with more confusion on protein *L* " Extra protein does not automatically make extra muscle. In fact, if you eat more protein than your body uses, it will be stored as fat. So, bodybuilders who down six chicken breasts at time in between high-protein shakes and bars may be adding more to their waistline than their biceps."

I just read this. "A general rule of thumb is to aim for at least a gram of protein per pound of body weight. So for those of us working on the metric system, as in Australia, we’ll convert that. There are 2.2 pounds to one kilogram, roughly speaking. So if 1 gram of protein per every pound is the goal, then for every…

w00t \o/ you look good! :)

depends on the amounts and the types of carbs you are eating. I would think. If they're all bad carbs. (white = bad) then I'd say switch to brown / the most whole foods you can get. multigrain bread. nomnomnom don't know about the protein. I am almost always over myself. haha.

I have seen a thread in the forums with a group of people with 200lbs + to lose. I am in the 100lbs+ group somewhere >< when I get time to read. haha. But. Welcome none the less. I am sure you'll do just GREAT! :)

Dude. That's freakin' awesome :)

Definitely. 3 years ago I got off all my meds (I was on them for 5 years) I was mainly on Effexor. At my worst and at the highest dose of effexor I was agoraphobic I was that anxious about going out and about and doing ANYTHING. I changed meds and it got better (not fully) in the last 3 years I have managed without being…

I feel guilty that I don't comment enough. I have a great list of friends. a little group of them are always commenting and saying well done! Now I feel a little worse about not commenting. ha. I hope no one feels like you do about being my friend on here :( eep. any way. Here's my uplifting comment. YOU'RE AWESOME. and…

http://cooking-books.blogspot.com/2009/02/baked-spinach-chips.html I tried these at one point. not for me. But. Well worth a try instead of taters.

I say go with the inner ear headphones. My exhusband swears by them. especially when on public transport and the like. They're definitely worth the investment in the long run, and just remember you HAVE to have them turned down lower. ha.

Every Monday morning. - Not naked *L*

Protein will help you build your muscle mass(women don't get buff, don't freak out) and it helps you to feel fuller longer.

I have to lose the amount of trash you throw away in a month? Damn. Wish I could get rid of it in a month. hahahahahah.

Good luck! I am working on being at a healthy BMI by my 30th birthday. It's a real wake up call when you get on in life and have a kid and he wants to run around everywhere. You remember that you LOVED doing that as a kid. That's my motivation. Anyway :)

Once a week. sometimes less. I try to remember to do it on Mondays *L*

Otherwise known as "Cognitive Behavioural Therapy" by your doctor. I once had a guy say to me (while I was on a high dose of antidepressants) "Just think you are happy and you will be happy". Back then I could have stabbed him with a spoon in his face. But. To some extent (he was rather simplistic) he was right. You have…

w0000!! I am too afraid to let go of the treadmil while walking at 5kmph *L* (3.5mph). I am sure that confidence comes with time.

1) STOP WEIGHING YOURSELF! 2) drink water. 3) make sure you are active I joined back in June, My ticker has only gone down two kgs since then. I went up and up. My problem? I wasn't pushing myself hard enough. I have joined the gym since. and the first week I am down 1.2kgs.

I have heard that massaging the area can help a bit. It increases the blood flow to the area and helps smooth it out. Whether it works is another thing. I think everyone who has a large amount of weight to lose is scared of this. I have been overweight for at least 10 years, I am 28. I was 80kgs (170lbs) when I was 16. I…

*smacks you up side the head* get to it then. :D haha.

there is no spoon. great analogy. just like normal. It's relative. therefore what's normal to you is not normal to me, so there's no such thing as normal. What is will power to someone else, may be just common sense to another. So on and so forth.

You forgot "they're" and "your' and "you're" ha. they pissss me off a lot. OH. and lack of punctuation. It saves lives. Lets eat grandma. Let's eat, grandma. *I linked a picture, but it has swear words. look out photoshop! *L*

I don't think it's normal to feel guilty. It's a slip up. Pobody's Nerfect. You shouldn't feel condemned for eating something bad in 7 weeks. 7 WEEKS! I find it hard enough going 7 days! I have a friend, she's trying to lose 12kgs (20lbs or there abouts). She eats chocolate EVERY NIGHT and she goes out for a drink. She…

I have been here since June, look at my ticker. it SUCKS *L* I was walking 4-5kms at least 3 days a week, but guess what? I wasn't walking fast enough. pushing my son in the pusher at 3-4kmph wasn't enough. I joined the gym. I have lost almost 2kgs (4lbs) in a week or two (I can't remember when I weighed in at 124kgs, I…

ps. I know guys. I actually thought for a minute there about deleting my facebook. But maybe I'll just take off the exercise posts. I've my Nike+ hooked up to it too. So people *may* be getting sick of seeing my distances each and every day. hahaha. Although I've a cousin on there that posts from RunKeeper himself. ho hum.…

SQUIRREL!

Wouldn't it be nice to be a goldfish? (although it's false that they only have a 5 second memory, i'll play on that anyway) Sometimes I talk without thinking, it's worse IRL, harder to back out of. I'm a pro at it online. hahaha.

Anyway. That's my rant for today. I just didn't want to "blog" about it. Because I wanted to blog something else. hahahaha. ranting done. I am sure I shoved her back in her box now.

Aye. I know it's different than here. People are just stupid. Sarcasm I can deal with. I'm Australian, my grandfather used to tell me he tie me up behind his Ute and make me run behind to lose weight *L* But really. Some people just don't *think* before writing. I've had those posts going up for weeks. ><

*replies to her own post* Melissa J H I said I just ate that. While you are out working out. Your doing better than I am. Your status made me feel like a guilty pig 3 minutes ago · Like Sandra W Right. And so you should. I have 64kgs to lose. I don't need to read **** about what you're eating while I am trying to lose a…
