hey same -goal twins!

^^Absolutely this. Who has time for luke warm people in dating? If someones actions indicate "meh" move on life is too short.

I <3 that group.

My BMR is higher than most because I am obese. BMR 1750 When I reach my goal weight it will be BMR 1268 When I started at MFP I was sedentary (never moved from the computer and was still recovering from the tail end of a chronic fatigue episode. I thought I knew alot about health and fitness as I use to be very fit. In…

Im 5 5" Current measurements -dont even want to think about it at 100 pounds overweight. Measurements at my fittest - Bust 36 Waist 24 Hips 36 Best I ever looked was when I cycled and swam for fun, did alot of bush hiking with the dogs. Only time I hit the gym was 3x week to lift heavy.

You are very near your goal weight so rather than an extreme lowering of your calories, consider upping your calories so they are only alttle below your TDEE and lifting heavy. If you look at top bikini model workouts they usually lift heavy. The small deficit will mean the weight loss is slower but you will lose less lean…

Copied and paste from this site - http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/food-sources-of-potassium.php Avocados are great when made into guacamole or in a salad. 100 grams will provide 485mg of potassium or 14% of the RDA. That is 1.1g (32% RDA) in one cup pureed, and 975mg (28% RDA) in a single avocado (201 grams).…

Your telling me! Congrats!

Is there a group that does healthy budget food recipes and cost saving ideas?

this would be me straight after reaching for the very first "just one"chip

Thats fantastic. Great to hear! :)

For aussies there is a women doing a blog of feeding her family of four with $120 a week. http://120dollarsfoodchallenge.com/ I have been checking out the difference between buying chicken at coles and going to a butcher 8.90 kilo for chicken thighs at coles and 5.99 for chicken breast at the butcher. I think its time I…

I am so glad its possible for you. Its hard when there isnt income coming in. I am just amazed how cheap food is over there.

Minimum wage here (Australia) is almost $16 an hour for full time and $18.95 if you are casual. If your casual then you get a percent loading on top of that which for a fast food worker equates to a minimum wage of 21.25 an hour. Found an interesting article on American/Australian /NewZealand wage comparisons which really…

$50 dollars a month!? How is that possible? I pay that much at least a week and I am single. $35 - $40 dollars a month just on chicken $12-$15 dollars a month on bananas, chinese cabbage $16 a month, baby spinach $30 a month, other leafy greens and salad stuff $35 a month various condiments extras $25 -$ 35 a month Brown…

yay Gemi! That is great.

Dropped 1.2 kilos (2.64 pounds)

Kale chips are so good! Easy to do as well!

^^This

ummm nooo!? You sure he wasn't giving you an "Extra"? What the hell!?

When your making a lifestyle change 7 days is not much in the scheme of things. Find as many ways to be kind to yourself as you can while your going through this hard time. Sometimes a week or so off for your body from lifting can be a good thing. I had a lifting friend who had a planned week off every 4 months or so and…

I dont see anything wrong with what he said at all. He wants a running partner to share his interests. He didnt insult your looks or personality.

Yeah really I just like the playing with numbers geekery of it :) Other stuff on my table that feeds into charts - Net calories, exercise calories, TOM, just putting sodium in now. I have colour coding as well showing the downward or upward trend day by day on the actual chart as well as colour code on the calories showing…

^^^This, really I think so.

Hahahaha! What a satisifying thud sound that would have made. Its amazing how we don't expect to be bullied once we get into adulthood but thats exactly what just happened to you. Typical sociopath mind game there. You must have been looking happy and she had to rip that out of you to make herself feel better. Sounds like…

Good move!

Just goes to show its our measuring tape that is king in deciphering our progress! Volume...huh! Thats not one I had thought that much about either!

Inspirational! :) Especially your legs look really great.

Congrats! : D

This is so awesome.. Yeah you dont see much in the way of people posting about tape measure fluctuations! :)
