As far as I know it's because when you work muscles, you get tiny tears in them, the tears heal back stronger and make muscles, don't give them time to heal, and you're going to do more damage than good.

MOvember is well know in Australia :) first thing i thought of when I saw this title. haha.

Girl from Adelaide here :) Welcome.

Voted and posted it on facebook :)

You are super fantastic!

You are AWESOME! that's all.

*fixes the linkage* :-) ps, well done! :) your face looks a lot thinner!

So. add a belly massage every night in to your regime *L* My sister has had 3 kids (her 4th is on the way), she's got a bit of a saggy bit of skin and a scar from 2 c-sections, she's been researching and told me that people had some great results from just massaging their saggy bits (I don't know how big the sag is that…

I always soak oats over night and then cook them in the morning. I make them for my son *Im not a huge fan* and I put a spoon of honey and enough water on them to cover them and leave them over night to soak, and then I add milk in the morning and cook them. My exMIL puts dried fruit in hers. My exHusband uses steel cut…

Another Adelaidian hello :)

i had my gallbladder out back in 2007 i think it was >< even then i wasnt phased by weight. i still have the jar of stones. a full small pee cup 100's of them. There was a 'skinny' lady in the room with me that night after the op who was actually worse off, they had to put a drain in hers, so i know that gallstones aren't…

I have been here (on MFP) for 3 months, trying to watch the calories, clearly failling, I started at 122kgs. I was 124 last week. HOW did that happen? I walk 4kms almost every day (atleast 3 times a week), I watch what I eat, and I gain 2 kgs in 3 months? That. THAT made me go to the gym and get a personal trainer. I start…

I try to get 10 cups a day >< which is why it's annoying. I will not like this if I drink too little for a day and then I get a headache. that would be unfun. ha. but. I guess all the more reason to consume the water.

I bought some pants from alight.com recently. they don't have anything much bigger than me though >< a couple of their 3x's sizes are actually tight on me. (good thing Im starting the gym this week. haha)

is portion control and over eating one of the reasons you've put the weight on? >< I know people who have had them successfully and couldn't be happier (gastric bypass). And I know my grandmother had one many moons ago and over ate and popped it (back in the stomach stapling days). So. There's good and there's bad, it's…

whoop. thanks for reminded me. I had to upload todays data :)

I have only seen people log cleaning. not the sex or the grocery shopping. I always tend to log about 10 minutes LESS than the intentional exercise that I do. (I TRY to get out and walk 4-5kms every day). I think the cleaning is overkill, you'd do that normally, so why log it? it's not like you're intentionally going to…

You should savour that waffle. I have never had one in my whole life. (they're not a standard food sold in malls and what not over here, we only got pretzel stands about 5 years ago or so)

You are the alpha male *L* hahaha.

I'm going to say it. Tena Lady pads *L* Really, I found the first week or so. I have been drinking about 10 - 12 cups of water a day, prior I would go days without drinking a glass of water. Anyway. In the first week or so I found I needed to get up and pee in the middle of the night, now, being that I have a…

holy moses. she is small in 6/8 Australian sizes. I don't even know anyone that size. haha. I know 10's and 12's Australian. I am a 22/24 Australia, which is like an 18 American, apparently. But I ordered some clothes online, that apparently around the general size and they're too small, only a couple are just right, but I…

I have been up and down since joining, hence not losing any. I am considering joining the gym. but I wanted to get through 10kgs ON MY OWN. So I know I can do it. My ex-husband is over and actually noticed I am walking faster than I used to, even 5 years ago. So there's a positive, I am getting fitter at least!

~ Another Aussie who just said NO to eating a Tim Tam. I am Awesome.

I call myself a fattie all the time. haha. I do it mainly as a defense mechanism against non-fatties that like to insult the fatties, if that makes sense? and. I would just like to say,you people are insane with Disney. ha. people think I am bad with it. But I am Australian, so we don't have parks to visit :( I have never…

I moved furniture the other day and did not go for my walk, I didn't log the furniture moving. I don't see logging the every day things as a necessity. I think it would be counter-productive because I'd probably think I have that room to spare to eat more, when I shouldn't.

need I say more. Don't lay claim that you're right when your circumstances were above and beyond normal. You're only going to throw out more confusion to people on here, and it's not really necessary.

10lbs? 5kgs a week? that's completely insane and quite unhealthy.

you eat back what you burn when you would like to maintain. otherwise you eat less than, but always over 1200 calories, to avoid starvation mode. I have been reading a fair bit about it and everyone seems so confused about eating back calories.

I like Mash-Ups http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhnNKv09OxA Lady Gaga vs. Black Eyed Peas (Fergie) - Poker Hump Mashup 2009 Made by DJ NATH Some regular 'not so dancey songs" can be made to be something quite helpful when I am trying to walk faster.
