. YOU ARE FREAKIN' AWESOME! Look at those 90lbs, you can't, why? Because YOU LOST THEM! They're gone. one day won't make them come back. just keep moving :)
