I know how hard it is having lost over 50kgs! Kudos to you for making yourself accountable and opting for health!! Congratulations Jztime!! :)

I've noticed a huge discrepancy between the calorie burns, which is why I invested in a HRM heart rate monitor, using a "watch" and chest strap a number of years ago. They are fairly expensive but well worth the cost, as it gives you the most accurate calorie burn. I lost over 50kg's and have maintained the weight loss for…

The Woolies organic rice cakes are brilliant and don't contain any sodium. The slimmers choice range is also great (especially the frozen yoghurts) :)

Bump, that sounds totally delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

I totally agree! Cardio first whilst I'm feeling energised then strength training afterward!

When I first started on MFP, my Body Fat Index was 48.6%. Horrific to say the least! In Sept last year, my trainer did the caliper test and my BFI was 22.02%. Much better! My trainer did the caliper test again a couple of days ago and this is the text message he sent me: "Your body fat index using sum of skinfolds on:…

... hi from sunny South Africa :)

I'm 50 yrs old and for many years I tried to lose weight to no avail until I joined MFP.

Bump for reading later! Fabulous ideas :)

I started on MFP at the beginning of January and have lost 40kg (88pounds). Have gone from size 24/26 jeans to 12/14 jeans. My goal though, is to get to size 10. Best of luck, you CAN do it!! :smile:

Lol, but hey, we live in a First world African country - note: hint of sarcasm!!

I also tend to want savory foods so: 1. yoghurt with your own homemade salsa added or 2. use it as a "creamy" salad dressing with herbs and lemon juice added or 3. Grate some cucumber, add some mint and garlic and you have a greek tsatsiki sauce - great with grilled fish or chicken or 4. Add some to a herb flavoured cream…

Thank you very much indeed Leeloominai01 :flowerforyou:

Joined MFP at the start of this year and had huge success. 37kg's gone!! I live in Sandton, Johannesburg :)

I turned 50 in May and yes, its totally possible to lose weight if you are older. I joined MFP on the 6th Jan '12 and in 220 days, I have lost 75lb's (34kg's). At the onset I went to both my doctor and his nutritionist and they have me on a very strict routine. I have eliminated all wheat and gluten due to health issues.…

Great sites for some fabulous new meals and recipes :)
