hoorah! oh man, i couldn't resist temptation if i had your job either! 5000 cals burnt a week is insanely good, such a shame to waste the effort. maybe this will help with those last few lbs! i still have 16 to go... maybe a bit less, i'll see when i get there lol! thanks for the add, PM me any time and let me know how…

lol, i've started before too... got to day 9 and had a birthday. which meant birthday cake and i swear my mother was going to cry if i didn't have a piece lol! but yeah... that piece led to more cravings etc. just when they'd almost stopped! if you change your mind, join whenever you like :)

Anyone, anyone at all?!

I used to dry retch at the smell - nevermind taste - of yogurt. Then I decided to give the Yoplait Formé no-fat range a try because the flavours sounded so good. The 'dessert' yogurt pack which I buy comes with sticky date pudding flavour, classic cheesecake flavour and apple pie flavour. They're amazing, really eased me…

what daily cal intake has MFP told you to eat for your weight loss goals?? you should really be eating at least 1200. try meeting 1200 after dinner and see if it helps. if not, you just have to find healthy snacks. watermellon is great - very filling, low cal. also sugar-free jello, low calorie cup-a-soups, frozen yogurt,…

:D you seem very determined, that's great! my bit of advice: PATIENCE. when you turn your life around by eating better and exerising, at first it feels like such a tough adjustment that you kinda expect the weight to melt off overnight (or at least i did, haha)! but this isn't the case, it takes time. stick at it longterm…

agreed! i haven't had fb for a month and i don't intend on getting it back any time soon, it would leave me annoyed with some friends because of their nonstop mundane posts and other times leave me feeling down and jealous of other people's lives. the grass is always greener on the other side and i found on fb, everyone's…

#1 is my favourite outfit, but it's more business-like. 3 is easily most wedding appropriate i think. you look great btw :)!

woops, can't believe I forgot to mention... The New Workout Plan by Kanye is a staple in my workouts. relevant, funny and very upbeat.
-
Shove It by Santigold, and anything by Kanye West or the Arctic Monkeys. i love listening to songs which i know most of the words to, i focus on singing them in my head and it keeps me from checking the clock when i'm on the treadmill - the time flies!
-
wow! you look incredible, congratulations! you've motivated me to keep going... taking 'before' pics was the final thing which convinced me to start a lifestyle change too lol. if my results are anything like your's at the 200 day mark, i can't wait to get there :)!

i have a ridiculous sweet tooth too so on weekends or days where the cravings are bad, i mix 1/2 cup traditional rolled oats with 1.5 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, liquid stevia (amount equivalent to 3 tsp sugar), tiny splash vanilla essence and just over a cup of water... mix really, really well and microwave…

Can you buy Belvita Breakfast Biscuits where you live? We've just had them introduced here in aus and although i haven't tried them personally, i work casual at a supermarket checkout and my customers rave about them :|. each box has 6 individual packs of 4 biscuits. 230 cal for the 4 biscuit serving, high in fibre, 5…

Yeah i'd say Weight Watchers are the main low cal brand we have here, but like you said expensive. The cost of some of the products I've found was part of what made me start this thread, was shocked to see how expensive nut butter is. No idea what Countdowns is, but I'll look into Nestle brand things :) thanks!
-
Yeah I agree there about being overly processed. I also don't want to regularly consume a lot of artificial sweeteners but having an occassional easy dessert option would be good lol, ah well

here's a helpful (but kinda long) article: http://www.syattfitness.com/the-dieters-dilemma-how-to-stay-full-in-a-caloric-deficit/ lots of good tips there on what to eat to stay full for longer! it's totally up to you if you wanna eat back your exercise earned calories - if you're having a particularly hard day, maybe make…

sorry to get a bit side-tracked, but if you don't mind my asking about how many cals do you eat a day? 2lbs consistently is impressive, i'm jealous lol! mine weight loss is never consistent, bit frustrating :(
-
would you believe me if i said tall people?
-
These were pretty yum. 116 cal per big muffin or if you make them into mini muffins, then obviously 58 cals. http://healthyisalwaysbetter.tumblr.com/post/6583755120/lessthan300kcal-triple-chocolate-chunk-muffin

From looking through your diary, your main sugar for the day is just what you add to your oatmeal. I've tried oatmeal with stevia, it's not too bad so you could try that (i actually prefer it unsweetened though). If you decide you don't like it, just swap to a different breakfast. Eggs, toast with peanut butter, low sugar…

Maybe sit him down and explain just how much getting fit and healthy means to you... for your health, your confidence. I know for me, on some of my past "fat days" I barely felt like leaving the house, that's how little self esteem I had! If you're the same, tell him! I'm sure he really wants you to be happy, he might just…
-
it amazes me how much a simple forum post can motivate/inspire you. i'll be taking all your advice on board... i agree now that moving on and starting fresh the next day would be the best option, otherwise i'd be at risk of sulking/beating myself up over it ---> more sadness ---> more poor eating, lol. thanks a lot for all…

Egg white omelettes. Although an omelette made ONLY of egg whites would be terrible - they definitely need to have extras in to add flavor.. try herbs, spices, salsa, sauteed onions and peppers or even fat free cheese.
-
LOL, what a hilarious reply - thanks buddy! :)
-
thanks so much for your reply! i think you're right... even thinking about cutting extra calories or having to stay longer at the gym the next couple of days makes me think "i could've avoided all this if i'd just not slipped up!" and wanna kick myself lol so i'm sure moving on is better than continuing to beat myself up…
-
wow, i can't imagine having to wash it every day - i'd go mad! have you tried not using conditioner every wash? or at the least, avoiding using it at all on your roots?
-
I tie my hair back in a high bun during workouts and use bobby pins to get any stray bits off my face... then after, just shower without washing/wetting my hair and use dry shampoo. i feel completely fine afterwards, and can go 3 or 4 days without having to wash my hair that way - although mine's very thick so if you have…

Thanks for your advice guys, I think you're right that, in the end, family support is crucial. Going to toughen up and explain to them that I'm serious about losing weight and brave whatever confrontation it causes :)!
