I work two different jobs and study at uni, so I usually throw a bunch of food in my bag and carry it around for the day. Some stuff I love to take: Carrot sticks and dips (You can pre-cut them and measure out the dip in advance so you can just grab it and go in the morning) A punnet of strawberries (The whole thing is…

Also, she hates grocery shopping - to the point that she refuses to come with me and she is a terrible cook. After three bouts of food poisoning in a year we both agreed that I should do the cooking. I love to cook, so it doesn't bother me at all.

Thanks for the great replies everyone! I just had a chat with her about it because I realised that she's the person I need to talk about this with - sensitive topic or not. And she said that she is happy for my next grocery shop to be 100% healthy and that she will go out and buy treats herself if she wants them. Hopefully…

I don't think it really matters when or how much you drink as long as you fit it into your calories. If I'm planning to go out at night I will do extra exercise during the day so that I have plenty of cals left over. Also, I like to plan how much I can drink before I go out so I know when to stop myself. And alternating…

I put on over 20kg (45lbs) in 18 months since moving out of home, I was already quite overweight before this too. I had stretch mrks on my stomach. I could barely fit into my work uniform anymore and was too embarrassed to have to order a new one in a bigger size, and I could no longer fit into any clothes that weren't…

I'm a student so I don't have a lot of money. I like to buy stuff related to weight loss (gym clothes, exercise bike, weights, etc) or new clothes (which I would have bought anyway). I don't buy them when I reach certain goals but I guess I allow myself a little more freedom with the money I spend on them. :)

Thanks for all the ideas guys! They sound amazing!

Getting rid of the junk food out of the house isn't really an option for me because my partner would kill me! What I have found really useful is to buy little snack packs of chips instead of whole bags and little mini hocolate bars instead of a whole block. It's easy to count exactly how much you are eating and it helps me…

Maybe you should think of this as a challenge? My partner and I are both overweight. At my starting weight she was still significantly heavier than me. She complains all the time about how she has no confidence and doesn't like the way she looks, but she teases me when I refuse to eat something or when I talk about…

Cauliflower soup! I sometimes mash it and use it instead of rice with curries. :)

I really only started in the last few months, but in that short time I lost 12kg, started eating healthier and increased my fitness levels. I feel amazing. I can't even imagine what will happen in 2013!

I love pureed vegetable soups, vegetable pizza made with a wrap as a base, tacos using kidney beans and lots of salad and potato salad (minus the bacon).

I'm only just over 200, but I'd still be interested. :)

My NSV is just that I felt super confident when seeing a friend I hadn't seen since 10kg ago. :)

If you're hungry, eat!!!! I'm guessing you have your calories set at a fairly large deficit, so if you need to go a little bit over it won't really make much difference. Just don't go on a binge. :)

I think the easiest way to fix this is to exercise! The 1200 calorie recomendation is before adding your exercse. Which means you get to eat your exercise calories! Go for a half hour walk or chuck on an exercise DVD at some point during the day and add these calories to your food. Another option is slowing down your…

I'm a uni student too. :) Some of my favourite meals to cook are: Individual pizzas using a wrap as a base, with lots of vegtables, a bit of ham and some low fat cheese. Stir fries and curries with chicken breast, veg and a low cal sauce (just from a jar). I also like to add konjac noodles to the stir fries and mashed…

Try to choose foods that are high in fibre. They keep you full for longer. You can get supplements that you're supposed to eat between meals to keep you full too. :)

I'm in! :)
