I second the "are you sure you're walking at 5mph?" question... that's a super fast walking pace, I have to jog on the treadmill to keep up with it. Also, what are you using to calculate your calories burned? A HRM? I ask because 657 calories is a lot burnt in an hour of walking... when I put it in for myself on MFP, it…

Almond milk!! Ever since I was a kid, I couldn't stand the taste of cow milk. While the other kids were gulping down glasses of it plain, I only liked it if it was choc flavoured. I used to pour the tiniest bit of milk on my cereal - only enough to wet the cereal, not to leave any plain milk at the bottom. My mum used to…

you look amazing! change in your face is incredible. thanks for the inspiration.

Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia, ACT (a territory but).. needa see WA and NT (again, if you count it)! edit: then there's overseas... never been to the US though

BUMP !

haha, I believe that's called fullcream milk :P

If you're that worried you'll mess it up and aren't too familiar with cooking, I'd stick to a classic version of coconut cream pie for now. Also, I don't believe in low fat desserts for special occassions like birthdays. If you're having dessert, really HAVE dessert! Just fit it into your calories or get in a workout... or…

I completed level 1 barefoot and completely screwed up my ankles for a while from landing hard during jumpking jacks etc.... I couldn't exercise for a while so I wouldn't recommend it !

GMO crops increase biodiversity..

In high school, I was always the never study type but I would admit I hadn't... and then I'd get top marks. I cruised through my high school certificate and even first year of University with no study but completing all the work. However, 2nd year of University (i'm doing chemical engineering), shock of my life - showing…

i'm 20 and looking to lose the same amount - feel free to add me.. i could do with the motivation too :P

yeah I looked on the website... something like 265? I don't know why but I can't believe it's that much (although I'm always skeptical about the estimates MFP or the gym equipments gives too so it might just be me). would be interested to hear if anyone's done it with a HRM on. thank you though, I'll log it as pilates for…

We have an espresso machine in my house and I have a double shot macchiato no sugar, every morning. I'm 20 and started drinking coffee when I was 15(?). I'd say since then, I've had no more than 5 coffee-free mornings... so ya, need it! Each time I've gone without, I've also had a distinct headache for the whole day. I…

Ahhh if only it were as easy as making a sweeping generalisation to spot the confident people. I'm tall and I will almost never wear heels because I find them uncomfortable and I definitely can't enjoy myself as much in them. If I'm going out in heels, they end up hurting after an hour of wear and I spend the night…

personally the only place i like hair-free on a guy is his back... and down there should be trimmed etc. Don't like tooo much chest hair.

When I have a binge episode, it starts off with my favourite foods... then by the end, I don't even care what it is so long as I'm eating. Terrible :frown:. My WEIRDEST choices include frozen peas straight from the freezer, jam/peanut butter/nutella from the jar with a spoon, dry cereal (even bran), sweetened cocoa powder…

yeah, I am (trying to change that to 'was') a binge eater. it's been over a week since I last binged (major achievement for me believe it or not). what's helping me keep in control atm is making sure to eat something as soon as I get hungry (obviously something which I can incorporate into my daily cal goal) and spacing…

I can't bring myself to think about my worst times long enough to estimate. The weekends were the worst though... going clubbing with friends every Saturday night and consuming the recommended daily intake's worth of calories in alcohol alone, getting pizza or mcdonalds halfway through the night between clubs, getting…

Well unlike sugar and fat, sodium has no calories. So you can't gain actual weight from eating it (someone will correct me if i'm wrong, i'm sure :) ). However, having too much sodium in your diet causes fluid retention (water weight) which will reflect on the scale and can make you look 'puffy'. Consuming too much sodium…

THIS! Also, when my putting-on-skinny-jeans dance gets so long I consider logging it as cardio. Or when I see a photo of myself and realise my face looks just like Alvin's.... Alvin the chipmunk.

nom, bump!

wall flower. would you rather eat a live cockroach or not eat for 24 hours?

It gets easier. Don't go for calorie dense food. For example, say you're aiming for ~ 300cals for lunch. This could be one single serve size pack of original flavoured potato crisps (230cals for the Smiths brand) and a banana. I would be hungry approx 13 seconds after eating this for lunch. Alternatively, you could have…

:laugh: !!

weird thread is getting graphic. get the number of a gynecologist, i hear they're good with these issues.

Of course the problem is bigger than my weight, it's my self-esteem. Unfortunately for me, the way I feel about my appearance has a huge impact on my self-esteem... i truly wish I felt differently and hence the asking for advice! Trust me, I could not care less about what my friends look like. I accept them for who they…

I feel your pain! Even when I do go out, I'm feeling self-conscious almost the whole time and worst of all, can't help comparing myself to all the other pretty, slim girls around me. Maybe the more you challenge yourself and go out the easier it will get? Good luck :)

thank you!! you're right, i can't speed up time... better to accept that as something i can't control but reaching my goals is something i can :)

Wow, amazing results - congrats! What were you eating while doing it? About how many cals would you net a day? I got half way through level 2 on the Shred and already had results! Unfortunately though, I went on holiday and it through off my schedule and I never got back into it. I'm motivated now though - might pull it…
