My beautiful daughter is also a vegetarian. I eat meat, although not alot of red meat, but when I was pregnant with her I could not stand the sight of meat. I couldnt touch it or smell it without wanting to throw up. When she was a baby and I started introducing meat into her diet she would turn her nose up, push it away…

Hi, from Queenslands' Sunshine Coast

My sister used to put a few drops of pure rosemary oil in her conditioner and she swore that this was why her hair was so long, thick and lovely.

A holiday at a beach house sounds fabulous!!! Lucky you! ENJOY!!! Drink wine, eat cheese, laugh and have fun with your friends and then take long walks along the beach at sunrise and sunset, swim in the ocean, throw a beach ball around, maybe a game of beach volley ball or cricket. Keep active and burn off those calories…

2 hours of womens' flat track roller derby training, with an amazing coach who has the magic ability to push me way beyond what I think is my absolute limit. I LOVE IT!!!!

I love both dresses but for a night at the opera I would choose the first one with the floaty sleeves.

beautiful, wise, strong, inspiring, brave, determined, motivated, successful, courageous, resilient, positive, exceptional. These are just some of the words that came to mind when I was reading your story. You have given your daughter a precious gift by showing her who you are, and by being the best you can be you have…

Sunshine Coast , Queensland. Welcome to MFP :flowerforyou:

Have you put the food in your food tracker? It will add up all the numbers for you in regards to calories, fat, protein etc and when you have finished for the day it will tell you what you can expect to weigh in a few weeks if you ate like that every day.

P.S I cant remember what the movie was, but I'll never forget that night. LOL

Haha, I was only talking about this yesterday. Back when I was a teenager (long time ago) My boyfriend had a old sandman panel van which he spent every weekend working on. It was the 80's and it was the fashion to line the inside of the back of the van with fake fur and mirrors etc. So when it was finished and complete…

Congratulations!! 6 kilos is a great loss. What kind of exercise are you doing? If you dont like it then maybe find something that you do like. It will make it much easier to do and you wont feel so angry/sad etc. Is there a sport you could get involved in? do you like dancing? bike riding? walking? yoga? It doesnt matter…

Well done for making the step towards a new, healthier you. The calorie goals are a great guide to see where all the calories are coming from and its great to see them go when you exercise. Keep tracking your food, every single thing you eat, and use the guides to help educate yourself and make healthier choices. After a…

big learning curves here too :smile:

WOW!! Thank you all so much for the encouragement and helpful advice. I keep hearing about Allen Carrs book, so I will definitely go out and buy it. The thought of having to start all over again if I have just one cigarette is a good motivator to NOT have even one.:smokin: :noway: I am afraid of putting on weight but, yes…

NOOOO! I cant believe Margie voted Selina out. Heartless, is all I can say without swearing!!!!

Hi, I had a quick look at your food diary (hope you dont mind) and I noticed that you eat alot of fast food. I understand that you are very busy with school and work and fast food is convenient, but Im wondering if all this processed food has anything to do with you feeling tired? Fast food is full of calories, salt, sugar…

I dont think you look frumpy at all. You have beautiful skin, a pretty face and I really like your hair.

My sister was showing her new boyfriend (who I had only just met ) some photos from when we were younger (and skinnier) she told him that I used to have a body like Kylie Minogue. He turned around and said wow! you looked HOT! ... What happened???...........*kitten*!!!!

I love this idea. I am going to make one on the weekend and keep it in the kitchen. Then if someone says Im losing my marbles I can say "thanks"

Love it! I exercise ( sit ups, leg lifts, scissor kicks etc) in the ad breaks.

Ive been looking at this thread and it hasnt moved, which is kinda sad considering its called "finding momentum" C'mon Aussies where are you? Hope you all had a great Australia Day today. I started the day at a concert, singing and playing in my band, then home for a quick nana nap ( rock and roll LOL) Then out to dinner…

WOW!!! You look like you've gone from frumpy middle aged to trendy 20 something!!! What an amazing transformation, I'm really impressed. How much did you lose? You look absolutely stunning!. ps. I love your boots too :)

great work! you look really pretty and your haircut is cute. I have over 60lbs to lose and seeing your fab pics is inspiring

Nothing but rain, rain and more rain here on Queenslands "Sunshine Coast" Thinking I might have to put flippers, goggles and snorkle on, just to venture outside LOL

Naked, first thing in the morning after going to the toilet, AND in front of a full length mirror. Woah!! talk about confronting LOL!!

I know how you feel. I put on 2lbs after my first week and was soooo disappointed. But I kept going, and this week I have lost the 2lbs I put on plus another 1lb. I know i will have good weeks and not so good weeks on this journey but I am not going to give up, because giving up is what lead me to piling on all this weight…

Thanks, mystery solved :smile:

Can someone tell me what "bump" means. I keep seeing it in posts and dont understand what it is.
