ARGH!! x2

Polar FT7. Affordable, gives you heart rate & calories burned. Comes with usb attachment to sinc with Polar web. AWESOME gadget... would not be without it! :)

I have not read through all your posts, but I work out at least 4 days a week (often twice a day) and burn anywhere between 430 - 1300 calories a day. Zumba works for me and a typical workout doing just that can be between 400 and 700 calories per hour.

Jeez.... I've seen food stuff on this thread I never knew existed! What an education.... :laugh:

Ai1992: Beautiful smile. Gorgeous :)

Yikes.... Sounds like you need a hug and he needs a hug AND a boot up the backside! Now is not the time to judge you as a parent... water under the bridge, but it's never too late to make changes either. You and your husband have to stand together on this matter and set out firm boundaries. It's all about tough love, good…

The hard work continues and I can honestly say that I have made that all important lifestyle change. Nearly a year later and I'm still going strong... getting fitter, getting stronger and shaping in all the right places. I will never ever take the hard work that went into this personal challenge for granted..... but I've…

Expect for all the important things that don't cost money like having hubby home, etc.... I really want a VITAMIX!! :)

Thanks again. The photo in the middle was taken after I had lost around 27kgs. The last photograph was taken last week and a total loss of 35kg. :happy: Quite a few people have asked about loose skin, well all I can say is exercise, water and non-processed foods worked for me. A bit wobbly around the waist but I know with…

Thank you so much for all the positive comments. It is much appreciated and I hope that in return, my weight loss inspires you to follow your weight loss dream! :)

LOL... The one thing I can't stop noticing on the before photo is the size of my boobs and the width of my waist! Blimey... no wonder I was exhausted! :laugh:

Thank you! :flowerforyou: Tamisha15.... My advice would be to throw those scales as far away as possible! Instead, weigh yourself once a week at your local pharmacy and get a print out to stick on your fridge! Scales can really screw it up for us especially when we can resist weighing each day. I have not weighed in for 2…

Hello! :wink: I'm just about to turn 43 and have managed to lose my weight over 8 months. I joined MFP in January 2012 after losing around 14lbs already. Here's how I've done it.... Diet: I primarily eat raw foods, but whether raw or cooked, I do not touch processed foods. Anything mass made by man I avoid. Sounds extreme,…

You look AMAZING!!! Well done and thank you for sharing..... You are truly inspirational!!! xx

Great post! Thanks for sharing :) I'm going to try the Dynamic Warm Up exercises.... will keep you posted!

You look FANTASTIC!! YEARS AND YEARS younger!! Enjoy your achievement and never forget the hard work you did to get here! CONGRATULATIONS!!! :flowerforyou:

43 soon! : :smile:

I'm being ruthless as I will never ever want to wear a size 20 again! I have just given all the 20's to a friend who's happy the way she is. I had some favorites too, but whats the point of hanging onto old memories when you have space & energy for a whole lot of new memories? Enjoy your journey.... Letting go is one of…

I just came across this quote.... “I set my own value in this world. I am not affected by others opinions of me. Another’s opinion of me has no worth. I am secure in my self-worth. My opinion of me is high, protected and sacred.” – Marcia Persaud

You are ABSOLUTELY beautiful!!!! Congratulations!!! :flowerforyou:

When I'm out running and I see an obese person running, I congratulate them by saying... "good going". I love running too but I've never analysed the looks I got. I just got my head down and focussed on myself. I think we're so hard on ourselves and assume other runners think of us what we think of ourselves! Don't be…

Flippen BRILLIANT! You have turned yourself around..... BIGGEST BLOODY ROUND OF APPLAUSE EVER!!! :flowerforyou:

OMG..... Your hard work has paid off! You look PHENOMENAL!!!!! Congratulations!!!

"Drive" with Ryan Gosling! Saw it at Cinema in Paris in Oct 2011 and then watched it last weekend on DVD! FANTASTIC!!!

No idea to why you would want to but YES in the short run.... NO in the long run! Soon enough your organs will start protesting the crap and you'll definitely not age gracefully! My 2 cents worth...... :wink:

Awesome!!! Well done:flowerforyou:

Wow wow wow!!!! You are stunning!!! Congratulations :flowerforyou:
