  • Thats totally achievable. Focus more on cutting calories rather than the gym if that isn't your thing. (Gyms intimidate me heaps!) Try going for walks or doing a fun group class once a week with a supportive friend.
  • If you have a lot of weight to lose, speak to your doctor about plans and maybe seeing a specialist like a dietician. Losing a large amount of weight is really hard and will take time. Your body will go through a lot of changes and it's great feeling like you have a "team" to support you! (No, I'm not saying HEAPS of…
  • A month down of no drinking and I actually don't want to start again! NOTE: I'm just a social drinker but decided to help weight loss and general helth it would be a good step :)

  • If I make burgers I sub a bread roll for some flatbread - in a C shape to hold it together. Been having lots of berries instead of other fruit in my shakes because they are low sugar & cal

  • Had a muffin and lost half a days calories in one hit! :(
  • My doctor prescribed me some diet pills but I quickly decided they weren't for me. I suffered heart palpatations, hot & cold flushes and sleeplessness. While the pills did supress my appetite and give me increased energy I found that it was not a healthy solution for weight loss. I had absolutely NO appetite at all which…
  • I have a similar but easier recipe! I use chicken breasts (lower in fat) Sprinkle a pack of french onion soup over the chicken. Pour a can of regular coke over top Bake in covered dish for 45 mins in moderate oven (180 degrees C)
  • Work your way up to eating veg by itself. Treat yourself like a kid learning to eat veggies and hide them in your food. It's easy to add grated carrot or zucchini into heaps of things like mince, sauce, even muffins. Try soups like minestrone or chicken and vegetable. Add some flavour with herbs & spices, even honey. if…
  • Anais Anais by Cacharel is very girly and floral - an oldie but a goodie :)
  • Ummm, isn't that only 15lbs?
