Hi everyone! I'm jacqui, pregnant with my first. Due early August. I have used MFP many times over the last 10 years or so. Wanting to track my food as I've been getting terrible heartburn and wanting to try and figure out if there is something in particular that is causing it.. looking forward to going through this with…

I'm in the same boat too. But been trying for 5 years! Lost the weight then moved out of home and put it all back on! Add me :)

Hi I'm Jacqui, 24, from Newcastle NSW Australia. Feel free to add. I would love some more support and constructive criticism :)

I'm from Newcastle NSW. Was active a few years ago but moved and got way out of shape. Getting back into it now. Feel free to add me

I have a Garmin Vivofit which I really like. You can purchase a chest strap that pairs with the watch to track calories burnt for exercise other than walking.

I've been back active for a month now. Doing quite well. Feel free to add me :) From Newcastle NSW

Welcome. I have sent a FR. From Newcastle NSW :)

I am in much the same boat. I lost 15 kgs then put it all back on plus about 5-10 more when I moved out of home. Back down to 10-15 kgs to go but would love additional support :)

Reverse crunches. Back and head on the floor, legs raised at a right angle and lift bum off the floor. You can hold onto something with your arms over your head if you wish to held get your bum higher off the floor.

OMG! Wow! Great commitment and result! Well done to you.

I have used Jillian Michael's DVD's in the past. I used 30 Shred, it was really good. All you need is a few weights once you get fitter and stronger and maybe a yoga mat. You can start off without or use things like water bottles or milk bottle (or wine bottle like my mum did! Unopened of course). The DVD was great. I got…

I had a quick look. I looked okay but maybe try to add some more fruit & veggies. I'm terrible with sodium content as well, only thing I do is try to limit pre-packaged foods. These are always high in salt & sugar.

This is my favourite from today: "Never quit. If you stumble, get back up. What happened yesterday no longer matters. Today's another day, so get back on track and move closer to your dreams and goals. You can do it!"

Eggs, Seafood besides tuna, avocado, zucchini, capsicum.... I could go on and on with vegetable. I don't have any issues finding enough to eat though!

Get a heart rate monitor (HRM) . I had the same thing when I started. Get a HRM, I have a Polar. They are really great. You might, if you do some research, find one that is water resistant so you can wear it for your water classes as well.

I just made a pizza for dinner. I added things as I put them on the pizza to here. I didn't add usuals like salami or cabanossi and only a small amount of cheese and over 750 cals. Now I will probably only eat half but I was surprised how quick it added up!

Hi. From North west NSW. Feel free to add. Would like more friends to help with advise and motivation :)

I'm an Aussie!! Currently living in Moree (Northern NSW) but originally from near Newcastle NSW. Out here in Moree we have over 40 degrees basically every day... we hit 47.something the other Friday... Slightly warm!! Anyone can add me.. I need all the help I can get and it would be great to go through the journey with…

Yes please! Need a bit of help getting back into the swing of things!! Been out for a while...

Great work. And also remember that it's not all about the scale. Take measurements and photoes. I wish I did when I first started cause now I don't have anything to compare with. I took my first photoes about halfway through but I wish I took them earlier. Good luck with your journey :) Also it's excellent that you and…

Anyone?

Maybe you're not eating enough. Try searching for 'In Place of Road Map 2.0' in the message boards and read that. Also as others have said it's one day. It is a calorie goal not a limit. Try to aim for the exact number you are given. If you go over or under by a bit it's nothing to worry about. Tomorrow is a new day.…

My sister told me a story about some people she knows who saw the word 'Kerosene' and liked it. They named their daughter after it. Pronounced 'Ker-oss-on-nee'. I also have heard 'William Williams'. Poor people. I feel bad for them. My boyfriends last name is Martin so I always joke 'Martin Martin' haha. No way could I do…

Thanks for the suggestions. I have just bought a copy of 'It Starts With Food' book. It will take a bit to get to me but it whould be worth it. I am also getting a copy of "New Rules of Lifting For Women'. I will be looking into 'Starting Strength" when I've got a bit more money. Keep the suggestions coming! Thanks so much…

Get right back into it of course!!! The more you try something the easier it gets right? I am sure every single person on here has had something similar happen to them. They have a bad day and they eat something they probably shouldn't. I am not saying that you do, but if this happens a lot maybe try to keep most of the…

Maybe try adding some calorie rich foods into your diet. They can still be healthy. Like nuts. They are full of good fats. Also may try for the full calorie versions of things: full cream milk and cheese. These are also good fats. Maybe start with upping your calories a little and do a walk if you need to be out of the…

Veggies.. Things such as carrot, broccoli, beans, sweet potato and cauliflower I love, also zucchini, corn, peas, squash. But any really. Bake them, steam them, how ever your prefer them. And just have a massive plate. It will fill you up and be really yummy! If you want some meat, maybe some chicken or something like that.

All I am going to post is a link to another post. I suggest you read it. It is really good. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

There has got to be someone!

anyone at all?
