Hey Im in Queen - I love crosswalk btw!!! great place to also gain encouragment i daily life!! XXPINK

haha I clicked onto this topic expecting to hear some bull about using crystals and newage stuff to lose weight haha (no offense to anyone into that)

Hi Guys I have been MIA for a few days but am back and ready to kick some butt this week. I have been maintaining for a few days so its time for me to take it up a notch and see some results on the scales!!! This weeks challenge - I think we should all do a home fitness test at some point this week - and in 2 months we can…

I agree - although in some cases when the person is apart of lower socio-economic areas where perhaps the mindset is that running down to the fish-nchip shop will be cheaper than buying all the stuff needed to make a decent stir fry or something seems cheaper on the day with what would be spent - but to think how much more…

Hi ya – im up for an aussie group. Im an Aussie currently living upside down in the UK but im coming back to Oz in October. I dunno how many other Aussies are on this site tho to be honest! Where about are you from?? Im from Geelong, Victoria (about half an hour from Melbourne) xxPINK

Yeah thats what I thought, I will give it a go. To be honest I did a really quick google before posting so maybe I just stumbled across a few negative posts of people who dotn really know. i will do it and see what happens

jen - im going to start a thread about this and get some feedback from others so keep an eye out for it

hey jen - I havent done that yet - may do it tonight actually as i think it would be an intesrting excercise couple fo things to keep in mind - i would reckon wearing the HRM over 24 hours should probably be done a couple of times - like 3 maybe over a week and a half to get an 'average' reading rather than a one off which…

9 pound - you go girl!!!!!!!! I would log it hah!! what a good motivation to keep going!! leshawn - yay for the dress! very exciting! As i psted a few days ago 8 pound this week for me after a 3 week drought o V excited xxPINK

feel fee to drop in on the halfers club - we are people with half our weight to lose and really know what its like to need to lose a lot...you dont have to have half you weight to lose really - just a lot of weight as compared toa little... good luck with the journey xxpink

Its called Billy Blanks Tae Bo The Ultimate Colection nd its a 4 disc set although if you just seach for Tae Bo there are heaps of different dvds and boxed sets you can buy. xxpink

Keep in mind I have ALOT of weight to lose....so i supose hauled it around whilst kicking andpunchig burns extra calories than your average bear! but yes....I got a 4 disc 'best of' set and its got 2 cardio focused ones and one core uscles and one strent focused one, its quite good....was only around 13 quid on ebay too!!!…

Mizphit - i look forward to you letting us know in 9 weeks how well your doing. And your right - total deprivqation wont help....one step at a time! Each day things get easier, and look more positive!! xxPINK

i think dealing with why you binge is the first real step to a lifestyle change....coming from a reformed binge eater - i used to binge at least 4 to 5 times per week (hence my fatness), and after a lot of talking therapy and self relaxation and dealing with issues I have not had a binge for a little over 9 weeks to…

I haven’t had any weightloss for the past 3 weeks and was getting well sad about it – stood nude on the scale today and was down a whopping 8 pounds!! I didn’t trust my scales and went and weighed at the chemist and it told a loss of 7 pounds, and I was wearing clothes / shoes ect so my scales were right! I don’t know how…

welcome KCspears...we have a reat group here!!!

): noone wants a challenge?

hmmm I may have to challenge my hubby in this too! nothing like a bit of a comp

What made you check his phone in the first place? Perhaps subconsciously you knew things were as great as they should be. this is a tricky one tho - On one hand it could be somewhat of an offhanded comment...but on the other I wouldnt like my husband to text that to his mates either! Talk to him about how it makes you feel…

Hi Guys – well Im stealing an idea from the new Bikini babe Team and I think we should post up our overall Team weightless to date, starting from this Friday (im thinking it will be easier than a separate spreadsheet), I think it will be inspirational and motivate us as a team to pump it up!! We have to beat the other…

Well Im just off to walk with hubby for an hour which will bring me 10 mins over my minutes goal for this week wooooo!! No scale movement tho :( but I wont let that slo me down!!! CHALLENGE number 4 comes care of Sanjovon hich is Push Ups +5 = Any kind of push ups work . If you can do a full push up, good for you! If not -…

this is my dumbness speaking but i look at the ingredients list you posted and only see a handful if most of things that to me seem chemically... what i wrong with the following??? skim milk, wafer (bleached wheat flour, sugar, caramel color, dextrose, palm oil, corn flour, cocoa, high fructose corn syrup, modified corn…

But isnt some of that stuff in the Special K thing good?? like the vitamins ect??

I am also interested in what does what to my body ie knowing if im tired I should eat X and it will make me more energetic, if im sick i should eat x and it will help my immune system, ect ect....why certain foods can encourage bloating, how foods can affect depression (as i take antidepressants), ect ect...so thats why as…

in the long term Dave I will work on it...But I mean in the short time....as my new lifestyle emerges I need to take baby steps...and that means being realistic for myself, so i know at this stage it woudl be easy for me to say 'ok no sweets'...but then I would binge or something....its me needing to deal with my…

so we should be looking for the more natural ingredients, even if their higher in calories / natural fats ect...but eat less of them?? because I dont want to unrealistically say i will purge all sweety type foods from my lifestyle, as that would be setting myself up to fail - i cannot be a robot and switch my mind off to…

So Dave -how then do we know the 'real' nutritional values of food then?? I need a quick way of seeing, because im rubbish at maths ect....

I tried one of the brownie ones last nigth and it was AMAZING!!! xxPINK

Valtisha - glad you enjoyed your excercise! Its so great when you find an activity that you actually dont hate every minute of :) Momma24 - if we dont see you, dont give up and be tempted whilst away from the comp and not checking in!! The scales WILL move....dont let them mess with your mind! you have done so well thus…
