I did sign up, but didn't seem to really take much notice of it. I am on their site now and will give it a second go :)

Hi All, Although i am actually Australian (don't hold it against me) I became a NZ citizen in 2010 ( have lived in nz for over half my life). I'm 25 and married, have 1 dogbaby, 2 turtles and about 4kgs to go before I reach my 'goal weight'. I have been a member for a wee while now and initially loved the progress that I…

Thanks for sharing your story and congrats for being one year on. I have not known you for a lot of your journey but from what I do know you are strong and determined. I have no doubt you will achieve your future goals (weight orientated or otherwise). I have appreciated knowing that I am not the only one who has tried,…

What a nasty thing to say about someone. My response would be "and you would be an awesome friend if you weren't such an @$$"

Yum-O great post, thanks for sharing :flowerforyou:

hahaha I love it!!

Hi there, I was 8 weeks through C25k then had to stop as I got a bad flu (for 6 weeks :( ). I am going to start part way through the program today and see how I go. Sounds like we have a few things in common. Feel free to add me if you like :)

Hi there, I am on MFP take 2- day 2 and it sounds like we have similar goals and motivational factors. Maybe we could help each other out?? :) Best of luck

Congratulations on the birth of your bub. 1) Take your time and start slowly, you have just put your body through a heavenly kind of hell. If it takes 9 months to put the weight on, then 9 months to take it off is just fine. 2) I bet you can use quite a few calories pushing a pram or walking with your baby in a front pack.…

Great. Good luck with your journey :)

The snap part will be fine if you get it wet, just towel dry them before you hang it out to dry. I just wash it with whatever laundry detergent I have at the time.

I have big boobs too, but it goes below your breasts so they don't get in the way at all haha. I hand wash mine approx every week- 10 days, I would NOT put it in the dishwasher, what the??

I am gonna look into that app...thanks

I am in! Just got a new pair of trainers yesterday and can't wait to put some mileage on them :)

soup and wholegrain toast (just watch salt content) store bought salads and deli meat (low fat eg chicken or turkey) burrito wraps with sensible fillings (go easy on mince and/or cheese) stir fry (light on dressings though) homemade pizza (again go easy on the greasy) Personally I always used to rely on 'quick and easy…

Just reading this is making me want a snack... how bad is that?!?!

cliche' I know, but when you think "hmmm I'm hungry" have a glass of water, then if you are still not over it, chew gum... or just listen to your body and eat (something healthy)

If it will help you stick with MFP and feel good then yeah go for it girl... personally i try not to, but my activity level is set at sedentary so I don't really see the harm :)

This is such a hard topic,I can't wait to see what others think. I don't think that tonnes of sit ups is the key though.

^ maybe a lower calorie diet is the key ?? Best of luck with this and with his recovery.

what a great story, you should feel very proud.

I have FT4 (will probably upgrade when I am more active) but.... I LOVE IT!!!! I now see how MFP can over exaggerate calories burned (good on a binge day though lol).

1 C cooked brown rice, 1 C Wild Black rice, 1 Capsicum, 1/3 spring onion,-Sesame oil, peanuts and soy to taste mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm making that this weekend for a BBQ (serves 2 or 4 side dish)

I eat or take a bath..... or both at the same time

Only if you let it! I say good on you for all the hard yards you have put in. If you only blow out occasionally then oh well, no one is perfect all the time.

Mushrooms are my super food!!!

Sorry to say (and well done for doing lots of excercise) but you really need to eat your 1200 plus cals from most of your workout so that you come out around 1200 net at the end of the day... just make healthy food choices

Yup, I think about it all the time and now I try to think about how I can turn my craving into something healthier and sometimes I put the foods I feel like on my diary before I actually eat them so that I can see what I need to do eat during the rest of the day to keep calories low... or I take it off and don't eat it...…

Firstly, congrats on getting married, it is awesome. I can totally understand the 'he loves me for me' mentality, because he does! the problem is that we are not in love with our own body... so good on you for taking the first step. I have only been on here a few weeks and I love it. Hope to hear more about your journey as…
