Hi, and welcome. Friend request sent..

Perhaps you are exerting yourself just a bit too much. Maybe try just slowing thing down for a week or too and see if that makes and difference.. But you probably should see your doctor just in case there is something wrong. No harm in going and them simply saying there is nothing......

I like constructive criticism, both people giving it to me, and giving to others. If don't like to comment on peoples completed diaries if they are not open. Who knows what they are actually eating. I also don't comment much on others diaries. I'll have a quick look and if it looks like they have made good choices for the…

I have a polar ft7, and it does something similar. I try to put it on 5 minutes in advance to working out to make sure it picks up my heart rate. Or I just start my warm up and wait for it to pick up my heart rate. It has happened a couple of times where it won't pick my my heart rate at all, so those times I just have to…

They all sound awesome. I would personally go for the mushroom ravioli or the chicken fettuccine, veal parmigiana, spaghetti pomodoro or chicken marsala.. This is making me really hungry!

Try reading. That helps me fall asleep. And even if you can't fall asleep straight away, you are still resting your body. I have also seen somewhere that you should avoid technology (tvs, computers, phones, etc) while sitting in bed waiting to fall asleep.

I am a wild dog. Seems pretty true.

I have three horses at my place. Haven't ridden for over a year. Would really love to get back into it but the horse i was riding is now retired and i am moving towards the end of the year. I hope that when I get older I am able to buy another one for fun. I am hoping to buy a bit of land. And when I have kids get them…

As what the previous posters have said. The type of nutrients in the food effects weight lose. If you head lots of high calorie foods, you will be hungry. If you eats foods low in calories, you will be able to eat more. Load up on veggies, great nutrients and low calories. Also they taste awesome! I eat reasonable well…

Haha. That's a fair enough reason. You can always get back on the weigh in wagon when things have settled down :)

You're definitely not!. I also think really big arm muscle are gross as well... I love me some tradie muscles. You can see them, but not too big.. And they get them from actually working, not sitting in a gym looking at themselves!

I will!! I'll try anyway! I bought the DVD but haven't had the motivation to start. Currently got a fluey thing so I'll see how I go! Also.. I will add you and you say when your starting and I'll start then too. We will get through it together!

I don't know about anyone else but I think mine look bigger (so does my boyfriend). I've lost 10 kilos (a little over 20 pounds)... I guess I just didn't have much fat on them or something and as my waist has gotten smaller they look bigger.. I hope they don't shrink cause I don't have much there in the first place!!!

Perhaps your boyfriend is worried that you will get healthy and lose weight (and become HOT!) then leave him for someone else. My boyfriend said this to me when I first started. He was worried that I would leave him because he was no longer good enough for me.. He was so very wrong! Talk to him. Let him know that you…

It's 10.16 am where I am (in Australia). I've had 243 calories for breakfast (weetbix, lite milk and a little brown sugar). I will probably have some morning tea soon. So tea and maybe a yoghurt...

Congratulations. Looking great. You even seem like you are standing taller in your after shots.. You look much more confident :)

Eat as healithy before you go.. and eat right before you go in so you will eat as little as possible while at the concert. Avoid sauces and extra things that add lots of calories for basically nothing. And exercise before you go to add more calories you can eat.. Good luck. :)

I have 2 dogs (a mixed breed and a cavoodle), 4 chickens (who like to peck toes!!!) and 3 horses. I just got my horse before my current one back, found out she has cancer :( She is so beautiful..

It is possible to be addicted to sugar.. If your interested, you hould read "Sweet Poison" by David Gillespie. It's all about sugar. I have only read a little but if it, but it is interesting :)

I had a quick look at your diary. To me, it seems like you may be eating too much. You should also track your salt intake as that can effect water retention. I know it will be difficult to lower your calories, try just doing 100 or so per week til you are lower. That will give your body time to adjust and you might see the…

It's a bit hard to tell without your diary open. If you open it we will be able to see what sorts of food you have been eating. Is your diet high in anything inparticular (e.g. salt, fat). Maybe you need to cut back on these things.

So what if he is a corporate lawyer. If you take a look at the book, you will see he did a massive amount of research on the topic.. Just because he doesn't a degree on the subject doesn't mean he has no idea...

The sugar (or fructose, from what the book says) from about 2 servings of fruit is about how much the body can absorb and make into energy. So having a couple of bits of fruit a day it good for you.

Maybe you need to have a read of this book........

I don't really know how to answer the question sorry but there is a really good book that I have started reading call 'Sweet Poison' by David Gillespie (I think thats how you spell his last name haha). It is really interesting and talks about how sugar can affect weightloss and how sugar consumption over the years has…

Would not let me in either. I had to request permission....

Thats it. I ate so bad on the weekend aswell.. Going to try to be good this weekend and eat better and go to the gym... I'll see how I go. I'm sure when we put our minds to it we can do it!

Definitely didn't do well in the last week. Put on 100 grams. I guess it could have been worse. I will do better this week. I'm back going to the gym. So I should loose weight next week :)

This is a great idea. Would love the extra encouragment to keep motivated. Anyone feel free to add me.

I am very keen for this. So I tried to get the spreadsheet thing to open by copying the like in the first post and it says that its not a valid spreadsheet url.... Any help? **EDIT: Tried again and it worked.... who knows what happened......**
