  • My favorite is Cheese on toast with marmite (I ate that all the time when I was pregnant) Also tops the list of favorite and slightly weird... Grilled Hummous with feta and onion Peanut Butter, Honey and banana I have also heard that Peanut Butter and Marmite (yes, together!) is divine...but have yet to try it as I don't…
  • It's SO good and fresh tasting! Red Robin's do that here as well (in Canada!)
  • On Average between 3000-4000. Thanks! I didn't realize it was so high till after I saw your thread!
  • I'm not on a diet! I am making sensible choices and making sure I'm not over eating. :wink: Not to mention living an active and healthy lifestyle! I log ever day of the week, even if I go over or am on holiday etc...So far so good!
  • I'm at 152lbs and am a pear shape (this makes a big difference!) and I'm not sure what size i wear. I had a pair of size 13 (Canada) that are HUGE on me now. I am wearing a UK 12 skirt right now and I'm pretty sure that's what my trousers are as well...So I guess that makes me about an 8-10 (I haven't bought clothes in a…
  • Wow! That is fantastic! You look So pleased with yourself as well!
  • Your neighbour is an a**! But WELCOME! :flowerforyou: Feel free to add me as well!
  • I lost all my baby weight in 3 months, all 30lbs of it and I did it by sitting on my butt watching tv and breastfeeding. 60lbs in 5 months is no big deal especially if you're working for it.
  • I'm 5'6 and had 33lbs to lose...now I only have 15...and I'm pear shaped...add me if you like!

  • I log everything regardless of what I've eaten...If I don't, the only person I'm hurting is myself right!
  • Yes, they fade with time and you can try Bio-Oil twice a day, it's expensive but worked wonders on my c-section scar.
  • You'll find me with the hippies ;)
  • I'm totally dropping out. Between Cycling and gardening my arms are tired enough. I have downloaded the app and will be doing it in the autumn when I'm not doing quite so much arm intensive activities. :)
  • Wow! That is great progress for 1 month (If I read the dates right!) Well done and keep up the great work!
  • Yeah, I was thinking the same thing...but regardless...You should be confident, absolutely. The more confident you are the taller you stand and the more attractive you are. True story!
  • This is not always the way. My DH has lost 5lbs...I have lost 18lbs. He has a lot more to lose than I do as well. (And yes he's been counting his calories and exercising, really trying hard this time to lose the weight!)

  • I rarely bike for fun but it is increasing as my son gets older :happy: Right now I bike for exercise. I have a 21km commute to work and I know I can sit on my butt on the bus or spend that hour burning 500+ calories by biking! I get bored of the same commute but everytime I push myself to get to my destination faster or…
  • Firstly, congrats on reaching your goal! I'm not sure exactly what to suggest for ab and arms but definitely keep up the strength training. As for how much exercise you need to do to maintain...this is something you need to figure out based on your calorie intake and what your body requires to stay at that weight. If you…
  • I have a variety of stuff depending on how much time I have in the morning. If I have no time I have an instant oatmeal at my desk when I get to work. Very little time, a piece of toast with almond butter and sugar free jam (blueberry spread) which I eat as I'm walking to the bus about 5-10 minutes, I make a smoothie and…
  • When I was 21 I decided i wasn't going to waste time and money on taking a bus pass anymore so I rode to and from work 5 days a week and lost 20-25lbs without even realizing it. It took me 3 months to lose that weight. It was a 25 minute commute each way so 50 minutes of cardio 5 times a week...it's definitely going to…
  • Oh I need ideas too! BUMP!
  • I *would* post mine but both pictures had glare coming off my calves as I'm SO freakin white. Wouldn't want to blind y'all! :wink:
  • Go to sleep...actually anything but be at work! :)
  • I play Cornet / trumpet in my church band but I never count the calories (bonus!)
  • Stash Morrocan Mint Green Tea (2) Nature's Path Flax Plus Instant Oatmeal (210) 2 Hard Boiled Eggs (140) Total 352 cals!
  • Absolutely. My first 10K that I ran I was last. I thought I was going to be last on the 5km I did in April as it was my first time back to running after 5 years...and I was not last which was great! (I wasn't far off it though...) Even if you are last you are miles ahead of those people who won't even try. And…
  • Finish your program you are taking, you can do this. Things may seem a little bit scary right now but when you start to feel that little miracle growing inside of you it makes a lot of the fear go away. I had a friend who got pregnant while she was taking nursing. She had that baby and went straight back to school. My…
  • Thanks for the great ideas! But it doesn't look like very much food. I would be SO hungry if that's all I brought to eat during the day at work. :(
  • Yeah, there's nothing to it at that age. 10-15 years younger and willing to have a family? Just reading between the lines but you think you've missed your window to have kids and your friend was saying no? If that's the case...good luck to you. Try online dating...not as creepy anymore and just make sure you are honest.…
  • 4 6 4 4 6 (I think I did 7 here though and nearly put my knees down but didn't Yay!) I'm using the iPhone app so I think those are the right numbers. It was 6am when I did it so still half asleep ;)
