Sometimes I miss eating large servings of chocolate, cake and biscuits. But the rewards of not doing that are way bigger than indulging my sweet tooth.

And I thought I was the only one with jogging in public insecurities! It got easier for me when I changed my thinking too, these people don't know me and chances are, wont ever see me again and if they do, i'll be smaller so who cares! And I'd rather get good results from my exercise rather than let 'other people/my…

Would this plan work if you have an undiognosed thyroid problem? I don't know if I do or not but I haven't been able to loose any weight the last 3 attempts. The last being now. Haven't been able to loose anything in a month! A few years ago when doing the same thing I could easily loose .5 - 2 kg every week! So I'm about…

I was going for a walk and I tripped and started to fall over and I was unable to bring my leg forward quickly enough to stop me which I normally could have done without extra weight. It was such a horrible feeling that I vowed i would lose weight and never get this big again (which happened cause I went through 2…

I have been eating ALOT of fruit for the past month or so and basically in that time haven't been able to lose weight even though I've been working our hard and keeping under my calorie goals. It has been very difficult for me to stay strong and carry on with no results. So, today, I was reading how people who want to lose…

I always found that if I ran in the afternoon/evening, my shins would get mega sore but if i ran in the early morning with a decent warm up, I wouldn't get sore shins. This may or may not be helpful to you but in your situation, i'd go see a doctor! And don't give up! Keep up with the healthy eating as at the end of the…

I normally tell myself straight away, "I don't do that any more". My brain believes it and the urge goes away pretty much instantly. Replacing a bad comforting habit with a good habit is helpful too. So when you drive past McDonalds and feel like you just have to have some, drive to the nearest park and walk briskly or jog…

Thanks for this post. I really needed to read this today. My weight has stayed the same for almost a month now and I was starting to think there must be something wrong with me now, not being able to lose weight as on previous weight loss efforts over the years, ALWAYS showed a lose every week on the scale. I have noticed…

You look amazing! Well done! Such an inspiration :smile:

http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/2012/02/plant-based-diet/ Maybe this will help. I'm still trying to raise calories in a healthy way also and making fruit smoothies and adding chia seeds, carob powder and a Tblsp of coconut oil helps. Coconut oil is actually very good for you, so I've been reading..

Maybe taking small baby steps would help. LIke, if you just can not say NO to a bowl of ice cream, have half the amount you normally would. That way your still getting what you want but only doing half as much damage. I've only recently had the 'rock bottom moment' (this time around at loosing weight), when a friend wanted…

80ish kg

That's so awesome! Well done! Can't wait to get there myself :smile:

I'm a pear shape and always HATED it, especially with lots of weight to loose as i feel way out of proportion. But if you look at what celebrities are pear shaped, like for example, Kim Kardashian, and learn what style of clothes compliment you, it doesn't have to be a negative thing. If I can get past hating my pear…

When I was a kid a friends mother said I had legs like tree stumps. As an adult, "she'd be really hot if she were slim. People just don't realize that comments like that, regardless of how its said with what intentions, really hurt and stay with you for life. I've also been in the company of people who saw an overweight…

Well done!!!

Well done!

Otago :o)

That's awesome! Well done :)

I have no friends on MFP, please add me :o) I joined ages ago, but gave up quite soon after. I'm back for another go and hopefully I will succeed this time around.
