Hi everyone, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all, I know I probably won't still be up at that time. I only just saw the challenge for the day. I couldn't get the water in, however I did do 30 minutes on the treadmill and 90 minutes of weights, before my 3 year old got up and starting harassing me. Has anyone else had an upset tummy…

Hi, I am in Brisbane, would love to add anyone who wants to be my friend as well. Have been using this site for awhile now, and I love it. The people on here really make a difference in keeping me motivated. Kind Regards, Chantelle

Tuesday was a good day, I did make the exercise, with 60 minutes on treadmill. Didn't make the water goal though, but was under calorie intake. Today much better, 60 minutes on treadmill, also under calorie intake and surprisingly made the water intake as well. Thanks for the updates, can't wait to see what next couple of…

Hi There, So we have started today, my weight was 73.7, so I am not sure what that is in pounds. Just out of curiosity is the goal date (Valentine's Day) the 14th of February?

I would love to join you as well. I think that it is a great idea. What a nice way to spend Valentine's Day. I will only be weighing in on Monday, my mother-in-law (well sort of, we aren't married) and I are having a competition to see who can lose the most, so that works for me. Please feel free to add me as a friend.…

Hi There, you will love this site, I have had so much motivation for the people here. Please feel free to add me as a friend if you want to. Kind Regards, Chantelle

Hi, I found that my Aha moment was when I realised that I was coming up to the age my mother died and I didn't want to have my little girl go through what I went through. I must say though, once I made that decision, I have really stuck to it. I love all of the support that I get from the people here, it is wonderful.

Hi There, please don't worry about one off day, we all have them. You are doing well just by trying. If you need some motivation or support, please feel free to add me to your list of friends, I would be happy to help. Kind Regards, Chantelle

Hi, welcome to the site, you will find that you will get so much support from this site. I have found that I have lost more weight since joining here with all of the support of my friends added. Please feel free to add me if you like. Kind Regards, Chantelle

Welcome to the site, it is great help, I have made some WONDERFUL friends on here who are so supportive. If you need motivation they are always there. If you need a friend, please feel free to add me.

Hi, I am an Australian too, live in Brisbane, love the idea of having our own thread. Feel free (if you want) to add me as a friend. Regards Chantelle

Thanks everyone, I will try some of those exercises and see how I go. Again, thank you Chantelle

If you are looking to add friends for motivation, please feel free to add me, I love this site soo much and have found it extremely motivating

Hi, I am from Australia too, would love some friends to keep me company.

If you ever need to add a friend, please feel free to add me. We can do it together. You have taken the best step that you can by asking for help and getting up and doing exercise

I use Leeks in a Zucchini pie instead of onions, it gives it a really nice taste

You have taken the first step by starting. If you need a friend, please feel free to add me, we can all do it together. I am finding that being on MFP has really helped me alot

I find it interesting that there are so many myths as to when is the best time to exercise. I find that I don't have time in the mornings to do it, and I can't do it at night time because I will be up all night long. My man finds that the best time for him is in the morning before he goes to work. The best time for me is…

Hi, I have had the Implanon for about a year now, and from the absolute beginning I wasn't having any bleeding. That was up to 2 months ago when I started to regularly do exercise, I started getting really sore about 2 weeks before and then started cramping a week before. But it wasn't as bad when it finally started. I…

I understand how you feel, the amount of times I have done the same thing. I try not to buy any clothes now for that reason. It is hard, but keep going, you are taking the right steps by still exercising. Its hard to stay motivated. Hang in there though. Regards Chantelle

Thanks for that, I will add it in. Definitely not Homework. Although that would be nice if that counted :smile:

Please don't get me wrong, I am sure it does happen. I just don't think that it is fair to put that pressure on anybody to feel that they have to be skinny to do well.

It also sounds a little bit "scare tactic" as well. I don't think that saying women earn less because they are overweight sends the right message to people.

If you need some help, maybe we can do it together? Regards Chantelle

Wow, thanks for that, I found it very interesting to read. Regards Chantelle

I've never heard of that one before, where do you get it from?
